The bridegroom attended John Herron Art Institute. the reason why so many mothers fail in their duty to their chil dren is not because of their own inertness, indifference, or unwillingness to sacrifice themselves to their youngsters, but because they are faced with a task that they have neither the ability nor strength to perform. I have a letter from one of these mothers who has many chil dren and little money. She says: "We mothers are not entirely to blame for juvenile delinquency, We are so heavily overburdened with household tasks, plus the job of giving the children the at tention they need, that we are physically and mentally worn-out.

As a result, the children suffer from our short tempers. haven't had a day off since my eldest child was born. "I LIVE IN A COLD climate where the winters are long and small children are always under foot. They are mischievous, noisy and quarrelsome. I am so exhausted that by the time the older children come home from school, I am in no mood to listen patiently and sympathetically to their problems, as a mother should do.

"And because we are so overworked, we are inclined to neglect our own health and general appearance. Nervous strain-shows on our faces, as well as in our actions and tempers, and inci-dently contributes to the high divorce rate as well as to the juvenile delinquency problem. "THE ONLY SOLUTION of this problem is public nurseries for children between three and six years of age. The mothers would be glad to pay whatever they could afford, but it would average about a dollar a day in our community including transportation. I cannot pay this.

Neither can the average parents. But could any public money be better spent than in giving us worn-out and exhausted mothers a new deal so that we could be better able to do our duty by our children? In the long run it would be cheaper to prevent delinquency than to cure it." I call the attention of everyone who reads this column to this woman's letter. It is a cry for help that should not go unheeded. For there is a limit to human endurance. Many a It's An Idea!

Joan Miller's Dreamy Plaid WHEN WE lay the blame for juvenile delinquency mothers, we are both right and wrong.

We are right in thinkirtg that mothers are the formative influence in children's lives, and that if they are brought up in a happy home where they have love, security and wise guidance there is small danger of their ever going wrong. It is Mother's hand that shapes the clay, and if "Mother is on her job, she turns out the kind of men and women who are a blessing to the world. But if Mother is an unprincipled woman, she brings up children who become jail birds. If she is weak, frivolous, pleasure-mad and spends her time at taverns, bars and dance halls, her children follow the same pattern of life that she has set and they are old in sin before they are old in years. They have never had a home that even a pig would want to live in.

They have been taught neither manners nor morals, nor given any standards of decent conduct, and so they inevitably become what their mother has made them, child criminals. BUT THERE is another phase to this juvenile delinquency problem that we have not taken sufficiently into account. It is that Mich. With Miss Mary Johnson and Sylvester Johnson Jr. were Mr.
