Homelessness 195
sent social and club life take up the time of
parents, we come to the conclusion I began
with, that domestic life is more and more on
the decline.
The reforms that must be demanded from
the schools in order to restore the children to
the home cannot be discussed now, since it is
my intention to deal here only with those mat-
ters which must be reformed by the family
itself, if reforms at school are to really benefit
the young.
Reforms of this kind have been made in
schools but mothers complain that children
have too little work at home or too few hours
at school; that they, the mothers, absolutely
do not know how they can keep the children
occupied in so much free time.
What may justly be considered the great
progress in the family life of the present day,
the confidential intercourse between parents
and children, has not taken an entirely right
direction. The result has been that children
have been permitted to behave like grown
people, sharing the habits and pleasures of
their parents, or that the parents have ceased
to live their own life. In neither of these two
ways can a deep and sound relation between
children and parents be produced.
