Scheidler the seventh and eighth grade girls, dressed in colorful gypsy costumes, presented a musical program. These songs of various countries are part of a study of the life of the gypsies : Gypsy Song, Juanita-Spanisb Selection, Santa Lucia-Italian Melody, Howard School · Loyalty Song. Immediately following these selections Dr. Lee Alexander Stone, famed as a lecturer and author on medical matters, gave a very inspiring talk on "The Youth of Today." He prefixed his lecture with the consoling thought that the problems concerning the handling of youth were problems all through the ages. He cited an editorial which appeared in the Liberty magazine that explained in a very humorous way that as far back as Methuselah's time youth perplexed old age even though the span of life ran in the hundreds.

It is impossible to send the child across the river over the same stones you stepped on as they are not there and . there are additional hazards caused by currents and rapids of. present time. We need tolerance with the child. Touching on the point of modern scanty dress the speaker says women are healthier than they ever have been. The family. helpless type of woman is extinct. The young girl treats the young man as a pal. As for youth losing sight of God, Dr. Stone says youth is only revolting against religion as it is presented and is seeking for a new phase of theology. The crime wave that everyone is concerned with, Dr. Stone states, is no greater in Chicago in proportion to ·its population than in any other part of the country. "Our biggest trouble with youth is our failure to regulate . the economic problem of youth. Give youth a complete explanation of cause and effects and then let him decide his own course of procedure. No threat or punishment ever prevented a crime. Let ·youth alone ; he will settle down." s·oald T.

When the little baby lips seek a knowledge of self he urges the parents to answer fairly and squarely. Sex Hygiene is an individual study and not to be taught to groups in school. If the parent has the right attitude the child will have it also. In conclusion Dr. Stone urged the people to trust the younger generation and. not let other people poison them agaanst youth.
