Educational Enlightenment

There are some things about
Puritan New England that we
may not like, but no one accuses
its. citizens of lacking shrewd-
ness.
Thousands of Southerners get
their education there because
the facilities and opportunities
for study are admittedly of the
best.
In Boston, for instance, they
have long ago reached the con-
c1usion that to build up child IS
mind to the neglect of his body
is to SOW a crop of poor citizens.
Accordingly, physical training
in the schools is more or less
mandatory. In one community
the regular use of the gymnasi-
UNI and swimming pool where
every child is made to learn to
swim is part of the curriculum.
And the taxpayers cheerfully
assume the expense, although the
total tax rate-state, county and
municipal-is kept under one and
a quarter per cent.
For this, the children get the
best kind of education, the streets
are regularly oiled and in sum-
mer are sprinkled by a town
owned water system and, many
other up to date and hygienic
advantages are enjoyed.
Sooner or later our Boards of
Education will act in providing
some kind of physical training
for our public schools.
The pity of it is that the school
children of today are missing
these itestimabie privileges.
Since the men seem blind to
the necessity for Fairgrounds and
exercise for our coming citizens.
perhaps we will have to wait UNI
til Equal Suffrage brings the re-
form about.

When A Mans Old.

Youth is not time of life; it is q
state of mind. = It is not matter of
ripe cheeks, red lips and supple knees;
1t is a temper of the will, quality of
the imagination. a'vigor of the emotions.
It is the freshness of the deep spring
life. !
Youth means temperamental pre-
dominance of courage over timidity, of
the appetite of adventure over the loye
of ease. This often exists in man Of
fifty more than in boy of twenty.
Nobody grows old by merely living a
number Of years. People grow old by
deserving their ideals.
Whether sixty or sixte n, there is in
every human BEINGS heart the lure of
wonder, the sweet amazement at the
stars and at starlike things and
thoughts, the undaunted challenge of
events, the unfailiDg childIike appetite
for what next, and JOY Of the game of
living. You are as young as your
faith, as old as your doubt; as young
as your self-confdence. as old as your
fear; as young as your hope, as old.as
kvour despair.
In the central place of your heart lis
an evergreen tree; its name is Love
So long as it fourishes. you are young.
When it dies you are old.
In the central place of of your heart
there is wireless station. SO long as
it receives messages of beauty, hope,
cheer grandeur, courage and power
from the heart, from men and from
the Infinite, SO long you are young.
When the wires are down, and all the
central places of your heart is covered
with the SHOWS of cynicism and the ice
of pessimism. chen you are grown old,
even at twenty, and may God have
mercy upon your soul!- Unidentified

Monkeying With the Buzz

The result of the late election
in Kentucky is interesting to the
student of politics.
The Democrats offered a fine
State ticket. Stanleystheir cam
didate for Governor being a man
of real ability and high standing.
But the party was put, whether
favorably or not, in the attitude
of leaning to the side of the liq-
uor interests.
The Republicans were shrewd
enough to seize the opportunity,
and the result is that the Demo-
cratic ticket will barely win by
the skin of its teeth.
By this time it should be evil
dent that both party righteous
ness and political expediency de-
mand an unequivocal stand on
the right side of all moral ques-
tionS.

Must Pay Up And Look Pleasant.

Apparently some of the Charleston
papers are disposed to advocate re-
pudiation of the judgment of the SUI
preme court of the United States in
the Virginia debt case. The better
way is to be honest and manly about it.
West Virginia contested the matter and
lost. The time to have repadiated the
debt was when it was an alleged debt,
and not after it has become court
judgment. There are those who think
the supreme court cannot enforce j its
DEGREES, in our opinion this Judgment
is not we'll supported. If the state
cannot be honest let it be as honest as
it can.-State Journal.

Let me but live my life from year to
year.
With forward face and unreluctant
soul;
Not hurfying to. nor turning from
the goal;
Not mourning for the things that dis
appear
In the dim past; nor holding back in
fear
From what the future wells. but with
whole
And happy heart that pays its toll
To Youth and Age and travels on with
cheer. I
So let the way wind up the hill or down.
Ger rough or smooth, the journey
will be joy:
Still seeking what sought when but

New friendship, high adventure and .
crown.
My heart will keep the courage of the
quest,
And hope the roads last turn will be

Advertising West Virginia.

H. e. Williams, State Commissioner
of Agriculture, is working upon plan
to make permanent exhibit of West
Virginia farming and agricultural pro
ducts and opportunities in Chicago,
with moving pictures to be shown in
connection with the exhibits, Williams
says that there is much land for sale at
SIS an acre in this state which will
grow apples superior to those grown
on land in the northwest for which
81, 600 an acre is paid, and that fine
b'ue grass lands can be purchased in
West Virgin at prices ranging from
$40 an acre up.

"HeaIths' Best Way--Eat Apples
Every Day."
The Real Issue In 1915.

Next year the opposing politi-
cal parties will, of course present
their several platforms to the vot-
ers for approval.
The tariff-which like t h e
poor, is always with us, although
as result of war conditions it is
or should be a dead issue-Pre-
paredness, Mexico, these and
doubtless many other problems
will be under discussion.
But the paramount issue can
be epitomized in the. Presidents
declaration Of America first y
1t is becoming more and more
evident that the "German-Amer-
lean" e / e m mot meaning
those good citizens of German
birth or extraction who regard
their allegiance to the United
States as something more than "a
scrap of paper"-is planning to
punish the President because he
declines to tolerate the crimes of
these hyphenated Huns.
In Maryland the "Germaff-
American Democrats CD secret
ly knitted the State ticket as re-
buke-God save the mark Ito
Wilson.
In New York, one Weisman,
who has hitherto posed as a loyal
Democrat, now boasts that secret
meetings of his ilk were held at
which arrangements we're made
to throw their strength to the
Republican candidate for SUI
preme Court Judge for the same
reason, and now this vehmger-
icht" g1ories in the success of
its treachery.
More traitorous than the Tor
les of colonial days and obsessed
with the idea that they hold the
balance of political power, they
propose to inject an issue in our
national politics abhorent to all
true Americans and subversive
of good citizenship.
If we understand the temper of
the American people Alright, a
sad awakening is in store for
these gentry.
Real Americans-those of what
ever racial stock, who are for
America First and last and all
the time, will resent the treach-
cry of these vipers that a free
country has warmed in her bos-
om-by casting them into the
utter darkness of political obscur-
ity and branding them as par
iahs in the land Of their adop-
ton.
