THE HANOVERIAN 5 7 hitnriala THE NEW SCHOOL-BUILDING At last we are to have a new school building, now that im- mediate necessity has overcome that which far-sightedness could not, but indeed! there would have been a very bitter struggle over the new school-building question this year, if it had not been for Mr. Sylvester's generous gift. Several years ago when the need of a new high-school be- came apparent, the suggestion was made that Norwell, Hanson, and Hanover should unite in constructing one building which was to be located in Center Hanover, transportation was to be furnished by busses for the pupils of the three towns. This plan however, did not meet with approval and was voted down. A year ago, a carefully worked-out plan was presented to the town for a new centralized school-building, to house all the grades. After a bitter struggle at the town meeting, this also was disapproved. But now, as the result of this year's meeting, we are to have a fine new School-building, thoroughly equipped and adequate in every respect. Katherine Townsend, '27. THE NEW RACE The customs, actions and language of the young people of to-day differ from those of their elders as much as if they be- longed to separate nations instead of diferent ages. But who could want it to be otherwise, for you certainly would not wish us back to the conditions in which our great-grand-parents lived, and thus prohibit the progress of a nation. It is true that there are some whose conduct is common, im- modest, and rude, but are there not people in any age to whom these adjectives might be applied, although perhaps they were interpreted with different shades of meaning. Our elders are shocked by our actions, because I think we are more open and do not try to conceal everything. Then they are also, urfaccus- tomed to these new things just as people were perfectly horrified when girls Iirst began to wear riding breeches. This is nothing new, for society is continually revolting from old conventions just as painting and poetry. One of the greatest faults is that you are inclined to mis- judge what you see, and believe stories on insufficient evidence and your attitude is hostile rather than sympathetic. No doubt there is plenty to criticize, but if you keep thinking thus, psy- chology teaches that your ideas will at length become permanent states of mind. Many people sit along the side-lines and criticize those who are playing to the galleries, but these very ones are among the guiltiest. You encourage the flapper and sheik to go on with their gay life and jazz, for there is nothing in which they delight more than being made notorious. If you only criticize and can offer no suggestions, why should we receive all the blame?
