- not a pleasant one. Some
angles of it are too unpleasant to
print. But unless you never 60 out
in public. you can hardly be un-
aware of the increasing neglect
of such hitherto well-kept places
as the lounges, as well as dressing
rooms, of first-class hotels and
theaters. Even the lounges of
clubs are not kept in as perfect
order as they used to be. AS for
the really public places such as
waiting rooms in railroad termi-
nails, rest rooms in department
stores, the problem is becoming
Augean!
Shortage ef Attsndants
IT IS true that food-eaters and
wspaper-discarders have always
been conspicuous offenders. The
chewing gum -scatterers have even
ranked with the wall-defacers as
doing permanent damage. But
heretofore their destructive hab-

efficient employees, whose present
scarcity makes the orderliness of

have invented nothing.
There's all this talk about causes, so may
be this will surprise you. We've made survey
- out of 452 cases. only three of the kids had
fathers in the service; only 10 had mothers in
war plants. And only tiny percentage of the
delinquents came from transient families.
The majority were the kids of people who
lived here long before the war"

boy, there's nobody around to look out for
him. Before the war we had Juvenile Divi-
sion which saw to it that these youngsters
went into the right kind of jobs under the
right conditions. But Congress thought that
sort of thing was a fril, 50 it was killed. Right
now we need that division more than we ever
did. Most of these kids are swell They have

ing for. Delinquency has definite causes and
definite cures. Here is summary of what
everyone saw told me:
The ethics of nation have much to do with
the ethics of its children. Children have more
opportunities to 60 wrong now. They are
living in exciting times - and the teen-ages
are forgotten and neglected by almost every
body in the excitement. And, of course. it's
easy to be good when there's no temptation
to be bad.
The war has been factor but it's not the
whole cause by any means Key City's crime
rate has gone down consistently since 1924.
But during that entire time, the percent
age of serious crimes committed by juve-
niles has gone up just rs steadily. So
we can't just blame it on the war.
We have just now reached the period in
child care comparable to Paster's period in
the field of medicine. We have natural
tendency to seek single-cause explanation
and single-remedy cure. There is no such
thing. All the experts know is that so-called
juvenile delinquent will adjust himself when
they restore to his home and surroundings
the security. understanding. stability. real
guidance and affection that he has needed.
Sszsagthsa he Hems
10 FIGHT delinquency. we must do every
single thing we can to strengthen the home.
We must 50 gear our educational system that
it can genuinely supplement the parents
training. The church and the community itself
must be ready and able to help. We must
have well-integrated rereational programs.
Right now, we desperately need to find
some way something more than scrap and
war drives to fit our kids into the war
effort. England gave them more important
Jobs to do - and the minute it did. its juve-
delinquency wave was broken.
That will help now. But don't let anybody
tell you that as soon as the war is over. our
Juvenile delinquency is going to vanish.
Because it won't.
It won't until we all realize that there are
no real juvenile delinquents. But there are
delinquent parents, delinquent schools and
delinquent communities.
