GOV. BROWN OPPOSES FREE BOOK.
A Political Crisis Presented by His Veto
of the Free School Books

a Political Crisis Presented by His Veto
of the Free School Books Bil
ANNAPOLIS, Md, March IS 1t is
said a grave political crisis has been
presented by the return to tho Senate
by Governor Brown of the bill providi ing
free school books in the public schools
OF Maryland. The governors message
is practically veto OF the bill which,
like the recently defeated assessment
bill, has been strongly supported by the
friends OF Senator German and actively
opposed by Governor Brown.
A fight will be made to enact the law
without the governors approval, and,
II it fails, it is understood the question
will be carried into the next Campaign
and The prediction is N ade that it will
will result in placing Maryland amo ng
tho debatable States.

An Easy Shrinking.

1t is a fact patent and common that
often very fond and attentive parents of
young children develop into very cold
and unsympathetc companions to
grown-up sons and daughters. They
romped with and fondled their babies,
but have neither heart nor interest for
the grown-up babies aims and pursuits.
AS the child grows older and his physi-
cal wants have been fully met and his
physical nature matured, the parents
sense of responsibility gradually ceases.
He feels no longer accountable for this
mans or woman's deeds or misdeeds,
and settles into a selfish disregard of
what he cannot help. 1t is an easy way
of shirking responsibility. Ii is seen too
often to be regarded as unusual.
Yet it is at this age that young peo-
pie need friends, confdants and ad-
visers. quite as much as when they were
younger. If they do not find sympa-
thizing hearts at home they will 60
somewhere else to find them. The
questions that are propounded, the
problems that gre poured into the mail
and into the sympathies of public men
and women editors, and everyone who
has the slightest claim TO notice, attest
this fact. The child you think thought
less or cold questions and studies out
many matters in his mind When he
comes to that point that he needs a
listener or an adviser he goes to some
one-not you. By some heaven-sent
chance he may speak to 'some one"
who will point out the up road, and
show him how to star. there But it
may not be so, and no parent with any
feeling of responsibility at all N af-
ford to take the chances.
Parents repel confidence in many
ways-by laziness; by feeling of ina
bility to put right view of life into
language which young person can
grasp; by shrinking from the unpleas-
antness of unaccustomed topics, ac-
companied by an easy but futile hope
that instinct, or something else, will
teach the young man or woman what
he or she needs to know.
Unfortunately, however, instinct and
chances are not the best guides for
young people at critical periods of their
lives. The age at which we make cur
most glaring and far-reaching mistakes
is the ignorant age. And the parent
who sends out young sons and daugh-
ters into the world as lambs into the
midst of wolves, without giving them
the benefit of the experience his own
mistakes and trials have taught him,
must feel self-condemned when the
lambs come home shorn, when the
young men and women spend years of
struggle and pain retrieving the blum
ders from which a little more candor
and confidence might have saved them.
We must all live better and learn to
live higher because of our mistakes, yet
the wish to save our children from the
same errors we made ourselves is a le-
gitimate one. At least it seems incon
sistent that the mother who wraps her
baby tenderly from the slightest breeze
should send the same baby, a few years
later, out into the evils of the world
with no knowledge of its protection
other than it may get from instinct and
from chances.-H0pe,'s Ba=m.
