WHITTIER DRIFT1NG9
A Protest on a Pessimistic Graduating
Essay.

To the Editor OF the Reflector
CHAPMAN, April ". AT the grad
uating exercises held in the high
school building in Chapman last Fri
day evening an Grafton was given by
a lad just about entering his teens
that should cause parents and
teachers some concern, under the
title Of "Whither are we drifting"
A statement Of our social condition
was given after the style and logic Of
a cynical, soured political demagogue.
Everything is wrong, even the.reform
party was accused of treachery by the
youthful orator. A very good rehash
Of some political speech of the Jerry
Simpson order was given, reaching
It's climax in this statement which Is
given almost verbatim: "And young
girls who should shine in society and
adorn the home are forced to sell
their virtue and innocence for paltry
living"
Think Of a lad in knee pants utter
ing such libels! Can it be he under
stands what that statement meansp
Is Young America so old at that age
as to give orations on the social evilp
II the lad Is familiar with the mean.
ing Of the statement he so glibly
made; is 1t not time parents were ask
ing in all seriousness whittier are our
children driftingP We believe the
boy to be ignorant Of the purport Of
his GRAFTON but why should some one
teach him such untruths to be spoken
before a public audence9 Why COM
mence to teach school boy to falsiiy
and to look only upon the dark side
Of lifeP DO not men get cynical soon
enough even II their boyhood school
days are made as pleasant as their
innocent natures allowp
Confession must be made that this
Grafton met with the heartiest APP
plause by the audience. Whether 1t
was because OF the sentiments ex-
pressed or because Of the manner Of
its delivery, for he had pleasant
manly address, know not. But it
seems strange that in community
where virtue and innocence are so
prominent feature as ours, and
where almost every girl and woman
are living denial to such libelous
statements, they should be greeted by
applause, when coming from the lips
Of innocent childhood. CRITIC.

wound. The injured man is Charles
