I missed this one yesterday. 50 years ahead of James Dobson...
"The family... is being pushed more and more into the background... by undue encroachments of the community and of the state. Modern life is tending more and more toward the contraction of the sphere of parental control and parental influence. The choice of schools is being placed under the power of the state; the 'community' is seizing hold of recreation and of social activities.... very possibly [these community activities] are only trying to fill a void which even apart from them had already appeared" (154).
