Many of the present generation believe that we never think deeply but we have our trials and troubles and meet them squarely. We do enjoy life to the fullest extent and many of the things that are said about us are far from true. We all know that not all on board this ship, called the 'iNext Gen- erationersf' are what the present generation think of us. No, by no means, that group comprises but a small minority of the young people of our Amer- ica. There is a great majority that sail in the right course and will better the conditions of the boat by their presence. In the manufacture of the bolts for the ship, without doubt, there was a certain percentage of them that were failures. Nevertheless, look at those that were successes. Youth is the same way. But Why criticize them, anyway. It really gets you nowhere. Life isn't meant to be like that. Even you, the fault-finder, feel worse after you have spoken than before. If you do not, you should! If those who criticize us would only look back upon their lives when they acted the same way and did not like to be censured by their parents. The youth of to-day are preparing themselves for the future. Never before were there so many young men and women working their way through colleges and universities in order to Ht themselves for the time that they will be summoned to stand their watch at the wheel and keep the ship away from the rocks. Harold Bell W'right, a favorite of most readers, believes that the flames of flaming youth are lighted at the home fires. And isn't it true that the present generation say they are the results of their parental training? Of course. And so, also, are the Next Generationers. Then why do they censure our actions? Wfe Wish to make a plea for the youth of today. Let us not, in our sail upon the sea of life, neglect the small things and just hit the high spots. Donit be in such a hurry to get from here to the next port that you do not notice the in-betweensn for these will make your life even happier. We firmly believe than in the lively spirit of the youth of today is the seed of a civilization far better than that of today. Let us follow the right course across the sea in our sturdy ship, and by all means, let us germinate that seed!
