A.lOOKHAG
AND
AeLHSTEAEAG
BY Ellen Haged0rn

Do you ever get desperately
depressed? In your depression
do you feel inferior and ordin-
airy; a man for whom fate has
nothing in store but common,
routine everyday occurances?
Ahead you see a long road of
dull tasks which must be done,
and your Imagination colors
them a moist, putty grey. The
greyness seeps into your very
soul, you feel cold, dragged out
and your mind tiredly asks,
whats the use?"
1t is not for us to answer
that question. Let it be suffic-
lent for us that we are on this
earth for a definite purpose,
even though that purpose may
be obscured.
1t was Lincoln who said: God
must love the common man,
he made so many of them"

If you think we are having
troubles with our schools today,
turn to page two and read Ida 10

and you will find out that this
school problem is very old one.
1 wonder when churches, the
press, and the various organizations
interested in youth projects will stop
using that horrible misnomer, "Ju-
venile Delinquency"
1t has been my privilege to work
with boys Gin both the Boy Scout
and Boys Club work. for over Is
years, and l again repeat the state
ment that have made time and time
again. that in my book there is no
such thing as bad boy. There are
misguided boys, there are misdirect-
ed boys; there are neglected boys,
and there are mischievous boys, but
not really bad boys,
Youngsters are touchy; they are
sensitive; and they resent being
branded as juvenile delinquents. AS
one of them in the Boys Club said
to me just the other night, 'Mr.
Douglas, come from poor family
and we haven't got much of home,
but we do the best we can, and /
certainly appreciate being able to
have such place as the Boys Club
to come to-"
But I wonder how much that kid
appreciated reading story that ap-
peared in both the daily papers,
that a local organization was putting
on project to raise funds to help
the Boys Club and other organiza-
tfons in an effort to combat juven-
lie delinquency. And / also wonder
how the kids in both the white Boys
Club and colored Boys Club, to say
nothing of the kids at the San Mar
Home, felt about having pictures of
their members used to illustrate
such story.
Certainly, too much cannot be
done for the youngsters of this COM
munity, particularly those who are
not financially able to take advan-
tage of the many opportunities that
are available to those who can pay
their way. But for heavens sake
don't spoil any work that might be
done for them by using that horrible
phrase Juvenile delinquency"
The City of Baltimore set an ex-
ample for the rest of the country
when its courts decided that what
was the matter with too many
youngsters, was not juvenile delin-
quency, but parental delinquency,
and in Baltimore when youngsters
get into any trouble it is not the kids
that are brought into court, but their
parents.
Let's all get behind everything we
can do for the youngsters of our
community, but let's call the various
projects undertaken: projects to
Promote Youth Recreation and
Character Building
