It is unique in its mission. Your standards are of the highest; you never lower them, and you hold them a little higher every year. Your contributions to the cause of education are not only considerable but are of the latest and best thought obtainable. The educational profession owes you a distinct recognition for your adherence to high principles built on high moral foundations. As one of the guild I want to express my sincere thanks to you for the noble and unselfish work you are doing through the medium of EDUCATION. (For personal reasons the writer of the above asks that his name shall not be printed. His testimonial, however, was entirely spontaneous and unsolicited.) INFORMATION ABOUT The Publishers of “EDUCATION.” THE MAGAZINE "EDUCATION Established in 1880 by the late Hon. Thomas W. Bicknell, Notable American Educator. Its first article (on Text-Books and Their Uses) was by Hon. William T. Harris. The present Editor joined the Editorial Staff in May, 1892. All articles in Education are original contributions, not to be had elsewhere. Its contributors are, practically all, able and active Educators. Aims to aid all School and College Officials and Teachers in solving their daily problems. Its issues are monthly, from September to June inclusive. Most Librarians bind the numbers annually, in July or August. A Title Page and a Table of Contents for a given Volume appear in the June issue. We can usually supply missing back numbers when you bind the year's numbers. Do not throw away your back numbers; they have a cash value. Librarians may safely suggest Education as a source-book of information on teaching and administration. Devoted to the Science, Art, Philosophy and Literature of Education VOL. XLIX. MARCH, 1929 No. 7 S The Revolt of Youth BARNET RUDMAN, PITTSFIELD, MASS. SOMETIME in the early days of the World War (let the historian ascertain the exact date and place) a spirited maiden walked into a barber shop and asked to have her hair cut. An irreverent barber performed the ignoble act and there and then was fired the first shot of youth's revolt. The incident at the time received scant publicity and the nation remained blissfully unconscious of the gathering clouds. A few years later, however, the "bobbed hair" malady assumed the proportions of a national epidemic, casting its shadow over every home in the land. Parents grew hysterical. Editors' desks were flooded with requests for counsel, letters carrying tales of woe, of defiant daughters, of stern fathers threatening to disown them, of despairing mothers, of the American Home, in fact, divided against itself. With characteristic solicitude for the welfare of their readers newspapers instituted emergency service stations manned by celebrated moral and social experts and dedicated to the sole task of offering, free of charge, divine guidance to American parenthood. This was a mere beginning. Other symptoms of unrest soon became manifest. From rostrum and pulpit now came the charge that girls were smoking and boys were drinking, and that, in a few extreme cases, minors openly demanded the right to live their lives as they pleased.
