Child's Super-Parent, the
State, Must Aid
By Judge Ben B. Lindsey.
There is no child problem that is
not a parent problem and there is
no parent problem that f? not an eco
nomic and industrial problem. There
fore, the state cannot escape its re
sponsibility for the child any more
than can the parent. This responsi
bility I have sometimes called the
SUPER-PARENTHOOD OF THE
STATE. We find it exercised by the
State in the education of the child,
but it must be remembered that it
is a responsibility at first grudgingly
undertaken by the State and one fin
ally accepted after bitter opposition.
Free schools were once "ragged"
schools and our magnificent public
school system was originally looked
upon with more or less scorn as be
ing only for the poverty stricken
poor.
The state also assumes a very great
responsibility for the morality of the
child through its Childrens Courts.
Here it no longer treats the child
as a criminal, but as one of its own
children to be "aided, helped, edu
cated and redeemed."
The next great step which the state
is going to take in its responsibility
for the child is in seeing that no
child shall suffer just because of the
poverty, ignorance or certain other
faults of the natural parent, at least
where it can be reasonably prevent
ed. It is a matter of self-preserva-

A young artist unversed in financial matters
returned home from a business trip to find his
mother had invested her savings in a promotion
enterprise which offered a very tempting 9.
"It's no good," he said. ...'
"But you don't know about it yet," said the
mother.
"I know that any 'outside' investment
wherein anyone with email capital can buy
stock and which offers more than 6 has an el
ement of risk in it which you can ill afford," he
replied.
Two years later events forced the mother to
sell and after all the "special clauses", had
been observed, the interest she received on her
money was less than 214.

tion to the state itself to prevent the
tragedies of childhood that come
from such causes. But consistent
with this idea is the one I have al
ways equally advocated, namely, that
as a part or this very duty and func
tion of the state, is also its responsi
bilityby adequate legislation to
see to it that in the first instance the
parent should be made to perform,
or, in proper cases, should be assist
ed to perform these functions. Yet
if for any reason this is not possi
ble, then the state must do it. And
it must be done where possible in
the natural home of the child how
ever humble that home is.
Children Underfed.
From a survey of one school in a
typical American city, it was discov
ered that 30 per cent of the children
in that school had only one parent
generally the mother. This was due
to such causes, often unavoidable, as
death, insanity, separation, desertion
etc. In that same school, half of the
children were underfed and sadly
neglected as ,to health, largely be
cause of such conditions as poverty
and unemployment, even where both
parents were living. Thus in spite
of holding the parent to every pos
sible responsibility, it was impossible
to secure for one-half of the children
in that school the justice, I believe
them entitled to.
Here is where the child's super-
parent the state must step in. It
must do what the natural parent
could not do, or that the state failed
to make them do. The state must
provide, in such cases, the services
of doctors, food and health experts
including the food and other where
withals for health. It must be just
as free as education is free. Other
wise, of what use is education?
It is well for us to remember that
when the very life of the state is
imperiled by war, it has the right to
go into the homes and take the child
of 18 with or without the consent
of the parent and send him to the
battle fronts of the world, to lay
down his life, if need be, for the
state, and surely the child is taught
that it is a part of its duty, in such
an emergency, to give up his life, if

America today is suffering from
sore feet, its finance, its economic
status, its internal misunderstand

tweaking at their base and how long
it will be before we, as a nation, go
mad and do things we will regret,
may be a matter of speculation. To
remove some of these irritations is
a matter that is up to the individual
citizen more than to any organized
action on the part of bodies of citiz

or other purposes. One of the first
ways to create contentment, not
slothfulness, and ambition, a new

If a man is truly great, tear him

a goal to battle toward, and a reward
worth while at the end. If these
units can be made to do so their uni
ted efforts, although carried on inde
pendently, will surely react for a
greater prosperity for the whole and
thus relieve many of the irritations
already mentioned.
What of This Idea
With this as a general basis on
which to speculate it is not possible
that the mind of America can be re
moved from the ache of its feet if
concentrated on something else and
especially if that somehting else is a
curative agent that is working all the
time toward national, spiritual and
economic health.
What is man most proud of, most
eager to work for, most desirous to
retain once secured, most insistant
upon remaining fine and a center for
all his own hopes and ambitions as
well as those he entertains for his
family? The answer is, of course, the
home. The home may be a rented
flat, it is true, but it needs no deep
speculation or careful consideration
to see that the man who owns his own
home is far more deeply interested
in the welfare of his neighborhood,
his ward, city, state and country. It
is obvious then that it will be a good
thing for these various political and
geographical locations if he be made
to own a home.
Perhaps a Cure.
We have a period of depression at
present as all know. What more cre
ative of optimism, of an active labor
market, of a renewed faith and ambi
tion, of a quickened production,
could be suggested than a general
move to build homes by all the thous
ands of men who should be building
them, buying them, owning them, but
who for any one of many reasons are
now renters? If a national campaign
could be organized and launched with
the support and co-operation of all
civic boards of trade, real estate
boards, organizations of builders,
lumber dealers, brick manufacturers,
in fact every producing group that is
a creator of materials used in build
ing, there is little doubt but what
every newspaper in the country that
has the interestsof its city at heart,
and that means all papers, would
join in hearty co-operation.
An Endless Circle.
The amount of work thus created
would be limitless, the pocket books
opened uncountable, the trade stimu-

lation beyond calculation and the
very business boom thus created in
turn would make new individuals
capable and willing to build and buy
homes and thus go further along a
move that seems well fated to be an
endless circle of good.
The recent war brought home to
this nation as never before what a
home may mean and how dearly it
should be field, especially to those
who were over seas came the realiza
tion that the nations are built of the
homes and the greatest unity of pur
pose and unity of ambition rested
where homes were owned, not by the
few but by the many.
