THE HOME CIRCLE
Why Is It Today We Seldom See a Complete Home Circle Like This?
Why is father out at lodge or down town?
Why is mother also out?
Why is sister downtown, too, walking with her chum?
And why, oh, why is little brother playing on the streets?
Why are some families' home simply a place to eat and sleep?
Behind the closed doors of their house generally exist few means of education and amusement.
If the children do go wrong the parents blame each other and wildly try to right this wrong by the means they should have employed when the children were small and their minds still receptive to home influence.
We suggest that you do today these things which it may be too late to do tomorrow.
