Police Matron Declares Strict
Home Training Necessary to
Save Hundreds.
Mrs. Mary Bohnefeld, police matron,
declared today that conditions in At
lanta are more perilous to the young
girls of the city than they have been in
years, and urged Immediate action to
remedy them.
“The problem of the young girl is the
greatest and most important confront
ing Atlanta today," said Mrs. Bohne
feld. “The public thoroughfares of the
city are snares for hundreds and it is
high time public officials were giving
this matter their attention."
Mrs. Bohnefeld declared strict home
training was the great, fundamental
necessity at this moment.
Mrs. Bohnefeld gave expression to her
opinions apropos of the address Sun
day of Evangelist Bob Jones, who se
verely denounced the modern “deco
rated” woman and pleaded for a revo
lution of sentiment among womankind.
Advocates Stats Home.
Mrs. Bohnefeld says her experience
has made her a staunch advocate of a
> state home for girls. Such a home, she
believes, is preferable to private insti
tutions, and could easily be made self
sustaining and of great good.
As to the situation In Atlanta. Mrs.
Bohnefeld said:
“The parents in Atlanta must be un
aware nf the dangers that beset their
young daughters on every hand, else
they would be more energetic in pro
tecting them. I am in a position to
gain information that would shock the
whole city were it all known. The peo
ple of Atlanta generally are ignorant
of what is really going on here. The
situation is alarming and is getting
worse. If the true situation were
known Atlanta parents would tremble
for the safety of their daughters.
"Our greatest need along this line
right now is enlightenment of the home
and stricter home training for young
girls. If girls were given the proper
instructions by parents in the homes
there -would not be so much of this
tramping of the streets in immodest
dresses, highly painted faces. and the
keeping of late hours.
Parents to Blame, She Says.
, “First and foremost, parents are to
blame. They allow their girls to rule
them and do as they please, recklessly
choosing their own companions, until
finally the'- awake to the true horror of
it. all—but too late.
“The preachers of the city should
wage a campaign on the homes. If
we’ll begin there and first correct the
parents, I’m satisfied conditions will be
immediately remedied. I have come in
contact with hundreds of girls whose
lack of proper home training have led
them into the police station, and my
experience has caused me to regard this
girl problem as the greatest and most
important -we face today.”
