Editorial
What is the matter with the youth of this day? Is it any
worse, any more frivolos, any giddier than the youth o*f
any other time? t>r is all this merely the talk of oíd timers
who cannot understand a new age with its new standards?
A number of prominent university leaders have been in
vestigating, ami from their insight into college undergrad
uate lite, they speak with wools of significance. They say
that college' students are more' inteivsted in dances, amuse
ments. and class activities than in culture and learning. In
fact they issue a sweeping indictment of this generation,
for students are' typical present day young folks.
“t'ollegt is no longer a place for those who wish to be
come cultured. It is a social practice ground”, said Dr.
Robert C. Angell, I niversity of Michigan, in a report to
President Burton.
“A tradition is being established outside Wisconsin that
we are a bunch of cake eaters.” declared Dean Scott H.
Cioodnight of the University of Wisconsin. “Does not our
record of parties and dances go to substantiate this tra
dition?”
A statement from another source was: “The mothers re
gare! the university as a good matrimonial bureau, and ac
cordingly they send their daughters here.”
Editorials in some university publications place the
blame for low cu'tui .f. stamfavis r.ot upon the students but
upon incompetent instructors. And the battle goes niemly
on. Some extremists go so far as to claim that the old viril
ity of American life is disapyvaring in the foppishness and
thrill mania of the present as show :-, in the conduct of col
lege students.
Bui in the humble opinion of the editor, this isn't so seri
ous after all. Young people al heart are no< much different
tkHiay than they were' in the olden times. Human nature
changes but little from age to age. and therein lies both the
hope ami task of the present It is as difficult for any force
er tendency to cause people in the mass to deterrcrate sud
denly as it is to cause them to improve quickly.
Perhaps si'me young fo ks have taken the old adage,
"all u\xrk and no play makes Jack a dull boy»” a little too
seriously —that’s all.

Thrifty Youth
A NEW DEADLY DISEASE
MODERN YOUTH
r
No doubt this man was no more blind than most of us
here in Vernonia. The writer is of the opinion that there
is plenty of wealth and opportunity to be found ri^ht here
in our community and some day some man of vision will
come along and see what all of us should have seen long
ago.
The greenest pastures are always further up the hill, i
“Distance lends enchantment’’ In other w’ords we think
that we must travel far away to find opportunities.
But opportunity is everywhere—nearby and far away.
If you lack the necessary vision you will not find fame or
fortune by traveling to the far corners of the world. If you
have vision you will probably find just what you most de
sire right here in Vernonia.
There is a new disease in America today that is more
dangerous, more contagious and more wide-spread than
any black plague, flu or other noxious malady that ever
visited moral beings.
Its effects are: First a warping of the mind so that it
fails to realize consequences. This comes from contact
with those already afflicted with the disease.
Next conies the deadening of the morals of its newly
contaminated victims.
Then comes the decline that finally will lead to the
uttermost depths of mental depravity, moral degradation
ami physical decay.
Those who are suffering from this terrible malady in
its advanced stages will resort to any crime to satisfy its
unquenchable thirst.
Speed, thrills, excitement ami more excitement are the
only palliatives that will quiet the demands of this arch
fiend of today.
Ordinary thrills cease to suffice and even murders have
been committed merely to satisfy the depraved cravings
of some of its victims.
The Nation was shocked from coast to coast when the
news was carried that a 15-year-old girl, a victim of this
plague, had killed her own mother in order that she
could indulge in the debaucheries demanded by her di
seased condition.
“Jazz-Mania” is spreading with unprecedented rapid
ity. The younger generation are being contaminated hour
ly*. The homes of once happy families are crumbling from
the decaying influence of this arch enemy of civilization.
If this’ disease can be legislated aw ay, now is the time
for our state legislators to act.
If education alone will eliminate this unhealthy con
dition. “in the name of civilization”, it’s time for all forc
es to begin to educate.
Parepts associations, womens clubs, churches and the
schools can find no subject more deserving of their efforts
than an active campalp1
education for the suppression
of this blight on our civilization.
