Never before in the history of our country have there been in existence so many services ready to assist the youth emerging from the nation's schools. These have been created in response to a demand that government do what it can to remove the obstacles to success confronting you. You are, therefore, going out into a world which, though troubled and uncertain, is deeply concerned over your personal well-being. This sis, of course, a happy circumstance over which all should rejoice. But, it presents a subtle danger to you. I refer to the possibility that you will allow yourselves to rely too greatly for success upon forces out- side of yourselves. If you lean too much upon help from without, as upon a crutch, the chances are that you will not exercise the courage, the foresight, and the initiative without which-be the youth services increased a thousandfold-you cannot achieve success. Therefore, to be sure, take advantage of the aids established by government to help you. But, take intelligent advantage of them by ceaselessly putting forth every effort to secure your own job, to obtain your own further education, to plan your own advancement. In a word. keep in condition the muscles of your own determination. You will find that by doing so you will not only secure satisfactions for yourself, but will conserve the most important resource our democratic country has for its defense-men and women who are masters of their own destiny.
