(Continued on Page 30) Youth at the Gate Carolyn Taylor, ’44 In a time when man’s energy, knowl edge and intelligence, once used to make humanity live happily and comfortably together, is being used to the Nth degree to destroy mankind, perhaps the greatest concern of the world is “whither bound youth?” About this season of the year cartoon ists devote a great deal of their attention to the college graduate. One cartoonist has pictured him with his diploma in hand, a baffled look on his face, walking unsteadily into the outstretched welcom ing hand of War. The title of this picture is Education for Death? Another cartoonist pictures him stand ing at a gate at the end of a walk, writ ing. In the background are his high school and his college and standing near the graduate are his parents. The title of the picture is Youth at the Gate. Below the pictures are these words: “Go through, go through the gate, prepare ye the way of the people, cast up, cast up a highway, gather out the stones, lift up a standard for the people,” taken from Isaiah 62:10.

But. if youth is not careful to plan his program so that men will endeavor to acquire attitudes of understanding and discernment needed to build social ef ficiency of the people of the world so that they will maintain and not destroy this new T order of mutual dependence he plans to build, his effort will merely be the prelude to an even greater World War III. Youth must include in his program means to build a world in which rulers of countries and their diplomatic am bassadors shall find a way in keeping with modern civilization to settle na tional and international disturbances other than by resorting to the cruel war practices of the ancient emperor. Wars have never settled a dispute nor established a safe style of peace, hut, rather, have fanned the flame of unrest, engendered a spirit of retaliation and thereby bequeathed suffering, desolation and ruin to past society. Youth must plan living conditions that will convert the large sum of money (Continued on Page 29)
