PROBLEMS OF YOUTHS
SCHOOLING SYSTEM
Private Grant Of Eight Hundred Thousand
Dollars Is To Finance Investigations
(By The Associated Press)
WASHINGTON, Sept. 14—The creation of a special
commission to investigate present day youth problems which
“may constitute a fundamental threat to our national wel
fare” was announced Friday by the American Council of
Education. It said that an eight hundred thousand dollars
private grant would finance a five term inquiry to deter
mine where the school system in the United States is out
of joint with current social and economic conditions, and
prescribe remedies.
Announcing the plan, Dr George F. Zook, President ol
the Council, stressed “the part that youth plays in the pre
sent day crisis.” He said that of all the arrests reported in
1934—i 14,233, or thirty-seven and a half percent of them
were under twenty-five years of age and fifteen and one-ten
th percent were under twenty.
“There are no social agencies equipped to provide ade
quate supervision for the protection of these young people,”
said President Zook.
The commission is composed of fourteen leaders of soc
ial, literary, legal and educational fields, and includes New
ton D. Baker, Robert M. Hutchins, president of the Univer
sity of Chicago; John W. Studebaker, federal Commissioner
of Education, and Dorothy Canfield, fisher and author. The
Commission will hold its first meeting this coming Monday.
WASHINGTON
CURRENT
COMMENT
August 22, 1935.
Congress has entered upon what
is said to be the final week of its
session. Perhaps the papers do not
reflect accurately the attitude of the
lawmakers, but if the lawmakers
thiink as the papers write about
them, there is reason for looking
with something other than complete
approval at the highest legislative
body in the land. The statement
that Congress will “jam through-’ *
important laws leaves a bad taste
in the mouth. It seems that agree
ment upon the time for adjourning
will have somehing to do with that
important event. The farmer and
the hired man do not ordinarily
agree that the milking shall cease
at six o’clock. The milking is done
when the last cow is drained. The
scramble peculiar to the last days
of a session of Congress detracts
from the dignity of that body and
lowers its place in the public es
teem.
The bark of Will Rogers, outward
bound, has passed beyond the limits
of the horizon. He reached and
maintained the height of his popu
larity during a stern time, when the
faces of men were set and their
hearts burdened wth the uncertain
ty of tomorrow. Into the tenseness
of the depression, the dead come
dian injected a needed and relaxing
humor, always wholesome and
clean. He was rewarded here by the
friendship of a whole nation. For
every good and perfect work there
must be likewise a reward hereaf
ter.
The friction between Italy and
Ethiopia moves on a pace toward
the stage of active warfare. Mr.
Mussolini throws a monkey wrench
into the peace machinery by declar
ing flatly that nothing but an arm
ed force in the African territory will
answer the purpose. England is said
to be ready to quash its embargo on
munitions. The Duce admonishes
his soldiers to crush all before
them and shouts that the hour of de
stiny as struck for Italy. A good
many years ago, William Jennings
Bryan delivered an address in which
he pointed out the danger of arrang
ing a course of action upon the
theory that destiny was involved.
At the beginning of the Christian
era, the soldiers of the country that
is now Italy were walking girded
over the surface of the civilized
European world, and it looked as
though the power of the Caesars

UNDATED, Russia, Sept. 14—'The
Little Entente, the Balkan Entente,
the Baltic States, all raised their
voices before the League Assembly
in defense of the League Covenant,
thus swelling into imposing propor
tion the protest of the world's na
tions against Italian invasion of
Ethiopia.
Britain, France, Belgium, Nether
lands, Sweden and Argentina, have
already announced their intention
to support the covenant. Such sup
port implies the possibility of impos
ing sanctions on Italy should the
League decide that the Italians are
guilty of aggression against Ethio-,

The Italian cabinet however, re

the solution of the trouble and also

In British circles it is believed
that France will demand further
support from Britain in Central Eur
