One experiment was performed in
which a thermometer was placed in-
side a het worn by a man, and kept
there. When the outside tempera-
ture was 77 degrees Fahrenheit, the
thermometer inside the hat was 90,
and when the outside temperature
rose to 90 at noon, it was 108 inside
the hat. In the e' ening, with an
outside temperature of 68, it was
88 inside the hat. A motor cap

A LITTLE MORE COURTESY
In a recent issue of a widely read
magazine ,attention is called to a
by-product of the automobile indus-
try which ordinarily goes unmention-
ed, the utter ruination of tempers and
manners which the automobile seems
to have brought to millions of good
citizens. It is a point well worth
considering. It applies to nearly all
of us and in the last few years it
has porduced a set of road manners
,which would seem to justify the
complaint that we are a nation of
barbarians.--iChatham News, •

Problems of Youth Those of Social Order
(The following 'is from The Strat-
ford Beacon -Herald and is a report
of an address given before the Min-
isterial Association of that city a
few weeks ago-)
"The variability. of youth is a
normal and proper oigan for the self -
revelation of God." With this sen-
tence, Rev, D. E. Foster, pastor of
Parkview United Church concludes
one of the most interesting papers
ever delivered to the members of the
Stratford Mini aerial Aasoct>iatiore
The entire address was thought -pre-
yoking and filled with' matters which
have ,caused controversy for years,
"The Church of Today and the
Problems of Youth" was the topic on
which Mr. Foster was speaking.
"Assuming that there is n lsrob-
len," . he said, "we must first con-
sider how 'to hold youth to the
church, the problem of loose morals,
unemployment and how to get them,
to assume responsibility. So many
oil the youth are said to have gat-
ten out of control and many think
this eonetitutes a .menace to civil-
ization. The problems of youth are
the problemt of the social order and
these tendencies of cirvilieation have
been localized in youth. 'Consequent-
ly the cure must be sought at the
seat of the trouble. If the problems
of the social order are solved, the
problems of youth will be likewise
solved."
Mr. Foster drew attention to the
fact ,that there has aways been a
cleavage beween youth and age, a
misunderstanding. O'lder people 'have
always thought the young people
were going "to, the nags." He asked
whether or not there was anything
NE+Wi wrong with the young people.
Study youth in its environments he
said and you will find symptoms not
found in the past.
Disciples of Adventure
"The 'c±haracteristies ;of youth
might be',enumereted as craze for
excitement, lack ,of reverence and re.
speot, disregard for reasonable re-
atraints, lack of individuality show-
ing itself in mass action and lack of
purpose. Are they responsible or
just •reading in a perfectly normal
Way to that for Which their' elders
are responsible. Youth's '.outlook
has been transformed by enlarged
powers. New invitations are coming
to'nhem with neW—.opportunities for
enjoyments These amusements are
exploited:' by 'commercial enterprises,
Is it any wonder they ignore old
"culture and •are disciples of adven-
ture?"
Mr.. Foster referred tss the chang-
ed, status of women, ,Girls cannot
follow 'old grooves, he said, and fe-
male conduct cannot be estimated
by old standards which assumed In.
equality of the sexes, He continued
by saying that the difficulty' in
which women find themselves today-
arises
odayarises from the fact that they have
been admitted into a much bigger
world and are ill prepared. Who is
there to say what is good taste and
what isn't, he asked.
"Both boys and girls have a new
freedom in a world where sex at-
traction is ,ane of the basic facts.
Neither are prepared for the prob-
lems, They handle the situation as
well as dart be expected. We ought
to feel surprised not at the increase
of immortality but rather that itis
as moderate as it has been under the
circumstances% Then comes the clues.
tion of the contacts of youth. Where.
as in former days muoh of their as-
sociation was with older people, to-.
day 'they, come in contact with clas.
ses .of their own 'age." •
Profit ie Everything
.Mr. Foster made the statement
that youth has inherited the ailments
of the industrial civilization and
have acquired their characteristics
through the industrial order. He laid
stress upon the profit motive para-
mount in the world tooay. Profit is
behind every aaction and nothing is
done with the ide., of ,helping some
one, he stated. The result is that
leaders• are the men of economic
drive, He referred also tothe,snechan-
Ization of men, the trend toward et-
aminating .individuality and thought.
Following the remark about mechan-
ization he spoke of the chasm be.
tweet' work and leisure which sends
men out in -search of exciting pleas-
ures. The fourth point touched ,upon
was the great number' of women whe
have been driven into industry,
changing their outlook. making them
independent and -choosing their own
pleasures.
o'Our youth of today is hopelessly
enmeshed in the industrial system
which impoverishes the spirit. All
they ask is a goodly supply of mon-
ey so they can. go out,: ,and :enjoy
themselves. The youth has been
plunged into view conditions without'
the opportunity for an, education ap-
propriate thereto. At not one of the
four points I mentioned is the pre-
sent :system of education facing the
problem of giving them a,rational,
purmise£ul idea of •living. They need
to be educated as to how to judge
worth, value. They are willing to
exert themwelves• in any way as long
as it means money. Are they any
different from their•: elders in that
way? Their pleasuret are pretty
much these o3 the older people, only
they carry them further."
Rev. Mr. Foster questioned his
Waren as to whether or not youth
has, ever been brought to consider
the significance for life of the tri-
umphs of modern science. He asked
if people were really any better for
all the inventions and discoveries of
Modern science. He was of the .opin-
ion' that colleges should open these
questions, should have studies on
social interest, should tell their stud-
ents what it means :to be a neigh-
bor in this mechanized world.
Blames the Schools
"There are two considerations. We
should attaek our own ailments of
the present civilizationand get our
youth to. help us d -o it. What ails
our education? This, is the answer
It is a rapidly ' changing world,
whereas we. have slowly changing
schools and colleges. The changes In
the world call for different outlooks
'and ,our education should help. Our
education tells us nothing about the
business of living, the meaning of
life.. The schools and colleges are
like factories. They have t become
mechanized and conventionalized. 'Our
teachers teach in the routine way.
How do schools and colleges seek to
attend to ,the.' religious sides They
have chapel service and then the
religious portion is dropped. Realm
ion should be made a part of every
lecture, should be related to life.
Isret it true that the dryness of edu-
cation somewhat' assists the craze
for athletics ? And yet our youth is
criticized for that craze. The schools
and colleges are held within conven-
tions because they are dependent up-
on people .with money. One reason
why the youth of today is not quite
healthy is because the nationalistie
element has laid hold of the colleges.
The authority of state is replacing
the authority of God."
The next matter touched upon by
the speaker was the attitude taken
by the schools and colleges regarding
the right of free speech and assem-
bly, He pointed out that the right is
being •denied today. Mr. Foster• went
ns far as to say that the colleges
have simply been plastic clay in the
hands of the state.
"When is a youth well-educated?"
he asked. "The answer is or should
be, when he's educated to live well,
it is absurd to call a person well-
educated, who has never been social-
ly awakened. They have been cul-
tured only according to recognized
standards. There are thousands of
religionists who are not ready to
take the lead in the building up of
the new social structure, have 'we
any assurance that if everyone were
educated to day we would have a
different society to -morrow?"
Hopelessly Entangled
Youth, Mr, Foster stated has the
power of variation and should be
changed. How is the world ever to
have a deliberate, thought -guided
evolution (not revolution) unless
youth is taught to make the changes,
he asked. How is it to happen un-
less there is room in the curriculum
found for the variability of youth,
unless they are taught to see the
defects of the present system and
find means for correcting these de-
fects, He asked further if religion
In the church could supply the mit
sing factors. Have the leaders in re-
ligious education been awakeend as
to the need for changes he'asked.
"The church too has become hope-
lessly entangled with the capitalistic
system. The youth is criticized to.
day and, they want to make changer,
How about a little co-operation on
our part? The privileged class re-
cognizes that if they are going to
keep their privileges they must keep
youth quiet. We mustn't exclude
youth from ,the ,councils of one
church. The problem for us is to
humble ourselves and acknowledge
our failures and shortcotnings and
the .message of the church to youth
should be an invitation to the unfin-
ished and unbegun task of Christian-.

of new babies made their debut into
this world during the past few
months, In fact, a lot of babies were
born yesterday,
, How many•parents have taken
snapshots of their new arrivals? The
chances are that the majority have

the little rascals that they have

years to come. Of course you want
many so-called "record" pictures of
the youngster but for the most part
make an effort to snap the baby when
he is doing something.
Sooner or later he will discover
that he has toes to play with. Snap
a picture of him when his tiny little
bands have a :'strangle hold" on his
chubby foot. You will cherish that
picture in years to come.
In a ,baby's life there is the first

crib; the first time, he pulls himself
up to the side of a chair and then his

Prior to the Facist regime there
were 40,000 Boy Scouts in Italy. As
part of his plan to secure national
unity, Mussolini demanded but one
youth movement, the B'alilla, the

Shortly prior to the Russian re-
volution Czar Nicholas had, the text-

expense into Russian, to encourage
the growth of Scouting in that
country. The Soviet Government
suppressed the movement .ruthlessly.
A few Scout troops tried to 'carry on

movement now permitted is the
"Young Pioneets'," onemlbership' in
which is practically compulsory, and
which is anti -religious, -and teaches

WE DON'T KNOW ALL!
To assume the pose that we are
above mistakes is absurd; better far
admit most frankly if we occupy a
prominent position before the public,
that we make mistakes, many of
them, and we expect to go on making
them so long as We live. This will
dispose of any claim to infallibility,
but it will place us on much firmer
ground, an help men to realise that
we are just as human es they. This
in itself, does not alienate men, but
rather .draws them to us. Teachers,
Professors, preachers, and above all,,
