BEFORE OUR EYES Row many of you after reading the headlines, sports, and comic strip of the daily nov spaper read any more of it? V hen v;e read history today about the World War, v;e feel it would have been exciting to have been alive when some thing was going on. An archduke and his wife v crc shot, little Belgium would not lay down her arms and let Germany’s array pass through to France, the big ocean liner, Lusitania , v as torpedoed. VJcrc those things any more exciting than the Panay affair, the Spanish V ar, Hitler’s march into Austria, and the Japancso-Chinosc affair? There arc many highlights in the v;orld of international affairs today. It is the duty of the present generation, viho 7ill be the voters of tomorrow, o acquaint ourselves with the important things that arc happening today, so that wo shall know what is going on outside of the town in which v c live. When wo pick up the newspaper, we should read the sports if v;o v ant to knov; hov the Rod Sox arc hitting; wo should read the comic strip if v c want to knov; what Maggie and Jiggs are up to; and wo should also road about v hat is going on in Washington, D.C., England, Germany, and other points of in- terest in the world. Turn to the editorial page, and you will find that it requires only a little concentration to grasp v hat the v ritcr is trying to tell you. Ttiose editorials v ill give you some- thing to think about. Some v arnlng sJiould be given as to how a person should fi ' rra his ideas from editorials. V c should not be so partial to one newspaper that after reading its editorials, v;c refuse to consider the points which aro in favor of the side of the question which the editorial docs not take. This docs not mean v e need to subscribe to more than one newspaper. After v c have read the editorials, we should discuss them with our friends and then form our ov n opinions on the matter. Some of us may feel that nov spapers aro controlled by politics, advertising pov er, and other agencies v hich do not permit all the truth to bo printed. There is no denying this but until we find, a better method of keeping in touch with everyday affairs v c v. ill have to roly on the facts the news- papers do give. Let’s start reading the news of today so that v o may be able to give sound opinions when it comes our turn to take part in making the history of the world. Louis Hadley 38
