Receives Letters
She has received in all about
20 letters, since her return,
some expressing praise, others
condemnation of her taking
part in the New York State
campaign, some of the former
commended her strongly for
having the courage of her con-
victionS.
When asked about the Ma
tional Convention of the Girl
Scouts in Boston, at which she
was one of the featured
speakers. she alluded very pleas
antly to Mrs. Hoover, the
former "First Lady," saying
she had a delightful talk with
her during which she took
occasion to ask her when they
might expect her portrait at the
White House. 1t appear it
has been travelling around the
country, being shown to Girl
Scout groups who raised funds
to purchase it.
Mrs. Roosevelt had much to
say about the Mobilization for
Human Needs meeting she at
tended in New York, on Mon
day, at which the problems of
young people were discussed by
representatives from colleges in
and near New York, and a
group from character-building
organizations.
One thing which struck her
very forcibly was that these
groups had an appalling lack
of knowledge of the whole prob
lem: in other words, they
scratch on the surface without
going deeply into the various
subjects, pertaining to them
and are rather inclined to lean
too heavily on the Government.
Very few suggested anything as
a remedy, and one boy, who
reached an impaSS in his talk,
called out to the grownups, I'VE
don't want to grow up like
you!" making it clear that cer-
tain groups of the youngsters of
today feel that we have utterly
failed to live as they wanted.

SCHOOL OR JOBS

"The trouble with youth" a mar
who knows boys recently comment
ed, "is it's youthfulness." If the
aphorism needs explanation, he add
ed, let it be said that a prime char
acteristic of youth is an urge for
activity. If opportunity for its ex-
pression is not given through
schools, and jobs are unavailable, is
it to be wondered that unadjusted
boys and girls experiment in fields
that lead to conflict with law and
order?
The dangerous age for youth is
the period when he is bridging
adolescence and early maturity. Sta
tistics prove this. In England and
Wales, forty-two per cent of all per-
sons found guilty of indictable
crimes last year were under twenty
one. In the United States, according
to Department of Justice reports,
two-thirds of all arrests for crime
involve persons between fifteen and
twenty-four, and those nineteen
years old lead any other age group
No grand social scheme can solve
the problem of unadjusted youth at
one swoop. Boys and girls, like their
elders, are not cut to one pattern.
But any adult does a real service
who makes it possible for youngs-
ter to remain in school, which is the
best agency for life training that So
ciety has yet evolved, and when
school days are over helps him get
suitable employment.
Not all boys and girls who attend
school turn out to be good citizens,
but it can be said that few turn to
delinquency because they went to
school. And a practical problem
every community faces, if it fails to
support its schools or to encourage
its children to attend, is what to do
with the idle boys and girls. 1t is
unsocial, If not illegal. to throw
them into competition with adults
for jobs and, on the other hand,
sheer idleness promises no good for
anyone.
