And th at is the way we progress. In Other Days FISHING Those who are held in thrall by the a rt of Issac Walton are a t this time of year a happy lot or at least, they appear to be to one who is merely an observer; an ob server be it known, of those who like to go fishing, not of the a r t of fishing itself. They have a perpetually new subject of conversation and it carries an interest th at can stand the competition of incipient wars of visits from far distant royalty of crops and prices. Whethe> trout are taking flies better th ar some other bugs is of the g rea tes‘ importance and each fishing day is noted for the appetites of the prey. They get out in the air, these addicts, and tram p miles and miles over rocks and through bushes, stepping along as if afraid of waking the baby They becom tanned and brown, even the sex th at is given to extrem e care In m anner of natural and unnatural coloring. They come home at night, or a fte r the passage of some days, tired and weary and as hanp looking as children a fter a holi day. Yet the very next day that du ‘y does not call at its accustom ed hour of the m orning they are away again. , N othing can hold them and a bit of rain that would ruin a picnic o’* a scalding sun th a t would take fh*> joy from a ball game merely m-’kes the day more memorable. Suppose we all go fishing. Not because of the possibility of catch ing a mess of tro u t against the butcher’s bill but to put the tro u blesome things of this world in :r proper places, below the sun and the wind and all enveloping weariness. WHAT WE ARE TO BE, WE ARE BECOMING The above is the motto of the high school graduating class and it has been seen pinned against the backdrop at which the specta tor stared, and talked about a num ber of times in the last days of the school year. Originally it might have been a moralists thought or it might with equal pos sibility have been a scientists statement. Irrevocably, irretrievably, we are becoming what we are going to be for the very simple reason that we can become nothing we do not train to be, that we do not learn to be. | It Is also true that within cer- From the Observer May 28, 192f M.
