10 GIBSON T0 DELIVER SERIES OF TALKS High School Students Will Hear Boston Philosopher. First Address Wednesday. Thousands of pupils of Washington high schools and preparatory institu- tions, as well as many members of adult organizations here, will be ad- dressed this week and next by H. W. Gibson of Boston, practical philosopher, author and lecturer, who has devoted many years to study of the problems of youth. Brought here by the local Young Men’s Christian Association for a series of talks to boys and girls of school age and their parents and other adults in- terested in the highest development of real home life, Mr. Gibson will deliver inspirational addresses before many groups arranged through co-operation of school officials and organization leaders. The 60-year-old boys' leader, who has made a specialty of “boyology,” is well known in Washington, having made a similar whirlwind speaking tour through the city last Spring, when he delivered a stirring defense of the younger gen- eration and voiced criticism of parents who do not stay at home long enough “to get acquainted with their children.” He is, in fact, a champion of youth and denies that boys and girls of today are any worse than those of yesteryears. Honored by Re-election. ‘This year he was honored by bein, re-elected president of the Camp Di rectors’ Association of America for the third term despite the fact not eligible, the constitution of the asso: ciation being amended to make his re- election possible. The well filled schedule of his forth- coming addresses here, which is well nigh as imposing as that of a political campaign orator, has been arranged by James C. Ingram, boys' department di- rector of the Y. M. C. A. The climax of the series of addresses will come at a “fathers and sons” ban- quet to be held at the Building, 1736 G street, next Saturday evening at 6 o'clock, when he will take as his topic “Chumming With Dad.
