Modern Youth Inferior In Mature Judgment and Responsibility When
 Compared With His Grandparents
Educator Says Children Today Allowed to Live Too Long Without the Knowledge of Real Prob- lens of Life - Others Speak.

Washington, May P-In point of maturity and responsibility, says pr. $. NJ. Gutenberg. of Columbia University, the modern youth does rot compare favorably with his grandfather when the latter was young.
 Addressing the international con- gress on mental hygiene, Dr. Gruen- berg today said that the youth of today is "appallingly unaware of all ternatives" and almost totally in- nocent in the making of choices"
 Real Problems Needed
 The problem, he continued, is to discover a technique whereby the adolescent may be projected into q situation where the stakes are real and the issue worthy of concern.
 The maturity process of the mod ern child, in his opinion, is likely to be delayed by the lengthening of the period of schooling with the general ly consequent freedom from econo- mic obligation.
 Dr. Arthur H. Ruggles of Yale University, said the youth of today is "open, frank, and eager to put his cards on the table" It is difficult, he pointed out, to find enough hours 10 devote to the problem young men bring to the college mental hygien- ists.
 There have been in the past. he from rntlr without any knowledge as to what the world is about and without any understanding of their own potcnti- alities If mental hygiene in col lege,' he said, were to do nothing but give such individuals a greater understanding of their own inhibi tions and to provide them with the tools of insight, emotional stability, imagination. and the courage to ven ture, it would make a NorthUhi contribution"
 Advanced Child Neglected
 In treating of the child of superior intelligence as a special problem, Dr. Leta s. Hollingworth, of Columbia University. explained that when he drifts in school unrecognlZed, ms abilities are never genuinely chal- lenged and he receives daily practice in habits of idleness and daydream- ing" On the other hand, it was pointed out, if he is accelerated in grade so that he is able to function intellectually with real interest, he will be misplaced in important re- spects.
 "A child Of eight years graded with twelve year odds may be able to do intellectual work as we'll as they can" Dr. Hollingworth said but 1t is out of his depth socially and physically. Experimental educa- ton is trying to solve these prob- ems"

Interest Is Revived
BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS

LONDON, March Three devel-
opments-two of major Importance
to the naval conference and one
arousing curiosity in conference cir
cles-have happened to quicken the
tagging interest here.
First is that the French are back.
Aristide BRAND arrived Thursday
night and Premier Tardieu is ex-
pected Saturday, and by Monday the
parley should again be going in high
after three weeks Of idleneSs.
Second, there no longer can be
room for doubt that the British in
tend to complete their Singapore
naval base, the Gibraltar of the
east" This was revealed in new
naval estimates just issued by First
Lord of the Admiralty Alexander,
who included in the budget approx
mately 100000 for this project.
This represented more than a
million dollars over the current year.
despite \ previous announcement
that, pending the outcome Of the
naval conference, work on the base
would be suspended.
Japanese are Interested
This development doubtless will
not be lost on the Japanese, who
insist that naval bases are as i'm
portant as battleships, nor on the
Americans who are demanding addi-
tIonal 10,000-ton cruisers because the
British have numerous first-class
bases and American hardly any.
Nevertheless the Americans do
not seriously object to the Singa-
pore project. One reason, however.
for inSiStence of the Japanese on
70 per cent of the American ton
mage is their fear of Britain's be-
nevolent neutrality in the event of
conflict In the western Pacific. and
in certain contingencies even use
by America Of the naval bases.
The real secret behind the con-
tinuance Of the Singapore construc-
ton, however, is believed to be the
insistence Of Australia and New
Zealand
"ooh III AAOS w dStT
Concerning Secretary Stimson's
statement, what satisticians wonder
here is where he got his figures in
dicating 200,000-ton decrease in
the American tonnage as q result
OF the London conference.
They figure he must include many
obsolete or useless vessels now in
the feet to show that after build
ing to parity with Britain such an
enormous net reduction would re-
suit.
Many feel Stimson has embarked
on treacherous waters with his pen
Gil. The public Is doomed to dis
if it expects rear re-
duction here, according to almost
universal opinion.
But If flve-power limitation is
achieved at sane figures, the actual
reduction under what the fleets
would be would make the
conference milestone in
history,
