groups such as the YMCA, the
YWCA and scout organizations
which have prevented youngsters
from becoming delinquents.
The prime responsibility. how
ever. must rest on parents, the
Governor said.
He quoted P. H. Chang, the
Chinese Consul-Ge in New
York, as having said China has
few delinquents because the Chi
nese child will not shame his
parents and thinks of their re-
,ct'on before he does something
Much of this philosophy could
be applied in America, Gov. Nc
Keldin said. But parents, OF
course. cannot expect such re-
|spect unless they deserve it.
Parents who are too busy
with their own children to talk
with them and counsel them
cannot expect the children tc
know what would please them OF
what would shame them.
Parents who have destroyed
the old conception of a home as
a place for their children tc
gather with their friends can
not expect that home to be
Irevered.
Parents who lack concern
about where their children are
and what they are doing can
not expect the children to worry
too much about parental reac.

Yes, it is a big problem. II

Gov. McKeldin told a con-

opening here today that this
could be the most important
conference in the history of
Maryland"
There shall be no decisions
reached here" he told the COM
mission he appointed to study
youth problems, mo. definite
solutions developed to the prob
lem Of juvenile delinquency.
There shall be. rather. a
planting of seeds and a graft
ing Of branches.
1T will be up to each of us
to tend the young shoots and
nourish the gratis. It will be up
to us to seek constant improve
ments from the fields of ideas
and efforts in the hope that in
the years and months ahead we
shall observe the bloom Of good
results"
The Governor noted that each
State and the District of Colum-
& bia 'is doing something to curb
this blight on youth which we
have labeled Juvenile delin-
quency.'"
Some of the experiments are
working. others are failing. But
out of them, he predicted, will
come some working answer to
problems of juvenile delinquency
He said he hoped the Maryland
group. headed by State Welfare
Director Thomas j. S. Waxter
would take the initiative toward
setting up an interstate agency
to serve as a clearing house oi

For Overtime
Football Drills

Montgomery County high
school coaches have been warned
not to overWork football players.
The warning came in special
memorandum to coaches and
principals from Physical Educa-
ton Department Director c. j.
Bride, who stated, This office
has had several complaints con-
corning long football practices"
Mr.. Bride advised, Coaches are
asked to plan their practices to
last no longer than 100 minutes"
He pointed out, "The effective
ness of football practices that last
over 90 minutes is most question
able because of fatigue and in
terest."
The physical education director
warned coaches of another pos
sible misuse of high school play
ers. "If a school plays junior
varsity game during the week,
this means any boy participating
in a junior varsity game cannot
participate in a Friday or Sat
urday varsity game"
Mr.. Bride offered the sugges-
ton, "The answer to the problem
is a varsity and junior varsity
squad rather than shifting play
ers from squad to squad"
