home and family," Dr. Young said. “and this is an area where we look and wonder. we are sometimes worried about people‘s sense ot values in family life. The urge to be upâ€"to-date has caused some people to dig up the worst from the past. dress in leotards and beards and dirty shirts and call it modern. Some young people consider religion outâ€"of-date, while what is new is the possibility of a faith stronger than ever as we learn what science can do working with God. To hear some people talk you‘d think they had discovered sex, but all anyone can say or do has been done over and over again. Young people who believe that chastity is obsolete and modesty is out-ofâ€"date are only ignorant." Among the things that are really new and in the vanguard of progress, Dr. Young listed education with all its new opportunities for girls: world citizenship and a young person's chance to meet people from other parts of the world. Human freedom is new, he said. so new that we don’t know what to do with it and we‘re making dangerous etcperiments; and if we want something really modern there is the chal- lenge to learn to be interdependent, to learn how to live with others. “If you're proud of being modern," the padre advised, “take up these things that are really new. Then cultivate a reverence for the past. a sense of responsiâ€" bility in the present and a broad vision of the future.
