'AdoIescent Girls Grow
Too Fast in Wartime
FB| Group Is Told

The charge that adolescent girls
grow up" too quickly in wartime
was made today by DR.. Augusta F
Bronner, psychologist with the Judge
Baker Guidance Center in Boston, in
a discussion before the National Po-
lice Academy of the Federal Bureau
Of Investigation.
DR.. Bronner said many of the So
called victory girls" are acting out
a fantasy that centers around ro-
nance. They want to get away from
the humdrum life of little girl.
So far, DR.. Bronner SAID commu-
mites have done little to meet the
challenge presented by the wave
of delinquency among girls. In
some areas, she said, efforts have
been made through the establish
ment of canteens and recreational
facilities which 'teen-age youngsters
are allowed to run themselves. In
one New England city, she said,
block dances for younger adolescents
have contributed greatly to reduc-
ing delinquency.
Names Two Factors.
The psychologist also blamed two
other factors for the rise in delin-
quency among young girls:
The fear that good times will end
with the war.
The ease with which they can now
obtain employment. thus making it
attractive to run away from home
and parental control
DR.. William Healy, husband of
DR.. Bronner, and also associated
with the Judge Baker center, said
juvenile authorities find it easier to
work with parents today than they
did 80 years ago because the in
f1uence of such organizations as
parent-teacher associations and of
guidance columns in daily news
papers.

said, ARE referred to us directly by
worried parents. It shows what

Raps Generalization.
Quoting newspaper headline,
Delinquency Blame Laid on
Mothers" DR.. Arthur L. Beeley, So
GEOLOGY professor of the University
Of Utah, told the class yesterday
afternoon that the generalization is
'unscientific."
Contending that schools, churches
and other agencies are taking over
some of the functions once CEN
tered in the home, DR.. Beeley also
pointed to commercial entertain
ment.
Influence of Radio, Films.
1.-THE influence of the average
mother" he said, isn't a drop in
the bucket compared to the influ-
ence of the films and radio pro-
grams"
DR.. Beeley maintained that par
ents must be held responsible for
the welfare of their children but
asserted that the outside agencies

The Philadelphia Orchestra gave
one of it's most brilliant per-
formances last night at Constitution
Hall. where the program selected by
Eugene Ormandy sustained the
interest from start to finish. 1t
served further to introduce locally
the renowned French violinist, Zinc
Francescatti, who electrified the
audience with his superb playing OF
the Paganini Concerto No. in d
Major, Op. g." Keyed up to a high
pitch of enthusiasm, the presenta-
ton of the new work by Robert
Russell Bennett, THE Four Free
doms," aroused the audience to a
demonstration for an American
composer and his outstanding COM
position that was good to hear.
Such concert goes down in the
annals of the city's musical history
to be remembered and spoken of time
and again. Mr.. Ormandy was in
that clairvoyant mood from the
opening measures of the Haydn
symphony No. 102" that discerns
the tenuous qualities in every phrase.
This more mature symphony OF
Haydn's, broad in its conception and
dramatic in style, was built up SC
carefully that nothing was over
looked. It's romanticism. delicacy
and power stood forth in delinea-
ton that also brought into play the
remarkable dynamic skill of the
orchestra.
In summing up the amazing talent
which Mr.. Francescatti disclosed at
his local debut, one might say that
he combines all the special attri-
butes that have been distributed
