Social Needs imperative.

The average country boy and girl

quently under the direction and care
of the church. To send them into the
world with no social training exposes
them to grave perils and to try to
keep them out of the world with no
social privileges is sheer folly. There
is social nature to both old and
young, but the social requirements OF
the yonng are imperative The church
must provide directly or indirectly
some modern equivalent for the husk-
ing bee, the quilting bee and the sing
ing schools of the old days. In one
way or another the social instincts
of our young people must have oppor-
tnnity for expression, which may
take the form of clubs. parties, pic

One thing is certain. and that is that
the church cannot take away the
dance. the. card party and the theatre

pleasing recreation.
