FLAPPER NEEDS
RELIGION, SAYS
DIR. HARGRAVES
American Youth Is Fndamen-
tally Sound. Declares Sunday
School Superintendent.
BY JOHN l.. SPIVIK,
International News serSice.

CHICAGO. June 29.-What ails
the much discussed flapper has been
discovered by a worldwide authority
on flappers. flapperism and fapper.
dom.
TIE authority is no other than DR..
Corliss P. Hargraves. foreign super.
intendent Of Sunday schools for the
Methodist Episcopal Church. who Is
In Chicago today to make a report 70
tho conference Of bishops and min.
listers of that church in session here.
DIR. Hargraves has studied the
question of youthful tendencies and
morality in every country in the
world. and his solemn verdict is:
THE flapper needs religion
without an undergirding of re.
ligion." he continued. ali the mora
frivolous tendencies of the American
flapper will run into degeneration. ii
not worse. 1t Is the religious tend.
ency Of today that holds the flapper
movement from going to all sorts Of
excesses.
''The impression that got OF
American youth is that their morals
and ideals are fundamentally sound.
while 1t is easy to go to extremes
unconsciously, yet in this new free.
dom of expression I find a basis OF
sincerity and naturalness which when
properly directed tends toward the
finest Of character.
II hold no brief for the frivolous
flapper. but I am thoroughly optl.
mistic on the subject Of American
youth. There are none finer in tho
whole world"
