The arrest this week of two of our young lads fur alleged house-breaking calls attention to the question of pub- lic morals in our town. . For some time past those in touch with conc"!- tions have marked a growing laxnrss i» discipline and a disregard or con- tempt for moral restraint that uufii;;-, ill for the future, particularly of our young people. Evil practises, if tin- checked, are infectious, and is^iread like a festering sore to-others who may not be so hiclined, but, as in thi.; case, are easily 1g:1. It is to be hopjd that a sulutory lesson may be maao of any cases of moral delinquency before it become general, f(5r it ii^ much easier to extinguish an incipient blaze than to quell a conflagration. Parents particularly should be awak- ened to a sense of their responsibility. Children are not jriven us simply to clothe and feed, and, when old enough, to chore for us; but to teach, to train, to counsel and guide ifor time and eternity. It is a solemn responsibil- ity, with abundant rewards when duty is faitht'ully performed, but with dis- astrt^iiir- consequences both here . and here. ' ""r if negleated. The parent who i.r.':oncernedly allows his child away 'r:im his care, to get what train- ing ho can pick up on the street is recreant to his trust and unworthy of the honor of parenthood. â€" Stayner Sun.
