American Legion for the veterans Of
the c. G. G. camps. Some of those
wrestling with youth problems look
rather askance on this organiza-
tional effort. There are indications
that Director Fechner of the c. C.
c. does, but Mr.. Boykin says he
wants to keep the boys out of the
hands of radicals, keep them i'm
bued with American ideals, etc.
The organization would help in get
ting them jobs and is getting some
support from industry. Hanford
McNutt's name frequently bobs up,
too, in the discussions of the educa-
tors to whom this writer has talked.
They fear his organizing genius is
whetting its chops for this fertile
field and they don't think he would
do the youngsters any particular
good.
Instead of finding radicalism
among the youngsters, Howard M.
Bell, who got up Youth Tell Their
Story" for the commission, reported
that a survey made in Maryland as
typical State disclosed a state of
apathy. 1t burned him up, too. He
exclaimed:

hstless apathy can quite easily

revamping Of the vocational educa-
ton which got to be the vogue sew
eral years ago. A study made by
D. L. Harley, the commissions re-
search assistant, disclosed that only
1877 per cent of the work in which
youngsters, 16 to Is years, are en-
gagged requires any relatively long
period of training or apprenticeship.
No training at all is required in Ali
per cent, and less than a year in
422 per cent. There is no sugges-
ton Of abandoning vocational edu-
cation but the commission feels that
there shouldn't be so much stress on
specialization, that the student
should be given training in three or
four pursuits, in order that in our
rapidly-changing times he can
switch from one to another with at
least some of the facility of the
man on the flying trapeze.
No Radicalism.
All told, however, youth seems to
be taking its plight easily. Studies
made of G. c. c. camps disclose no
signs of radicalism. The impress
sion is that the boys and girls are
setups for some man on horseback.
In this connection, Representative
Boykin Of Alabama Is getting up

ganization of several thousand edu-
Gators throughout the country and
is one of Washington's leading pres
sure groups. The American Youth
Commission is supported by Rocke-
feller funds and is a creature of the
council. Its work the past four years
of surveying the whole youth field
has been under the direction of DR..
Homer P. Rainey, former president
Of Bucknell. He has accepted the
presidency of the University of Tex
as and has been succeeded by DR..
Floyd w. Reeves, who is just like
that with the New Deal. He has
been head of the Presidents Ad-
visory Committee.
All the studies and all the activi-
ties are heading up to Federal aid
for education. There is bill pend
ing in the Senate now, by Senators
Pat Harrison and Thomas of Utah,
and companion measure In the
House by Chairman Larrabee of the
House Education Committee, which
would provide for a six-year expert
ment with Federal aid. Approx
mately $75.000,00O would be appro-
priated the first year, this amount
increasing to about $208,000,0OO the
sixth year. The bill seeks specifically
to prevent any Federal encroach-
ment upon local control of educa-
ton 1t is to be pressed at the next
session, with every indication that
it will have administration support.
Illiteracy High.
Senator Thomas committee in
favorably reporting the bill said
there are more illiterates in this
country than college graduates and
about half as many illiterates as
high school graduates.
1t Is the study made for the
Youth Commission by Prof. Newton
Edwards of Chicago University,
however, upon which the drive will
mainly be based. This study, just
released in a book called Equal
Educational Opportunity for Youth"
shows that while the country as a
whole has been pretty generous in
the extension of educational facili-
ties, the educational setup based on
local support resembles a crazy
quilt, with a nice piece of silk here
and the cheapest sort of cotton fab.

The educators, at least those of
the Youth Commission. do not con-
tend that more or better education
will cure the youth unemployment
problem. There is now a median
gap of two years from the time a
youngster leaves school until he
gets employment. It is estimated
that youth between the ages of Is
and "a constitute approximately
one-third of the total unemploy-
ment.
In fact, society seems to have
been pressing in on the youngsters
from all sides. Humanitarian as
we'll as selfish reasons now tend to
keep him from going to work at 16,
and an eXacting mechanization of
industry makes it difficult for him
at 81. Advancing civilization seems
to have placed him in an economic
straitjacket, in which he needs
all sorts of education to get out. AS
an example of the way things have
been going, in 1870 there was 1872
per cent of the child population, 10
to Is years, gainfully employed. In
1880 1t was only AZ per cent.

Speaking of this dastardly act,

coffiins and left bones streWn about

down in those Southeastern States
the fertility of the women is out of
all proportion to the fertility of the
land. In 1880 down there they had
SOB children, S to II years of age,
to every 1000 adults. New York
State had a ratio of only 1863 to
1000. Yet in the great migratory
trend of the 20s the greatest move
ment took place from these South
eastern States to the New York
metropolitan area.
In fact, Prof. Edwards study con-
tures up the possibility of the New
York of tomorrow being peopled by
hillbillies singing Coming Around
the Mountain" and such ambitious
folk as the woman in Tobacco
Road" who kept harassing her
happy-go- lucky husband until her
dying day to move to Augusta so
the girls could go to work in the
cotton mills and buy her some snuff.
Admittedly these people would slow
the New York tempo down.
Equalization Funds.
The Southeast is not the only
sufferer, though, from what the
Youth Commission calls the dispro-
portionate educational load. As far
as sections of the country go the
Southwest ranks just ahead, but
then there is the disparity when in
dividual States are compared, cities,
communities or urban and farming
areas. Make, any comparison you
like, and wherever there is the least
wealth there is higher ratio of
children to adults. Some States
notably Maryland, have set up
equalization funds in an effort to re-
move the disparity between urban
and rural areas.
The migration from farm to city,
the study points out in seeking to
emphasize the cities responsibility
for the proper education of the farm
youngsters, shows no signs of abat-
ing. AS matter of fact, the way we
are moving to the higher state of
civilization 1t is requiring less people
all the time to raise enough food to
support the population. The oldsters
like to talk about getting back to
the country, but the youngsters
want to get away from it. Even

Some time prior to his death
Robert Brent purchased a tract of

here to take up a course of civil

retired from the Navy in 1850 to
accept the command of the Pacific

capacity he continued until 1861.

Since time immemorial, apparent
ly. the elders have been worrying
about the youngsters and the young
sters have been worrying about the
elders. Only few years ago, when
the greatest concern in this country
seemed to be the number of people
who we're slipping in their luxurious
bathtubs and breaking their necks,
it was sort of a diversion for the
grown-ups to get together at night
and say that the younger element
was certainly going to the dogs.
And in turn the youngsters were
convinced that the fogies and
fogieries (the female of fogie) were
getting so set in their ways that they
would soon dry clean up.
Now. during June week." as the
graduating classes skip happily
through the rotogravure sections, it
wouldn't do the youngsters any
harm to contemplate this about the
oldsters: In that added experience
of theirs they have made their wor-
rying pay.
The business of worrying about
the youngsters has, in fact, become
one of the Nations leading indus
tries. According to the American
Youth Commission, set up in 1885
to find out what all the worrying is
about and just what can be done,
there are roughly 400 agencies in
this country dealing with youth
problems on national scale. There
are slightly more than 21,OO0000
youngsters of the workable age, be-
tween Is and "a years. Up to the
age of 16 the worrying is largely on
an amateur basis, although the 400
agencies do include such as the Y.
M. G. A., the Y. w. G. A. and the
like.

One hot day last summer Whit Burnett,

He found what he felt was the perfect short

Judging by what happened afterward
apparently lot of people agreed with him.
He put it in his magazine. And for the first
time in the eight years that the magazine had
been in existence, every copy of the issue was
sold out within ten days after publication
Hollywood got so excited that when no more
copies of the magazine were available, people
began to run off mimeographed copies of the
story to pass around. Readers Digest picked
it up, and ran condensed version, but still
people weren't satisfied. They wanted to read
the whole story. A publishing firm brought it
out in book form, and it has gone, so far into

demand. Movie companies began to bid on

out in England, and translated into various
foreign languages.
At a conservative estimate, million short
stories are written in the United States every
year. Many of them are good, few of them
are excellent, most of them are pretty terrible.
This one, whether or not it was the perfect
short story turned out to be the one in mil
lion capable of creating nationwide stir.
