If Society in General Had as High Ideals as

AT present the social curriculum is being attacked because of social
standards The attack ls unwarranted- The student does not set social
standards He inherits these just as he falls heir to the studies of the
academic curriculum. No student invented jazz; no student wrote the
sex play; no student wrote the present vulgar, obscene songs; no student
photographed the immoral film; and no student created coarse fashions
In dress for men and women All these are the gracious gifts of q COM
mercdized society.
If society in general had as high ideals as the average high-school
or college student there would be q different world tomorrow. For the
most part, bis worst fault is that his taste ID bad.
Student government associations, fraternity and social groups ire

their task doubly hard In the past youth has been trained to reverence
and follow the judgments Of maturity. Today, when he follows the lead
