NATIONAL ADVERTISING REPRESENTATIVES — FROST, LANDIS & KOHN CHICAG OUR YOUNG PEOPLE While admitting that “the maze of conflicting standards, impulses and inter- ests” of the present day are at times be- wildering to the younger generation, Miss Kathrine Lenroot of the Children’s Bureau declares that on the whole children are no | worse than their parents were during child- hood. She calls attention to the new agencies for steadying boys and girls of the teen age, mentioning the Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts and Campfire Girls, each of which has a beneficial influence. Miss Lenroot believes that more com- forts of life, better educational oppor- tunities, greater frankness in facing prob- lems of sex, and other conditions of the present furnish a better basis for character development than was known by previous generations. If cities and communities where statistics are available there has been a marked falling off in juvenile delinquency during the past ten years, and there has been no increase in the more serious of- fenses, if population be considered. sae “Daily Cross- ACROSS 1, Exhaust 4.
