By WILLIAM SCHULZE “Youth today is in a mood to question and to doubt all the atti tudes, customs and institutions on which society has Ibanked—the home, the schools, the church, and the ecenomic order are being doubted and scrutinized,” said Dr. A. Bruce Curry, of New York, addressing the first general meeting of the National Student Conference held in Milwaukee dur ing the past Christmas vacation. That our economic and social or ders are occupying a place of in creasing importance in the minds of the present student generation was evidenced by the following finding, accepted unanimously at the close of the conference: “We be lieve that a larger place should be given in conference programs for industrial land social trips, that more delegates might have the op porunity to take them in. Further more, some consideration should be given to cities where conferences are to be held, with reference to the possibilities of these tours.” The conference was critized by some for not having given economic prob lems the emphasis that was accord ed questions concerning war and the races. The present economic order, based on production for profit and not for use, is wrong, declared some of those in attendance at Milwaukee. “The principles of Jesus put into prac tice would mean the abolition of the profit system,” stated Kirby Page, editor of “The World Tomor row” and speaker at the conference. Of the chief criticisms of our present order one was that our super efficient, machine measured, quan tity worshiping industries are kill ing the personalities of the work ers. The emphasis on the supreme value of the individual human per sonality, as exemplified in the teach ings of Jesus Christ, was declared incompatible with the generally ac cepted attitude that personality finds its greatest development in the domination of others. Our'first duty is to free our own personality and then to find its development in the service of others. It was further asserted that we must find the “golden mean” in a compromise between the attitudes of the orient and the Occident to ward life. To be happy, the oriental transcends the material life, but he is in poverty more than he needs to be because he is not practical We are at it again . 0 ...namely: advertising some more in your own paper. 1 f f f Last year we started with a few ad vertisements and, as we announced, we got a “kick” out of it.

In turn, we westerners im agine we have conquered th world, but in truth the world has con quered us. The minds and hearts of the stu dents were challenged by the view they were privileged to have of the industrial workers they visited in Milwaukee. On^one afternoon four hundred students went through four of Milwaukee’s leading industrial concerns. We investigated the work er's earnings to see if they were getting enough to live in comfort. We investigated working hours, pro tection against sickness and old age, safety devices for workers in dangerous jobs, sharing of profits, and steadiness of employment.

If the labor unions are bad, do not damn them, but participate in their improvement. We in America have grown up with the existing labor conditions, and we do not stop to think whether they are wrong. The nation is now in the grip of a conflict between thdse who have and those who have not property and privilege. It is the duty and privilege of the edu cated youth of today to associate themselves with, and assist those who are poor, oppressed, and ex ploited.
