Youth Important As
Building Period

Editor, The Herald.
Youth is the period OF building
up In habits. and hopes, and faiths
Not an hour but is trembling With
destlnles. not q moment. once
passed, Of which the appointed
work can ever be done again, or
neglected blow struck on the cold
iron :"
Ruskin
Youth is the season Of hope, en-
terprise. and it is during this sea
son. more than any other. that
character assumes its permanent
shape. III principle, character build
II ing is like building d stormproof
house. If the foundations are made
and built Of sound material. it will
withstand all violent winds that
blow.
So. also. il you build your character
upon solid and sound principles, you
viii IN most instances. be gable to
withstand the storms of$passions
and temptations Of the times in
which you live.
This involves and requires true
knowledge Of YOURSELF and your
associates and your environments.
All men are born equal only in the
sense that they have equal right
10 liberty. to their property. and
10 their protection OF the laws.
Otherwise. men are not equal. some
must command. some must follow
though all are made OF clay.
We all are important. whether we
lead or follow. every individual how
everehumble and unappreciated has
the right TO say: without me. this
generation would not be doing its
work. Many young men have failed
TO achieve importance only because
they were disdainful of the lesser
aspects Of life
Character. as Aristotle taught il
q habit. the daily choice between
right and wrong. 1t is quality
which grows to maturity, and where
courage IS concerned the boy is
father to the man In the long run
out nations strength begins in the
home and school. where character
Is built. In this outer-space age,
at the gray dawn Of One World,
let US strive to plant 50 deeply in
the hearts Of our youth the seeds
OF tolerance and respect, Of honor
and integrity, that a better world
will come. not from fear Of atomic
destruction. but as a natural harvest
Of our thoughtful planting.
Cordially yours.
