Move About aIIttle

There is something impressive in
the st-ry Of a lifetime Of persistent
toll. 3 writer in the Youths Com
panic But there Is another point
Of view which deserves respect The
sad-about may be a useless member
Of society. but the stay-at-home is
likely to be a narrow one. We find
ourselves on this little planet with
its oceans and mountains and mighty
rivers and wide prairios We know
not whence we came nor II we shall
ever pass this way again Surely we
may do our tAak better in our own
appointed place If We look about the
world. feed our minds with the glo-
ries of nature and discover how men
and women before US have lived their
lives and embodied their aspirations
IN the great arts Of building and paint
ing and sculpture The wheat field
and the ledger and the cooking stove
are facts Of human life: but SO are
the Cologne cathedral, the Sistine Ma
donna, the Canadian Rookeries and
the Valley Of the Yellowstone.
