that we prove to them that life Is

that as they are not responsible for

Now, this spirit Of restlessness and

earlier times, when the struggle for
existence was harder, youth did not
have time for the consideration Of
many abstract problems with which
they Wreatle today. The condition is
due also to the greater intellectual
freedom and curiosity OF our time.
Those who are experiencing these

The Presidential Piscator.

When a few months ago President
Coolidge was reported as speaking
slightingly Of fishing as q sport for
men or boys 1t was generally felt that
Ii his words were truly recorded they
bespoke q misconception Of the true
nature Of that diversion. Later It was
explained on his behalf that Mr.. Cool
idge did not dsprecate fishing a. q
aggression, but he regarded It as q
poor substitute for business.
That Mr.. Coolidge was not quite
wen Informed on the subject Of fishing
has been proved by recent events.
This does not involve any criticism.
