These disturbances are

pointed the situation in these
words: "We must once again
recognize that parents are the
No. authority in a youngsters
life. We have swung pretty far
away from the notion Of paren-
tai responsibility, to the notion
that when youngster does
wrong it is society's fault.
To-day the situation is critical
and we must get parents back
on the job. We can't stand idly
lby and chew our. nails" =
Mr.. Turnbladh suggested that
for some parents who are will
fully negligent we might need
something like Parents Anony-
nous to do what A. A. does for
alcoholics. There even might be
a "hard core" of parents who
need disciplinary action. he
acknowledged.

Again, / cannot agree with Mr..
Whitman that the Nations par

confused by his 'galloping new

cannot do and are not doing a
good job with their children. It
lis true that we have juvenile de-
linquents in our country today;
that it is q growing problem, and
one with which we in the Chill

nant ideas about parenthood
during the past 20 years provides
some possible clues. Parents
were imbued with the idea that
freedom was what children
needed most, and any attempt to
regulate it or modify it would
mark the parent as unenlight-
ened and a fuddy-duddy.
Under the influence of gallop-
ing new moods in psychology,
some OF our experts felt that in
dividual parents weren't much
good at rearing children any
way and it would be far better
to have them reared on a COM
munity basis. The school and
social agency could do a much
better job, these experts said.
Almost anything a parent
wanted to do-out Of the depths
of his natural instincts or the
|meditations of his mind and
'heart-was wrong anyway.
The New Idea
Chastened by unhappy expert
lence (juvenile court delinquency
cases have risen As to so pei
cent in five years and the enc
lis not in sight) most observers
today are ready to return th'
lob of child-rearing to the par
ents-and let them do it theil
way.
We cannot put a policeman
over each boys shoulder, no
should we ever want to. Neithe
can the social worker. the pro
baton worker, or the brigh
young man in the police juvenil
bureau take the place Of mothe
and father in the natural scnem

I am very happy that Howard
Whitman, In his series, "Parent-
hood without Hokunl," recog-
nizes parents as people-people
with an important and abso-
lutely essential job to do in rails
ing their children.
I am myself the father Of five
children and I would be the last
to protest a general acceptance
of this premise.
But I think Mr.. Whitman goes
"A little overheard when he says
that under the influence Of gall

|ogy," some of our experts think
schools and social agencies can
do a much better job than par

I don't know what experts he
has been talking to. The ones
II know don't talk that way.
They recognize the parents are
the most important influence in
their children's lives, but par
ents are certainly not to blame
for everything that goes wrong,

Dear Sir:
! am sure that thousands of
people share my views and wish
to highly compliment Mr.. How
ard Whitman.
It is high time that someone
was daring enough to give an ex-
pose and tear down the theory
that children must be uninhibited
and unrestrained in order to de-
velope normally. I often wonder
If this theory isn't in a great
measure responsible for Juvenile
Delinquency today.
The disrespect to parents and
elders, the uncouth and ill-be-
hayior at home and away from
home, their poor table manners,
their slurring remarks are nause-
ating, and it reflects on their
home environment and the neg
lect Of parents to properly train
them. Their arrogance and dis
torted minds is the result of i'm
patient parents who find it an
easy way out by giving them slow
doses of poison. There is no
such thing as discipline any
more.
AS they get older, they rebel
toward any counsel or advice
The home is no longer the home
that 1t once was where love, de-
votion and tenderness prevailed
Cooperation with teachers anc
members of the clergy is lacking
Instead of parents finding time
to devote to their children, it !!
spent on card parties and cock
tail parties.
Where children are disciplined
and corrected, the dividend
come high and 1t is more thar
worth the effort. I would like II
suggest that there should b
schools for parents to be disci
plined and their own ill-behavio
corrected. -.
We need more people like MI

to relieve their own feelings and
not many children are going to

MY father-he's a beaut! He's
Just a lowdown so-and-so. He
don't give a darn If ! live or
die" the boy said.
But let's start at the begin
ming. The boy-whom we1l call
Bud-was a 17-year-old wearing
a.faded purple jacket and gray
denim slacks. He stopped me as
I was entering the Hotel Roose-
welt in New Orleans and asked
for money to get something to
eat.
The boy had been on the bum
for three weeks, sleeping In flop
houses, washing dishes or pam
handling for money to buy food.
He had quit high school in Chi
cago and struck out for Miami
in hopes of striking it rich
as he put tin vacation land.
When this failed he started bum
ming and hitch-hiking with
nothing but the clothes on his
back. He had been washing his
clothes at night but his one pair
of. socks wouldn't take it any
longer; they gave out and he
had thrown them away the day
before.
Before I took him to a local
family agency to get him back
on the track Bud told me his
story.
Bitter About Father
His mother, he said, had died
three years ago-"She was the
only person who ever gave anaarn
foHHme." Buds father had di-
vofced her three years earlier
and had gone off and married
another woman. So bud was
kind of an orphan, staying with
grAndparents and hating life fol
the raw deal it had given him
running away now and then to
get revenge.
He was bitter when he talked
about his father. With a choked
and sullen voice he said, "They
oughtn't to let him walk out like
that. He's just for himself
looking for his own good times
What happens to me doesnt
matter. He never sends any
money, never even writes to fine
out II I'm alive"
