" Youth is the time of enthusiasms, bright hopes and hot desires. The tendency, consider these things the best ,',''11 we are fortunate enough to acquire wisdom as we grow ', older we find that contentment does not lodge in these things, but is a prize to be gained by the normal use of our will, our intelligence and our skill in self mastery. The sentiment which crops in novels that the joy of life's morning is all that's worth hile is closely akin to cynicism. ' For it leads to cynicism and to despair when the early period is once pust. ' The impression you get from the average novel is that the interesting part of life is over when the young people ut-c married and done for. .As a matter of fact, the best part of life ought to be lifter fifty. ,1 We begin life as young animals. Wo ought to wind it up as great qph-its. And age is better than youth, precisely an the life of tho spirit is better than the life of the flesh j precisely as an intelligent human being ought to bo happier than an unthinking nnimal. I . The average American family is dominated by tin children. j ". This is bad for them and for everybody else. It makes them intolerant, selfish and disagreeable. And it reduces their parents to a state of peonage. ? The truth that every parent ought to know is that if a child's youth is to be a permanent asset in his life it must.be made a period of discipline rather than of self indulgence. r.'No one Wants to go back to the heartless, callous and sympathetic system of treating children. Thev should ; hve.theit.full portion of love, uig. isuc at me same time they should bo made to realize tltitt life is not a matter of having n good time. It is a matter of self-mastery, of honor and of heroism. Slieh. qualities alone bring permanent happiness. And such qualities do not grow in a soil of continual indulgence. It is not a choice whether one shall be happy when he ir, oia or when he is young. It is rather an intelligent tak ing up of the problem how so to govern the pleasures of all our days with temperance us to make one's whole life worth while. i Editorials From Over the Nation ; oor.rs a hovm tih iiih :; 1'.yi:s?
