VALEDICTORY THE LONG ROAD We are all idealists to some extent. Practically no one has so little vision that he can form no definite idea of what kind of man he should be thirty years hence. He knows per- fectly well what business or profession he should be in and what position he should be occupying among the men who have chosen the same vocation. Most of us go a step farther and picture what kind of boss we would make to the men under us, what kind of lieutenant we would make to the officers above us. Would we be hard bosses who drive their men to their ut- most by loud, harsh orders and the fear of heavy penalties, or would we be the sort who call their men by their first names, inquire about their families, direct them coolly, and accomplish results through their loyalty? Would we not respectfully acknowledge an order from a superior, perform the task effici- ently, and report it done before the time limit set for us? Some stop there, but many go on with the vision. When they reach the positions they have planned for, they will not forget the Lord who has aided them nor the poor who cannot rise to such high places because of their lack of opportunities. They will conduct their businesses fairly and live their private lives cleanly. They will give a certain portion of their in- comes to churches, hospitals, and schools. In another phase of their dream, they plan that if their businesses require indoor work they will not let their muscles grow soft. They will do their best to keep the glowing health which was the source of the energy that enabled them to rise to their chosen positions. They will take brisk walks every day, or they will join golf clubs. They will become members of the Y. M. C. A., or they will fit up private gymnasiums. They will go into the wilds for their vacation. They will take no servants. They will leave civilization's softening luxury be- hind. They will paddle their own canoes, they will fetch their own water, and they will hunt a part of their own food. They will enjoy nature, but they will not destroy it. They will kill enough ish and game to supply a portion of their food, but they will not bring back enough to provide all their friends with deer heads and mounted fish to hang over their fireplaces. They will broaden their minds to make themselves worthy of the society of the high-minded and intelligent people whom they find occupying similarly high positions. That is part of their vision. They will travel. They may go to Europe once to view the cultural background of the race and to get ac- quainted with contemporary great peoples. But their main purpose will be to see America. After they have seen all the natural beauties of this country, its pleasant farms, busy cit- ies, and sturdy people to appreciate and understand them, it wil be time for them to remain at home and sit in the sun. They will know enough about literature, art and music to un- derstand what artists America has produced, the characteris- tics of their work, and how they stand in relation to the rep- resentatives of other countries. They will keep abreast of 21 I 1
