A score of our president:; have possessed a greater knowledge, hut few have equalled him in wisdom. Knowledge and wisdom are often confused, and the terms are carelessly employed.

He was philosophical, not emotion, practical, not theoretical. A scrutiny of Washington's acts, both as private citizen and president, reveal the thoughtful man, and also something of his methods. Jlis was the mind to reflect, to deliber ate, to think things through, and having done this lie was ready to act without hesitancy and with much firmness. He was leisurely in his habits, refused to lie hurried, could not be stampeded. There is a certain serenity observable iu all his pictures, a caiinness of countenance that indicates inner strength. Vssibly his early days of life in the open and by himself help to account for his tlioughtl'uhiess and his poise. ; Our generation needs this lesson from the life of Wash ington, namely, the priority of wisdom over mere know ledge. Moreover, bis calm menial processes invite us to riut a premium lliinl(iiig"aiid"h;ibits- fl 'reflection 'in an age when "prcdigesled" ideas are set before us with appe tizing gamishings.

There is no .substitute for safety Just Sentiment " One person in answer to tin: Kveninir Observer's edi torial on saving the. historic l-ipiscopal church of I,a (Irandei remarked thai il was but a matter of sentiment. i So it is, jn.-a sentiment. MiiL what would we be with-! out sentiment? Keinove il from the heart of mankind ' and he is a dull dub. Take sentiment out of life and there is nothing loft but the clanking of dollars, the stern iron existence possessed of mi eh slirity, no feeling, nothing worth while. j Thai is why this newspaper is urging- the preservation of an altar where people worshipped many years ago, where1 weddings were held, where young poeplo met in that best of all atinosphere -the church. Yets, it's sentiment, but H us have more sentiinenl. Save the old church and make or it the shrine of the pioneer. Make of il a place where with bowed heads na n and women of today may go and let their minds diilt hstk lo the days of hardships when a few people were working at the tremendous task of winning the west. i ; Socialized Recitation j Yesterday we enjoyed a half hour with the eighth grade in Central building during which time the pupils engaged in what is leinied "socialized recitation." The subject lor disco, sion was the Tea I'ot Dome affair in congress. Two of the pupils had been selected to give the outstanding ioini of the invest igat ion and tin u the en tire class engaged in a running debate of the merits and demerits of the rase in a way that would cause many an old. lawyer to gasp at the amount of knowledge the young people possessed and their ability to ask leading ipiestions. ;While the debute started in rather a formal manner it -was not lone; before each pupil was in the game in earnest. J low plainly diseei liable the different newspapers rea'd in the homes, lor the information given in the recita tion reflected the newspaper .-...nice ol that information. Finally one young lady clean d the atmosphere by taking the bold stand that the political campaign is on and evi dently the Tea I'ot Dome matter is largely a mailer of politics with one political paily trying to besmirch the other. This brought forth very keen remarks first fioni tho children who have been raised as Kepublicans and then by those whose homes slill cling' to the .lef feisouian principles ot the llcmocialic pally. II was really good. And while il was entertaining, it also established the lin mist.ik.'ible fact I hat in the eighth grade of I.a Claude's scho'ds the pupils are l.iught to read current events closely and to form their own opinions from what they read. II he socialised rocil it ion is an advanced step in edu cation and with its coniiiiuam e the child will be farther advanced in the world's affaiis when he is sent into the high school than many mtii ,:iul wuincu aie at the pieseiit 4 - r J I A H U if V ' Saturday -for Only Saturday, February 23, every pro gressive grocer in i.a ck.vnd;-: will oiler a temptinu assortment nf seven riUJ-lil.U (.mcy cakes tor only ilV a pound.
