' There was, I do not doubt, an outbreak of j heavy diinking among tho young in America, and i perhaps in cei tain 'quarters it still continues, as a piece of bravado; but I am certain that the soakcra are dwindling in nunilers, and that the rising young . take no more interest in fermented liquors than tho averago healthy-minded boy and girl in England do. j In any event, whatever, the truth on that subject i may lie, the lact remains that I see- everywhere in . .... . New York a handsomer and fitter type of young j man than I saw nine years ago."x ,; ! With a great deal being said about the wayward activities of young people (frequently by older people who do not clearly recall the rule and exception of their own youth), ihc brighter observation is pleasant to read. No one expects certainly not visiting Englishmen to find young people in the United States more perf.ft than they are in other natioii8 of the world, but we beliovo they are making pro gress. Youth has its faults and there aro occasional cases of bad conduct, but young people are dLvniveiing that liquor and Guccess do not mix, just as most American adults discovered it in order to inaugurate prohibition. Some youngsters, both in New York and in the rest of the country, sport a flask and obey the childish urge to "show off" with too fre quent drinking. .But they are not dangerously t numerous. Young people arc smart. Even many of those lacking the right-kind of parental counsel are learning by experience that feeing able to carry hard liquor is not a profitable) ac complishment. There is a decreasing tendency to cultivate it. Youth's sense of values has altered in favor of sobriety. It is gradual but we are inclined to think Mr. Ervine's obser vation is correct. Appoint C.
