BOY DELINQUENCY
CURE DISCUSSED
Club Convention Hears Prof.
Zorbaugh Outline Plan
to Help Youths.

A careful and comprehensive study Of
the causes and cures for delinquency
among boys was recommended today
to the Boys Club Federation of Amer
lea, meeting here for its twenty fifth
annual convention, by Harvey M.
zorbaugh, professor Of sociology at New
York University.
Prof Zorbaugh stressed three issues
dealing with the care of boys which ne
believed should be acted on in order to
correct delinquency:
First, the study of individual boys
who do not seem to fit in with the
general plan applicable to the great
mass OF boys, with a purpose of finding
the cause and cure Of delinquency.
Records Suggested.
Secondly, the keeping of records of
the activities In the club Of each indi-
vidual boy and especially the keeping
Of records Of the delinquent individuals
Third. closer cooperation and
study Of other social groups. such as Boy
Scouts, in an effort to coordinate for
the greater benefit of the Boys Y
Clubs"
The study Of individual cases would
be made by persons especially equipped
by training in psychology and behavior
ism to analyze the individual problems
and recommend solution" under the
plan advocated by Prof Zorbaugh.
Work Neglected.
I'm the past" he continued. mo ef-
fort has been made to study the prob
lens of individual boys who do not fit
in the general plan Of activities as
sumed by the mass. These problem
boys divide roughly into two groups
those who do not show interest in par
ticipating in the sport or effort of the
Boys Club and are side-line spectators,
and those who take part in an antag-
onistic manner, interfering with peace
and harmony.
Procedure in the past has been to
expel these youngsters and have no
more concern about them. However. 1t
has been called to the attention of the
federation that this action is negative
and that the boys who really need the
assistance are the very ones who are
being neglected.
Hence. 1t Is proposed that the direc-
tor or assistant director or some one
of each Boys Club devote a year to
the study Of behaviorism and kindred
sciences, so as to be equipped psyche
logically to investigate each delinquent
and recommend course of action TOR
improvement.

SAY F0SHAY WAS
GOOD ADVERTISER
Attorney For Promoter Con-
tends No Fraud Involved
In FIashy Ceremony

Minneapolis, Oct. 12.-R-Numer-
Gus expenditures of w. B. Foshay en-
terpriSes which the government has
alluded to as extravaganza, were in
stead good advertising, the defense
contended Monday In seeking acquit-
tai of Foshay and six associates on
charges of mail fraud.
f. P. Kelly of defense counsel, told
the jury expenses incurred for travel,
for fitting up the 32-story Foshay
tower here, and for dedication of this
building was good investment made
in good faith," by the promoters.
He said the governments frequent
references to the expenditures were
aimed to prejudice the Jury, a ma
jority of whose members are farmers.
You and I arc almost child like
when it comes to analyzing the af-
fairs to Foshay's gigantic enterprises"
Kelly said.
"Thcse expenditures before the re-
ceivership in November. 1929, appear
ed proper and even wise. Now 1t is
easy to question them in view OF the
collapse Of the enterprises"
More than two days of defense ar
guments remain before the case will
be ready for the jury, 1t was estimat-
ed by attorneys.
