A- In a period of social and industrial change like ours, with the progress of civilization retarded in many countries, the hope of a better world lies with the young people. The young people look hopefully to the future and find active enjoyment in the present. The prime business of every community, therefore, should be the proper education of its children. The public takes care of youth during high school years, but after that it has no obligation to keep them in institutions of learning for which they are not prepared. Today many high school students are trying to decide whether they should go to college. The answer should depend largely upon whether they are interested in things intellectual and whether they have acquired habits of study which will enable them to make progress in an institution of higher learning. Whether they intend to go to college or not, they should, while in high school, develop habits of industry, honesty and thoughtfulness. ROYE R. BRYANT
