THE BUSINESS OF YOUTH Millions of Americans, boys and girls, young men and.young women, are. about.to end or have ended a year of’ their education in the schoo}s, collegts and universities of the nation. Séme of these students no doubt have been seriously impressed with the troubles.that beset the. .world. By contrast, their pursuit of learning 7 represents: inaction in the midst of what may be a serious cri Some of them have reached the conclusion that there are other things more important in their lives than the pursuit of edu- “cation. .. The editor of The Citizen would like to go on record in opposition to such an idea. The world has had troubles ‘galore’ in the past and will face great problems in the fu- ture. The work of grappling with the ills of mankind can be left, for the present at least, to mature human sis. beings. Our young people will do well to make their plans to continue the development of their personalities by seeking to acquire learning. After all, character-building is largely the work of ; youth. By the time the average man or woman reaches rail maturity, principles have been accepted which later in- ae] fluence the activities of life. There is no. “Bubs stitute for yo the formative period of life and no time: is,Jost.which ural results in the development of character. eta While the individual is inclined to wonder what the eg world considers its great problems, the students should Re remember that the average life is concerned, for the most -4 part, with questions which are of relatively small import- IN ance, Yet, the principles an individual accépts and. uses a in application to the smaller problems of life, are the same To which must be applied to the larger issues that confront rt mankind. yd -»We trust that the students of Key West, now won- a (2) Atle whether to continue their scholastic work, will not @ lose interest in their studies‘under the false* impression 4 that they are not important. Proper preparation for life yur itself is the most serious business that can confront youth. Th No one should fail to take advantage of every oppor- a tunity to become a more intelligent human being. Cer- fam tainly, the future of the United States would suffer great id damage if all young people would neglect their educa- fcte tion under the mistaken impression that they must devote nee their energies to “more serious matters.” irar ! pe Th Jane RED CROSS 70 YEARS OLD nh ac, Lhe American Red Cross, which recently celebrated ge the Seventieth anniversary of its organiaztion, now main- Me eehtins 3,738 chapters in the United States and has the as- 3IN sistance of more tha T)358,000 Veneers: — aE E, Rowland Harriman, fresident of the society, issued et a sh¢tial statement praising the millions of volunteers he | who tfforts have made possible assistance to thousands rst of flggd, fire, tornado and other disaster victims. ate ~44 ~vOf course, the Red ‘Cross maintains its operations Abrough the efficient services of a number of paid em- ~ployees but it is no disparagement to them to 1 atten- tion to the impossibility of adequate Red Cross service without the work of volunteers throughout the nation.
