Whittier on Amusements and Moral Reform
A conservative view argues for balanced guidance rather than strict repression of youth recreation. It advocates opening arts, science, nature study, libraries, debates, and wholesome sports under parental authority to promote temperance and moral health. It warns against natural laws of mind and matter being ignored and stresses law and order in guiding youth.
