National Youth
Week Jan 25-Feb. 2
CHICAGO. — “There’s no better
guarantee for tomorrow than the
cultivation of the spiritual life of our
youth today,” Amory Houghton, pre-
sident, Boy Scouts of America, declar-
ed today in a statement endorsing the
observance of National Youth Week,
Jan. 26-Feb. 2, in the United States
and Canada, sponsored by the United
Christian Youth Movement.
Kirtley F. Mather, professor of geo-
logy, Harvard University, and presi-
dent of the National Council of the
Y.M.C.A., lent a hopeful note when
he pointed out that while science and
technology have given us weapons
making it possible for mankind to com-
mit collective suicide, at the same
time they have opened a new life of
abundance with possibilities for hu-
man welfare transcending dreams of
the past.
Among other leaders of economics,
education, government and religion
endorsing National Youth Week are
Senator James W, Fulbright from
Arkansas, Mayor Lee Price and Judge
John Rogers of Tulsa, Okla., and Dr.
Eugene Briggs, president of Phillips
University, Enid, Okla.
Senator Fulbright pointed out that
a proper sense of values is needed by
youth. “Such understanding,” he stated,
“will enable the leaders of tomorrow
to evaluate, to discriminate, and to
choose between that which is true and
that which is true and that which is
false and illusory in the affairs of
mankind.”
Mayor Price called charact«r-build-
ing the supreme achievement of all
ages, and welcomed National Youth
Week "as a fitting means of rousing
each community to this solemn lesson
of the ages.” Judge Rogers assertod
that youth needs strong spiritual under-
girding and stated that “the predom-
inanc of the market-place mind today
can be overcome only by a renewed
emphasis on spiritual values.” Dr.
Briggs pleaded for training in Christ-
ion leadership, and stated that “in or-
der to have Christian leaders young
people with ability, talent and cour-
age must he discovered, dedicated and
educated in the Christian culture."
The United Christian Youth Move-
ment, administered through the Inter-
national Council of Religious Educa-
tion, represents 10,000.000 youth of
the United States and Canada from
40 Protestant denominations, 35 state
councils of churches, and other youth-
serving agencies such as the Y.M.C.A.
the Y.W.C.A., Boy Scouts of Am-
erica, Girl Scouts, Inc., Camp Fire
Girls and the International Society of
Christian Endeavor.
