LOOK OUT FOR SURPRISES
The Presidential campaign i3 now
is full swing and' the voice of the
spellbinder is heard in the land. ?
Wherever two or three are gath-l
ered together politico will be the j
main theme of discussion for the next j
six weeks. All the signs indicate |
that more words will be split on be
half of the rival candidates this year
than ever before.
All signs point also, to the belief I
that th?re are going; to be a lot '
surprises at the comi3g election. It (
is our opinion that the general run !
of people are giving much more ser ;
ious thought to politics in all it?
phases thas ever before. That i?
quite natural, considering the serious
ness of the conditions through which
the nation has been passing.
We have an idea that 1032 is going
to turn out to have been a pretty bad
year for a lot of the olx& (fashioned
four feet in the trough kind poli
ticiana in both parties. Regardless o<"
how the Presidential election may go
we have a notion that there are goin.j?
to be moi\? new faces in both House,
of the next Congress than have been
seen there at once in many years.
We have a notion, too, that there will
be a lot of new blood in state and
county offices, all over the country.
We see no reason to expect thai
any of the smaller parties will pol1
enough votes in any state to affect
the general results of the election a'
between the two major parties, bu
we have a stsong suspicion that there
will be more votes, cast for Norman
Thomas, the Socialist candidate, and
for other candidates of^the minority
parties, than have ever been polled
at any proceeding Presidential elect
ion. The people are in a state of
political unrest, and nothing that
might happen on NevenVber wouh'
surprise us.
SCHOOL DAYS
Another school year has be&us.
More children than ever went to
school at one time before, will spend
the next eight or nine months laying
the foundations for their independent
and individual lives. Some of them
will learn a good deal. Some of
them will not learn very much. The
one thinig that most ch^dren learn in
scKbol, and the mosit important thing
that any of theon learn is, after all.
not what is in the books but how to
live.
It has always seemed to us that the
real life of the child is his or her
school life. During these formative
years the child's principal interest
centers about school. It is the one
place where he can minglo on equal
term? with all of those around him.
For several hours a day he works and
plays in the oompany of those of his
own age. He learns, through the
necessnry discipline of the school
room, to restrain such natural im
pulses as tend to disorder, but he
learns from the contacts with other
boys not only the wisdom of non
interference with the rights of other*
but the importance of standing up
for his own rights. In other words,
the most valuable function of the
school i 8 to socialize its pupils, to
help them to learn how to live in
the crowd.
In the old days of big families the
children learned those things from
their own brothers and sistem Fanr
ilies of eight or ten or more young
sters; are not so common in these
days, and the discipline of the crowd
is. best enforced and learned in the
school atmosphere. And it is be
coming more and more essential that
our young folks should go out into
the World with a beftitor understanding
of their place in it..
We think the best schools are .the j
ones in which the pupils' are required
to do most for therr*?elves and have
the least done for them by their
teacher* and others. All that any
system of education ? can do for any
child is to stimulate him to use his
own rmtive intelligence. But outside
of the curriculum, Weyot^ and above
the formal routine of the acquisition
of knowledge, far more important (
la socializing and civilizing in- 1
fluence of constant association with
other young ones of his own age. |

j ted element in the community. Wha)
a crowd.
Nowhere is there such a startling
j example of executive success as th*
' way in which that organization was
i brought together. Take the ta>
collector, Matthew, as the most atrik
ing instance. His occupation carriec
a heavy weight of social ostracism
but it was profitable. He was pro
bab'.y well to do according to th*
simple standards of the neighborhood
certaisly he was a busy man and not
subject to impulsive action. His ad
dition to the group of disciples is tolc
is a single sestence:
"And as Jesus passed by, he called
Matthew."
Amazing. No argument; plm|'

saw in him a man of unu~ual genero

So with Matthew ? the crowd saw
only a des.pised tax-gatherer. Je~ur
saw the potential writer of a book
