NORMAL SCHOOL LONDON ONTARIO EDITORIAL Youth YOUTH — youth — what is youth? Is it that time of long ago veiled in the sweet mists of lingering dreams? Is it the time when every- thing was tinged crimson and gold; when even the clouds were touched with rose, and we sallied forth each day as very knights-errant? No, my friends, youth is infinitely more than that. True youth was the time when the days were far too short and the nights — how they prolonged themselves! Youth loves everything that is done or said to be as pure as the day. Youth is the spring of life, when everything is as blossoms. It is the time when our thoughts are clear, though sometimes fantastical; when all our acts are those of joy and simplicity, and we glory in life. Our love is for those who measure up to the high standard of morality set by youth. Who could live up to that standard but youth itself? Youth is the training school for after-life. It is the seed-time for the harvest later. It is a time of preparation; a time oj embellishing and polishing in order that we may be fitted to take our place in the world (both this and that which is to come), in which we must later find ourselves. Everything in mind, body and soul is provided in youth if we do not dis- regard or despoil the opportunities. In youth we must look for the pattern of our Maker ' s idea and intention Why? For this reason — youth has not strayed so far from Him, as we who assailed by subtle false security or wrongfully blamed adversity, have estranged ourselves. In youth reason gives place to faith. Our faith being then pure and simple overcomes everything. We live with Him as our Friend. Love for country goes hand in hand with our love for God. Hence youth is both the firm foundation and the guiding star of the nations. In short youth is the very, ' horn of plenty, ' pouring out our joys, our love, our blessings and creating some statesmen, some professional men, some labourers and some idealists of all of which the world is composed. Youth is the golden treasury of old age. It is the gleaming cup over-flow- ing with past thoughts, past deeds, past joys, which are lived again only in dreams and reminiscences. G. Beverly R. Collier. Page Fourteen
