Delinquent Boy Problem Is Also “Dad” Problem Continental Club Told Home Influences Back of Most Youths Who Go Wrong. , "If you play golf on Sunday morn ing you hav* no right to expect that your boy will go to Sunday school.” W. J. Kirkbrlde of Lincoln told mem bers of the Continental Nub at Fri day luncheon at Hotel Fontenelle. "We muat have a conetructlve pro JfWun for our boys," he added, "and tljds program muat connect up with home, school and church. T>ad's lifoy' is entitled to some of his father's thus no matter how tnuch business he has. “We need boys that ars fit for our girls to associate with. I do not agree with those who contend that the boys today are worse than years ago. We mpet remember there are more boys today in this country and there are mope temptations and more’laws. T'lt Is not so much of a boy prob lem today as It Is a dad problem. The neglected boy causes most of the trouble. A Lincoln judge told me that back of nearly every delinquent boy there wan domestic complex. Many delinquent boys are from homes of plenty. "I had a. boy paroled to ms and I '(vent to Kansas to Investigate his horns conditions. I found that his father had one of the finest farms in, , the Republican river country. Aftfir the mother’s death the fsther raised the hoy on chess and ancient history. At 15 the boy was an ex pert these plsyer. versed In ancient history, an agnostic and a gambler of unusual ability. He could shake a mean pair of dice and at high school he won ell of the money of the other bo.vs. We got this boy straightened out after a period of years."

That is. If you are ordinarily polite. If you are not quit* so polite, you ran say it in seven syllables, thus “Anata ikimasu." And a cooley-'will express the same thus: “Kimi iku.” Thus did Ruby I,. Anderson, Gnth enherg (Neb.I girl missionary to Japan, elucidate some of the idiosyncrasies of the language. She is a guest at the horn* of Mr. and Mrs. M. D. Rhoades, 140 Xorth Forty-second street, and will sail from San Francisco, April 4, to return to the Baptist school in Yokohama, where she teaches. She has been attending school in Boston after six years in Japan. “Besides, the language of conversa tion is different from that which is written,” she continued. ‘‘And the conversation of men contains many words never used by women. A man will say 'boku' for 'F and 'kimi' for ‘you.’ A woman never uses those words. "The ordinary first person pronoun in Japanese is 'watukushiwa'.'' Which further shows that Japanese is not a very "snappy” language. The young missionary declare* the United Stales treated Japan shame fully in passing the exclusion act. "All Japan asked was citizenship for 142 persons a year.” Miss Anderson will give a program of readings in the First Baptist church tonight and will speak there Sunday morning. -« 11 1 K Ruby Ij.
