Romantic Youth Still Smiles On
To War

1t is interesting to speculate how long the institu-
tion Of war could be maintained if it we're impossible
to persuade all young, untried soldiers that the af-
fair was a gay and romantic adventure.
The young fellow who is starting off for the front
invariably goes with a song and a smile. How he
comes back may be something else again; but at least
he starts out with the conviction that the sky is
blue. that he is a stout fellow, and that unimagin-
able excitement and glamorous doings are ahead of
him.
AL this was called to mind recently by publica-
ton OF a newspaper photograph showing a contingent
Of Italian troops embarking for Africa, where Signor
Mussolini seems on the verge Of starting something
1t was a traditional photograph Of its kind; grin
ming, hilarious young men waving their arms, fond
ling their guns and laughing; heads protruding from
car windows. eager faces expressing all the gay
anticipation Of youth beginning a high adventure.
And to look at it is TO feel a deep regret that ex-
perience is. after all. the only teacher to which
youth will listen.
Young men have been going off to war through
endless centuries, and each time they have started
out In just this way-with smiles and laughter and
e~xpectant cheers. TO bump into reality quite unlike
their brave expectations.
Probably Caesars legions pulled out Of Rome with
the same air only TO find out, when they got
into the thick Of things in Gaul, that there was pre-
cACNo AAeeN III dNAhb odAllC SPEARS STUCK
into their stomachs. and that soldering carries with
IL an uncommon amount Of bridge-building, ditch
digging, and similar back-breaking and unromantic
jobs.
Every army since then has had to learn the same
sort of lesson. The Crusaders started out With flut-
tering banners. and discovered that typhus was one
of those features Of war that they hadn't thought
about.
The ebunient young colonists who enrolled in l776
couldn't look ahead to Valley Forge; the young Ger
mans who gaily chalked Mach Paris" on their rail-
way cars as they left Berlin had no way Of foresee-
ing the horrors Of Verdun and Ypres.
And so it goes. The history of war is one long,
tragic story Of terrible establishment of youth, and
It is there for anyone TO read; but no one heeds it.
Each young generation must learn for itself. 1t
simply will not believe what it reads.
SO We have these Italian boys singing and laugh
ing as they head for Africa-and to look at their
picture is TO understand why it is still possible for
war to exist.

Whatever may be happening to the recovery pro-
gram as a whole. the cost Of living seems to be
making an extremely successful come back.
Secretary of Agriculture Wallace himself predicts
that meat prices will be up 81 per cent by 1885. Beef
and pork viii be up % per cent by July 1. Porter
house steak and bacon are apt to be classed as com
pany dishes" before the year Is over.
All Of which lends some point TO the complaint Of
the Peoples Lobby that the consumer Is getting a
pretty poor sort of protection in the campaign to put
the farmer in better shape.
There may be exaggeration in the lobbys assertion
that the recent purge" in AAA means that lex
plotting and profiteering interests have got control
Of that agency" but it is pretty obvious that the con-
sumner is carrying more than his share Of the load.

Parents are coming more and more to realize that
they are just as responsible as is the school for proper
development Of their children, and even more 50
when it comes to the health Of the young ones.
The child may be told in school about the i'm
portance Of regular use of the toothbrush, about the
desirability Of washing the hands and of bathing at
fairly regular intervals. 1t remains, however, for the
parents to make certain that the child does wash its
teeth, that 1t does battle regularly. and that it does
wash its hands frequently.
The child may be told in school about the i'm
p~ortance OF a well balanced diet, including plenty Of
fresh vegetables, fruits, cereals, and other essentials,
but unless the parents cooperate by providing such
diet, the child cannot observe the type Of eating that
he knows is right.
In the school the child may be provided with
proper light for study, proper seating for posture,
and adequate amounts OF fresh air. only to return to
a home in which the lighting is wrong, posture new
er given a thought, and ventilation impossibly bad.
You should realize that incubation of health
habits in the child must be a cooperative effort be-
tween school and home.
1t is obviously desirable that teachers be informed
as to the home conditions and. perhaps through
parent-teacher associations. obtain the kind OF CO.
operation necessary for best results.
In many communities are school physicians who
ulucIldhe lHe preliminary eAhnliIldIlOnS, lnQlcaJlng
the presence of remediable defects in the child.
Frequently the teacher is the first to notice existence
Of such defects and to call them to attention Of the
school physician.
In other places there are no school physicians. IN
der such circumstances the school may well call 10
attention Of the parents the necessity for giving the
child a physical examination for detection Of such
defects.
Moreover, once the defects are discovered, you
should follow up the matter by making certain that
the child gets the kind Of treatment necessary to
cure the disturbance or stop its progress.
A few generations back there we're no school
nurses. no school physicians, no Fairgrounds. anal no
systematized physical education. Today the i'm
portance Of these accessories to the school system is
recognized. The costs Of proper health supervision
in schools are considerable. but they more than re-
pay themselves in the production Of healthful chill
dren.
