beast learn how to write by hand.
make sure he does not drink
f1uoridated water. put clothes on
all nude statues he might see
and tell him right of:
mo, son, there is no Santa
Claus"
This melange of advice comes
from serious-minded people
not experts, necessarily, but cit
liens sufficiently interested in
juvenile delinquency to write
suggestions to Congress.
The cures" were sifted from
the thousands of letters received
by CongresSmen who for the past
several years have been inves-
tigating the causes of delin-
quency and possible preventive
measures that can be taken by
congressional action. Some Sc
Irious conclusions will be reported
iby the investigating committees
within the next week. Some citi-
zens are sure they have the
answer already.
Is Second ''R" TO Blame?
One man from Brooklyn stated
fatty: Handwriting is the cause
of juvenile delinquency and
should be abolished" He noted
that four institutions, the
church. the home, the State and
the schools. look after children.
1.-THE weak point is the
schools" he wrote, land the pin
point is handwriting, which is
useless, lowers the morale of the
children. causes a truancy and
its consequences--juvenile de-
llinquency."
Fluoridation is the cause. ac-
cording to a writer from Illinois
He included a table of statistics
purporting to show that de-
linquency increased in each To-
cality as soon as flourides were
added to the water supply to
help prevent tooth decay.
Another correspondent put the
blame on popcorn. Children, she
said, eat popcorn instead Of pea
nuts, which have a higher pro-
tein content. and that makes
them delinquents. Another writer
had a similar idea on a grander
scale. Delinquency. he said, is
caused by the American diet,
which is too heavy in carbohy-
drates and too lean on protein.
Educators at Fault?
From Pennsylvania came the
conclusion that delinquency was
caused by progressive education.
which teaches that truth is a
relative. not an absolute, thing :"
"A writer from Tennessee, how
ever. said it resulted from too
strict teachers and too many
hours a day in the classroom"
A Missouri constituent found
the cause in the myth OF Santa
Claus" Children. he said, grow

idea spreads out over the rest

The employer retains him only
If his work is satisfactory. At the
end of each period the employer
rates the students performance on

The cooperative plan does not
make it possible for the student to
work his way through college. But
he can usually support himself on
the job and save a share of the
expense he meets during school
periods.
The real aim in cooperative
schools is broadened education. The
student gets work experience. and
