Excerpt from Juvenile Delinquency Man is a bundle of antinomies! On the one hand he is selfish, egotistical and ambitions: on the other hand he is careless and thoughtless of self, devoid of foresight and impractical. He spends his time accumulating materials with which to be happy in his old age; and is so careless of his health that he does not live to enjoy his acquisitions. He is patriotic, social and planful for the future: but he utterly ignores much upon which the future welfare of his country and his descendants depends. He sacrifices everything in a great war to make the world safe for democracy and neglects the internal conditions which if uncorrected will eventually make democracy impossible. He slaves that his children may have education and wealth but he takes no precautions to ensure that the world in which his children will live shall be such that they can enjoy their education and their wealth.
