Tn hi Mr ru- spoke of the universal Impulse to play and how the intelligent direc tion of . the Impulse could become of such great value. Giving Youth Attention "Seldom has the youth been given as much attention as today," he said. "Wherever one goes, one hears about youth movements, young people's associations, young hikers' clubs, recreational youth ;enttes, youth hostels, etc, and, besides the organizations already mentioned, we can add Boy Scouts Girl Ouldes. Y. M. C A, Y. W. C. A Wanderfogel (wandering birds). Cubs and many more. "Before I deal with problems here in Canada and discuss with you our Provincial Recreation Centres In British Columbia, let us look around In the world and find out more about what Is behind the various youth movements and then go back to Canada and see if, in spite of no accent on the word 'movement,' we are not doing just s well as In most other countries. "It Is to Oermany we must travel to get first hand Information on youth movements. The first real movement of the modern world was started as far back as the spring of 1811 and was called 'Deutsche Turnvereln." The founder was Frledrlch Ludwig Jahn. Jahn was born In 1778 and, aS a young university student, he fought against 'Napoleon at. Jena. The defeat was too much for him and, together with many other German patriots, he conspired against Napoleon. F. L. Jahn founded the German turn with the objective In view of training the Oermans physically and making them strong enough to avenge defeats suffered In the past. After the peace of Paris In 1814 Jahn -was made director of physical education In Prussia and Immediately the whole spirit Is changed, His work from then on Is to create harmony1 In the human evolution, and establish the right mental and physical balance In life. '"The young people loved Jahn. At the turn-squares, they brought their lunches, but only water was! permitted to be drunk. 'Virtuous, ! clean and always ready' was a, turner's motto. Although there j have been times when the Interest in the 'turnvereln' has been very small, It Is, however, a world j movement,- movement,, - . . because Decause everywhere everywucre, , you see Germans you will also see BOMB Lile Speaks Before "-It "i turnverelns. In the ear 1914 there were 1,400,000 members In the mother turn in Germany.

How Schools Are Hun J "There are two sessions at thesnj schools. . The winter one for six 1 months and the summer one for! three. Generally the girls go dur-i Ing the summer and the boys; during the winter. In connection! with these schools there are thous ands of gymnastic clubs in the 'arious citfes to which ex-studenu jelong and the membership at :ertain periods has reached thp mormous figure of over 200,000 llmost 75 percent of the youth be- ween the ages of 18 and 25. "Norway, Sweden, Finland and Iceland have "turns" and gymnastic clubs. It must not be neglected to state that the government In all these countries back thesn ictivitles to a great extent. 'Czecho-Slovakla has a wonder ful organization,, the "Sokol-move-ment." A "sokol" Is a hawk In the slav language. The first club was started In 1862 In Prague. The alms ind objects of the movement were to .train the growing generation create a mentally and physical! strong nation. Liberty, equality and fraternity are the key words. The displays staged by the Sokol-Socletles are world famed and tourists come from all over the world to witness mass displays of tens of thousands of men and women, boys and. girls. "It Is Interesting to note, that In England there Is no so-callsd "movement" of any kind. The English people long ago aqulred that freedom which allows the Indi vidual to do what he likes. But, as the foundation for 'sportsmanship and fair play' Is inculcated h the English children both by par cnis ana scnooimasters. we find that the nation In general ts th?,A' , it.
