this is party politics. I, is no such II
thing. but il is the kind of politics that
West Virginia needs VERY badly lust
now. and we refer to the kind of men
that our schools are irving to furnish
the state. 1t is character that makes
the man, And men of character are In
great demand lust now. not only in
West Virginia, but in all other states.
MAY the time soon come when such
men dominate the affairs of state
throughout the length and breadth of
our land. Make our schools what they
should be and Won make our statesmen
what they should be. Make our states
men what they should be. and the stars
and stripes will wave over free America

the treasury, but 1t consist in the de-
Helopcd brain and Drawn OF It's people.
DR.. d. Z. Purinton. Mt one time vice
president OF our state university, used
to say that West Virginia brain and
West Virginia Drawn mus; developc
West Virginia. If ever 1t Is properly de-
veloped as state. There Is more In
this than appears at first sight. While
we welcome good citizens from other
states and we owe them much, stu our
best development Is coming from those
who come 10 stay and those who are OF
the manor born. Let our present legis-
faturc then, from this time forth re-
deem itself by doing everything in Its
power to make our institutions OF
learning more efficient. This can be
done FOR we have the money to do 1t.
| and the writer believes We have the
men In the Legislature that so value the
work Of our schools ns to make liberal
appropriations wherever needed.
