THE YoUTH or ToDAY SEES. ln September, 1935, we entered high school with very little thought for the world about us. We were too occupied with our own problems to be conscious of world events. All in all, it was an era of hope, of faith, and of peace. To be sure, there were disturbances, but none except the very far-seeing saw in them anything to worry about.

However, the general trend of the world was towards continued peace and approaching prosperity. Contrast this outlook with that of spring, l939. Daily we await news of the final link in the chain of destruction in Europe, declaration of war. A show- down between dictatorships and democracies is believed inevitable, it is doubtful that the United States can remain aloof. Meanwhile we are still deeper in depression or recession than we were four years ago. Other coun- tries are in a still worse plight internally than we. Even to youth, optimistic and cheerful as they may be, the world appears on the way down to unpre- dictable depths. However, with all the darkness of despair, there are bright spots on the horizon. Science has continued to advance at a tremendous rate: improve- ments in radio, air travel, automobiles, and other machines have been brought about, great advances in medicine have been made, television is on the public 6
