It is the' operation of the pioneer
spirit in the chanped environment of
today which causes trouble.
"In the field of medicine, some of
the influence of the pioneer has been
thrown off. The spontaneous doc
tor, the volunteer soldier are disap
pearing. Purinp the war it was
realized that the volunteer soldiery
was unsatisfactory. But the field of
law has not yet recopnized it. With
the present rumblinps against injus
tice in the bip. cities, law way follow
medicine and demand more than r
minimum of training.
"We realize that there is some
thing neeessary today that the pio
neer spirit didn't understand. We
may not a steady groping for the at
tainment of that objective.
'Our whole politic presupposes the
pioneer condition in which it grew
up. It presupposes a people m close
touch with public men and affairs, e
people capable of rising to any exin
ency. But the condition our politic
presupposes is lacking in our citites
today.
"What was the motive that gave
the farmer his vital interest in poli
tics? It was his recreation. Where
the present city dweller has one
thousand Distractions to one for the
old pioneer. When politics has be
come intricate and involved, we can-1
not expect the modem citizen to take I
a lively and vital interest in politics.
Concerning the administration of
justice, Dean Tound said in part, 1
"The root of the trouble is in pio- j
neer institutions trying to meet the
complex needs of metropolitan life
of today. The methods of adminis
tration sprang from the pioneers of
one hundred years ago. Their forms
are unsatisfactory today.
.'The frist act of every pioneer
community was the foundation of a
system of public schools. Great
things are due to the pioneer educa
tion. But they were as reckless
here as elsewhere. Their reckless
ness is forcing us to rebuild where
they erred, and the rebuilding is of-,
ten painful. There had been too i
much crowding of the humanities
from the schools at a time when the
world is crying for such culture
Too much attention has been paid to
"bread and butter" subjects.
"More and more we must learn ad
ministration of this country along
every line and more particularly in
law and government. We must
guide men in times and places where
a course of action cannot be weigh
ed. Already we have begun such
work in traffic signals and similar
activities.
'To administration, the pioneer
had always been adverse. He want-
aH nnl the minimum of control, or
receiving of orders. Now we must
learn to administer. Poor legisla
tion is one of the greatest handicaps
to effective administration. Ana
poor legislation is the outbreak of
the pioneer spirit trying in its rest
less virility to solve our problems.
"But after all I believe, that these
qualities of the pioneer hold a greut
deal for us. It is not impossible
that this restlessness of the pioneer
may keep us alive in a mechanical
age. We seem to be entering an era
of business and industrial pioneer
ing. The better qualities of the pio,
neer coming out may make it pos
sible to solve the problem facing us.
In closing his address Dean Pound
Haid, "The pioneer had no aogmus,
no precepts. He lenew it was the
spirit which gave life while absolute
precepts and dogmas stifle ana khj.

The second question arising was
the question of war and how it can
be eradicated. The convention de
cided that war should be outlawed,
and adopted a resolution stating
their beliefs. The race question was
discussed very fully by the conven
tion. "Any church that makes a race
discrimination is not Christianlike.
Christians should think more of hu
manity and less of heaven, one of the
speakers advised. In regard to mis
sions one of the foreign students at
the conference asserted that Ameri
ca exploits countries to which she
sends missionaries," reported Mr.
Marti. "It was suggested that stu
dents take their graduate work in the
country in which they are going to
work in order to overcome the feel
ing of antagonism.
"The church is after all with all of
its failures and defects the best ag
ency for working with humanity and
it is the dut of the young people
of today to get into the church and
work with it," concluded Mr. Marti.
"The church is facing a failure,"
