The result is a harvest of juvenile delinquency, of brazen standards of personal conduct and a general let-down in the quality of youthful ideas. No religious training of youth is bad enough, but when to this is added the anti-religious training to which young men and women are subjected in many of our secular colleges and universities the destruction of youth ful ideas is complete. In many our youth are being taught that the criminal is in no way re sponsible for his crime, that the ordinary citizen has not the slightest shred of freedom in his acts, that everything is predestined by heredity. Free will is pictured as a delusion, responsibility as non-existent. conscience as a lie. What wonder that youthful conduct and morals are causing concern."
