Way to Success in Depression
Discussed by Joy Elmer
Morgan.

Success in the future will be attained
by persons with imagination enough to
think up Jobs that have never been
done before, Joy Elmer Morgan, editor
Of the Journal of the National Educa-
ton Association, declared at the Gen.
tral High School commencement last
night when SIS students were gradu-
ated.
Commenting on the present-day un-
employment which cOnfronts graduates
of all educational institutions, Mr. Nor
gan suggested that perhaps the future
isn't as dark as it first appears to the
principals in the country's commence
ments this month. The biggest job"
confronting America today, he said, is
the finding Of worthy occupations for
the Nations youth. Half of this task
is social and the other half, the editor
declared, is individual and must be
done by the young people themselves.
The skill to do jobs well and so eco
nomically that people will desire the
new services is essential Mr.. Morgan
said. What America needs is a high
or standard of living. For three years
we have been creating lower standards
of living-doing the wrong things,
throwing more people out of jobs, cut
ting salaries and wages. This cannot
be done by attempting to force upon
people things which they neither want
nor need. 1t can be done by discov-
ering services which will add to the
excellence the beauty, the security and
the happiness of life," he added.
Suggests Types of Service.
In reviewing types of new services
for which demand will exist. Mr..
Morgan cited professionally trained po-
lice forces whose personnel will be
trained for the specific job of crime
prevention; more comprehensive and
systematic services for automobile own
ers. by which the life of motor cars
can be materially prolonged; sys-
tematic, longtime planning of cities
and communities landscape gardening
and Identification for the small home
owner, and socialized recreation.
In conclusion, Mr. Morgan paid trib-
ute to the District of Columbia public
school system as a contributing factor
in the preparation Of youth for this
new future" The public schools here,
he said. constitute one of the finest
systems in the country. 1t is we'll ad-
ministered and stated by educated,
consecrated teachers"
