I Levo CJrontiers of CfLuman [Progress F RONTIERS? you ask. Did they not disappear with the stagecoaeh and the eandle? No indeed! Frontiers of milk and honey may be only visions reflected from the past hut there are larger, grander, more important frontiers still before us. America ' s frontiers today are in science, industry, economics, and social relations. Who is to be the pioneer? The Youth of America. Youth is eager for adventure and youth is willing to give itself to a vision — a goal. The goal is the fulfillment of ideals — of high standards which young men and women have bravely sought throughout the ages. In the fulfillment of these high standards lies the chartering of an unknown, unfathomed future. Opportunities for service to humanity, opportunities for exploration in all fields of social adjustment lie before us. However, they demand courage — courage as great as that which the pioneers possessed when blazing new trails; self ' Sacrifice — willingness to give one ' s life to one ' s field of work; imagination — to see the ideal as it should be realised; and — intelligence. By mak- ing the most of these opportunities, the modern pioneer will find expression for the greatest service to the world. Youth today, realizing hardships, sees real life and faces the facts of it with courage and determination. Interest in social problems, current events, and industry make them cognizant of the need for brave, undaunted pioneering. Are courage, fearlessness, will power, and ideals in the Youth of America the sole solution of our material problems? Youth believes not. Education of the highest type is necessary where any valuable work is to he done. Even in high school, education should be broad and include many fields. Every young person should study and analyze the history of the world, if for no other reason than to teach him that war should and can be prevented. If economics were under- stood early in life, the financial problems of a nation would have infinitely better chance of solu- tion. Political science, were it taught in the schools, would bring more vividly to the mind of youth, the interdependence of states and nations. They would see more clearly the intricacies of governments and the motives behind empires. What is more important than the study of people and human relations? By introducing psychology in the high schools, young people would appreciate the reactions of people and learn how best to deal with them. With college comes higher and deeper knowledge. Broadening influences are abundant and life ' s mysteries lead to a brighter, more enlightened path. Specialization is a requisite lor worth- while accomplishments in any field. Each profession is a frontier in itself and the remote out- posts can he reached only through persistent effort and specialized concentration. Let us, as Youth of America, arm ourselves with courage, will power, and high ideals, devoting our energies in one direction. Let us remember that no matter what field we explore, our greatest happiness will come through serving others. We are challenged to lead to a freer, more democratic future. Let us not thrust aside the opportunity. Education points the way, so let us hold high the torch of knowledge. Youth feels and knows No great deed is done By falterers who ask for certainty.
