Encourage Spirit of Adventure.

The spirit of adventure, so nearly universal in youth, commonly is thwarted at every-turn. Yet this is one of its finest "gifts; when it has gone, life’s greatest promise is past An educational system should nurture and direct this spirit, bringing it to expression in a daring to aim at high standards, in adventures into new fields of action, thought, and knowledge ; in a desire for the hard, strenuous things which temper and stabilize character. The sporting instinct of youth demands these difficult tasks, and life is stale when they cannot be found. —Arthur E. Morgan, in the Atlantic.
