Somewhere there may be men or women in whose hearts the scenes and associations of their childhood rouse no tender emotions. To such i f they exist, the annual recurrence of Old Home Week means nothing; but to all others who have wandered out into the world it means much, even as it means much to the homesteads and the communities to which they return. The O:d Home movement is really nothing new. It began ages ago, when some undefined impulse drew the nomadic savage back to the valley where he was born or to the mountainside where he learned his first lesson in hunting There is in it, however, something that is not included in the uefination of patriotism, something more than the filial love that draws our feet to the graves of; ancestors, as to a shrine; something, associated with the deepest springs i ot personality and memory. Within the past decade much has I been said and much written about go-1 ing back to the old home farm or the old home town or the old home state. As a result, these pilgrimages have : < < cnie an essential part of the life ot' thousands of Americans; a yearly observance to which they look forward with deep emotion as the summer days draw on. They are not to be confused with vacation trips or ou'.;ngs at popular summer resorts. They may, indeed, to be either, but they are always vastly more than either. The old home pilgrim, even when there are no loved ones waiting to welcome him, is cleansed in spirit and uplifted by the return.
