Grading a Student'
NUMBER of persons have told
me they agree with the article I
had in this column last week concerning a student's grades. As one
lady, a teacher of mature years and
widely known for her common sense,
expressed it: "To refuse to give a
pupil 100 per cent, after he has earned
it is to stifle his ambition, make him
careless and cause him to regard hi1"*
teachers with suspicion. To say, as
did the college president, quoted in
The Sun, thai a student can not be
100 pei* cent, correct is a viewpoint
many of the best teachers will not
accept."
I think she has explained the subject of 100 per cent, to the satisfaction of the majority of intelligent
people.

aseination about an old book
store he can not resist. Many of
his happiest hours have been spent
browsing between the covers of volumes whose authors are unknown to
the present generation of readers of
books.
In Cincinnati last summer this
writer bought several old books lie
would not exchange today for the
average so-called private library.
Naturally the volumes purchased in
Cincinnati were printed in England
several hundred years ago or long before the art of printing was introduced
into America. Two of the books were
translated from the German, and as
this writer looks at them today he
wonders, as he reads the common
sense in them, what has happened to
the German people that they bow
their heads to a fanatic like Hitler;
people capable of writing the most
beautiful thoughts in  any language?

IN a happy and inspired moment a
bygone writer penned a phrase
or sentence which possessed the
indefinable quality of momorableness,

Drawings for the annual Stark
county class B basketball tournament
were made in Navarre on Saturday
during the teachers' institute.
The tournament will be held again
this year in the Canton city auditorium ami will start at twelve noon
on next Friday, February 21. Canton township and Uniontown will lift
oir the lid when they meet as game
number   one.
North Canton high school will get
into action at 4:00 o'clock the same
afternoon when they meet the strong
Jackson township outfit. Both teams
have been in and outers during the
season and the battle should be one
of the closest in  the first round.
The Jackson township team will
have the advantage of size and height
but North Canton should have the
advantage in speed and fast passing.
This will be one of the games that
must be played to determine the
winner.
The winner of this match will meet
the winner of the Waynesburg-Green-
town game at 1 o'clock on Saturday
afternoon. The loser will meet the
loser of the Middlebranch-East Sparta
fray.
Other first round games include:
Hartville-East Canton at 2:00 on Friday; Marlboro-Beach City at 1:00;
Navarre-Brewster at 3:00; Middlebranch-East Sparta at 5:00; Waynes-
burg-Greentown  at  0:00.
There will be no games on Friday
night but the tournament will be resumed on Saturday afternoon and
evening.

THE SUN takes pleasure this week
in presenting lo the men and

of Canton, candidate for attorney-

and he lias fought rackets and
racketeers   for  years.
As district attorney of Stark
county he made a record the entire
nation applauded. All men. all women,
look alike to C. B. McClintock. And
crooks of high and low degree fear
liiiii  and curse  his  name.
Ohio will need a man t.f McClinteok's
ability and pluck in the attorney-

people  are  wise  they  will   place   him
there.

A one-day school for vegetable
grower's has been arranged by Ormann
R. Keyser, for Wednesday, Feb. 26,
at 9:30, in the Hartville high school.
The program of discussion is as
follows: "Soil Fertility and Fertilizer
Placement", J. H. Boyd; "New Insecticides and their Uses," T. H. Parks.
At 1:00 p.m. the program will be:
"Produce Auctions—A New Marketing Idea for Ohio Farmers," J. H.
Boyd; "Specific Vegetable Crop Insects and Their Control," T. H. Parks.
Anyone interested is invited to
attend.
Bode, does not belong to our modern
world at all, yet to him is due the
simile, "Like oil on the troubled
waters," which most people believe to
be out of the Bible. To the Scriptures,
too, they ascribe a second familiar
aphorism, "Cleanliness is next to
godliness," which was really in a sermon of John Wesley's and which leads
naturally to that rather cruel title
bestowed on a section of the community by Chancellor Lord Brougham,
who first talked of "the great Unwashed."

HE    following    are    short    verses
which     everybody    knows;     the
second, by the way, being usually
misquoted:

Grasp it like a man of mettle
And   it  soft   as   silk   remains.

wrote them.
A successful playright in his age
was Charles Macklin, and from his
two finest plays have descended two
ever-green sayings: "You are as welcome as tiie flowers in May," from
"Love a la Mode," and "She looks a.s
if butter would not melt in her
mouth," from "The Man of the
World."
To a forgotten and not very good
play, "Falstaff's Wedding," by William Kendrick, we owe that picturesque description of prison, "durance

took the lead and at times looked ;is
if they might turn in a winner but
•failure to hit the basket within easy
range and poor headwork in tlie passing game proved too much handicap.
The North Canton varsity stepped
out to an 8-3 lead by the end of the
first period but Uniontown staged a
comeback in the second period to come
within one point of tieing. A spurt
near the end of the quarter gave
North Canton a five point lead at
halftime, 14 to 9. With a fast passing
attack in the third period North Canton hit the loop from all sides and
completely smothered their opponents
before the quarter ended 32 to Hi.
Frequent substitutions seemed to
hamper the style of North Canton and
they failed to connect for a single
point in the final period while Union-
town added nine points.

Clarence W. Portmann, Massillon
attorney, took out a petition yesterday for Common Pleas Judge of
Stark county.
A graduate of the Western Reserve
University School of Law, and an
active member of the Stark County
Bar association, Mr. Portmann in 192H
was appointed Judge of the Massillon
municipal coprt by Senator A. V.
Donahey, then Governor of Ohio, to
fill an unexpired term, 'i lie following
year lie was elected to a full term
by the largest majority ever accorded
a judicial  candidate  in   Massillon.
When Common Pleas Judge Charles
Krichbaum, a candidate for re-election
in 1!):50, died 17 days before election,
the Stark County Democratic committee selected Mr. Portmann to succeed him as the party's candidate.
Despite his belated entry into the
campaign, Mr. Portmann was only defeated by 733 votes. His opponent was
Common Pleas Judge Joseph Floyd,
who will be a candidate for re-election
this year. It is believed that both
Mr. Portmann and Judge Floyd will
be  nominated   without  opposition.
Voluntarily retiring from the Massillon bench at the expiration of his
term in 1031, Mr. Portmann returned
to the private practice of law and
gave considerable of his time to civic
and veteran activities.
He organized the Massillon Safety
council, of which ho is chairman, and
actively associated himself with the
Stark County Safety council of which
ho is a director. He served two years
as president of the Drum and Bugle
corps; of Massillon Post No. 221,
American Legion, and in 11)31 was
Commander of the Massillon Post. He
is also active in county and state
Legion affairs. He is chairman of the
SUN puts the political bigot
tho same class with the
religious bigot. The primary
business cf the Church is to make
good citizens. As someone reminds
us, Christianity was started not so
much to get men into heaven as to
get heaven into mon. "Heaven in men"
would insure the right kind of Christian citizenship. And it isn't necessary
to belong to any one religion or
creed—call it what you will—to enjoy
a monopoly on goodness.
It is the same with voting. As The
iisiiiTocK
SI. Clairsville (O.)  Chronicle Sees
Him  a Champion  of the
People.
In
Sun has repeatedly pointed out in
this column, the frequent triviality
and blindness of motive behind
political action is often amazing. Attitudes on great issues are too often
determined by party and personal
animosities, or by preference for tin;
lino of least resistance, or by some
narrow visionless so-called patriotic*
catchword. As someone has said: Our
course is directed by "combinations of
secondary anil utterly inadequate
motives."
Great opportunities for righting
wrongs, for introducing; a new spirit]
into human relationships are repeatedly missed, through lack of vision. I
The whole world, it has been said wilh |
reason, is full nf tho wreckage due i
to misdirected "practical activity."       '
If you doubt the above statement,
take a glance at a number of nien
seeking public office in Ohio. Many
of them are mere opportunists, or
emotionalists, without real knowledge
of public affairs. They are a greater
danger to the taxpayers than a blind
man at a ship's helm crossing the
Atlantic. Yet people vote for them and
seemingly have faith in them—the
blind misting the blind.
Too easily people surrender to passion and emotion and act blindly and
unthinkingly without any idea ol
ultimate direction or larger issues. So
many of those otherwise qualified to
vote are absolutely incapable of thinking an issue through or divesting
themselves of prejudice.

The second of four monthly dinners

meal, our Auxiliary is second to none.
We were favored with an after-
dinner talk by our friend Ben Long,
who was a war correspondent with
the U. S. fleet during the Spanish-
American war in 1898.
Some of the incidents narrated by
Mr. Long are not found in history
books, but would make interesting
reading if they were published. We
are gr*ateful to Mr. Long for his cooperation.
We also had the pleasure of having

PULPIT AND PEI
One of the most colorful of Ohio's
youngest lawyers announced his candidacy last week for attorney-general
of the state.
C. B. McClintock, prominent Canton
attorney, will enter the Republican
primaries with a record seldom surpassed by lawyers under fifty. Mr.
McClintock was born forty-eight years
ago in  Wayne county.
As prosecuting attorney of Stark
county, he disposed of 700 cases, of
which only four were acquittals by
jury. Among the cases successfully
handled by Prosecutor McClintock
while in office were two famous newspaper  headline  stories.
One was the murder of Don P..
Mellett, editor of the Canton Daily
News, and the other was the kidnapping of another editor, Frank A.
Hoiles—editor of the Alliance Review.
In addition to having served as
prosecuting attorney, McClintock
served two terms in congress—representing the sixteenth district of
Ohio, known as the "Old McKinley
District." He is a graduate of Western Reserve Law School and also
attended Mt. Union and Wooster
colleges.
The candidate is married and lives
at 1023 Fourteenth street N. W.,
Canton. His offices are in the First
National Bank building, in the same
city.—St.  Clairsville   (O.)   Chronicle.

Mr. Ebie suffered severe burns

N. C. PUBLIC LIBRARY
Questions Asked Librarian By Seekers
of Knowledge.
"Do you have a copy of the Constitution   and   the   Amendments?"
"Where can 1 find information concerning the Supreme Court'.'"
"Can you give me a copy of tbe
Constitution of Ohio and when the
Amendments to  it were  adopted?"
These questions are being asked
daily at the North Canton Library
since the Constitution has been made
a political  issue.
Reference work makes up a large
part of the activity at the library.
The librarian's report for the year
1935 shows 2608 questions answered
during the -ear, an average of one
Question each hour the library was
open. When one considers the time
required to find much of this information, it accounts for a great deal of
the time of the librarian.
j Of course it is not possible to
answer all questions. For instance: A
youth hurried to the desk saying,
"Can you find me an antidote?" The
librarian was somewhat alarmed with
visions of the baby having raided the
medicine chest and asked, "An antidote for what?" The reply came,
"Why an antidote for school, of
course." Needless to say the request
: could not be filled but an anecdote
■ was found which proved quite satisfactory.
However, a conscientious effort is
made to supply the information
sought and if it can not be found in
the material on file at the library, a
letter is dispatched to the department
of State or Nation most likely to
supply it. A recent request for knowledge on the planting and raising of
broomcorn brought pamphlets from
Washington. A request for information on the care of furs was answered
by a pamphlet in the "Better Buy-
manship" series on file.
The librarians are glad to have requests brought to them and will try
to secure the needed help in each case.
