The world crisis begins at home. The world's success begins at home.

2. The parents of the entire human race Must now look into its mirror and ask themselves

3. If they are themselves noble men and women of high character and intelligence, who are capable

4. Of creating another generation of noble men and women of high character and intelligence.

5. We look out upon this world crisis and see in it everything to cause us grief in the shortcomings of the new generation.

6. We weep at juvenile delinquency and crime. We decry insolence and indolence in school

7. We shudder at looseness of teen-age sex practices …

8. …an age which carries life upon its sleeve and a generation which has not inherited from its parental teachings the seriousness of facing a life, which must always be a hard climb for anyone who desires to reap its treasures of glory and abundance.

9. As we thus look out upon this fast disintegrating world of ever lowering intelligence, character, morality and dignity the one thing we fail to see in it is ourselves.

10. We fail to see that whatever it is, we made it by extending several generations of ourselves into our children.

11. When we decry immorality, crime and killings which we see in our children, we forget that our children see in us everything that they are.

12. Children see as much crime, immorality, licentiousness and killings in the parents’ generation as the parents’ generation sees in the teen-agers.

13. …They see infidelity, divorce and inharmony in their homes, and in the homes of their friends. Their whole entertainment world is saturated with adulation of the brutal and ugly qualities of physical man and very little that is beautiful and inspiring.

14. Many see everything but love in the grown-up world, and love is the most vital necessity to Children.
