WiiiiHliiD NU iiiZliHlUlibg iiDiiF XYIIDIIUIIHHW WORLD EVENTS, outstanding pert sonalities and their utterances, the changing state of the world must make lasting impressions on the youth of to- day. Each generation, in turn, makes its impression upon its elders. The aftermath of the war days is still with us in a freedom, an abandonment, a lack of restraint which is likely to be permanent. The wild orgy of 26329, followed by the ever-deepening gloom of the depression, has left a reflected but indelible impression on the present generation. They have known the heights of luxury and extravagance, but many of them, alas, have known also the depths of penury and need. The generations come and the generations go-there is little inherent differenceethe gteaest influence is that imposed upon them from without by their elders. Many years ago, in fact, in the gay nineties, I heard a valedicrotian of a high school class say that the young people were what they were because their elders put tools into their hands, taught them how to use these tools and then condemned them because they learned the lesson iTis a thought that should give us pause. The youth of today are frank, fearless, alert, attractive, unashamed and unafraid. Their fearless sincerity is both appealing and heartening. I believe that the boys and girls are much more interested in the problems of today than we were in our time. On the whole after living many years, of many days, of many hours with the present generation, I still have a great ad- miration, a wholesome fear, and an abiding faith in the young people of today.

NUMEN HUME S CIENCE! THE LETTERS spell a magic word. The magic lies in its revelation of nature, in its expansion of industry, in the infmite fu- ture which it may hold in store for us. There is little doubt that the comprehension of its principles and the realization of its pottent will he of untold value to the generation of tomorrow. Science has been blamed for the depres- sion and many of the evils of civilization However, the accusations ate untrue. The discoveries in the held of science have in. finitely increased the possibilities of advance- ment for mankind. It is the fault of man- kind itself if the depression and other constant menaces to our welltbeing must exist through bad distribution, economic strangulation, and credit. The held of sciences offered in Western Hills are physi- ology, botany, zoology, general science, phys- ics, chemistry, astronomy, geology. Of this number, a gettetal science course of one-half year and a year of physiology are required. The test are purely optional. The outstand- ing fact in regard to this department is that neatly every member of the Senior High School takes some kind of science. Inven- tions-emechanical, organic, chemical-have put a rosy touch on the dawn of tomorrow; of course, we take science with such a chal- lenge calling us to the adventure of achieve- ment and the thrili of servxce to mankind.
