WHAT SHALL WE DO WITH NAUGHTY CHILDREN?
SIR,—May I suggest to the psychiatrists, psycholo- gists, magistrates, committeemen and others who continually deplore the misdeeds of 'modern' child- ren and young men and women that these are largely but a reflection of the behaviour of the grown-ups. When a nation is riddled with critnc and violence, sustains a Government which has little or no sense of values and is ready with Big Business to destroy any beauty or amenity which may interfere with profit and where every Sunday millions of news- papers arc sold which specialise in pornography, perversities and the unhappy failure of marriages, it can only be expected that many of our boys and girls will follow suit. The remedy is plain though not so easy; which is that the grown-ups mend their manners and learn how to live rationally and decently.—Yours faithfully,
Port way, Wells
