"Capitalizing a Shoe-String Educa~

dress was the tremendous import-
ance of adult education. i
Mr. Williams said the. World War
opened the eyes of the American
people to the need for great. busi~
ness. social. economic and intellect-
ual changes in the country. These
changes are manifested to a ‘very
great extent at the present time. Ac-
cording to Mr. Williams the four
outstanding forces in the country at
the present time are:

more standardised. We‘ find the
same businesses. the same clubs. the
same kind of roads. in every city in

was one reason why there are so
many American tourists abroad.
anxious for diversity of interests
and life.
The centrifugal and centripetal
influences on the home. Among the
things that Mr. Williams mention-
ed as centrifugal or deCentraiising
influences on the home were mov.

those clubs where each week speak-
ers address the ladies on anything
from drama to current events. and
at which all the women do
is to listen to the speech and
sponge it in. The same thing ap-
plied to his very audiqnee. the
speaker said. The en Just sat and

Williams had to think about it. pre~
pare it and deliver it. He urged the
men to apply their educations. and
exert their own minds.

"The ‘average American does no
constructive reading." Mr. Williams
said. ."He is very particular about
hie food. but his reading matter is
the human race. in its social. phy-
sical and mental evolution. and we
must be intelligent about it."
Education and training are great-
ly needed in the business world. de-
clared the speaker and be quoted
several examples. including minor
executives and salesmen.
In conclusion. he said. "if we are
going ahead in industry we have got
to apply adult education and we
have got to have that education."
