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
