New Year’s resolutions for time energy and education
The piece argues for budgeting time and energy as crucial as money in 1930, urging five resolutions centered on Christian education, child and youth work, parent teacher involvement, and training the next generation. It notes the need to invest in education over desire and warns that neglecting training leads to societal decline while sharing a colonial-era anecdote about a mill town heir and the futility of multi-generation inheritances.
