the problem of youth delinquency
that is occupying great deal of
thought amongst thinking people
and a great deal of talk amongst
talking people, which some folks
say mostly includes us, meaning
Aunt Hagar's Chilluns" in general
Now one fellow who got some little
Tots coming along and who is real
interested far back when Chilluns
belong to all the Old Folks in the
neighborhood (For Whipping Pur-
poses) and not jest their parents
had read in the newspapers about
letting the chillun have self ex-
preston which don't mean any,
thing but letting them do as they
please.

teacher said in the Police School,
what kids need and what would put
delinquency back where it use to
be is Grown Folks Guiding Chill
suns which means whipping them
when they need 1t and some time
when they don't need it. which was
what King Solomon meant in the
Bible when he said spare the rod
and spoil the child. And as one
