Page eitfht YEAR iUnttmtimts iaga T. E. A. S. Like Biological evolution, social, political, economic and religious evolution have their explosive periods. For a century or perhaps several centuries, slow, steady development takes place, or in some cases more rapid degeneration marks a nation or a race. Then something happens. An explosion takes place. These explosions constitute the high lights of history. There is no doubt but that we are in the middle of such an explosion just now. The Great War accelerated the inevitable climax but was not the cause of it. How is it going to affect our own country or Empire ? That depends upon several factors. What happens in other countries will have its effect upon us. Nations can no longer live unto themselves. The fallacy of the doctrine of self-sufficiency is being demonstrated at the present moment, and nowhere more effectively than on this continent. Russia has waded through blood to substitute one tyranny for another. What the final outcome may be does not yet appear. Middle Europe is showing remarkable self-control but is in the midst of what appears to be economic ruin. War debts have paralyzed trade. Whether violence or comparatively peace¬ ful evolution ushers in a new era generally depends upon the genius for accom¬ modation of the peoples involved. In the past, our race has possessed this faculty, but nothing can be taken for granted. On the one hand are always to be found those for whom a change is anathema, however inevitable that change may be. On the other are those who would substitute chaos for order. Between these two extremes must be found the brains to lay out the path and the steady hands to hold the reins of progress. That things will not settle themselves in a week or a day, if at all, is but too evident. The youth of today are those on whom will fall the great burden of construction and re-construotion. Do our High School students realize the great responsibilities about to drop upon their shoulders, or have they sensed its glorious opportunities. I sometimes dare to hope they have.
