Effect of Public High Schools on Youth ' HE effect of Public High Schools on youth is general, for their system of education throughout the nation is almost identical. There is a same- ness in the training and seemingly a pattern has been cut regardless of the individual. The result of this mechanical grind is a turning out of young people as graduates with that one spark of character smothered, that might have made them different, had not the desire to be modern been cultivated. Education is not complete unless it embraces the spiritual, mental and phys- ical powersg therefore a lack of one of these tends to make our youth some- what one-sided. In a. sense, this systemized character of the youth is crushed by his free- dom of opinions and frankness of speech along lines of his views in religion. You ask, isn't this a good sign? Isn't it better for him, who seeks to be mod- ern, to act his part in being free to discuss questions of religion as set forth in the Bible than to be slow and timid? This might depend upon two things, the spirit which leads him to speak thus, which is usually non-serious, and his knowledge of the Bible. Since no training or study in the Bible is oifered him, the Scriptures, to this type is a mass of verses without a divine interpretation outside of the child Bible Stories which to him become mythical. Salvation, meaning personal contact with God, to the average American student is flung aside in mockery. There is no depth whatsoever to the word eternity and the soul planted by God to seek after Godly thoughts, deeds and ambitions is filled to overflowing with the corruptness of modernism often found in text books and sanctioned by teachers. -Doris Montoney. Negligence of the Church ' HE world comes to the child when it is in the April of life, and sows tares. The world comes along again when the child is in the May of life, and sows thistles. Again in the fair June it comes and sows nox vomica. The church meanwhile folds its hands and waits until the April has gone, and the May has gone, and June and July have gone, and then at the close of August gets in earnest and says, Now, now we have got. a bag of good wheat here, and we must sow it in this fresh young soil, and we shall have a glorious harvest! Will it? No, no! It is too late! Everlastingly too late! You should have sowed in April and in May the good seed of the kingdom. g ' -4654-
