H-M DECEMBER 30, 1938 NEW YEAR It pleases the fancy of humans to think the first of each January is the beginning of a new page whereon one may write as he or she chooses without reference to that which has gone before; that one may by a force of will start the new calendar with a new and perfect set of morals. Perhaps it would be better if it were possi ble, but even that is not capable of proof. Time roily remorselessly on and it hesitates no more at the stroke of twelve on New Year’s Eve than at the stroke of noon or midnight or 3:14 on the sixth of May. One time is as good as another to foTm a resolution to show a kind ly face to friend and foe. Yet the New year "hat been chosen b y man as a time to solemnly resolve to correct his social and moral ills Because of the customary ex cesses of the night before many resolve to never touch another drop, to forswear the weed, to sleep more abundantly. It may be that all of .us know our faults and could correct them, if we would but admit them to ourselves. And it is all a little funny and a bit pretentious and is regarded as a joke by moat of us, but oft times taken in all seriousness by those who are trying to reform. APPOINTMENTS The appointment of Walter Pearson. Democrat and former state senator to fill out the term of Rufus Holman as state treasur er is a good one. Mr. Pearson was an outstanding senator, cautious and considerate, and should be as good a choice for treasurer as could be found in either patty. He should be able to handle the large funds put in his charge with credit to himself and the state. It is to be hoped that Pearson will keep the excellent force in the treasurer’s office that has made that department outstanding for a number o f years. Several men there have held their positions for years and pre fully inform«! about the work. Wallace (Buck) Wharton was named to fill the place of John Carkin on the tax commission. No reason other than the governor’s loyalty to him appears probable at this time. .Wharton is loyal to his job and to his superiors; he is likable. But why he was adjuged capable of becoming a tax com missioner is not known. While it was a subordinate who was direct ly responsible for the errors in the last budget Wharton as budget director was given the blame which occured in his department. He has not demonstrated that he is able in arithmetic to say noth ing of having a knowledge of tax ation. PHY8ICAL TRAINING The school law of Oregon states that after the first of September 1919 “all male and female pupils in all elementary and secondary schools shall receive as part of the preserved courses of instruction therein such physical training as determined by the state superin tendent of ptdriic instruction” etc. The next section of the law states: ‘"Dris course of instruction shall eonsist of such activities as will promote correct physical pos ture and bearing, mental and phy sical alertness, self control, dis ciplined initiative, sense of patriotic iuty and spirit of cooperation un der leadership.” Peihaps the requirements of the second section appear so diffi cult that no serious effort to bring the desired result to pass has been made. In any event there are few schools with a course of in struction consisting of such activ ities as will promote correct phy sical posture and bearing. The athletic games now indulged in as an excuse for an adequate course o f physical education are not particularly noted as correc tive o f posture although they might spirit of cooperation in the com Statehouse Gossip parative few who are chosen to Í Continued from pnze one» take part in them.
