SHOOTING NIAGARA 23!

All tills was true. The good man, looking back on Ills life
of struggle and seemingly miraculous achievement, knew how

much greater were the opportunities of the young workers of the
new age than were those of the old. But the young who had
never experienced the full, fury of the storm of Lhxz-jaire merely
knew that they were born into a world of mean streets, monoton-
ous labour, cramping poverty and narrowing uncertainty. They
inherited from the past, not only elementary and secor clary
schools, labour exchanges, and Council houses, but ba.il digestions,
uninspiring surroundings and the instability of a commercial
system based not on haman welfare bat on profits. They were
better off than their parents but they were not satisfied with
their lot. For their instincts, as well as the professional preachers
of disconteiit5 told them that something was still lacking.
