Is Youth Facing- A Hopel-ess Task? During the last fev years I hr.-ve her,rd many adults say to a young Ders ' : ' n, I certainly pity you groaning up in a world so full of chaos. I don ' t know what the world is coming to, l oll, the world isn ' t coming to anything. It will keep on go- ing just like it always has. Youth has always had problems to face and somehow they always mrnaro to solve them. Wo care no worse off todcay than anyone before our time hrs been. If you think wq ■ iro, let ' s book beck just a few years in our own country. A few , ener. ' -’tions back disccases like tuberculosis, diphtherica, smell POX, and scarlet fever tooii a hea.vy toll of lives rmong children. Tod.ay these diseases ere very scarce, and there arc free clinics to combat them in most o ' our public schools. How m any of us today have to got up Ccarly in the morning .and xoilk ten or twelve cows before going to school? Il t racany of us I ' ll wa.gcr. liany of our grandparents and parents head to Wcalk six or seven miles to sch:)ol every morning. Mow if wc live r- r than a mile or two from town, a bus cells every morning to c. ' irry us to school. And QPc king of schools, how infinitely better the scidoIs arc t jdr.y then those which our p.-’-rents rnd grandparents attended. A while bc‘,ck not meny boys or girls v ent on to high school r.nd only the most fortunate person wont to college. In the so-called good old days schools x Tcrc poorly equipped, poorly lighted, .and pupils had t ' buy their ov n supplies and books, nu ny of which x«gere far from UP to date. Today our schools arc much better equipped and b ' - ' oks arc kent up to date. I ' ow it is the rule not the exception for a student to get a high school cduca.tion. Sven for a person of moderate moans it is possible to get r good college education very reasonably at some of our state universities. It is much casit r to anuire an education now than ever before. And as for some people ' s grertest worry, Mr. Hitler, there hrve r.lwr ys been conq-a. ro:s ac bad if n ' -t worse then he since the de.wn of civilizati ' m. Didn ' t Alcx.- ndor conauer all of the civili- z- ' .tion of his time? Didn ' t the K ' r.v n Empire extend its dominion over most of the known world? And what could possibly be hoped for when the savage Huns and other trf ' cs from Asia st.arted to ‘r run Europe? Solutl ' ns were founc to all these problems, and they were much worse than -iny wc f ce today, TVh ' t if Hitler is vict iri- ' u for the rionent? True, the situnti ' n is serious, but he ' s going to meet his Waterloo just . ' ’sMapoloon did. V lth all the opportunities ' hlch the present day offers, arc viq unfortun- ' te -nd to be pitied? Of course not, this old world ' s problems aren ' t any t ■ ' Ughor and different tha.n the? ' over vrirc. We are the ones who ore different. So let ' s look old man trouble str-aight in the eye and perform our t ' sks as thej ' ’ come.
