tion has got to find an answer for. Ap- parently, the search for a solution is going to be something of a hunt. There are ideals enough far off, among the stars, if only, as Emerson whimsically suggested we might hitch our wagons to them But on the level horizon of practical, everyday life ne must have sharp eyes who can see any assured promise of dawn.
 I'd is never wise to cling fatuousjy to the old when the new offers improve ment and progress. Such conduct is rightly sneered at as "oId fogyisr1." But when the new offers neither improvement nor progress, but instead a nitiful reac- ton towards lower levels of life, its wei come should be delayed by men of character.
 Now that the law of supply and de- nand has gone into the discard, what other seemingly fixed law of human re- lationship can we be sure of? Are all the other old landmarks to be obliter- ated too?
 Personally, I do not so much desider- ate for the farmers of the nation tha educat ton in salesmanship which Secre tary Wallace urges, as l do re-dedica , ton to service and a renewal of our al legiance to character.
