If we are not in youth work because of our love of our
fellow men we have no business there at all. This burning love of humanity
always meets with response, though not always in the ways we most care for,
but nowadays as much youth work is ruined by too much restraint as by too
much exuberance. Fear to exert undue influence, fear to
assert
authority when necessary, conscientious scruples about this and that - are
all contributory factors. But young people want to know where they are and
they need the friendship of those who have confidence and faith. (Brew 1957:
112-3)
