AGAINST LUXUR|ES
Leisure Should Be Utilized,
He Tells Graduates of
Southeastern U.

A warning against Americas dan
gerous blessings" leisure and luxury,
WAS sounded last night by DR.. William
Knowles Cooper, past general secretary
of the Y M. C. A, in an address at the
annual commencement ceremonies of
Southeastern University and affiliated
schools of the Y M. c. A. in Memorial
Continental Hall.
Approximately 100 graduates of the
univerSity'S law and accountancy
schools and of the Washington Prepare
tory School and the Woodward School
for Boys, received diplomas in the pres
ence of large gathering of parents,
relatives and friends.
Churches Fail to Keep Pace.
Churches and other character build
ing agencies have not kept pace with
commercialized amusements in making
the most of youths leisure time, DR..
Cooper told the graduates.
THE unparalleled resources of this
country, together with the inventive
genius of our people and their tireless
industry have produced two blessings
which may carry with them elements
of danger" DR.. Cooper declared. The
average young man of today will spend
not more than 40 hours per week in
earning a living He win have not less
gage in pleasure, study or whatever he
will
THE church and the character
building agencies have quite overlooked
this unusual opportunity to deal with
youth at this most important point,
while commercial amusementS have
taken full advantage of it."
