We heartily endorse and take great
( pleasure. in reproducing the following
+ editorial from: the West Virginia Edu.
Gator. published by State superintend.
cent NJ. p. shawkey:
The latter part of January Governor
Glasscock. President Purinton. Colone
= Hodges. of the State Board of Control
anil the State Board OF Regents spent
a5s,week studying educational institll.
lions In other States and In consulting
with the men who have accomplished
things. In these States. For boards oil
regents to devote themselves to theIl
tasks In such practical manner Is
unusual and for the Governor OF the
Stnte to give n whole week OF his time
exclusively to the study OF the ehuca
ttonal problems is unprecedented The
State is to be congratulated that II has
governor so alive to the great cause
OF education. This means much 10 The
State and much 10 all those engaged
IN educational work throughout the
Y State. The week thus spent has nj
ready given birth to new Ideas and
new plans which will have the govern
or. continuous and active support. and
that means their actual realization in
fact. !, So
We have come to the time when cd.
ncational undertakings In this State
must be built on larger and more lib.
eral plans. We have been In the habit
too much OF comparing ourselves with
ourselves and -congratulating ourselves
on that comparison. We must. to be
wise. compare ourselves with the great
and growing peoples OF other common.
Wealths-nnd with our own nosslble
selves.
For Instance. the University OF wis.
consin can show where its services for
q, the past few years have Increased the
agricultural income of the State more
tnan s20'Oo0.00O annually. This Is only
the material side OF 1t. The showing
on the other side is just as good.
II West Virginia Is going to keen
pace with Wisconsin she must avail
herself of the experience Of Wisconsin
and other States. even the whole
World. and go ut her problems on 4
plan in keeping with the times and our
OWE unrealized means and ability. We
: must realize that nrony. spent unon
efficient education is not a contribution
but an Investment. and we must be
4 shrewd enougi, to sec that It is being
\ proved BY other States ana nations to
DC; not only an .orllnary Investment but
one OF the best oil ali p1ssible invest.
Slnents. We mast train our Young
folks to think in larger terms and
more generous proportions. We must
be less sentimental and more scientific
IN applying the processes OF education
70 the social and economic problems OF
our time. While doing well, let lis no,
be too easily satisfied with what we
are doing.
IL appears that Governor GlasscocI,
has Understood this situation better
Than most Of our public men. and his
attitude on the question viii BIO a grenl
help to the State.
