THE L. C. I. TATLER FOREWORD Even now we hear wth inward strife A motion toiling in the gloom- The Spirit of the years to come Yearning to mix himself with life. The above thought, expressed by Tennyson during the last century, seems to apply to world conditions to-day, When the stanza was written Democracy, formerly the dream of visionaries, Was being recognized as a practical ideal of human relationship. Slavery had recently been abolished in England, and machines were replacing man-power in the factories. A new era, known later as the Victorian Age, was just beginning. To-day we seem to have reached another milestone in the progress of civilization. May long-established institutions are now passing through the most testing period of their existence, and in some cases their survival is threatened. The very foun- dations of our Democracy are being shaken. Extreme nation- alism has developed in practically every nation of the world. International trade has decreased to an alarming extent, and unemployment has reached unprecedented proportions. The hope of mankind lies in improved conditions in the immediate future. The students of to-day will become the citizens of to-mor- row. Since work in factory, shop or office is not available, many of them are spending a few extra years in the classroom. They are thus preparing themselves to grasp the unsurpassed opportunitis, for the trained mind, which will inevitably be found when this period of world readiustment has past. The Wise youth is not despairing over present conditions, but is looking with confidence to the future, firmly believeing that the clouds of depression will scatter, and the sun of pros- perity will shine again. MR. W. M'acMILLAN.
