AMID the attempts at construction of a social program designed to effect most drastic and permanent changes in American living, a phase of that living which should be of keenest interest to college students has been almost neglected. It has to do with marriage, and more specifically the ages at which marriage is possible under present conditions. As reported in 1930 the medium age for mar riage is slightly over 25 for native white males, and slightly over 22 for native white females. Since then the ages may have advanced still further. In other words, in the society under whose restrictions young men and women of the country grow up, it is necessary, usually for economic reasons, that marriage be postponed several years beyond the time when marriage is normal, natural, and de sirable. Far-sighted social thinkers saw the growth of this problem in the early years of this century, but little has been done in the way of even considering it until comparatively recently. Now, however, with a national administration turning its attention to such matters as have been advocated by sociologists matters of social insurance and co-ordinated pub lic works programs it would seem that the time is most opportune for the consideration of this prob lem so vitally effecting American youth. That it does effect young men and women of the country very definitely can hardly be denied. Every normal boy and girl subjected to repressions imposed by economic considerations, unable to marry because the way to financial independence is so long, constitutes an individual problem. Multiply , the cases to national scale, and where is the stabil- j ity on which a nation must rest? It canont exist. 1 Neuroses do not produce the thing called "citizen- I ship." ON3IDER, fur a moment, a typical case. Here is a boy 20, and a girl 19, both in their first year of college, we shall say. They are in love, and wish to get married, but neither is endowed with an in heritance, and if they should marry, support would rest in their own hands. Neither has a job in pros pect after graduation, and they know having good minds and some knowledge of the world- that mar riage is impossible "for the present," so some sort of agreement is reached to postpone all thoughts of marriage for several years. Perhaps the agreement stands, perhaps it doesn't, but in any case the point remains the same marriage is too often impossible until lung periods beyond the time decreed by nature proper. That is an example of the way the economic re- their consistency at asking "What of it," but in this case the answer is plain. If there is to be any .solu tion to the problem, which ha. been merely outlined, the college! of America themselves must take greater interest In seeking the solution. These and related problems ot marriage have too long been shunned, where they should be foremost on the list of social studies. Campus organizations, too, might very well con cern themselves with the question. If the Y. W. C. A. and V. M. C. A. would spend less time purifying theil member! and more time getting them ready to live in a complex society, perhaps their member ship would not be as limited as it Is now. Churches have an obligation equal to these organizations in dealing with problems of this nature, and the same might lie applied to all the futile undergraduate or ganitatlona that concern themselves with Industrial and technical problems about which they know untiling. Yes. there is plenty to be done in educating for marriage and making an effort to deal with the problem that has been discussed. The question is, will an effort be marie to do it?

If such a desire should make itselt evident, the merger becomes an occasion tor eulogy; it it dosen t. the new combination is only more organized non sense. University Commercial club men themselves have the responsibility of revealing which way the balance will swing. There is certainly little reason to doubt that the new arrangement is opportune, lor never before has there been such a general feeling for sound profes sional organization among vocations which have hitherto jorned the craft unions and laborers' type of organization.

Why do we allow those intrusted with the important task of mold ing the minds of our future citi zens to rank economically below the lowest type of unskilled labor? Yet the road-building program is progressing practically un hampered by meager funds. Some states actually spent ten times as much for highway building as for public education. A reversal of educational values is imperative. For the future good of the individual as well as the na tion the teaching profession must be lifted to a higher financial plane, lest we be faced with educa tional suicide. A balance must be struck where in the disbursement of road build ing ami educational funds will be more equitable, thus giving educa tion the greater financial aid it requires.

This was the origin ol Italian and German fas cism. This Is the basis of any fas cist government which might pos sibly be organized in Austria. Hol land or other European nations. History also records the fact that all fascist movements have sprung up in times ot severe eco nomic depression. The American Legion, reactionary and super-nationalistic, has often been pointed out as the vehiclefor a fascist coup d'etat in this country. This year it rejected the minority proposal of fered by the American admirers of Adolf iiitler and his methods.
