IE WASTED GEMERATION
writes in his journal as follews:
"My father and grandfather, and his father before him,
were brought up te public service, as the result of a system of so
ciety and education which demanded service of them. What, all
at once, has happened te our generation? We had everything te
make us leaders, family traditions, unlimited opportunity, and
undoubted energy; yet the only result that I can see of our educa

heaping up of material comforts, or te make of us triflcn and
dilettanti; in a word, parasites.
"It may have been our fault, but I think it was deeper,
the fault of national thinking. Undoubtedly in the future the irre

my brothers, I can give but one judgment. We are a generation

mnte development altogether expected
from what has gene before.
Of pint there Is comparatively little,

the younger succeeded, under similar
