Fathers and Mothers
Blamed by Governor !.
For Childrens' Crimes

GROTON, Conn.,, july 10 u.N.Sy
Fathers and mothers, more than the
younger generation. were blamed
for conditions that lead to crime bX
Gov. o. Max Gardner of North Caro-"
lima, in an address today before the
twenty first conferences OF governors
at Hotel Griswold.
IF father and mother do not know
how to behave, how is it possible to
expect that their children shall be-
have better?" asked Governor Gard
ner. IF father and mother have
lost all ethical conceptions. why
should we expect that their children
adhere to moral and ethical princi-
ples?. II family relationships are to
be increasingly dominated by nothing
more than. the desire for self-gratifis
cation and material gain, is it not
reasonable to expect that honorable
traditions will be involved?
Little to Reverence
When you come to think of It,
what Is there left for modern youth
to reverence? Our central interpres
tation of life Is dominated by a soun
less materialism and In the everlasts
ing whirl OF things we have lost our
sense Of values. We are making Il
terribly difficult for our young men
and young women to develop any
real strength and depth of character.
The disintegratiOn or neglect of the
religious ideal deprives youth Of
that element which, more than any
other single factor, gives stability
and certainty to it's moral convic.
tions. -@a
Governor Gardner said among the
vital problems confronting civilized
mankind The Sinister Phenomenon
OF Criminality" occupies q foremost
place.
Crime is. one of the countryg
biggest and most profitable bust
nesses, he declared. ''It ig re.
sponsible for the largest single item
in the cost OF government, and 1t
undoubtedly is on the increase
To Governor GarSiner's mind, one
OF the profoundly .disquieting fac
tors is "the rapid decay of family
life. He saw q direct and clearly
discernible connection between thiA
process and youthful criminality. r
Misfortune Of Age = =
1T Is a misfortune Of our age

youth is the product of heredity
