METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH, SOUTH
Moorefield
A number of cities and towns are passing curfew laws, requiring all unattended children to be off the streets at night after nine or nine-thirty o'clock. A good many other cities and towns not having these laws ought to have them.
This has been made necessary because so many parents are indifferent or careless as to the whereabouts and doings of their children.
Anyone who brings children into the world ought to be interested enough in them to give them some training.
They need more training than they get in streets and alleys after night, and furthermore they need training of a different sort.
Parents, where are your children and what are they doing?
