The Child And What Is Right And Wrong
LONDON, MAY 3.., "The modern child finds it hardeU to tell what is right and what isx wrong and that might lead it to douet whether there is any ahsolute' distinction hetween the two," said the Barl of Feversham, president of the i\l ational Association pf Prohation 01ficers, when addressing the annual conference of the association at Scarborough. Lord Feversham said that in sweep ing away the Victorian outlook, the modern world had replaced the firrn footing on which Victorian beliefs were founded, by a "showy, seductive abun^ance of films, cars, adver tisements and commercialism. The single act that would do most to safeguard the hasic rights of children — security and happihess — would be to train all adolescents in parenthood so that their own future would be happier and they would become hetfer citizens.'
