UNEMPLOYED YOUTH The winners in life's race, as in every Marathon, are those who ca n withstand the long: grind and finish strongest a t the taoe But what of those who may not en ter for Ijick Of road HT)̂ e? That is the chief problem of Canadian youth today. " ̂ It must be admitted th a t due to modem trends in educa tion and in the upbringing of children they are not so hard trained to meet the long grind as were their fathers. Life h a battle and pugilists do not use pneumatic gloves in prepar ation for the gruelling contests within the squared circle. Much of their training, indeed, is directed towards the harden- ing of the body to meet the onslaught of blows. To this extent youth nowadays is not so well prepared as it m ight be to take part 'in the bitter struggle for existence, however wide its knowledge may be of a variety of subjects. I t also suffers frqm our democratic inability to recognize the fallacy ' of much speaking. But the real difficulty confronting them is insufficient space, or, in other words; the lack of a sufficient number of jdbs to go round. And for this the machine age and the drift to the cities are chiefly responsible, more particularly the former. Unskilled labor is being used less and less in factories and manufacturing. plants as new machines gradually but ruthlessly take the^place of man. The old craftsmanship with its many workers trained almost i from boyhood in the mysteries of their arts---for in many a lirte i t was almost an .art--has gone. In its place stands much revolving and re volting machinery requiring the attention of only a few skilled handlers. And unskilled youth is not, wanted in spite of the faci that in this country for th e past 'fifty years the number of youtlis as a whole has been steadily decreasing in proportion to the total population. Yet industry has for a long time only absorbed ninety per cent of , this biological supply. The drift to the cities has resulted in lall the commercial and professional fields being filled-to overflowing, and in these only the sharpest or most brilliant intellects can make a reasonable living. The remainder not so, blessed by nature eke out a pitiful existence which is for all intents,and purposes slavery in everything but the name. • Remains the land. And th ere youth hesitates, brought up softly in the m ajority of cases within the* range of the bright lights and unaccustomed to the lack of conveniences ,̂ and the quiet-oLthe^^-P-ntEy;^,:.JIp4^ar:,tbe,circumsfaftc^,itis, , hardly to be wondered at, although the tim e may not be so far distant when economic necessity may force most of us to desert the large cities to, farna^ for a living on the land.
