CREATE PROBLEM
"Nothing We Ever Do Is In
Strict Literalness Wiped
Out " Dean Tells YMCA
Declaring that "the problem
In America is not youth, the
nroblem in America is adults"
and that "we must consecrate
ourselves to the great being be
hind the world." Dean U. u.
Dubach of Oregon State college,
addressing! aunroxlmately 150
nersons at the YMCA annual
meeting at the Masonic temple
last night, pleaded for tne
to be an institution to aid bring
ing up of children "the way God
wants them to be.
Dubach, quoting from eminent
philosophers, brought out that
everything we do matters and
that "nothing we ever do a in
strict literalness wiped out." He
aid that what we do, see ana
hear becomes a part of us. The
dean explained that what one
does makes the human soul bet
ter or worse and that there are
no mediums or neutrals.
Nation In Confusion
He saw the nation In confu
sion and stressed its need for
statesmanship, not politics. Point
ing out the huge facilities of our
nation, Dubach asserted that
these qualities did not make a
country great. Rather, it was a
great people with a great philo
sophy. "What we believe in
and "what we bet our lives on'
makes us great.
The dean stated that he
thought we were running out on
God and that the "one hope for
tha world is to try Christianity."
