such lines as wealth, education and
industry, but the danger which con
fronts us today is the destruction of
that which gives stability to our social
system. The fault may be called social
modernism.' It manifests itself in a
disregard for parental authority and
a lack of respect for .parents. It
means the setting free of the yodnfc
at a timo when they have neither
the sense nor the inclination ta follow
the ways of wisdom. It may be seen
in the modern indulgence in language
and dress which should bring a blush
to the cheeks of ladies and gentlemen.
The old standards of modesty, and one
njight even say virtue, at least appear
to be in danger of passing. There is
a tendency to do the things which are
popular rather than the things which
are right and lower standards are ac
cepted not because they are better,
but because they bear the brand of
being modern. The books that are
read, the shown that a-? mpular, the

WHAT IS HAPPINESS
Rabbi Wise, of New York, said in
a recent sermon that the most dis
satisfied people ar« *ho j e who have
everything they w;» t.
There are many who fix their hearts
on certain ambitions, and say that if
they can get a certain amount of
money, or attain certain power or
social success, then they will begin
to be happy. But there is a curious
irony in experience. When they at
tain those goals, they are likely to be
less happy than before. If people
can’t find happiness while doing their
daily work honestly, enjoying friend
ships and wholesome recreations, it
will always elude th^.m
styles that are followed, all tell the
tale of modernism in social life. It
follows from all of this that what
ever may 6e said of progress along
many other lines, it appears that we
have fallen below the ideals of the

BIG CITY COMPETITION
Young men who are not physically
fit and possessed of special qualifica
tions should keep away from New
York city, according to a statement
made the other day by W. T. Dia<£,
of the Young Men’s Christian Asso
ciation of that city. He says that
competition is so severe in the metro
polis, that unless a fellow has unusual
in
in failure in other respects.
The cause of the faults in, modern
social life may be traced back to the
home, which in the last, analysis means
the parents. The fathers and mothers
do not exercise that guidance and con
trol of tlje young which was charac-s
teristic of former days. Many are too
busy with affairs of less importance
and give little time to their children,
hoping that outside influence such as
the church and the school may fill the
gap made by their own failure in par
ental responsibility. There are others
who know to some degree and value
the better way, but allow their chil
dren to follow the worse because the
way of fashion and popularity lies in
that direction. With others it is a
form of selfishness which causes them
to shirk a duty which is difficult at
any time, but more so when one must
go against the current of modern cus
tom in bringing up The child in the
way that he should go. The young
are thus left without much of the
guidance that they need and often
times without ‘the example that they
need and should not be severely cen
sured.
We need to learn again the truth
that the home is the foundation of
civilization and godliness and that the
greatest work in all the world is the
training 9f the .young in such a man-

insolvent in the other departments of
life.
At the rate we are now going, what
may we expect of the future genera
tions ?
WORKING BACKWARDS
When a man starts out to build a
house he first ascertains the cost in
order to be. sure Jie can meet it. That
is sensible.
Some such foresight and provision
should have been made by our legisla
ture. The muddle in Columbia now,
comes as a result of its going about
its work exactly backwards.
Upon convening the legislature be
gan appropriating money and as the
process continued, the total leaped and
leaped. The money appropriated, with
more than two millions of dollars in
excess of the appropriation levy, the
problem then faced the gentlemen of
where they were going to get the re
venue. They have hunted now for
twelve ^eeks and have »yet to find
the solution. There have been at
tempts made to tax almost every
thing but due to the uncompromising
and intelligent stand taken by twenty-
five members of the senate, all of
these special revenue measures have
been killed, asd wisely so.
The legislature should have decided
upon convening, how much' money
could he raised without further bur
dening the people who foot -the bills.
All it would have needed to do then
would have been to distribute this
money fairly, adjourn and go home.
But they put the cart before the horse
and the result is the mix-up that has
brought about the existing deadlock
at Columbia.
If the legislature of South Carolina
hasn’t the backborje to make a levy
sufficient to cover the money it ap
propriates; if it refuses to adopt a fair
revaluation plan of the state’s pro
perty; if it continues as it has been
going the past few weeks; in the
words of the good old preacher in an
nouncing his text, “We are in a hell
of a fix.”
This is a funny world. W’hen eggs
are high the hens won’t lay, and when
.they drop down, they lay with superb
enthusiasm and persistence.
l En Passant:
♦ . W. W. H. ♦
This is fine weather for everybody
except the coal man.
Blease says the legislature ought to
adjourn and go home, but the gentle
men don’t pay any attention to him.
One good way to help observe
“clean-up week” would be for some
folks we know to get a shave.
Many of the orators think that what
this country needs is more listeners.
Imagination is oftentimes deceptive.
A writer claims that money is go
ing up. Anyway it gets out of hight\
in very short order.
Human intelligence is said to be at
its brightest at the age of 16, but who
would have believed jt.
Ever notice that the boy who is
too tired or lame to dig up the garden
can easily throw the ball from home
plate to second base.
Clothiers gathered in solemn con
clave decide that the “real gentleman”
must have a different necktie for
every shirt, thus “demonstrating his
artistic taste and his exclusiveness.”
Exclusiveness, doubtless^ is desirable.
But if each young American, for each
fancy shirt and necktie that he would
1/ce to have, would develop a real
working idea, the country would be
better off than with every necktie
factory working full blast. A man
known only by his clothes belongs in
the parrott house.

Twenty-one years ago about 250,000
people went once a week to the mov
ing pictures. The price of admission
was actually five cents. Nov»between
seventeen and twenty-two millions go
to see the moving pictures regularly,
and the prices run up to three dollars
a seat. Enterprises grow rapidly in
the United States when people become
reallly interested.
If your friend has a bad cold, be
polite, smile, bow, say “I never saw
you looking better,” but don’t shake
hands.
That is the advice of Dr. Sundwall,
of Michigan University. Ihfluenza is
spread by handshaking. You get the
germs from your friend’s hand, trans
fer them to your handkerchief and
then to your nose...
Handshaking is foolish and archaic,
anyhow, as foolish as Indians rubbing
noses. Primitive man stretched out
his right hand to show there was no
knife in it, and to reassure the strang
er. That’s hardly necessary now.

Wives should be careful what they
say. A Cincinnati man voluntarily
threw himself out of the window from

SOCIAL MODERNISM
_ The controversy among the funda
mentalists and the modernists in the
religious world has attracted wide at

to snch an extent that there is dan

the same division in thought apd acti
vity exists in other departments of
life. The fundamentalist and the
modernist meet us along all the roads
we travel, and the wise course is to nee ^ * or y° un fc graduates to be-

“The shingle headache,” or “bobbed
