Mount Pleasant News (Newspaper) - February 21, 1958, Mount Pleasant, Iowa The it. Pleasant news warmer these Days by George e. Sokthry Tiu teen agers the real news of the Day is our children. Jordan and Iraq Nasser and Yemen. Khrushchev and Zhukov May make the headlines but the gang vats and the Duck Tail Hail Dos for boys and the Sloppy silos lot girls and other manifestations of rebellious youth Are our immediate problem. Why Young people organize into gangs they always did. Whether you Call them gangs groups cliques teams. The name does not change the fact that children not like be alone unless tune is something wrong with them. There is warmth and Security in group play and group associations. Also children like things. They dislike doing nothing. Organize a school band and there in a combination of being in a crowd and coing something. Organize a debating club a glee club any kind of group with something and youngsters will flock it particularly if they can run the show themselves an adult adviser or consultant or Moderator or whatever you Call him has careful rot become a papa the boys and girls they have enough of papa at Home. The gangs of a City like new York Are brilliantly organized. They ate attempts at self government. They Are protected by self imposed discipline and tile boys and girls make an Ideal of personal physical heroism they could become socially useful organizations if properly directed. Children Are lacking in restraints they say More than they mean they far. As the expression is. They could be diverted into Fine play organizations if there were proper guidance and proper facilities. I say this from experience because in my childhood we in the East Side of new Yolk went through exactly the same situations that now face the negro and per it rican children of new York.

The Public school cannot even recognize that it faces a racial problem without having All the bleeding heart had pressure groups fighting against acknowledging a racial discrimination which is real because it exists just As religious discrimination is real wherever it exists. The teen age gangs that Are discussed with much fear in the Large cities Are mainly gangs of negro and puerto rican children. However the Basic problem is not racial but the broken Home.

This is particularly when visiting time comes and the child has spend a number of Days specified by a court with another set of parents. A different environment. The child makes comparisons Mast of which end up As unfavourable All parents. A child does not need be poor feel friendless. The poor in fact me better off than the Rich because they gang up and if the gang does not in for Belion or marijuana and does not get into murderous fights they can have fun without going jail. The Rich kid is protected by artificial devices such As governesses nurses boarding schools none of which answer the longing for love be wanted i he included it is easy say that the kid is a Rotten egg.

It is a problem which is not easy approach almost impossible solve.
