 Some time ago the warden of a state penitentiary declared: "Trying to cure crime by curing the criminal in a penitentiary is a waste of time. It can't be done. Many people think that the problem of crime rests with wardens, courts, the laws, and so on. It doesn't. The real question ... starts in the home. The old-fashioned American home, with its good teachings, is gone... The average home now is only a boarding-place for disobedient children." 
  There is tragic truth in these burning words. But, thank God! There are yet homes where discipline and order are maintained. Anarchy in the home means anarchy in the church and the state. Gordon Hurlbutt, 1925
