Summary	Although community conditions are always important in the lives of growing boys and girls they are especially deserving of attention at present. If we may judge from the experience of the United States during the last World War, the days ahead of us are likely to prove unsettling to some of out boys and girls. The behavior of some will reflect their disturbance. The quickened tempo of life and new stresses and strains may well add to what we may think of as problems more or less normal to childhood development and adolescence. We must meet to the fullest extent possible the needs of individual children in the home and at school, and must see to it that conditions in the community are those which offer opportunity for continuing wholesome development, that its influences are those which build up rather than tear down character... City and country children alike will feel the urge to action that comes with the emotional stress and strain of war and danger. Unless they have understanding and wise guidance from adults some youths will try to express their patriotism in unwise or unacceptable ways...-- p. [3].
