The Maine general election yields a Democratic governor and two of three Congressmen, signaling a national trend toward Democrats and support for repeal. The outcome shocks Republicans and fuels optimism that Roosevelt and Garner will carry Western states, foreshadowing a broad Democratic victory in November.
The piece predicts strong political talk over six weeks, many surprises at the election, and new faces in Congress and state offices. It notes increased debate and potential gains for third parties like Norman Thomas, amid broad political unrest and possible Democratic gains.
Students return to classrooms as the new term starts with many children attending for the first time this year. The piece notes that some will learn a lot while others may not, but stresses that schooling builds independent lives.
The author argues that a child's true education comes from school life not books. School socializes pupils teaching restraint and rights, and encourages them to stand up for themselves. It stresses peer interaction over family size and emphasizes self-reliance and civility beyond formal learning.
