Spirit of Unrest Abroad is World
Wide, He Says in Commence
ment Address

Des Moines, Ia, June 12,-DeClar-
ing that the spirit of unrest abroad
is world wide and that the weaken
ing of home ties and the loss of
church influence have been accom-
panied the world over by increasing
discomfort, ,lessening OF individual
effort and growth of paternaliem, y
Theodore P. Shonts of New York
today urged that the people Of
America get back to the 'Individ-
ualisn of our forefathers.
Mr.. Shonts delivered the annual
address before "a
class of more than two hundred at
Drake University this forenoon. DR..
Shonts' theme was the development
of indivdualism the duty of the
schools
After reciting the manner in
which industrial developments in
the last hundred years had weak
ened home ties, he said the Ameri'
can people had become a community
of "cliff dwellers in large cities,
dwe1lers of cliffs inaccessible to the
neighbor where the individual is
apt to regulate his conduct on the
standard Of selfish desires, not from
the standard of public opinion"
Discussing the wrowth of pater-
nalism, Dr. Shonts said;
In one breath the laws them
selves are denounced and in the
next new laws are demanded, seek
ing the intervention and support OF
the government in all ordinary af-
fairs of life. The cry is for univer-
sal governmental activity. Whether
1t be called socialism, collectivism,
communism, municipal operation or
ownership, the result is
the same"
After noting some of the tenden-
cies of what he termed "this ever
growing movement" particularly
citing the individual outbreaks
against established order, he said
I'VE must get back, and the
schools must get back, to fundamen.
tai, the old-fashioned notion that
respect for properly constituted au-
thority is the one safeguard for the
individual and the state. The
schools must help US arrest further
progress toward form of govern
ment which has benevolence for its
aim but which can only result in
the perpetuaticn of the weaklings,
the dependent and the disorderly, at
the expense of the strong, the law
abiding and the self reliant.
