Dr. Smith Speaks In an address to the teachers Sat-day, Dr. Wiley Smith, Appalachn College psychologist, told his idience that "a teacher of an averse class of 40 pupils may expect in j ter life that 17 to 26 of them will | iffer from conditions ranging from thappincss and a sense of futility criminal behavior and insanity." Emphasizing the fact that an exssively nervous teacher may have most harmful effect on the pupil, r. Smith said that it was highly tportant that the teacher maintain ie best of health, both mental and lysical. In conclusion, the sneaker said iat "no profession affords a more :finite and challenging objective ian does teaching. A definite pursse in life is necessary if we are i liberate our latent energies and :complish what we are capable of complishing." Resolution At a recent meeting of the Wattga N. C. E.

GOOD FENCE SHOULD LAST FARMER 7 TO 12 YEARS Good wire, properly strung between strong, well-braced posts should make a farm fence last from 7 to 12 years, says H. M. Ellis, extension agricultural engineer of N. C. State College. There should be a good coaling of galvanizing or zinc on the wire to protect it against the elements, he says. "Some copper in the wire will add still more years of service to the fence," Ellis stated. "The "conner content should not run less than 2.10 of 1 per cent, which is usually spoken of as '20 point' copper. The quality of the wire is the main consideration in building fences, and it isn't good economy to buy cheap wire." F.llis also says that for a good, long-lasting fence the quality of the posts and the workmanship in erecting the fence must be of the best. The posts must be big enough, properly spaced, well planted and well braced. If durable wood is not available, soft timber may be treated with creosote or otherwise to make the posts last as long as the wire. "It is wise." the specialist declared. "to build your fence on paper before- you start cutting posts and buying wire. North Carolina farm| ers spend thousands of dollars every year maintaining fences that are not essential; fences that are of the wrong type to keep animals in or out; and fences that are not worth maintaining because of poor material or poor workmanship." In conclusion, Ellis says, "Fencing is an important item of farm man agement. it protects property and reduces losses ot both crops and livestock. A good fence is also an asset in giving a neat appearance and indicating that the farm owner is progressive."
