pride which the parents cannot always
reasonably take in themselves. 1t is

and underdiscplined, till there Is

tons will be of grandfathers who, by
virtue of that fine native American
longheadedness, delivered the goods
of their period and were promptly and
suitably rewarded. But there will be
few traditions of courtliness, scant
reminders that noblesse oblige, and
but scattered memories of inherited re
sponsibilities. The semipiternal dollar
will still dominate. One generation

the police are making every effort to

prevented, he said, by the absence oi
