FROM OUR EXCHANGES
EDITORIAL COMMENT FROM OTHER WHICH
OR MAY NOT CONFORM WITH THE OPINIONS
ASKOV AMERICANA

Judge Guilford is in charge of the
juvenile department in Hennepin
county.
He pointed out that the automo-
bile is a great factor in contributing
to the delinquency of the younger
generation. He said that it affords
an easy opportunity for sex miscOn-
duct and is a method of quick exit
from the scene of crime by criminals
The principal factor in Juvenile de-
linquency is poor parental supervi-
sion and the poor home life, he said.
1t is not the homes of poor people that
cause the most trouble, it was as
serted.
49, 1T is more the type of the modern
charged. where there is a lack of
teaching and practice of self-discip-
line and self-control. Not only in the
homes of the well-to-do, but in the
homes of those of moderate circum-
stances, there is commonly little dis
cipline and control
Old-fashioned methods of discipline
and strictness are no longer popular,
he said, adding that in many homes
the children come close to being the
rulers of their households. About all
the discipline that some young per-
sons get is at the public schools, ne
concluded
Following Judge Guilford's address,
a discussion of juvenile delinquency
was led by ]. F. Fulton, superintend-
ent of the Red Wing training school
for boys, and Mrs. Mary Stewart, su-
perintendent of the home school for
girls at Sank Center.

PLAYING SAFE
Duluth News Tribune)

The automobile driver who aims to
play safe all the time realizes that
there is no such thing as an abso-
lutte right of way. While the law
may grant him the right of way at
an intersection under certain cOndi-
intersection may not concede it TO
him, and smash-up and possible
injuries are the result
The careful driver slows up at in
tersections and has his car under
control, prepared to stop if an APP
ing in front of him.
Often the careful driver is sub
jected to humiliation by other drivers
who are lined up behind him, who
honk their horns when he slows up
at an intersection where it is not
safe to cross at once. These boorish
drivers who seem never to have a
minute to spare, are perfectly willing
to push some other fellows car out
into the street and into a probable
collision.
AT intersections where there are
traffic signal lights, these hasty driv-
ers are compelled to stop and wait
their turn. But when relieved of the
restraint of the law they want every
one to get out of their way. They
chafe at delay at intersections and
drive around other cars in the middle
of the block.
The careful driver may lose his
right of way or his turn at the cross
ing now and then. He may bring upon
himself the disapproval of other driv-
ers whose only thought is to get him
out of the way, and who give vent to
their Impotence by diScOurteOus
honking of horns. But he is seldom
mixed up in nasty accident, or in
trouble with the law.

We do not know the parents nor the

surrounding the case and we do not
mean to insinnate that the parents
are to blame for the crime because if
they had known they would have pre-
vented it, we are sure. but at any late
the case should have been further in
vestigated before condemning an inno-
cent baby in such manner.
