The standards of American boys
and girls do not originate mys-
teriously or by accident, and are
not created by original thinking.
Experience and observation teach
young people what are the actual
standards of their elders, and they
initiate men and women they most
admire. If they see cynicism ac-
copied by leaders in public and
private life, no preaching will con-
vince them that honesty is the
best policy. Our youth is a mir
ror in which the older generation
sees itself truly reflected.-Anti
och News.
