= hd October 1, 1927 WINNETKA TALK 47 Changing World Has Its Effect on Boy Problem Martin H. Bickham, prominent so ciologist, in speaking before the men enrolled in the training course for Scout leaders and fathers of Scouts, being held at the Glencoe Union church, told the men last Monday eve- ning of the tremendous importance of the sympathetic understanding of the complex forces that come to play in boy life. "Many significant changes have taken place in American life during the last twenty years," he stated. "Our world is their world, but with a differ- ent perspective. The background of the present world is of vast signifi- cance to boy life. The urbanization of life in America creates many changes. Nine million people live within a fifty mile radius of New York city. Four milion within a forty mile radius of State and Madison streets. "Great changes have come in our conception of the human being or per- sonality. The position of America has changed in the contemporary world. Our isolation is gone. No one can live entirely as an individual. We live to- gether. We are all a part of each other's life. These changing factors in the background of America are of deep and abiding significance to boy life." Mr. Bickham spoke of the idealism that bound the north shore communi- ties together in the united team work of scouting. The course continues on each Mon- day, Wednesday, and Friday uight until October 7. Evening Rush Hour Time of Most Motor Mishaps Available statistics show that the largest number of accidents occur be- tween five and six in the afternoon when business men and workers are returning hurriedly to their homes, ac- cording to the accident department of the Chicago Motor club. At this period of the day congestion on the streets and highways is at its height. The psychological phase also enters into the fact that accidents are numerous at this hour, Drivers and pedestrians who are wearied from a day's work are not as mentally alert as during the earlier hours of the day, and as a rule, are in a hurry to reach their homes. Confusion and careless- ness result, and, from them, accidents. Men's Club Representatives Meet With N. T. Boy's Club The first meeting of the year of the New Trier Tri-Ship club was held last Thursday evening when members of the club had as their guests repre- sentatives of the various men's organ- izations on the north shore. The meeting was held for the pur- pose of fostering a more cordial re- lationship between the men's clubs and the high school club and in order to allow the members of the organiza- tions to plan for a more extensive co- operation in the promotion of move- ments in the interest of the commun- itv.
