Young America,


Last week we took occasion to mem
tlon the clever boys who led the Chris
tian Endeavor and voice little phopn-
|ecy concerning them. We have been
ready to acknowledge the inability of
old men to keep pace with youth but
we got jolt this week that made
us take note Of some things
Two very young and extremely pre-.
possessing young ladies called cur bluff
with the following Reconsideration
are always blowing UP the boys for
every little thing they do end you nev-
er notice what we girls do even If it
is smart. We lead the Endeavor twice
and did it as well or better than the
boys did and you never noticed It at
sll. We are just as smart as they
are but you swelled their heads so they
are not even nice 10 US telling them
what great things they are going to
do. We just guess we are going 10 do
just as great things in the future as
any Of your old boys and you might
just as well say so too" Which prove
that Young America is going to be
equal to the task Of running the fu-
ture however as great the task may
be.
Co-educatiou is the reason for the
rapid advancement of civilization in
the past decade and the influence of
these wonderful girls on the future is
beyond our ability to even guess.
Our only excuse is that we expect
them to be smart and it is not unus-
ual as ic is with the boys so we didn't
think It was news,
