GIADLJATIN6 INTO LIFE
y.
01111g people are faced with decisions of great import.
ance to them and to the country, according to the
Monthly Letter of The Royal Bank of Canada. Those
who graduate from our schools this year must decide at
gime what vocation they shall follovv; within a few years'
they must make up their minds about marrying and found-
•ing a family; and from now on they are charged with a cer-
tain responsibility for the development of Canada. AN this
reqeires that they set up a philosophy of life, if they have
not already done so. „
Graduates have been through chosen courses; mat-
riculation, science, philosophy, arts, engineering, and so
ter. The next course is in surviv.al—not physical survival;
because that is comparatively easy in this age—but survival
as free men and women getting great satisfaction out of
life.
All over Canada another kind of graduating is tak-
ing place, the graduation of young people from foreign lands
into Canadian life. All winter they have been studying, aric.
today they are able to understand the English or French
languages. ,At the International Branch of the Y.M.C.A. in
Montreal ,the boys and girls sat on the edges of the chairs,
so eager were they to answer questions, to say sentences
in English,
This is a graduation that is not only interesting but
significant. These youths have escaped from bondage in
countries ruined by war and oppression,. They are making
their way into the freedom of Canadian society. -They will
be the parents of Canadian children a few years hence. By
their study they are building up for those children a better
chance than will be enjoyed by children whose parents ding
to their old-v,rorld language and castonis,

FISHING IS AN EXCUSE
Brooks are for little boys, comments The Printed
Word. Others, such as strolling, Movers, make cocas -
loud use of brooks, but their emotions are not al-
waiys sincerely centred on the brook for itself alone. Little
boys hold the brooks by the prescriptive right of coming
generation after generation, on Saturdays, or Sundays after
Sunday school, or weekdays after ordinary school, ar on
any other blissful hrylida3r time to jump across the brook,
or teeter across it on a leaning tree, or get a• foot wet, or
fall in completely, or swim naked, or fish or build ambitious
dams and huts, or lie in the sand by a driftwood fire eating
burned wieners, or play endless games of running and hid-
ing and fighting and yelling.
Little boys still find time 110 come to the brook in
spite of organized sport and the movies and the general mid-
way atmosphere of modern living. They come because brooks
have proved too hard for civilization to organize, except
when streams run right through a town—and even then they
soinetimes break look. The brook's glen, with its soil too
poor for cultivation and its trees too scraggly for cutting,
remains a secret, magic place, fairly safe from adults.
Only pow * early May do the adults come in any consid-
erable numbers. But these men who move with vast attempts
at silence along the brook are merely pretending to be adults
Their reels and tapered lines and fancy tied flies are compli-
cated excuses for sneaking back with ponderous dignity to
the club they are supposed to have outgrown, the brook
world of little boys.

consider very seriously the holding of a strike of 125,000
