Il I W? I I! Our Trincipa is .Message Youth is such a beautiful thing, sang the poet-and a young poet at that. Youth is the hope of the world. Youth alone can solve the problems of the future. Youth is the mainstay of our civilization. These and similar epigrams are so often indulged in by speakers and writers that young people must sometimes grow tired of hearing them. And yet there is a world of truth in these statements, as demonstrated by what democratic society tries to do for youth. Nature employs specific means for the preservation of the young until they are old enough to preserve themselves. In the human race, however, these natural means are supplemented by numerous social instrumentalities, not only to assure the protection of the individual in his infancy, but also to make him strong and secure when he reaches maturity. Among these social agencies education is the most potent as far as life and happiness are concerned. During the early years education is carried on through formal instruction in school and college. In making this provision. society prolongs the period of youth-all for the purpose of facilitating the acquisition of more knowledge, more skill. and more self-confidence in preparation for the real battle of life. Society does all this. not without increasing effort. labor and cost, but it does it gladly because its hope IS in youth and because it has faith in youth. There is only one thing the older generation asks in return, and that is that youth, individually and collectively, should have faith in itself and never lose hope in the future. Carry on! Carry on! Youth is such a beautiful thing. GUSTAVE A. FEINGOLD. 9
