Tax reform is the burning issue. and
ranking with this is the attitude of
the state toward corporations. which
have become very powerful in West
Virginia, and have an even greater
influence on politics than they have
in most other states. Governor White,
who is strong supporter of Dawson,
declares that problems of taxation
are not solved by suppression. and
he will discuss the question all over

The NeWneSS of Life
by DIR. GEORGE HARRIS
PeNhknto Of mleru cousse

n 1IFE is a journey that one takes, never coming back the same way.
ii full of fresh and interesting experiences, for its sources and
IN61J resources are ilimnablc. and instead of cxhausung them in fifty
or sixty years, one see only a part and needs an eternity to see
and appreciate the whole.
Constant newness of life exists in intellectual. interests, in love of lit
eraturc, which is always an mfaiing growth of character according to
the pattern of Christ.
Indirectly there is constant change, no two generations being alike.
The rise of the peaceful in intelligence, in comfort and in political power.
fraught with danger as it is, yet fraught with blessings, too, is all dis
tnctve of the modern age. We see problems that are new. social and
political conditions unprecedented, The twentieth century does not re-
peat the nineteenth century. The relations OF man to man, of class to
class, of nation to nation and of church to church, will be healthier and
purer.
1t is the selfish person that is lost when he grows old, for his capacity
of enjoyment decays and desire fails. With the selfish motion dominant
to get pleasure from life one must become tired of it, for it is the same
thing over and over. With a motion of service, of promoting the welfare
OF men, of bearing a part in the great movement of purpose, life is ever
fresh and new.

o. usefulness. Women are accused OF looking at things in too personal
a way, OF lacking in breadth of view; and we fear the accusation is just
rather than otherwise. So often in the mothers meetings a mother will
talk at length about the ailments, pecuiaities and charms of her own
offspring. and be so wrapped up in thought of her individual child, her
mind is not receptive for wide data. And ii is the wide data. the prn-
eiple' arrived at after careful contemplation and experimentation with
many children. that s. of real scientific value.
How arc mothers to be reached by the modern scientific methods
1t seems to us by bringing the parents back into the school, by association
with trained teachers, with educators. Parents clubs should be formed
having fora center the school attended by the children Of the members.
Parents should keep pace with the progress made in child study, with
the educational trend and methods of the day. None of the parents may
be able to make an exhaustive study of psychology or the philosophy of
education, but all can learn valuable lessons by association and confer
enee with those that have made such a study.
The educators will be helped by the parents to a further knowledge
of the Children under their care; the parents will become personally
familiar with conditions in the school, realize facts. Such association
will help to do away with that harmful, ignorant antagonism between
teacher and parents frequently aroused when questions Of discipline come
up School and home should not be isolated. Home should supplement
the school; not undo. or weaken, its work.
School and home working together seems to us the ideal for this
democratic land. Good principals and teachers in a community, and
there need be little demand for a social settlement to engage in reform
work. Form well. and little reform will be needed. Interest both parent
and child in the building up Of sturdy, independent citizens. and our pub
lie schools will realize to a much greater extent the ideals of their
founders.
And this is what we mean when we say more science is needed in
the training OF children: that parents. both father and mother, learn
something OF modern educational principles that they apply these prin-
cples in the home, and see that their children have teachers who apply
them in the school
