Jewish children, I am told, at any rate Jewish children

in the East End of London, are better brought up than non-Jewish, and juvenile crime is diminishing among the Jews while it is increasing elsewhere. Reason ? ' Jewish mothers don't go out to work, but stay at home and look after their children. Women's work, no doubt, is needed in many industries, particularly now, but is there justification for securing it at the children's expense. A nice question for,sociologists with large views.
