Educator Speaks.

EuuCdlUl SpCdko.
Forty-seven Butler university STU
dents today received special awards
in literature, dramatics and deba-
ting al the ninth annual honor
day" exercises in the mems gym
nasium.
The awards we're announced by
J. W. Putnam. dean, following an
address on Our BeWildered Moral
ity" by DR.. Smaller Mathews Of the
University Of Chicago.
Morals change as civilization
changes" DR. Mathews said. New
situations always demand new ad-
iustments Of life. Morality is q good
deal like the rules of football-they
are made as the game proceeds.
AN agricultural age has morality
which needs TO be developed in a
commercial age: morals in a COM
nercial age need to be developed in
an industrial age.
Two Generations Differ
Again there is the different eX-
perience of two generations. The
older generation is aware Of the
changes and does not quite know
how to adjust itself to new condi-
tons. The younger generation els
trusts inherited authority and con-
ventions, but has not yet sufficient
experience to face the new condi-
tons wisely"
