He was in troduced by Mrs. M. V. Jones, pro gram leader of the afternoon. ' In reviewing the problems con fronting America in resptect to Youth, Mr. Lanier emphasized the" serious ness of the present situation caused by the unemployment of the millions of boys and girls, who are waiting . impatiently to take their places in ^ the economic structure of this coun try. Giving due credit to medical science for lowering the death rate of infanta and increasing the span of life, Mr. Lanier listed these, however, as rear , sons for the growing numbers in the ranks of Youth, and pointed out,the facts that the inventive genius of America had been turned into a j boomerang taking employment away from millions of workers. Immigration, unrestricted until re- , cent years, and the fact that there are no more frontiers to offer new i opportunities to Youth, were cited j also by the speaker as contributing ( causes to the present unrest. Concluding his address, Mr. Lamer i offered as practical suggestions for i solving these problems, the lengthen- ( ing of the school term to include two 1 years of pest graduate work; large j and properly equipped recreational centers with trained supervisors; the setting up of new industrial frontiers, with new jobs created by new inven tions and the impressing of the ideals ( and principles of the pioneer builders j of these United States of America on ] the minds of the future citizens. ,. - Bringing the program to a delight; , ful conclusion were vocal selections J rendered by Mrs. C, N.
