HOME TRAINING

Rlght-thinking citizens will com
mend Judge FARMLAND w. L. Miles for
calling a conference of church leaders
to discuss means of coping with iuven-
lie delinquency in RoXbury. The re-
Spouse was gratifying; all groups and
creeds were represented Home and
religious training was emphasized as
indispensable for preventing or check
ing the growth of anti-social tenden-
cles IN children. Since it is usually
during play hours that juveniles are
most likely to get into mischief, the
group of clergymen adopted plans to
cooperate with parents in directing
chlldren's play-time activities into safe
channels.
The alarming increase of juvenile
delinquency in RoXbury, as revealed
by the number of cases in the District
Court, made it imperative that some
thing should be done about it, and in
the single meeting with Judge Miles
last Saturday the aroused clergymen
acted unanimously in forming an or
ganlzation to defend Roxbury from
further outbreaks of juvenile offenses
lhey placed the blame exactly where
1t belongs-parental neglect of the
home and religious training of iuven-
lies. "Too many children are growing
up without learning obedience to law
full authority in the home" says a
local clergyman, "and when they get
out on the streets they have no re-
Spect for law or decency or the rights
of others, old or young, and sooner or
later they are lacked up by the
police" In the words of Judge Miles
the broad purpose of the clergymen's
organization is "to rehabilitate the
present law offenders and to provide
sports and other entertainment so that
boys and girls will not hang around
corners and get into mischief"
Nobody will begrudge young folks
their play-time. But among educa-
tlonal and civic leaders grave concern
is expressed today concerning the
changed conditions in the American
home-which allow children "too much
leffssthre out of doors" Time was when
sis" and "sonny" had definite
amount of chores to do, or else Edu-
Gators deplore "the disappearance of a
work environment in the home, except
on the farm Children are growing up
without an appreciation of the value
of money and without an understand
ing OF work as a career or of work be-
havior although work and contact with
work are important to their educa-
ton" Parents, they urge. should
compensate for this lack in the home
by establishing a regular routine of
chores and showing an appreciation of
craftsmanship"
These convictions no doubt are
shared by many of today's successful
men and women who will frankly tell
one that their daily allotment of home
ana neighborhood chores started them
on the road of industriousness and
thrift; and that zest for play was
sharpened when play-time came after
the chores were done. 1t might be a
good idea to have isis" and "sonny"
realize that play is a part of the re-
compense or reward for having faith
fully fulfilled the home duties assigned

To the Editor of The Guardian:
Boston and it's immediate environs
boast two things above all others: the
almost fanatical devotion to the laws
of fair play and practically univer-
sal Christianity. Here, more than
anywhere else in America, are the two
things found most closely, and most
often, coupled.
Imagine then, if you can, the tor
ture that the souls of Crispus Attacks,
Robert Gould Shaw, Moorfield Storey,
the Beechers, the Garrisons, the
Longfellows, and all the others, who
loved personal liberty, abolition of
bondage and the application of simple
Christian fairness, must have suffered
If they could have visited their home
again few days ago and seen two
great teams meeting each other, with
their game marred by an ominous
shadow hanging over the field; a sha-
dow OF Jim-crow hanging there be-
cause one player, an acknowledged
sportsman and Christian, was barred
from the field because he happened to
be colored.
Those souls could not have suffered
more than do the scores of colored
Catholics in Boston, who have to real
lze that the Church we love is still a
victim of the weaknesses of some of
It's followers. 1t is we who have to
realize, more than the indignant Pro-
testants, that the proper application
of the Christian doctrines of Catholi-
clsm would have prevented such an
outrage as the barring of Montgomery
from game because Florida players.
allegedly, wanted him out. 1t is we
who have to continue our mission of
spreading word of the indisputable
glory OF our church in the face of
weaknesses like this one.
Can we do less than call on Boston
College, as one group of Catholics to
another, to follow more closely the
teachings of our faith, and never let
such shadow hang over the school or
its activities again?
