“I appreciate STONY BROOK’S Scholarship Aid” says Wallace Glenn Jamison Stony Brook, '62— Westminster, '66 The School ia operated not for profit but to render service in the field of Christian edu cation. Because of endowjnent income and the annual contributions of generous friends, the School is able to maintain a tuition rate lower than that of most schools in its class. Each year a large amount of scholarship aid is granted on evidence of the character, abil ity and earnest purpose of the applicant, and the financial need. While this policy applies especially to sons of ministers, missionaries, and other Christian workers, it is by no means limited to such boys. Christian Education at Stony Brook has real meaning. The atmosphere is wholesome without being pious. Boys are urged to live their lives in accordance with the will of God as set forth in Scripture. Bible Study is a major subject and is required of all students throughout the entire course. By maintaining a balance between reli gious, academic, and recreational activities, the School aims at a harmony of ■ purpose. By intelligent applica nt tion of this Christian program, in I both administration and teach- [E ing, Stony Brook is making a dis- tinctive contribution to American STUDY AT HOME Recommended by evangelicals as America's finest training school for ministers and church workers.

BY DR. SAMUEL H. SUTHERLAND PRESIDENT, THE BIBLE INSTITUTE OF LOS ANGELES, INC.
The Real Delinquency During the month of March, there appeared in one of the Los Angeles metropolitan newspapers a series of three articles deal ing with the alarming rise of teenage drinking in the Los Angeles area. The writer presented a very forthright and penetrating ex pose of this deplorable condition and pinpointed some of the under lying causes for this trend. It is all a part of the general breakdown of morality that is apparent on every hand, in the home, in the school, in the church, in the individual life as well as in the over-all community life of our populace. This reporter pointed out the fact that just a year ago, two thousand teenagers swarmed to a popular Hollywood night spot to celebrate their high school gradu ation—like adults. "Before the night was over, 300 of them were drunk, another 300 were drinking. This was no gathering of juve nile delinquents , . . they came from eight schools in a respectable middle-class section of the county.” The fact was emphasized that "the prom was sponsored by the P.T.A., so the young people wouldn’t get into trouble on graduation night. It was supervised by three police women, five policemen, two club security officers and adult chaperones.” Even though the. youngsters were warned beforehand that drinking would not be tolerated, bottles and flasks were to be found everywhere and it was observed that "most of the liquor was secreted on the girls.” And the officials stated that “after the last teenager had straggled home, officers took a final look around and found the place littered with empty bottles.” During the course of the occasion it was noted that "What wasn’t nailed down was stolen . . . what couldn’t be stolen was broken. A score of fights were nipped before they could blossom into riots. Many who weren’t fighting were necking. Most of the seating space was occupied by young couples in clinches.” One of the tragedies is that this sort of thing is looked upon quite light-heartedly by so many parents and is actually condoned as being merely a part of the "growing-up process” and merely "one phase of sowing wild oats.” However, the authorities who have to cope with this increasing problem are not in the least amused. "Police estimate that a third of all teenage crimes are committed by youngsters whose inhibitions are lowered and whose judgment is THE KING'S BUSINESS
