AN INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER
YOUTH AND GUIDANCE.
Despite the vast hubbub con
cerning the so-called “revolt”
of youth, it appears to us that
youth is not in revolt, but in
quest of knowledge and truth,
and if the route is sometimes
confused and disconcerting it
is mainly because of lack of
guidance.
The young, in search of lead
ership, have turned to their
parents only to find that all
too frequently the men and
women of the passing generat
ion are either lacking in inter
est or engrossed in their own
work or pleasure, or make
poor leaders because they do
not understand and are not in
sympathy.
The reason for the decline of
parental guidance is undoubt
edly the rise of the social
conscience and the spirit of.
civic service. This is a trend
that antedates the jazz age
and the igniting of flaming
youth. Increasing stress on the
individual’s duty to the com
munity and society has weak
ened the sense of duty, or at
least cut down the available
time for the exercise of the
duty to the children at home.
In other words, there are
countless fathers and mothers
too engrossed with the duties
of community and social lead
ership to spare the time for
home companionship and par
ental leadership.

MORE INTENSIVE
FARMING.
It is significant that, while
more than 75,000 farms have
been abandoned in the United
States since 1920, there has
been a marked increase in
truck farms near cities and the
larger towns. And therein is
an answer to the economists
who prophesy dire things as a
result of the tendency of coun
try dwellers to gravitate to the
cities.
A steady drift to cities from
rural districts tends to increase
the demand for and curtail
production of foodstuffs, but
for every farm abandoned
several truck farms have been
established to make up the
food deficit.
In the city zone more poultry
yards and apple and peach
orchards are to be found from
year to year. Small but inten
sive vegetable gardens dot
the landscape within market
ing distance of the larger com
munities.
There need be no fear that
good arable land in agricult
ural country will be long
abandoned. Most of the aband
oned farms are not worth culti
vating and no rich farming
land lies long untilled.
-o
COMPROMISE.
The only final enemies are
the good and the bad, the true
and the false. These are at
odds in every struggle, even
though the human share in
their warfare may be confused
beyond divination. Yet a man
is either sure that he fights
for the right or he confesses
to himself that the right does
not concern him and that his
loyalties are to be sold for his
ambitions. In such strife the
sincere man cannot yield un
less he first surrenders his con
victions; the man with no con
victions beyond his own am
bitions can and will give
ground for what he may get
out of it.
Truth is always under the
fire of his enemies and has al
so within the gates of its cita
del another enemy, who tempts
with the quick peace of com
promise. This is the traitor
who is ready to meet the en
emy on the middle ground
where defense surrenders all
its advantage or will yield a
gate or tower under the spur
of fear, and so destroy the in
tegrity of his city.
Much honest conviction and
many institutions built upon it
have gone through such sur
render to expediency. Remem
bering this, clear-sighted and
whole-hearted men have small
taste for compromise. They
fight for their standards or
fall beside them and leave to
those of lesser faith the haz
ardous peace of a bargain
with the enemy. Were it not
for this gallant obstinacy of
the free spirit, few things
worth while would ever have
been won or held for the ser
vice of man.

It must be wonderful to feel

necessary to act hard-boiled.
“Why is it that men don’t
come to church?” asked the

“Probably because their wives

tempt to prospect by drilling.
