licves the old home system Of West
ern civilization has completely
broken down; that parents do not
understand real "home- making" as
they did formerly, and that the
children Of the present are not in
clined to submit to authority unless
they can be shown good cause.
Base Discipline on Love
The QUESTIONABLE was amplified bA
the discussions Of the parliament Of
youth" at Hc!singfors last August at
which 46 nations were represented.
The results have been circulated by
Y. NJ. {. A. headquarters here.
The only discipline worth anything
in the home now, youth is shown to
be convinced, is based on respect and
love, and not on fear. As to how
far youth should be allowed to go
making its own decisions, opinion
was divided.
Youth made it clear that it is not
prepared to accept decisions made BY
men in years past. Youth wants
leadership, but leadership based or
understanding, not on tradition or q
mere difference in age.
Many boys said they had found il
