TO KNOW HIM, AND TO TRUST IN HIM—THAT IS GRANTED US NOT FOR THE HOURS OF DEATH OR AGONY ALONE, BUT FOR ALL LIFE. ALMOST FROM THE VERY CRADLE, QUITE TO THE VERY GRAVE—CANON PARRAR. POWERS OF STATES ARE IMPORTANT Powers and sovereignties of states within the Union, co-ordinating with powers and sovereignties of the Nation, constitute one of the gravest and most delicate problems with which the constituent convention which framed the United States Constitution, had to deal. The work of the fathers stands out as masterly in balancing the powers and sovereignties, and in evolving a system whereby state and national sovereignties may dovetail, be co-ordinate, co-operative and consistent. President Coolidge, in dedicating the petrified stone, which is Arizona's contribution to the Washington Monument, stressed the importance of maintaining the sovereignty of states over affairs which directly concern them, maintaining the principle of local self-government. But, in this, the President urges "a policy of local reflection of nation-wide public opinion; each state must shape its course to conform to the generally accepted sanctions of society and to the needs of the Nation; the true course to be followed is the maintenance of the integrity of each state by local laws and social customs, which will place it in comparative harmony with all the others. This harmonizing of state and national standards and courses of action has been brought to a degree of perfection really phenomenal. Co-ordination is not complete. There is yet need of bringing about greater uniformity as to certain laws—as, for example, divorce laws in the several states. These things, however, may be worked out, in orderly progression toward perfected balancing of powers and uniformity of functioning among the several states. Globe trotting by airship will be the custom within a few years. Recall the wonderful strides in automotive transportation within an almost incredibly brief period. Development of communication no doubt will be equally wonderful. This harmonizing of state and national standards courses of action has been brought to a degree of perfection really phenomenal.

President Coolidge, therefore, could have made no more fitting appeal in addressing the continental congress of this worthy organization, than to urge women throughout America to exercise fully their franchise rights. This urge is made with especial reference to the national elections this year. This is a "troubled period" for the American system of government, Mr. Coolidge warns, and the electorate of the country should be on the alert for "the preservation, the guardianship and the gradual perfections" of this precious legacy from the fathers of the Republic. The government of the United States is no stronger and no better than the people make it. This thought cannot too often be impressed upon voters. Government is not something extraneous to them and apart from them. It is of and by the people—bone of their bone and sinew of their sinew. They make it or mar it, as they use or fail to use their citizenly powers and prerogatives as they should.

"Well—er—yes," the man replied, "I am—that is. I would like to get a book suitable for a man—er—about to get married." "Yes, sir," the clerk answered, "Here's Mr. Buford, show this gentleman some of our large size pocketbooks!" A shell-shocked soldier in Germany was released from a sanitarium—cured. He was driven to the railway station in a taxi, and the chauffeur said: "It costs you 200,000,000 marks for this ride." The soldier thought, "Is the man crazy, or am I crazy, or am I crazy again?" He gave the chauffeur a 20-mark coin, whereupon the chauffeur said: "On this you will get 3,000,000 marks change." The soldier said: "Just keep the change and drive me back to the sanitarium."

The unwearied sun from day to day Does his Creator's power display, And publishes to every land The work of an almighty hand. Soon in the evening shades prevail. The noon takes up the wondrous tale, And mightily to the listening earth Repeats the story of her birth; Whilst all the stars that round her burn, And all the planets in their turn, Confirm the tidings as they roll, And spread the truth from pole to pole. What though In solemn silence all Move round the dark celestial ball? What though no real voice nor sound Amid their radiant orbs be found? In reason's ear they all rejoice And utter forth a glorious voice, Forever singing as they shine, "The hand that made us is divine." —Joseph Addison.

Once she had been young like that, though never so fair. "Who was the pretty girl?" the Tired Business Woman asked William. "Who? Where?" He came slowly from his far visions. "I don't know Miss.

Comments of the Press What Editors Are Saying SCHOOL EXAMINATIONS OPPOSED—Oakland Tribune Pleasant news for the small boy is being carried in the educational journals of the country. The average school child, it is assumed, dreads the written examination as he does a high collar or castor oil. If the discussions in their periodicals are to be taken as evidence of teachers, after years of experiment, are going over to the side of the boy against examinations. Before a department of the National Education Association a University of Chicago professor the other day described examinations as "unsound, unscientific, and generally meaningless." Other teachers write that they go through the motions of the examination because they are set down as a part of the work which must be done, but base their marks for the year's work upon the observation and the average of the daily recitations. Perhaps the examination is not so much at fault as is the abuse of the opportunity. A test which reflects fairly the work of a preceding month or week cannot be unsound or meaningless. The one which presents trick questions and seeks to lay a trap for the unsuspecting scholar, may be both of these things, and, in additition, unfair and unscientific. Such an examination may be designed to gauge the mental acuteness of the individual, but when it is used to rate him in a course through which he has moved slowly it becomes absurd. President Lowell of Harvard in a recent annual report indicates that these are elements both of weakness and strength in the examination method. "The purpose of discovering the extent and accuracy of the knowledge possessed by the person examined is justifiied only when it seeks a measure of knowledge which the person ought to possess. Whenever the same ground is covered by the entire class the examination can be made fair and searching. The varying stress laid on different parts makes questions prepared by a stranger an unfair test of the proficiency of the pupil." It is too early to predict the banishment of examinations, but not too early to foresee some changes which will give a fairer chance to those being examined. TAIELY VIEWS WORLD TONGS "WRONG CONCEPTION OF MARRIAGE RELATION BASIS OF DIVORCE LAWS." "The conception of marriage as a relation essentially secular lies at the basis of modern divorce legislation, which recognizes the right of the individual and the right of the State to an interest in the dissolution of the marriage tie," so says Dr. Charles F. Thuring, famous educator. "It does not in the least recognize any "WRONG CONCEPTION OF MARRIAGE RELATION BASIS OF DIVORCE LAWS." "The conception of marriage as a relation essentially secular lies at the basis of modern divorce legislation, which recognizes the right of the individual and the right of the State to an interest in the dissolution of the marriage tie," so says Dr. Charles P. Thwing, famous educator. "It does not in the least recognize any peculiarly sacred character in the institution. The growth of ethicistic and socialistic principles in society has weakened in the popular mind the conception of marriage as a Divine ordinance, and therefor as a tie of permanently binding force. To those who eliminate God from the world it becomes an easy task to rob marriage of its sacred character. The institution of marriage rests upon a triangular base. It is founded upon the interest of the individual upon the interest of the State and upon Divine ordinance. To weaken this foundation upon any side causes the structure to totter."
