Prédicating his remarks on Service to Youth, the speaker asked: What do we owe them, what can we do for them, what may we expect from them?&His theme was developed by poixTting out that 40 per cent of our youth examined for military service were rejected on physical and mental grounds and many ac- cepted were of low I.Q. This was indictment of our past neglect. Men now returning, age 20-25 we look upon as veterans. But they and youth in schools will be the leaders tomorrow. Now we are creating advanced facilities for their training in phy- sical and educational spheres but have not created the same'induce- ments for the development of the spiritual. The speaker pointed out that Hitler set up and glorified physical training, seized schools for state direction, and crushed the spiritual by suppressing the church. The lesson is before us. The next 25 years will determine whether we have profited by that example. The alarming incidence of ju- venile crime simply boils down to the fact that youth are not given adequate supervision and direction at this day. The respon- sibility is not with the children but with their upbringing. There is no use hiding our heads in hor- ror. We must meet our responsi- bilities. Quoting a newspaper story, Dr. Seeley disclosed that in Toronto alorqe there were 1,344 cases before juvenile courts in 1944, and yet the city abounded with parks, rinks and play- grounds. The physical was cared for, the spiritual neglected. But there was, fortunately, a movement on foot today, the Can- adian Youth Commission, founded two and a half years ago, that was lines. Growing and spreading it attacking the problem on spiritual is becoming the greatest force for spiritual revival across the na- tion. Surveys are being under- taken, briefs submitted, changes effected, that hold the highest hope for restoration of spiritual values among youth. Local groups are springing up, allied with churches and clubs and co-operat- ing with boards of education. Quoted were instances of amazing results and the scheme is within the reach and competence of ev- ery community. Allied with this movement and designed for a balance in results aimed at is the National Fitness Council, which, sponsored by the Dominion and hopeful of co-oper- ation with the provinces, wili fur- ther the objectives, wholly upon a non - racial, non - denominational basis; the only basis upon which such a national campaign can suc- cessfully be predicated. Fighting' shy of ra'cial and religious diff- erences, there can be developed a plan of character building that develops the true values in life. Concluding, Dr. Seeley observed that we should accept the idea of life as a trust in which we owe a highest duty to' God and our fel- lowmen. We have been empha- sizing too greatly the physical and n mental and too grievously ne- . glecting the spiritual. Surely we Il have the political capacity and e the social wisdom to correct our t shortcomings of the past in our s approach to the needs of youth. e Let us make that clear to them, - now. o The thanks of the gathering for r. an address of uplift and inspira- - tion which imparted seeds for n profound thought, were express- -ed by Harry Cryderman.
