Juvenile Delinquency

This is apropos of an article in The
Star of September %, entitled Raid,
'Reck and Ruin" the three RS Of hood
lum school children's choosing.
Not meaning to be sarcastic, but
aren't children supposed to express
themselves freely-or have the opin-
ions and theories of educators changed?
It is more frightening to wonder
what is wrong with parents, educators
and our public school system than it
is to be frightened at the pranks of the
youngsters Children are only at lest
the reflection aof their parents and
environment That should not be diff
cult to understand. What the children
are doing, as bad as it is. is one way
of bringing the problem to the place
where it originated-in the home. This
should not be a public problem. We
are not a regimented people. COR are
we?) Are we, or the state, responsible
for our children?
1t is high time that parents answer
these questions. Instead of engaging
in unimportant activities, it would be
more to the point if the PTA were to
spend the same time and effort learn
ing what the children are doing and
how they are being trained. Many
good and conscientious teachers would
be only too happy to know that they
had this kind of cooperation.
This deplorable behavior by school
children could bring an end to public
education. Surely parents of we'll
behaved children, and others as WE'LL
should not be further taxed for such
wanton waste. Strenuous objection and
indignation should be voiced at even
the suggestion.
Juvenile Court has been trying to
cooperate with parents, but when the
court ceases to be successful, then it
appears that we shall have to make
new laws to deal with juvenile delin-
quents Which shall it be: Penal farms,
or homes, worthy of the term?
Parent.
Both the home and society have been
blamed for juvenile delinquency; one
or the other is usually said to be more
at fault. Rather rarely is it said that
both are equally to blame. It would
seem in most cases. however, that since
the home is in a better position to mold
and influence the boy or girl, the bur-
den of proof in this case must rest upon
the home
Yet there is third factor that is too
often forgotten-that is the particular
boy or girl-and in the final analysis,
this factor outweighs in Importance the
other two factors, the home and society.

Unless a President himself make:

his papers with great care. But
considerable part were scattered after
his death. The Library of Congress
has more than half, which are said to
have cost the Government about
$4,000.
Coming down to the period since
1900, the Theodore Roosevelt. Taft
Wilson and Coolidge papers are in the
Library of Congress. Mr.. Hoover's
papers are in the Hoover Library at
Palo Alto, Calf. The Franklin D.
Roosevelt papers are at Hyde Park,
administered by the National Archives.
After President Harding'S death, Mrs
Harding collected and destroyed most
of his correspondence. Only COM
paratively small part of his papers
vemaln and they are widely scattered.
The Library has substantial collec-
ton of the important Madison papers.
And thereby hangs a tale about Mrs.
Madison. After Madison's death, she
sold collection of his papers to the
Government for 100000. Later. in 1848,
when she was hard up, the Government
paid her $25,000 for the rest of the COL
lection. But the charming Dolly held
out.
After her death it was found she had
bequeathed the papers she had still
retained to her son by her first mar
riage He sold them to a New York
dealer. Marshall Field of Chicago
bought them and turned them over to
the Chicago Historical Society," The
Government pressed its prior claim and
got them. but had to pay $4,000 more.

Another speaker was William
Warner of the ani-mosquito con.

He said the anti-mosquito pro-

There are about 1900 eisterns In

them are in bad condition. He said
many OF the eisterns constitute
breeding areas for mosquitoes and
during about eight months Of the

when be could convince no one
that such a thing existed.
The State Department yesterday
asked the Canadian government
10 arrange an interview between
Gouzenko and Sen. Jenner (R-Ind1

Gouzenko has been living in
Canada under an alias and with
police protection since, as Rus
sian code clerk at the Soviet En-
bassy in Ottawa. he exposed Red

194s with contacts in The United
States.
In q note to the Canadian EN-.
bassy, the State Department EN-
phasized that Jenner's subcomrnit.
tee would abide by Canada s
decision as to what part Of Gou.
zenko's testimony, IL any, could
be made public.
Accepted also were Canada's
other terms: (ll that the interview
must be under Canadian auspices,
and (2) that Gouzenko must be
willing to risk his police-guarded
Obscurity BY testifying.
The State Department said il
has no official word on the latter.
But in an announcement, which
indicated the meeting might al
ready have been arranged, II said:
''In view of the necessity Of pro-
tecting Mr.. Gouzenko's security,
the arrangements concerning the
time and place Of the meeting can.
