HOME DISCIPLINE THE . NEED


“SPARE the rod and spoil the child” they used to say. Then, as psychiatric knowledge increased, we were told that this was all wrong. We ought to try kindness and understanding. The suppression of instincts was harmful; we should allow youngsters to let off steam, work off their destructive impulses, get rid of their inhibitions, and they would all grow up into balanced, mature human beings. But these liberal methods have been tried long enough


for the results to be showing, and they are not encour­ aging. The appalling increase in vandalism is one of the major social problems of our time. Every day we hear examples of hooliganism and destruction, and the nature of the damage being done is such that it can no longer be classed as the work of high spirited youngsters. It is vicious and vile. This week we publish details of the damage done at

the Castle, which can only be the work of lawless louts, and recently complaints were made about the damage done by sub-teenagers to the tennis pavilion and sur­ rounding property at Clitheroe Cricket Club, which was so serious that the tennis section was in danger of having to close. It seems almost incredible that youngsters should be able to get into such a position of power, which is what it really amounts to.

been experienced in every generation, but never before has there been such evidence of evil intent as there is today. Apparently some youngsters believe they can smash up everything they come across. They carry transistor radios which blare out hideous noises, and use language in the street that is enough to shock hard- boiled ex-soldiers, let alone sensitive old ladies. Some­ times die offenders are mere wisps of girls, who may be of tender age but in every other respect seem as lough as gangsters’ molls. In die old days, boys who got out of line would get


Youthful exuberance is a natural condition and has


a cuff from any passing adult, and girls would be scared to death at the threat of a complaint to their teachers or parents. Now some of our wild youngsters are no more scared of their teacher than they are of the boy next door, and they have little respect for their parents, who are too often content to get their offspring out of the house so that they can be left in peace to watch


television. There was a time when, if a youngster went home


and revealed that he had been thumped by his teacher for a misdemeanour, or using cheek, he would get another from father for good measure. Two thumps, as it were, for the price of one. Today, if a youngster got a hiding from his teacher, the odds are that a threat of prosecution would quickly come from the parents.


Too liberal? f'


Have wc gone too far along this freedom road? Have wc taken off too many brakes and de-restricted


too many zones of personal behaviour? It was interesting to read last week of the views of


Dr. Eric M. Buechse, warden of Wilkinson House, a Blackburn home for problem children. He doesn’t believe in corporal punishment and smoking is per­ mitted in the television lounge to children over the age


of seven. One’s first reaction must be “How ridiculous can we


get? Yet with these particular children it may possibly be the wisest course. Corporal punishment—


rin-such an


institution—could embitter rather than cure a delin­ quent child, and if youngsters are determined to smoke it is better for them to do so in the open—thus robbing the practice of “forbidden fruit” glamour—than to encourage them to do it, as they certainly will, furtively. The wisdom or otherwise of such an attitude^ is still


arguable, but it would certainly be wrong if it were indicative of a aeneral do-as-you-please system, which wc hope it is not. It is a common mistake tor people to equate tolerant supervision with a complete lack of control, but this is not necessarily, so, and it probably


isn’t in this instance. The root cause
