A small musical program has been arranged by Mrs. Morton Mergentheim, News of the North Shore Clubs | |F#i| At Woman's Club The Winnetka Woman's club held the first meeting of the New Year, Tuesday, January 4, with Mrs. Arthur Cushman presiding. After the usual preliminary business, Mrs. Cushman turned the meeting over to the chair- man of the committee on civics and philanthropy, Mrs. Edwin E. Brown, who introduced the speaker of the day, Haridas Muzumdar of Bombay, India. The subject of the address was "Youth and the New Social Order." Mrs. Brown in introducing Mr. Mu- zumdar, remarked that "to see our- selves as others see us," though always it might not be pleasant, was doubtless beneficial and that Mr. Muzumdar dur- ing his six years in this country had had ample opportunity for observation. He began his talk by stressing the importance of this friendly mutual ob- servation and direct, personal contact, especially among the students of the world. Mr. Muzumdar also pointed out the fact that perspective makes it easier to see the faults of a nation. "Youth being an elusive spirit rather than a matter of years," Mr Muzumdar declined to define it, but ascribed to it certain attributes. "Youth," he said, "is both educable and un-educable, idealistic and egoistic, and above all, vouth is plastic. This plasticity is a great asset since this is a changing, fluent universe and demands of us much readjustment." Mr. Muzumdar also limited his discussion of youth to those intellectually alive and aware of world problems. Tracing briefly the social heritage of the Occident and Orient, Mr. Muzum- dar finds that from this heritage the vouth derives certain present day char- acteristics. According to Mr. Muzumdar, the vouth of the Occident tends to acqui- sitiveness, to the "sanctification of the profit motive," to the idealization of the nation, right or wrong, to the idea that brute force is the best way to con- trol erring humanity. On the other hand, the youth of the Orient is non- acquisitive, it respects scholarship rather than profit, tends to a decen- 'ralization of power and to non-vio- lence. The West's lasting contribution to the world Mr. Muzumdar finds in the scientific spirit, but to the proper aim of this spirit he finds the masses not vet awake. The aim of the scientific spirit should be the betterment of hu- manity, never destruction, he stated. "If youth is to help in a new social order, it must pursue the truth," said Mr. Muzumdar. This is the teaching nf all the great leaders of the world's thought, be it Greek philosophers, Tesus Christ, or Gandhi in the present day. The core of Gandhi's teaching is "non-violence, truth, love." This pur- «uit of truth must be a personal matter. The mere "organization" of a Youth Movement, Mr. Muzumdar pointed out, will achieve little. The urge must come from within. This personal pursuit of truth will demand sacrifice and self- discipline. The youth of the Occident must use its scientific spirit rightly, and must curb its tendency to impose its "truth" upon others. The Oriental vouth must insist upon self-determina- tion and guard against the tendency to use western forms of truth without regard to the social heritage of the Fast, he declared. In conclusion, Mr. Muzumdar sum- med up the hope for youth and its new social order, in the recognition of the Child Specialist Will Speak at Club Dr. Baxter's Lecture Open to All Mothers of Pre-School Children Monday evening, January 10, Dr. George Edwin Baxter will speak on "Problems in the Management of the Pre-School Child," at the Wilmette Woman's club at 8 o'clock.
