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.
