THE BREEZY LAKE.
Prof. Graham Taylor on Social Aspects
Of Industrial Life"-Dr. Smith Ooun-
ters on Taylor-Routine Work
and Pleasure.

was that of yesterday afternoon Oh the
Social Aspects Of Industrial Life" by
Prof. Graham TAYLOR. He delved into a
new field and brought up thoughts and
ideas that were a revelation to many.
He held that the Industrial question
needed a historical and social interpre-
tation and be gave it by going back to
Christ who was the first to recognize the
~onsclousne Of the individual. Jere-
miah and Ezekiel were the first to an
nounce personal responsibility, but pre-
vlous TO and long after hat the sanctlty
of human life was not recognized.
Everything was absorbed IN the state or
the people as u mass. The modern sense
OF individuality was not appreciated in
these .olden times. Glass consciousness
was the first to be evolved. The Black
Death in the 18th century which gave
rise to Walt Tyler's instruction was the
protest Of the class Of laborers against
the exhortation of the mobiles. 1t gave
labor a sense Of its power and value from
that time on. Following this was the
rise of the guilds and the crafts, but
these were not all laborers. Labor
unions are not exactly their successors
as they consist solely of the employed.
Since 1924 England has made immense
strides IN favor of labor and is fifty years
in advance of this country, Glass con
seriousness may be a hateful thing but it
has a more hateful thing to contend
with. The gentleman then entered into
an analysis Of socialism and anarchy,
pointing out the extremes to which they
lead and the necessity for IA rational
archists are extreme in~dividualists, and
anarchy is fostered and bred by excess
slve competitions, and competition leads
to combination and the crushing out OF
individuality. Socialism is built up at
the expense Of individuality, but for the
good Of the whole when not carried too
far. Co. operation is the coming idea of
social industry. The professor here gave
much of his personal experience with the
anarchists Of Chicago, explaining the
hard social conditions that existed there,
and asserted that anarchy was growing
prodigiously.
A BLAST.
In the evening, during the program Of
recitation and song before his lecture
DR.. Smith of St. Paul took occasion to
combat some Of the positions OF Prof.
Taylor as to how this reformation in
social conditions was to be brought
about. He did not believe it could come
from the people as a body but that re-
form had to begin with individuals and
through them reform the people. This
was Christ's method and must be the
way to-day. He deprecated the arraying
of class against class. and did not think
because a man was rich ne was dishonest
or because he was poor he WAS a saint.
Miss Sammis and Miss Gary In their
respective parts entertained very de-
lightfully.
SkANDINAVIANS ABROAD.

phns and others. The speaker con.
sidered the Scandinavians a greater
race than either the Hebrew, Greek,
Roman, Anglo Saxon OF American and
that the worlds civilization owed more
to them than any of these races. Any.
one with scandinavian blood IN their
VEINS ought to be proud Of the fact.
