THOUGHTS FOR THE TIMES
Tiik Taught Oh Ciutjcism. “What is commonlycalled the youngest generation is really the oldest of all—the heirs of all our history who will benefit or suffer from the effects of the works and doings of their elders. The younger generations—fathers, grandfathers, etc—are naturally distressed. or at any rate inconvenienced, by the new ways of thought, often hastily translated into action, which may none the less be signs of true progress. But the fateful error of all young things is that they live experimentally. whereas their elders have a fund of experience of life to guide them. In the circumstances it is natural. human nature being what it is. that this oldest generation should constantly he the target of criticism, especially from the middle-aged, who are losing grip, and have not as yet attained the equanimity —‘serene as a Lapland night.’—of old age content with retrospect.” —The “Alorning Post.”
