A pessimist is a former optimist who lost his money backing his optimism. SPONSOR SCHOOL FOR EMPLOYEES (Continued From Page One) and time, square root, arithmeti cal analysis, formulas, and ratio and proportion, all applied to practical mill situations with em phasis placed upon the develop ment of independent mathemati cal reasoning ability. Following this course, courses will be given in every phase of the woolen in dustry. Regardless of what de partment one works in it will be advisable to take this course as a foundation for the ones that are to follow which will be direct ly related to your type of work. It is very important that everyone bear in mind that it does not mat ter how much or how little edu cation he already has. These classes are open to every employee of Chatham Manufacturing Com pany. One need not feel that he does not have the education to enter because the object of the school is to give opportunities that some did not have in the earlier years of their life. The school is to be under the supervision of Mr. Lee Benson, who has had several years ex perience in this type of work in connection with the Tech high school in Atlanta. The actual teaching of the classes is to be handled by Harold Lewis, who graduated from the N. C. State College Textile School last spring. The present plan is for Lewis to conduct the classes with the aid of the foreman of the various departments who know what should be taught about their particular line. All persons interested meet in the foreman’s room at 2:30 P. M. Monday for the evening shift, and 3:45 P, M. for the morning shift. Anyone who cannot meet ut this time, please see Harold Lew is at your earliest convenience. DOBSON SHOULD MAKE GOOD MAN (Continued Prom Page One) could hav‘2 been no better had it been so planned from the day of his birth. He knows the needs of the farmer as few representatives can, and his connection with th5 business world for the past sev eral years has given him an unusual advantage as a represen tative of all the people. The writer predicts for him, not nec essarily a brilliant career, but a sensible, dependable and earnest effort to give the citizens of Sur ry County the representation they need and should have. Reading of some magazines makes one wonder what kind of stuff the editor rejected.
