Recently he was walklnfl 7-“ Sutton High Street when a ymms man with _a little girl in his arms y spoke to hlm and he discovered one ,of his old Scouts whom he knew 1.15 a ragged little urchin livimr 1R lthe back streets of Hoxton.

He lis- ‘toned to their histoly and while he “no not; suggest trxlt it all rmulted lfrom Scouting in the purlleus of Hoxton, he felt it might have con- Lributied to the result.

What ls this business of the Ser- vice of Youth? I suppose it would be true to say that the youth of the

.country are its greatest national asset. What they are the race will ‘be. The future is being made now, and yet I think it will be true to isay tnat perhaps we have not hith- ierto done the best we might with ,this most valuable and vital nat- fional asset. _ When you look back you flnd 11 very curious thing in educational history. All our educational advan- 1 ces have been associated either with wars or times of war. We all know that the conditions of’ war do ac- entuate the problems of youth. ivhen the present war began ln the zlitlunn of 1939' there were naturally very aodmls fears that the work of the great voluntary organizations. the Boy Scouts, Girl Guides, Ilrf- glides. Y.M.C.A. and so on. might 'be subjected to great setbacks, shortage of money, workers. and premres, and it was Just at the time when their work was most des- perately needed. The President of [the Board of Education took steps to try to meet this danger and he set up a National Youth Commit- ‘tee, of which the Chairman today its one of the members. This has been followed by the creation all lover the country of a very large lnumb-er of local Youth Committees which bring together the voluntary lorganizations, local education au- - fhorlties, churches, chapels and oth- . era interested, to work in coopera- tion to see what can be done to look after the young folk in their ulc-llzhbourhood. Thev are (hnrged with a definite responsibility to see that so for as may be. desnite all

the strains and stresses of war the young folk shall continue to have some care and interest shown to- wards them.

Tho immediate object was to se- cure that the work o’ these bodies was maintained as fully as possible, or even extended, and grants have been made available through the Board by the Elxehequer to assist them. I am glad to say that, des- pite the undoubted difficulties, .here has been a really substantial nerease in the work of looking af- fer young people. The purpose ln view is not just some war-time em- ergency measure. lt is n. great mis- take to think this is simply a wor- tlme job. This Seryice of Youth is definitely linked up with the edu- cational system. For the first time a full and formal recognition is being given to the question of the leisure of time adolescent; it is a matter of State concern. As you all know, the grent mass of children in this country leave school at about the MN of 14; only a small pro-

rtton have any education or any

d of educational supervision af- ter that age. Quite large numbers belolng to different juvenile organi- zatlons, such as those I have men- tioned, but something like two- thirds of the young folk are not linked up in that way, and when they leave school are really turned

adrift. Too often. as a result, the foundations. which are not bad foundations. laid tn the ordinary

ele-lrlontafy school. are not built up- on and a great deal of our educa_ tlonal effort runs to waste, It is fl. great mistake to think that cducl- tion can be, or ts, finished at l4. I am not suggesting that full-time education is a thing which should go on indefinitely; what I mean is that education is not something which ls confined to the four walls of a classroom, nor is it primarily the business of imparting liitle specific (loses of knowledge. The procemyof education is to provide an environment in which young people can grow, and the object is to create in them a right attitude of mind. Our business is to see that they are properly tended and ev- entually hardened off like plants. fit to take their place in life. The Scr- vice of Youth is a pflTtllPl‘.‘.|2l]1 be- tween voluntary workers. the lo- cal authorities and the State. and it has to secure the provision of an environment in leisure time for all YOIIRL! people who have passed out 0f full-time school into the world of employment. We are not out m molly-coddle them or give them a "Qood time"; the aim is something rather different. What are the qualities we want to see maintain- ed or developed in young people? I suggest there are three: self-reli- ance, self-forgctfulness and self possession, and I believe they are all essential in the makeup of f" good citizen. The question you misht ask would be: Is the work in this organization going to cori- tribute to the development oi these qualities of tile good citizen?

First, self-reliance. I am not sure that one of the things we need most in these days is not some sort of antidote to the evils of urban civilization. It was an American social worker who said that t1ll"e‘l‘ modern conditions of city life tile spirit of youth is apt to break down or break out. I think the encour- agement which is iven in so many of our boys’ organ zations to activi- ties such as camping, lukirlg, inter- est in outdoor life generally, does much to redress the balance as 1t provides an outlet for that spirit of adventure. the spirit of the pioneer, which might to exist in the minds of most healthy boys, and if tllev do not get that outlet they find an- other, which is generally a cause of trouble. But more important is at that young ple should have within themselves their own sources

' safeguard against the possible dan-

this country is due to llteer i nor- allce and shear neglect. It aways seems to me preposterous that a young man can spend endless time. endless patience and endless in- quiry in cleaning and maintaining his motor cycle while not having the faintest spark of interest. or the least care for the much more wonderful mechanism of his own body. That is what happens far too often. We shall do something whlcl. is really worth while if we can persuade the young folk of the countlytgxhatstittlst; any uitgneselé _ and to o a c ea v an avoid unmanly ways of life. I think l {slllitt ls a very good gospel to offer I ‘oun .

0TH: lylfixt Eluality ls self-forgetful- ness. The war has brought to light a very widespread readines to serve among the whole community. and certainly not least among the young- er element. I very deliberately say "brought to light" and not "brought into being" because I believe that the desire is there, very often lat- ent, lacking the opportunity, the stimulus to bring it into action. It is the very basis of democratic cit- lZCIISlIlPi this selé-forget-fulness, Bfld we mou d give i every opportun ty in its development. All the volun- t-ary juvenile organizations include some form of service in their ac- tivities. Boys and girls are attract- ed to the notion of doing some- thing, they do not want to feel out pf 1t. is IlIllllIIgtfiXDXlESSilOH in the orma on of You Serv cc groups —bands of young people getting to- gether to see what they can do i110" qrtlcsis outsidte 1th? front tdoonhva- rlc y s essen la , or wla we ave here is not a new youth movement. it is something more vital, lt is a movement of youth itself, and the variety of local colour. local inter- est and form, is, I believe, a. great

gers‘ which might be inherent in any national youth movement such as is talked about. We do not want our young people to be regtmented. we want them to grow in their in- dividual capacities, not to be put into one particular little mould. When we come to anything in the way of texts or morals for adoles- cents I believe it is tremendously important to go for practice and not for preaching. The first lessons in good citizenship may well be learned in the Scout troop or the Girl Guides, where the boy or girl becomes a member of a small com- munify. ‘II e microcosm of the club can be widened to the town, village or even the State.

Then there is the third quality- self-porsession. I think it is an awful pitv that we have to talk a.- bout the service of youth, youth movements and so on. and I feel a great sympathy with the writer of a letter to The Times in which he said he would be depressed if he were lumped together in an amor- phous mass. It will not do any harm if we always keep in mind that we are not dealing with youth as some kind of abstraction. but as a number of separate individuals, and what we have to do therefore ls not to train up youth or handle it as if it were some kind of army, but to remember the individual boy and girl, to enable them to have their being so that they can grow and bring their ifts to full fruit.

That, I think, lsmisses the three qualities. What are We doing to stimulate this service? Quite a, lot is going on and it might be thought. to be comparatively easy when there is the stimulus of the war and ilze numerous opportunities which the war opens up But is this fl. temporary gromth? Anybody who talks about the future» is a bold man, bllt unfortunately my Presi- dent has on more than one occasion made speeches saving what is in his mind with regard to educational developments after the war.

The Future of Education

First of all. the school-leaving age will be raised, whim means a bet- ter foundation and a better life for the young children of the country and narrows the gap between school time and manhood. But from the point of view of what we are dis- cussing a still more important de- velopment which one hopes will fol- low would be to put into operation something which has been on the: Statute Book for over twenty years, but has not been operated, and lllat is the provision of day continua- tion schools whereby all young peo- plc can bekcpt under some meas- ure of education, training, medical supervision and welfare care gener- ally up to 18. That seems to me to change the whole picture of the l so-callcd problem of the adoles- cent. A day continuation school to my mind will not be just a school open so mnnv hours a week. but linked up with it and built round it should be n‘l this service of youth. There you have a focal point at which we should be able to bring together the voluntary and statutory effort. The day cont nuation school which is compulsory and service which is voluntary have to be brought together: I do not think it. is a task beyond t? wit of man. and so far as we o it we shall be able to build up a complete or- ganizntion which would enable the young people of the country really to have what they ought to have.

‘There ls sometimes a tendency to think that all this business of getting on with the educational de- velopment of the country or the de- welopmcnt of the vouth service, lwhizll ls part of the educational de- velopment of the country, is a busi- ness for the education people, the local education authorities. and so on. Do not let us take that line: ‘the

of interest; they should be able in organize their owrl social activities, pursue their own hobbies.

rue life of the club. the life ilfl the Scout troop. the indoor games.‘ the outdoor games, the dramatic soclct , all help to create the power i of eel -entertainment and the ability to extract enjoyment from com- paratively simpie pursuits and, we hope, to get back to a simpler kind of life. Wonderful work is being. done in the handicraft instruction‘ which we give in the schools, but too often when the children lcavc they lose the opportunity of using their hands. If we can do anything to keep alive a sense of craftsman- ship, of having a personal standard below which they do not let them- selves fall, if we can t back to. that, I believe we shal o a way to kee alive and st ula-‘c a quality w ch will make for con- ltenltiltnent, satisfaction and success n e.
