S pecia lize
In the past several weeks our daily newspapers have
been filled with stories concerning juvenile delinquency.
It would be interesting to know how many of the per
sons involved have now, or will obtain in the future, a
high school education. I would venture to say that two-
thirds or more have less than ten years of formal school
ing. Primarily this is due to the fault of the parents of
those involved. They are the guilty persons not the
child. I know that this may cause a storm of protests
from parents but let’s face it. We as parents are too busy
making a living and striving to give our children more
than what we had. We seem to believe that spending
money, fine clothes, nice homes and better surround
ings will in themselves give our children a proper per
spective and greater incentive to do what our society
considers right. We fail to realize that basic teachings
in everyday living are the proper foundation for sound
character. We send our children to Sunday school on
Sundays and forget about their religious teaching the
following Monday. Church is becoming a place of social
gathering for our children rather than a place for moral
and religious teaching. We ridicule the church, criticize
the minister to, or in front of, our children, yet expect
them to respect that which we criticize.
We send our children to school expecting the teach
ers to teach and discipline them. At the same time we are
prone to criticize them when they fail to control their
unruly actions, but it is we who sanction our children
in their criticism of what our children believe is the harsh
discipline of their tcnchers. Yes, the school is becoming
a day nursery for parents who do not wish the respon
sibility of raising their children. Mind you, this does not
mean that parents do not love their children, but rather
as basic neglect on some of the fundamental rearing of
children
Education begins early. It begins in the home long
before the child attends any school. Not so much through
actual teaching, though this may be helpful, but rather
I believe by instilling in the child a desire for learning.
By teaching him a profound respect for wisdom and the
marvelous avenues open to those who possess it. Teach
him not only the monetary values that an education can
