Less Drinking In College Today Than In Pre-Prohibition Period,
 Dr. High Informs Young People

'lHlS IOuHg I cope Ideals and the Teacher" and point ed out that the lies, the insinuations. and the half-truths in the history 1 books used during the last 50 years have had much to do with creating ill-win and suspicion and feeling of superiority without which the World war could not have come. If were going to build up q world of brotherhood we've got to have his tory books that give all the facts ! We are apt to put our trust in bank accounts and battleships whereas
 N" need to put it in friendship and
 the power of good will. This is some of the moral disarmament which is needed"
 Immigrants Handicaps
 Christian Ideals and the Immi-
 grant" was the topic discussed by John Gcrardi, son of an immigrant { father. who tried hard to learn ! English and to make the most of his opportunities in America. The speaker pointed out many of the 1 barriers and hanaicaps which the
 children of immigrants have to over
 come in this country.
 John Peter Chinniah. of Vellore. south India. and q student at Hart 1 ford Theological Seminary spoke on l Christian Ideals and World Friend 1 ship and he pointed out in con- Fincing manner that without world | friendship, the very heart is gone
 out of Christianity. He spoke with l high appreciation of the league of nations, and the eager longing with l which the youth of India look to the 1 league to aid them in their struggle for freedom from the subjection to
 British rule.
 Dare We Be Christians
 Harry T. Stock, secretary of the Congregational Education society,
 spoke at the evening session on the subject: Dare We Be Christians?" We need to take care" the speaker
 said, that that which we take to be freedom does not turn out to be the greatest moral bondage, and | bring us into worse slavery than the conventions and traditional restric- tons from which We have broken away. It takes courage to be true to what we know is right. and to
 bear the stigma 'reformer' which is hurled by agencies that are op- posed to change. Just now it isn't very hard to approve what President Hoover and Premier Macdonald are doing for world peace, but in a few months when the forces Of hate and prejudice get their insidious propa- ganda organized it will be hard to stand for international good will and friendship"
 War Outworn Institution
 Out Of year of travel and study in many nations around the world, completed during this present year, Miss Ruth l. Seahury, educational , secretary of the American Board, spoke with fascinating interest on Young People Around the World" | A group of German students after | frank discussion Of the terrible aft
 crmath of the World war, and the bitter wrongs left in it's train, said ! to Miss Seabury. Tell the American
 youth that We are willing to goE the limit with them to do away with | this outworn institution called war" At the request Of young people of 1 Turkey Miss Seabury carried the question to Mahatma Gandhi, Have you spiritual message for the young people Of Turkey?" To which
 the seer replied, Tell the young people of Turkey to make haste slowly" Then as his message to American young people, the great Indian leader said, Say to the young people of America for me:
 Don't be too sure" They are so sure that might makes right; they arc NO sure that youth knows more
 than age. Tell them, Don't be too sure"'
 An Indian student said to me on" day" said the speaker It's q terrible thing to feel that you arc q member of subject race-that @ll
 Of tn" rest of the world thinks white
 is better color than brown" Stu ! dents in China are finding it very hard today to be Christian and pa triotlc at the same time, for vest ernS have made the name Chris 1 tlan" mean warships. unequal trea- | ties. and trouble between nations.
 In Japan the problem Of young peo-
 pie is just our problem-in the
 midst Of hurry and speed to keep
 sense of balance and to keep spiri-
 tual values in life uppormost "An Indian girl said to be one
 day" said Miss Soabury, "T have studied in America, and love
 America. But America was the most
 bitter disappointment have ever
 met in all my Hfr," When asked
 why this vas so. sh" rcpler, Be
 C, use I expected to find America q
 much more Christian country than
 found it."
