into three main types: one emits
light downward and thus pro-

EDUCATION THE BUSINESS OF YOUTH

Millions of Americans, boys and girls,
young men and young women, are con-
tinuing their education this fall in the
schools, colleges and universities of the
nation.
Some of these students, no doubt, have
been seriously impressed with the troubles
that beset the world BY contrast, their
pursuit of learning represents inaction in
the midst of crisis. Some of them have
reached the conclusion that there are other
things more important than the pursuit of
education.
The editor of The Citizen would like
to go on record in opposition to such an
idea. The world has had troubles galore
in the past and will face great problems in
the future. The work of graphing with
the ills of mankind can be left, for the
present at least, to mature human beings.
Our young people will do well to continue
the development of their personality by
seeking to acquire wisdom.
After all, character building is largely
the work of youth. BY the time the aver
age man or woman reaches maturity, prin-
ciples have been accepted which later in
fluence the activities of life There is no
substitute for the formative period of life
and no time is lost that results in the de-
velopment of character
While the individual is inclined to
ponder what the world considers it's great
problems, the student should remember
that the average life is concerned for the
most part with questions that are of rel
ativeiy small Importance. Yet, the prin-
ciples an individual accepts and uses in APP
plieation to the smaller problems of life
are the same which must be applied to the
larger issues that confront mankind.
We trust that the students of Key
West now beginning their scholastic work
will not lose interest in their studies under
the false impression that they are not i'm
portant. Proper preparation for life itself
is the most serious business that can con
front youth.
No one should fail to take advantage
of every opportunity to become more in
telligent human being Certainly, the
future of the United States would suffer
great damage if all young people would
neglect their education under the mistaken
impression that they must devote their
time to more serious matters"

WE NEED A BALL PARK

Vastly increased baseball interest in
Key West is making the establishment of a
good park here matter of first rank inn
portance.
The sport has been picking up steadily
this summer, and has reached a point now
where the Island City League can put to-
gether a good club tomeet teams Of It's class
from other cities in the state - ~
Under present conditions, however,
the local team cannot invite other squadsan
Hey West, because there IS no possible
method of collecting enough money at the
park to meet even small guarantee.
If some method of financing grand
stand were worked out, and the park
fenced local baseball enthusiasts are con-
fident they could make the game pay, as
well as providing entertainment for the
many people here who are fond OF sports. .
Some OF the baseball players also be-
lieve that Key West would stand good
chance Of getting at least minor league
club here for Spring training If the city
could offer the team a reasonably good
field
With city and county treasures in
their present condition. the baseball en-
thusiasts aren't likely to get aaeh more
financial help in the near futpfeaoa
Establishment of bali park is some
thing to work for, though, and it ought to
be kept in mind by the city and county law
makers.

1854 PLANES IN AUGUST

This is encouraging but it merely rep

goal. Just the same, when new plants be-

Less than two thousand planes a

Of wat will be done in the future. After
all, the United States is just getting its

American industry will demonstrate its
superiority before the fighting in the air
comes to an end.

Most of us believe that this country
will never be invaded by an enemy. Why
then do we need such a large army? Is it
for the purpose of fighting in and for other
countries? 1t appears that way. Promises
that the boys will not be sent overseas don't
mean anything. Wasn't the solemn promise
given them that the induction was only for
the period of year? Is that promise being
kept?
