Tragedy of Youth Brings One Realization of Need To Be

TO the Very Young
BY WINIFRED BLACK.

When you are very young 1t Is very
dreadful to be different"
Now, when you cant add fractions
you just get somebody else to add

Don't you remember the Swinging
bridge in the ravine in the woods last
summer? 1t stretched over the httie
tumbling stream like. Il cobweb spread
by some giant spider
They first time you crossed 1t how
you trembled.
You walked slowly and set your foot
down with great care, and every time
the bridge swayed a little, as IT always
did. and always was supposed TO do'
you looked back at the firm ground be-
hind you and wished you had never
heard of the pretty swinging bridge.
After you had crossed 1t a few times
yyu stepped lightly across and sang
under your breath as you went.

Life is bridge. A hanging bridge
thrown lightly over a tumblinS and
sometimes terrifying stream. when you
first walk upon the bridge you tremble
at every step. If it should break! IL
you should slip! If it should all turn
But afterwards, what OF 1t"
You cross and recross somehow.
What does It matter?
One failure, more or less. One dis
appointment, less or more. One mistake
too many. One success too little, In
the long count OF the journey across
the bridge what does IT matter in the
end? so that we sing as We go, and
jostle no man from his rightful place,
and hurt nc woman from her safe
crossing.
Let's be very gentle with the chill
dren. Very kind to the very young.
They do not see life as We see 1t as a
whole.
To them each day Is the beginning
and the end.
Look! She's just starting across the
