40 Y(UTH FINDS HOME - SYSTEM BROKEN S ‘Sees World Today Through Eyes Almost as Practical as Those of Parents. By the Associated Press GENEVA, December 14.—The little red schoolhouse and all that its sim- Plicity implies has been shoved off the picture by “the rebellion of youth. which sees the world today through eyes nearly as practical as were those of their parents of the old-fashioned days of the past. i Conclusions of u questionnaire cir- culated by the Y. M. C. A. in 36 coun- tries show that modern youth be- lleves the old home system of Western civilization has completely broken down, that parents do not understand real “home-making” as they did for- merly and that the children of the present are not inclined to submit to suthority unless they can be shown good cause. Base Discipline on Love. The questionnaire was amplified by the discussions of the “Parliament of Youth” at Helsingsfors last August, at which 46 nations were represented. The results have been circulated by Y. M. C. A. headquarters here. The only discipline worth any thing in the home ‘now, vouth is shown to be convinced, is based on respect and Jove and not on fear. As to how far youth should be allowed to go making its own decisions opinion was divided. Youth made it clear that it is not prepared to accept decisions made by men in years past. Youth wants lead- ership, but leadership based on under- standing, not on tradition or a mere difference in age. Hit Business Ethics. Many boys said they had found it l,lmasl) m?;mmm to live Christian Jives and at thc same time remain true to the business ethics of their employers. Harder still had they found it during long periods of un- employment. Bpuly;:"ioflly among all the problems of youth was given to that of sex, for these among other reasons: Great changes in all countries since the, war; revision of sex standards; mollern eraze for sports and dancing: modern passion for freedom at all cost; exceptional surplus of women since the war weakened parental con- trol; influence of bad films and litera- ture and sex drama. Dancing was condemned by some representatives, but the Anglo-Saxons in general regarded dancing, under proper_supervision, as healthy and a matural means of social intercourse. Decree Gives Wife Cfidten. Justice Stafford yesterday awarded an interlocutory decree of absolute divorce to Mrs. Mary.E. R. English from Theodore J. Ehglish. They were married August 30, 1919.

Mrs. Wells, ga ing at a windowful of new wallpaper designs, turned at the sound of Polly’s small hurrying footsteps and gave a word of greet- ing. Thoroughly busy with affairs of their own, these two representative Polly, whose presence apparently was fof_small importance in the town. Polly, with her basket on her arm the grocery store. A loaf bread, a can of salmon and a pound of tea were all that she intended to buy, although she glanced wistfully at ‘the tempting early Spring display of fruits and vegetables. Mrs. Pome- roy buying grapefruit and the grocer was genfally helping her select the largest and*julclest specimens, vet he took time to give Polly a nod and a smile. Even though Polly’s pur- would amount to little and . Pomeroy’s to much she received the same special attention. Why was it? She was a small, shabby woman of 50 with only the tiniest income to manage on, a woman, it séemed, who might easily be over- looked anywhere she appeared. But Polly was never overlooked, although she never made herselt obvious. There was a light in her dark eyes, a qual- ity to her smile," a sparkle to her speech that commanded attention. In fact, Polly had that great gift—per- sonality. The outer Polly might be plain, poer, old, shabby, but the inner Polly was fine, clear, beautiful, and the bright inner Polly shone through the dim outer Polly. As Polly emerged from the grocery store with her basket, she met her cousin, Mary I was stout, flaccid, gloomy-cyed. * She was three years younger than Polly, a widow, but_childless. 5 * she began, “do you think we're going to get a share in Cousin Ed’s property?” " Polly answered.

Scarlet geranfums, books, dainty curtains, a few pictures made up the main adornment. And, of course, there was always Polly herself. She was happy turning that can of salmon_into crisp brown croquettes, nappy brewing her tea and turning the humble loaf into crunchy toast, happy opening a jar of gingered pears and cutting her “poor man's” cake. Mrs. Bates, the recipient of this hos pitality, was happy, too, for it was the quality of the entertainment rather than the quantity that im- pressed her. “1 heard they'd found Ed Dix's will, Polly,” she said. “And that it isn't a bit like the old one.” ?" said Polly, busy at her “Must be it's just hap- Have you any idea how he was worth, Polly?” Never thought a word about it, Mrs, Bates.
