FUTURE OF DEMOCRACY
“The future of democracy depends very largely upon the youth of to-day. Upon them will rest a heavy responsibility, and it is their duty to train themselves so that they may be enabled to bring a sympathetic and broad-minded understanding to bear on the social, imperial, and industrial problems with which they must inevitably be confronted. The Junior Imperial League provides them with a means of political education. I welcome the steps which the league is taking to enrol m'ore members, and I sincerely hope that the youth of the country will be quick and ready to seize the opportunities which this great organisation affords them.” So stated the Prime Minister of Britain, Mr. Baldwin, addressing the Junior Imperial League. The league was' formed twenty-two years ago with a view to creating a practical knowledge of political work, to educate young people in good citizenship, and to impart a thorough knowledge of the British Constitution and the Empire.
