Curling Delinquency

The age we live in has
many new and frightening
aspects, but none is more
disturbing than the state of
mind Of many of our young
people. our So-called juvenile
delinquents. They are a
symptom of a sickness in our
society, which if unchecked
will spread until life for nor
NAL people becomes a night
mare.
It is difficult to say just
who the delinquents are
the youngsters, their parents,
their teachers or our society
in general, but one thing
seems certain: There is a
disastrous force bottled up
in these youngsters, a force
so primitive and barbarous
that it will rock our civiliza-
ton unless we find out what
it is and deal with it.
/ am not a psychiatrist.
merely a parent who has
tried hard to digest all the
conflicting advice printed
for the aid of parents in
these times. I have. also tried
to be observant and to learn
from my children as well as
to teach them the things
they should know. I noticed
many years ago that when
my children were between
the ages of one and four,
there were times when they
would whine pettishly for
no apparent reason and all
my efforts to discover and
alleviate the causes of these
spells came to nought. FL
nally, when my patience
gave out and I eth r
spanked them or banished
them to their room, they
would come out of it and
soon be their old happy
selves again, but not until
after a good. thoroughly re.
lieving cry. So much for the
argument against spanking
or punishment. Some psy-
biologists say we are born
with feelings of guilt and
that we desire to be punished
at times.
Another thought that comes
to mind is the old custom
of weekly assemblies at
school, when the principal
gave an inspirational address.
This may or may not have
been very inspiring at times
but it did afford an oppor-
tunity for moral leadership.
Our children do not have
many assemblies. mostly pep
rallies and sports events.
would like, finally, to sug-
gest that teachers who have
especially difficult children
might try an experiment.
weekly or monthly grippe ses-
sion at which the pupils write
down their gripeS and hand
them in unsigned. The teach
err could then lead a discus
sion at which the most seri-
our gripes could be brought
out into the open. In this
way the pressure on the in
dividual youngster would be
lessened and he might find
others shared his feelings
which would diminish his
fears and uncertainties. This
might increase the sound and
lessen the fury. G. G.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL

Temp Jones. who is always
worrying about something,
says he has noticed a lack of
common courtesy in daily
life.
People, he says. simply
don't speak to each other as
they used to do.
They seem to hate to use
their voices by intoning a
good morning" when they
pass.
Nowadays, he insists, too
many are satisfied with rails
ing the hand in greeting, or
maybe nodding the head
A nod or a wave may be
all right. as far as it goes,
certainly better than Moth
ing, but it will never re-
place the good morning" or
good afternoon" in courtesy
in the everyday.
X X 4 X
The worst thing, according
to Jones, is that many places
have come to specialize in a
lack of greeting.
The worst instance, ac-
cording to our informant,
was the place where two as
sociates met and each greet
ed the other.
When they passed again,
within the hour, the more
friendly of the two said
Good morning" again.
II spoke to you once"
Snarled the other.
That is carrying it pretty
far. In most cases, they will
just not look at each other.
The weight of affairs
That is the excuse. but the
question remains: Is it a good
excuse? There are excuses
and excuses. some are good,
some are bad.

The CHEEKY greeting prob
ably brings out as we'll as
anything else whether a per-
son can become used to the
usual.
1t is only when those with
few real interests meet often
that they become bored with
speaking. They may work at
the same place, and have the
same sort of job. but if their
true and natural interests are
not the same, they tend in
time to pass without speak
ing.
Thus two casual acquaint-
ances in a neighborhood will
speak. then find the carrying
on of the greeting a hard
thing. t
Why is that?
Why should a normal
courtesy become boring?
Perhaps it is because all
Americans are becoming
