YOUTH DELINQUENCY
Sir,—l wonder if mothers realise how much they could help to guide their children into wholesome path* by making it possible for them to be at Bible class, scout, cub or other youthful activities, which thrive on regular attendance, not a casual • very - good-of-me-to-bevhere-at-all ” attitude. So many mothers make the effort to see that toddlers get to »Sunday kindergarten (and off their hands!) but do not encourage these same children in later, far more important. years, to get up early enough on Sundays or to attend loyally. Any family outing or postponable household chore takes precedence. “Don’t go if you don’t want to, dear,” are not the words of a mature parent. It is because parents of other generations found it of supreme importance that their youngsters should hear expositions of the Ten Comandments that family life was stable.—Yours, etc, YOUTH WORKER. June 11, 1956.
