WHERE YOUTH is LACKING.
Short on s-7se Of Responsibility and
Correct Point Of View.

Short On s-7se Of Responsibility and
Correct Point of View.
The 15-year-old runaway Columbus
boy who writes back to his parents
that he has gone TO New York and
will s.perhaps write again in a few
years is seemingly a very selfish
youth ard hard-hearted, too, but he
is probably not as bad as he ap-
pears. His lack OF consideration for
the grief of his parents is owing, IN
doubtedly. to the fact that he has
but the smallest comprehension OF
their state of mind. He knows
when he thinks Of it, that they love
him. but does not understand what
mart he has In their lives and how
anxious they are for his welfare
lust as a moral sense is thing OF
growth. so is a sense Of responsibility
and SO is the ability to take the
point of view Of other people. Youth
Is Hkely to be singularly lacking IN
these virtues.

findings of ornithologists. whom he
would Immediately dispatch to the
