SPOILT CHILDREN
The effects of lax parental control •in regard to wayward children is referred to iby the superintendent of the Presbyterian Social Service Association, the Rev. F. R. Jeffreys, in his annual report on the association's work. "One is often forced to the conclusion," says Mr Jeffreys, "that when the young folks go astray the blame is misapplied, for L he. offenders have not had that kindly guidance and discipline which is the birthright of every child. I have often wished that some parents could be made to realise that our criminal population, our prison and reformatory inmates, are to a great extent composed of spoilt children."
