Young America Armored in He Sophietication Left to fend for himself, as he usuiil ly makes sure that he is left, the aver age young American is surprising!} precocious In getting his sea legs. It he has had free rein through his last years In high school he has an armor of hardness and sophistication by the time he reaches college which his fa ther probably did not possess at thirty and his mother mny not yet possess.

This legal tender quality was withdrawn by the Joint resolution approved July 22, . 1876, and the coinage was limited to such amount aa the secretary of the treasury should consider sufficient to meet the export demand.
