Delinquent Children and Their Parents

The increase in juvenile delinquency in many
cities of the United States is viewed with alarm
by social workers and heads of reform societies.
Many causes have been assigned for the increase
in the number of youthful wrong doers, and for
the most part environment and conditions out
side of the home are ascribed as factors leading
the youth astray.
The opinion of number of social workers
that the parents themselves are largely to blame,
it seems, is unpopular in many quarters but after
all that probably is the eNmost adequate and salts
flying explanation. Parents either are indiffer-
ent about or ignorant of the activities of their
children.
Too many parents are so engrossed with their
own affairs, pleasures and diversions that they
are perfectly satisfied to let their children choose
their ways of life, as if the boys and girls pos
sessed enough Judgment and character to make
wise selections and iudicious decisions.
All of which suggests that the home has lost
its aluring character a center Of juvenile
activity and impulse. None of us will admit that
the home has broken down far its vital
position in our social life is concerned, but all are
forced to confess that somehow and somewhere
in the course of our national development outside
forces have succeeded in fascinating the child to
such an extent that parental influences have
been neutraliZed.
This condition cannot be blamed entirely on
the parents, either. Many of the features of our

Ripping Rhymes
BY Walt Mason
IN A HURRY

Well-framed statutes little needing,
laughing all the laws to scorn, still
the fathead fan goes speeding, honk-
ing blithely on his horn. Through the
streets of thronging traffic, he goes
like the bolt of doom; and the epitaph
is graphic that we place upon his
tomb. Lives of speed fiends should
remind him death awaits, in many
styles; but the cloud of dust behind
him shows he's hitting go miles; "1et
no speed law halt or stay me-" all his
actions seem to rave; and the choir
sings Now | lay me-" when we gather
round his grave. When he reads the
daily papers, with their lists of auto
wrecks, he must see such bonehead
capers lead at last to broken necks:
through the crowds we see him Slip
ping, throwing up the dust and rocks;
and our tears are sadly dripping
when we lay him in his box. He is
sane in other matters, he is wise in
many things, but he rips the road to
tatters and the landscape into strings:
all in vain our admonition, vain our
protests and appeals, and the sad and
stern mortician sorts his fragments
fro mthe wheels. In the boneyard he

with the legislators, and confirmation
of Nugent's appointment was with
held.
New Nugent threatens to run for
governor of the state on wet plat
form, with the hope OF having revenge
on his enemies.
Prohibition and suffrage are the pet
aversiOns of the Newark boss. Since
he fell heir to the political assets of
the late James Smith, Jr. he has
fought both at every turn. Both have
trampled right on over him, only to
lind him at the next milestone ready
to dispute the right of way again.
In his own baliwick Jim Nugent
'wields as great a power as does Char
les T. Murphy in New York. There
the similarity between the New York
and Newark bosses begins and ends.
Nugent's freedom of speech is as pro
verbal as Murphy's silence.
Nugent was born in Newark 5S
years ago. He was admitted to the
bar in 1898 and to the ranks of nlatri-

Memories Of Old Days
In This Paper Ten Years
Ago Today

A Richmond chapter of the Square
Deal club was being organized at the
Odd Fellows hall, l. o. o. F., on Feb.
Z, 1912. The hall, which was at Eighth
and Main streets, was the scene of
two meetings, one in the afternoon
and one in the evening.
"a Y. W. c. A. for Richmond" was
the latest slogan of a band of public
spirited local citizens. Agitation of
the matter was opened at the closing
dinner of the Y. NJ. C. A. financial
campaign. The opinion was being ex-
pressed by many prominent residents
that Richmond's first need was an in
stitution for young women, and that
such a place would without doubt be
secured within a very few years.

TUBERCULOSIS AND CIVILIZATION

tuberculosis came with civilization.
And it will stay with civilization until
civilization defeats it, according tc
Prof. Chalmette, of the Pasteur insti-
tute, in Paris. A striking feature of
this disease is its rarity among un-
civilized and nomadic peoples, like iso-
lated African tribes. On the other
hand he insisted that in the modern
cities of Europe and the United States
practically no aduN escapes tubercu-
lar infection. He estimated that 90
per cent of city populations are infect
ed at the age of years, 55 per cent at
Is years, and about 81 per cent of all
those above that age.
