Editor of Open Forum -


About two years ago an illuminating experiment
worked out in California city. 1t announced
by group of people interested in Social Service Sur
vey that they would call at the homes in given
in given week to ask questions. The
chosen was highly respectable neighborhood of av
erage American homes. On certain evening in this
week % homes visited and the single question
asked "Where your children?"
In five places the children between the ages of 10
16 found to be at home In II the parents
said they knew where their children were-they
at the library, at dance, at the movies, at chums,
studying, at Scout meeting, at a party, etc. But
when the Social Service workers checked up their
guesses in only three they correct In
cases the parents admitted that they did not know
where their children were did they know where to
go to find them
1t seems as if these startling facts require
comment, and this did not happen in Ell Centro any
way. But to who loves children and who con-
stanty observes them and their activities the sad
question conles-might not average be still lower
in this community? Look about the streets at night
and the boys and girls whizzng by on bicyles or
lettering amlessly, engaged in mischief; know of
the perplexes that the library workers have with
unrestrained children watch conduct at the MOVIES
