Many delegates have been asked
this question: What in your judg-
ment is the most critical problem
confronting children in your COM
munity?"
This is the reply of Capt. Will
liam G. Kiefer. chief of the Crime
Prevention Bureau of Louisville,
KY:
Parental! Too many parents
do not have sufficient interest in
the complete welfare of their chill
dren. Too many parents do not
have the ability, and do not have
enough ambition to acquire it, TO
rear their children properly"
Mrs. r. Willard Duncan, teacher
and wife of potato grower from
klamath Falls, Oreg., declared:
MY own greatest ambition for
children is that we adults give
them a fair chance for survival,
unshackled - physically, mentally
emotionally, economically"

Spurred by black reports from
Korea, the House Military Appro-
priations subcommittee is driving
to get the new $16,844, 900, 900

Quick passage appears certain
when the bill reaches the House

Scientific Research Stressed.
Presenting a different point Of

necessity of objective scientific re-
search and application in dealing
witt, youth problems.
Leonard w. Mayo. director Of
the Association for the Aid of
Crippled Children, outlined six re-
quirements for any real advance
in the field of youth study. He
called for:
/. A scientific attitude of mind
that does not reject simply be-
cause it does not know, which
does not let bias rule nor allow
insistence on one point Of view to
have sway"
2. A far better synthesis Of
available knowledge than we have
at present and "tfe realization
that research, application and
more research are all a part Of
one process.
8. The recognition that "there
is an art as well as a science of
