Outside visitors looked at Mormon children to prove that polygamy was a vicious system. These visitors often reported that Mormon children were physically debilitated and morally depraved. The community responded to what it saw as idleness and disrespect and wanton destruction of property. Mormons saw the behavior of their children against 'a backdrop of millennial hopes. The efforts to organize programs as one means, along with improved schools, of combating juvenile misbehavior was not unique to the Latter-day Saints. Indeed, much of whatever improvement took place may have occured naturally as Utah society matured.'
