ABSTRACT
The growing power and independence of adolescents and their strong social impulses provide opportunities for co-operation and service. Recreational institutes, most clubs, and some junior organizations do not accept children under the age of 14 years, so the first assessment can be made for children 14-16 still at school. The teacher link between children and organization gives rise to a feeling of fellowship and there is great value to be found in such feeling as it increases the children’s respect for the teachers and widens the teachers’ visions of the children. The responsibility of the school or organization does not end when the children leave school; the difference between children throwing in jobs at the first difficulties and children accepting orders and settling to the task may depend upon the advice given by adults providing that the adults are impartial.
