GENEVA IS MECCA OF EARNEST YOUTH Problems of World Attract Students From All Countries Geneva--While not in any sense an "educational institution" fin it- self, although it recogizes as its greatest guarantee for the future the development of "peace psychol- ogy" in the youth of to-day, the League of Nations is becoming a sort of training school for many seriousminded youths of various countries. During the past two years sever- al prominent Americans--sons of families whose names are ' house- hold words--have spent an, appren- ticeship in the League secretariat. Actually they have secured bona- fide jobs on the League's staff. working for months at meagre sal- aries in order that they mright learn how the wheels are going around in the greatest political experiment in history. Notable Clerks John D. Rockefeller, II, heir to perhaps the world's greatest for- tune, spent the past summet as $100 per month assistant in the in- formation section. The fact that his father had given the League $2,- 000,000 for a library, and was con- tributing practically all the expen- ses of the health section meant nothing either to young "J. D, III" as he was known, nor to his col- leages. He put in his eight hours at his desk, did his work exceed? ingly well, found romance: during his holidays and week-ends, and re- turned to Princeton University in the fall to complete his education. Curtis Bok, also heir-apparent to millions of his grandfather, Cyrus Curtis, owner of New York, Phila- delphia, and other newspapers and periodicals, and his father, Edward Bok, philanthropist, preceded Rockefeller and is now practicing law in Philadelphia. The latest new-comer to Geneva is James W. Thornton, son of Sir Henry Thornton, Canadian Nation- al Railways head. Thornton, having finished his schooling at the Royal Military College at Kingston 1s looking at the other side of the pic- ture. The peace machinery of the League, as well as its technical branches which are designed to promote international co-operation rather than national- rivalries, is receiving his special attention. First From Canada Thornton is the first Canadian youth to come to Geneva. His fath- er one of the world's foremost rail- way officials, recently accepted a position on the Transit and Com- munications Committee of the Lea- gue--a committee charged with un- tangling the multitudinous inter- national complications that make transit and communications {n Fur- ope, with its scores of frontiers, so difficult. Having been converted almost immediately to the potentialities of the League as an instrument for promoting international under- standing, and realizing the impor- tant part the Geneva organization might play in the future history of the world, Sir Henry immediately decided that it was the place for his son--and all other youth of the oncoming generation who will have to tackle an increasingly complicat- The Original Phone 85 TAXI 7 Passenger Cars Stand o ) Middleton's Garage 11 Church St. Prop.

Study Centre Of late Geneva has become very popular as a "post-graduate" cent- re, for students interested in politi- cal as well as economic, financial and social problems. The summ- er school --chief of which is the Geneva School of International Stu- dies--has been followed by the Un- iversity of International Relations, which is in session throughout the winter. During its 1927 session the sunrmer school: had enrolled 355 students coming from 130 different universities. Of this group 184 were ery country in the world. The lec- turers, drawn from 20 national- ities, discussed primarily world pro- blems, but threw on these prob- lems perspectives from a score of angles. : Through its Intellectual Co-oper- ation Section the League encourag- es all forms of "International edu- cation" in Geneva and elsewhere, but obviously it cannot offer "tem- porary jobs" to any larg: number of students. Those who manage to "break through?" are lucky. but the chances are good for those who can give proof of their sincerity and serious-mindedness.
