ton from now the world Will De
what those who are young today
will have made it: 1t will be their
world. They will have to live in
it. And I am firm in the belief
that any new or RADICAL ideas
that don't prove workable will
have been scrapped long before
their young proponents of today
have grown up.
TEAMWORK of the future
My guess about the kind of So
cial order that is going to come out
of the thinking of the youth of
today is that it will be based very
much more upon collective effort
in every phase of life than upon
individual initiative. I have feel
ing that we are going to evolve
in America some sort Of a collect
ivist philosophy which will be
neither Communism, Socialism-as
we use the term today-nor Fas-
cism.
1t is certain that business will
continue to become more closely
organized. Social activities, even
those of children, are more highly
coordinated than ever before. The
whole tendency of the human
spirit today is toward cooperation.
somewhere balance will be found
I believe, between the extremes of
old-fashiond rugged individualism
and the suppression of all individ-
ual liberty such as prevails under
Communism and Fascism.
LIGHT in churches
vote 100 per cent for the pro-
posal that churches should be

'cathedrals' That was recon-
mended to the Methodist Protest
ant Church Conference last week
by its Lords Day Committee.
The gloomy, colorless interiors
of most Protestant churches give
children the idea that there isl
something dour and solemn about
religion itself. Only once in al
while have l seen an American
church that gave the impression of
joy and happiness-and my idea
of religion is that unless it is joy
Gus and happy, it isn't much of a |
religion. |
The "show places" Of Europe|
are the great cathedrals, in which
the greatest works by the greatest
artists are displayed, and the most
lavish use is made of color and
decoration. I would like Ito see
more of that sort of thing in our
own churches
HYMNS in earnest
The Methodist church has au-
thorized revised hymn-book-l
and I am glad to see that most of
the thrilling old hymns and tunes
have been retained, and only few
of the "unsingable" ones. I've Of
ten thought that I could compile
hymn-book that wouldn't have
single tune in which the whole
congregation couldn't join in har-
mony, not a hymn whose words
did not carry some message of

The terrors of the depression
from which a weary world is en-
crying have produced in many
minds a hysteria that in its turn
has brought about an abandonment
of calm and rational thinking.
Out of a plethora of panaceas
has come one that has been accept
ed by many persons who would
Immediately throw it into the
wastebasket would they but ex-
anime it with that impassioned
study they we5e accustomed in
other days to exercise.
That panacea provides for the
exterminating of inventors and
the junking of many of the ma
chimes these inventors have already
set spinning.
Machines are the enemy of men,
these people would have us be-
lieve. Machines take jobs away
from men and bring about hun
ger and nakedness and depression
and death.
They would have the world
ditch the steamshovels and take
up the hand shovels. They would
have us throw out the Linotype
machines and begin setting type
by hand. They would have us
put the automobile in the garage,

or better, in the junk pile, and
hitch old Dobbin to the buggy.
They would break up the looms
in the textile plants and get out
grandmother's spinning wheel and
hand loom.
Perhaps they would not go
that far. But the principle is the
same. They would put paddock
upon the facile minds of those
who dream of further labor-sav-
ing devices. We don't want labor
saved, they say. We want it Gre
ated.
1t is a false sort of thinking.
1t is unthinking. 1t is the opposite
Of thinking. The world did not
come down to the depression be-
cause of machines. 1t will not en-
erge by junking machines. There
is nothing uneconomic in building
better machines and more ma
chimes. The question is how to han
die these machines, how to turn
them to mans seavice, how to keep
them from being mans enemy.
Junking the machines is not the
answer. Junking the machines
will carry the world back and
back-until it will be all but i'm
possible to find the answer.
Years ago when Mergenthaler
perfected his famous Linotype ma
chine, the printers over the land
and thousands of others who had
failed to think the problem
through raised their hands to high
heaven and wept for the future of
those who set type. Many were
thrown out OF work. The Linotype
machine and one operator did the
work of a half dozen or more
hand typesetters. 1t was frightful
to contemplate the future of the
printing trade.
What was the future?
Where one printer worked over
a font of type in the old days.
perhaps dozen printers now work
at Linotype machines, Monotype|
at makeup stones, in
stereotyping departments; where
there were tiny little printing es-
tablishments and four-page news
papers that printed news week
or half week or day old, there
are now great newspaper plants,
great job-printing plants, great
printing the news of
the baseball game that ended two
Or three minutes ago, of the storm
that will roar over the land
within the next few hours, of
this and that and a countless
number Of live items of news.
No, machines are not enemies
of man. Machines are mans best
friends. Present machines have
done their share of making this
world a more pleasant and profit
able abode of man. Future ma
chimes will have an increasing
share in that accomplishment.
The inventor is still mans be-
nefactor. To him still belongs the
laurel crown. He is doing his part.
Our job is to use his inventions
for the benefit of mankind. If
they become mans enemies, it Isl
not the fault of the man who Wis
ioned and created them. 1t is the
fault of our own refusal to think
and understand and act.

hut built in which Admiral Byrd
lived alone in the Antartic?

board, paper, kapok, and alumni

The highly polished aluminium in
the walls in the form of two thin
layers threw back the heat in the
manner of mirrors rejecting light.

York City established the maga-
zine in 1907. 1t has since been dis
tributed free each month to any
blind person in the United States
and Canada who can read one of
the three types in which it is print
ed. Mrs. Ziegler became interested
in this philanthropy because she
had blind son. At the time of

YOUTH opens doors
There never has been time. If
my experience, when so much
thought was being given to the
ideas of the young. On the one
hand I hear old fogies expressing
alarm lest the youth get radical
ideas from the study of what is
going on in Communist Russia and
Socialist Germany; and on the 9TH
er hand I hear ardent young men
and women protesting that they
should be allowed to express their
own beliefs, whether they conform
to tradition or not.
I don't apprehend any danger
to civilization from the free ex-
animation of new ideas. A genera
ton from now the world will be
what those who are young today
will have made it: 1t will be their
world. They will have to live in
it. And I am firm in the belief
that any new or radical ideas
that don't prove workable will
have been scrapped long before
their young proponents of today
have grown up.
