Mr.. l.. c. Bates, Editor

Dear Sir:
Today, we read in newspapers,
magazine and bulletins, also hear
from the pulpit and over the ra-
dos, SO much information about
crime and delinquency among our
young people, especially teen
ayers and the adults The statistics
quoted are disturbing and make
us wonder what is wrong. Who or
what is responsible for this con-
dition? Is the Church solely to
blame, especially the ministers
and Church School leaders? Are
our pubic schools and colleges at
fault? Is the home the chief
source OF the trouble, that is, shall
we say that the mothers and ia
theirs are the ones responsible for
the larga number of young peo-
pie becoming the problems of our
courts?
1t is not enough to talk about
these unfavorable conditions
they require action on the part OF
everyone OF us, beginning with
the parents especially the house
wives from the most humble
homes and the wealthiest homes
and must include all persons in
position of leadership or that have
any influens IN community.
II is believed that most Of us
would shuoGer in horror at the
very idea O. having to live in
world not governed by Christian
principles. Toe fundamental prin-
ciples Of our law books are based

concur in the idea of Mrs. K.
L., Arlington. that growing girls
should have their interest de-
veloped in domestic science as a
preparation for marriage. The
heavenly smell Of a cooking roast
is more compelling than all the
come-hither perfume in the world
There are several night school
courses, and the high school
course is excellent. Some univer-
stiles have chefs courses for the
men. Recently Va 81" B. S. in
Business Administration graduate

to me that his lemon meringue pie
got a prize. 7 believe credit In
domestic science ought to be re-
quired for a high school gradua-
ton.
Developing the interest of the
growing girl is the duty Of the
mother. My experience may sug-
gest something. AS a child, I was
never allowed in the kitchen and
was told that no lady soiled hei
hands with housework. Married
I did not know how to make a
cup of tea. bought a cook book
and struggled through 1t some
how. When my three daughters
were growing, I determined they
would not repeat my experience,
I made out ii was a privilege to
help mother In the kitchen, and
a treat to go to market and help
buy groceries, All were anxious

and look it UP in the cook book. p"
Thus they made the acquaintance
of the index, learned to assemble
materials and follow directions,
being lavishly praised for the re-
suit. We solemnly conferred on
what to buy, how much, what to
do with the leftovers, thus learn

often send In requests for infor-

late. I think they forget that 1t

make four weeks. ct least. from
