You will also have a chance To meeT your children's Teachers and Tell Them oT Johnny's and Mary's plighT. The TuTure generaTion oT America leT iT be known ThaT iT Too had someThing To say on one oT our greaT warTime problems. The problem was ThaT oT Juvenile Delinquency and iT was aT The May I6Th meeTing oT The ParenTs' AssociaTion oT Niles J. H. S. ThaT They leT Their views be known. ' In all. There were TwenTy young Americans who were going To speak ThaT nighT. As The presidenT oT The l?arenTs' AssociaTion inTroduced Miss WaTers a wave oT nervous exciTemenT ran Through The children Tor They knew ThaT Their Turn would be nexT. - ATTer her s eech Miss WaTers began inTroducing The speakers. One by one The boys -and girl? mounTed The sTeps ThaT lead To The sTage. Each in Turn sTood beTore The microphone and gave his or her views on The problem oT juvenile delinquency. The parenTs l believe were very surprised and pleased To hear The children speak inTelligenTly and easily. Tor iT was obvious ThaT all The speeches were well prepared and showed wide ThoughT on The subiecT. 4The children generally agreed ThaT in mosT cases iT was The arenTs who were To blame iT Their children become delinquenT. There was one slighT conTro- versy however. One speaker declared ThaT all children were good and anoTher persisTed ThaT all children were bad. DisagreemenTs like This one I believe show ThaT American youTh is wide awake and has iTs own views on The subiecT. Though many parenTs did noT aTTend. iT was indeed acpleasure To noTe The courTesy and graciousness wiTh which The speakers were accepTe by all Those presenT. ATTer The speeches The children were hearTily Thanked by all Those presenT who included our principal. Mr. Flaum, and his wiTe. Miss WaTers. many members oT The TaculTy, and The parenTs.
