Leaving, he was late but reluctant to make a detour that would allow him to stop by for a half hour to see his mother. He had passed the detour and something turned him back. When he reached the old home, he found his mother in the kitchen. She looked up with tears in her eyes. She had just finished baking a batch of doughnuts.

Hoffman, director of the behavior clinic in Chicago, by the use of old fashioned wooden paddles utilized in courts for spanking youthful delinquents. Calling attention to the large percentage of criminals under the age of 21, some of them abnormally brutal and unrepentant, the psychiatrist asserted the belief that the alarming condition was due to lax or broken homes where paternal discipline had become a matter of indifference. Boys should be paddled publicly up to the age of 20, said the doctor, as the deferred punishment, together with the humiliation, would tend to curb that swaggering egotism which underlies most criminal careers, and may serve to bring to refractory lads a realization of the ultimate helplessness of those who array themselves against the law and public opinion. Whatever may be said with reference to the efficacy of the doctors prescription, it will be observed that he would go to the seat of trouble in the application of punishment. |
