I 932 GREETINGS TO ACORN READERS FROM President H. M. Gage Most readers of the Acorn are youth. To them upward and onward are watchwords. When told, There is plenty of room at the top, youth replies, Yes, but it is awfully crowded down here and down here is where I am, So undaunted youth starts the toilsome journey from down here to up there where a fellow will have a better chance. Progress exactly expresses what every youth wants and believes. The idea of progress is not only appropriate to the period of youth but also to the period of depression in which we live. Here we all are. down here in the pit of despondency. A fine fat chance for a boy getting ready for his job that does not exist! What a topsy-turvy world it is! Youth is told to go to school not to prepare for a job but so that he will not stay out of school and get a job that some other person needs. What one is to do when he finally gets out of school the wise men do not say. In this situation at the bottom of a dark pit it is youth who will see the stars. Happily, darkness makes the stars visible. So irrepressibly progressive youth will build wagons of whatever material lies about and will hitch their wagons to the stars. In the name of progress from depression I salute on-coming youth, the hope of the world, and say, Behold this dreamer cometh, Welcome to you. If you were not coming up this world would be going down at a great rate. Of course this hard world will give you a rough hazing, a bit rougher than youth in other times have had. But it will be salutary. The harsh discipline will drive all the conceit out of you and leave you nothing but your dreams. Praises be, nothing can drive self-confidence out of youth. So no depression can hold the world down. So in the name and for the sake of progress go on dreaming. Study the events of the world and their significance. Then dream of a better self and a better world. Even if you seem a bit queer as did that boy who wore a coat of many colors, go on dreaming. When the famine was sore in the land, it was that young dreamer to whom the poor in all the lands owed their lives. It is now time for my annual joke, but I have none. However, what I have written may add to your stock of durable satisfaction in years to come. He laughs best whose laugh lasts. Page 18
