In 1944 there were forty thousamj, and those likely -,to knpWf told ps there would no [doubt be as many as fifty thousand this' year. We all knew! ah ou t! the ; contrlbutary causes. The shortage of (housing meant that young peoule could not; begin their married ,llfe properly. Other causes were the long separa­ tion due to the jwar, and the itlred- ness of young women after all the work they had,had to,.do. -


What -c&uld he done about It]?


“ It Is no wse jhst being optimistic, even If you are Boroptlmlsts," the Bishop wdht onl !ltj was no good saying everything , was for (the best in the best of jail possible worlds Everything was not for the best, and It was not the best of;all possible • worlds.


OUT OF i?ROPORTION.


. young people to gambling practices, the Bishop said there! were!,those who ;said'’’I t It all r ig h t . ' I t I s 'a good thing th a t people; should have their little flutter.” But things had got rather out of proportion. He had heard a pcstmani say th a t he


Referring to ihe mention In the report of the etirly Introduction of

people in “ working class homes.”. He was quite sure the same sltua- ■ tlon obtamed In other ranks of life. In the universities—even the old. universities - built on whatn were regarded as great- foundations— there was an Intellectual pressure brought to bear on our young people whlch-made it.dlfficult for them to- hold to the standards of life on which they had been brought up,- and which we had learnt to call


Christian. To a large, extent the astounding ' ' .


and terrible Ignorance on the part of a large number of young people of the very elements of the Chris­ tian fa i th - explained the state of things with which we were faced. Many would'be astonished if -they were faced with a batch of young men just gplng-.lnto ,the Army..


Should they ask them some ques­ tions a l^ u t the reH^onito which they professed ■ t o ‘ adhere, they vyonid find th a t many ctfnld ;no,t get further than the first; clause of the Lord’s Prayer. : |


o f the first things to be dohe was to come to the help of those who were starting families of their own.


What were the remedies? One The streri^henihg of home life,'


which had become so weakened In recent years; shbuld be number one priority. He had many ' frierids among headmasters and- head mistresses, and they assured him th a t one could always tell the boy or girl whose.pafents .dld-not get on

Perhaps No. lx Priority was the proTtlslon of housing. To him it .was. a matter of ( Complete Indifference whether It was done by:the gpvem(- ment, the local authority, or private enterprise, but .it must he done, and quickly, for on It depended to a very large extent the strengthening of the home life of the future..


Another matter of! importance


was that we should press on with adult education, especially ; adult;, religious education. :M6st o l ju s experience hafi'-been as a parish priest in places where the majority of people were poor and ordinary working folks.
