And it would be well if in the hands of every couple there could be placed a copy of the writings of Dr. Thomas Fuller, renowned English moraliat of the 1th century, who in his time was regarded as a spectalist on marriag nd related problema. “Marriage,” he said, “is not Olympus, wholly clear, without clouds, Yea, expect both wind and storm sometimes, which, when blown over, the air ix clearer and wholesomer for it.” He advised against choosing wives for alone and, in this connection, told of a floating island in Scotland that swam away with | that were tied to it.

And then mildly she argues the matter, not so much to con: demn him as to acquit herself.” “Her clothes,” he said, “are comely rather than costly, and she makes plain cloth to be velvet by her handsome wearing it. Our good wife sets up | a sail according to the keel of her hushand’s eatate,” And of the good husband, Dr, Fuller wrote: “He | alloweth her to meet maintenance, but measures it by his own estate; nor will he give her leas nor will she ask more. “Knowing she is the weaker vessel, Be bears | with her infirmities. He is careful that the wounds betwixt them take not alr, and not be publicly known, Jars concealed are half reconciled.” All of which is as good advice in 1920 as It was in 1620.

School. Grades What happens to the child who ranks highest | in his school examinations? Or, vice verma, to the | one who ranks lowest? Verily, the last shall be first, one learns from a report just issued by school experts of the federal ‘ bureau of education This report cites the experience of a Japanese university which once named a committee to deter mine what sort of examination should be given the youth of that land in order to select young men showing the greatest promise for the future. The committee, after an exhaustive study of the biographies of eminent men, reported “The one most prevalent characteristic of men of mark in thelr school days is that they could not pass their examinations.” As a remedy for the unreliability of examinations } in determining actual ability, government experts recommend greater streasing of general work, apti- | tude and progress, and recognition of the fact that, instead of measuring up to & theoretical standard | of excellence, a school class is simply a normal group of individuals in which’ a few show marked proficiency, many have average attainments and a few are poor. The ability of a school child can be judged more accurately by an every-day comparison with the standard of his class than by formal examinations. True enough, Sand Point will be the coun- ty’s official flying field. But that won't stop high flying in the city limits.

Nothing in the coming political campaign will be as dramatic as Yhat. sugene V. Debs has for many years been the standard-bearer of the socialist party. He and most of his supporters rep- resent that type of mind by nature and temperament “agin the govern- ment.” Every known force is attended by opposition, The universe itself is in a state of balance, Cantrifugal and centripetal forces hold the planets in orbit. There is powitive and negative electricity. In the congress of @ thousand years from now, even as in the witenagemot of a thousand years ago, there will be what cor- responds to Lodge and La Follett, Some minds are a perpetual mi- nority report. Debs is one of them. We need him and his kind. We need the scoffers, railers, objectors, cursers and trouble makers. Thersites also had his uses. David refused to uppress Shimel. Ingersoll did the Christian church a deal of good. The Irish are very helpful to the British Empire—they keep things stirred up. | America needs its Hearsta and Hill- quits, The heretic, the protestant, the rebel, the crooked stick, and the bad boy, they also belong. The old plan, under monarchy, was to crush the objector. Force was the original peacemaker. It was simple easy to understand. ut like most naive ideas It was wrong. For the reason that stability comes not from one force predomi- nating, but from an equilibrium. The dream of czars and Bolsheviks has been to get the state settled, down on to solid ground. But not #o is the plan of destiny. The state, society, all human life, is walking a tight rope. The only safety is bal- ance. To go down on either side is to get @ bad fall. Debs ought never te have been im- prisoned. It was not wicked to im- Prison him; it was worse; it was stupid. According to law he ought to have gone to the penitentiary.
