Poor Homes, No Control Blamed for Deli I q Y Reporting to the Ontario Legis-- lature a 16 per cent reduction in admissions to the Bowmanville Training School for Boys last year, Provincial Secretary George Dun-- l bar said yesterday that "poor homes \ --and no control" were the greatest _ _ factors contributing to delinquency. o Next leading factor was "fair home but no control," he added. His report reiterated what Pre-- mier George Drew told the Legis-- lature last week--that juvenile de-- linquency was, in reality, parental delinquency, and that eventual cure of juvenile problems must neces-- sarily rest in the home, though churches and other agencies were doing their part toward its solu--| tion. | Most From York : For the period ending March 31,} 1945, Carleton County, led the list of commitments with 37, outside of York County, which had 106. Of| admissions, 111 were attributed to| poor homes, and 102 to fair lmmesf § with no control. | Mentality of the pupils admitted| to Ontario training schools . was given as an 1.Q. of 90 to 100 for the greatest -- proportion of those ad-- mitted, with the next highest cate-- gory "dull--normal" with an 1.Q. of 80 to 90. Twenty--three of those ad-- mitted registered a superior 1Q of 110 or over. C. F. Neelands, Deputy Provincial| Becretary, in a foreword to the re-- port, said that many parents, "al-- though having the best intentions, just do not know how to hbe good parents." He expected that, though the training schools had been han-- dicapped by lack of staff, steady' progress could be expected in the future. '
