Very much worth while for the same reason that wholesome recreation is

worth while. Also there is a constructive approach to juveniles who might
tend to be delinquent, attendance at the pleasant amusement center gives

the chaperon and the Y.M.C.A. General Secretary and the Women's Director

a chance to do creative personality work, Young people might be and meet
friends on a totally natural basis. Good social manners on the part of
juveniles who did not have them are one of the first evidences of social
usefulness of Teen Town program, While it. is too early to make any

statement as to juvenile delinquency, the fact remains that Stchison has

no appreciative increase in juvenile delinquency and that the Probate Judge
noted a decrease in ealls concerning young girls being on the streets at
nights, Concerning the interference with more constructive programs such as .
scouts, studies, student plays, and so on, persons who have more constructive
activities do not come to Teen Town. In so far as it can be observed, Teen
Town does not interfere with other creative programs.
