YOUTH TO-DAY
IS IT TJKE THAT OF YESTERDAY? ”“■■ . ' • The Bishop of Chelmsford, Dr. Henry Wilson, who is by no means old at 59, has something to say about modern youth in his monthly letter to his diocese. He says:— • \ “It is frequently implied that the young people of to-day are a very- exceptional type, and that in their production humanity has made a new departure and has produced a generation exceptionally difficult, very wayward, but unusually gifted, peculiarly kittle cattle, and requiring very delicate handling. . . ’• “I am of opinion that this is. not only nonsense, but mischievous nonsense, since it has infected many young people to-day with a superiority complex and made an even larger number very selfconscious.” . We think there is warrant 'for the bishop’s belief that there‘ is no foundation for the idea that the rising generation is essentially different in capacity., from the youth of 30 or 300 years ago, but we are sure that youth to-day has , unparalleled opportunity, won, by those who have handed on the torch.
