BATTLEFORD. -Providing boys and girls of teen-age with competent leadership and the need for gljlng fellowship and constructive enterprise to young people between 16 and 21, were mentioned ae responsibilities of adults In a discussion on "Free Masonry and Youth" Initiated by Harold 8, May on Thursday evening at a supper meeting of the Battle Lodge, A.F.

arid A.M., over which Walter G. Ellis presided. Mr. May regretted that young people were so often denied guidance just at the critical period of their lives, and their going astray was too often due to this oversight on the part of older people. H.

T. Richardson pointed out the signifance of Individuality which made a particular approach necee-sary, calling for the co-operation of the parents. Walter L. Clink, K.C., stressed the need for Masonry to go out Into the community showing a vital interest in youth as the building material of the temple. Some boys started out with a wrong premise and lt Is worth w-hile, he said to spend time giving them the right Impressions.

Getting boys tnto the right crowd, he continued, would always be a big part of leadership. Rev. T. Currant spoke of the need for throwing around the young people an atmosphere of sympathy, faith, and kindly com-pionship, In which they would learn to approach life with a positive attitude guided by the principle of discrimination and restraint. John F.

Allan was sure that the problem of youth can best be solved by the parents recognizing how much their children react to life by the example given them at home. They needed their enthusiasm sustained by a deep Interest on the part of parenthood.
