DOUGHERTY'S PLAN (Hickory Daily Record) North Carolina school teachers who are working toward their Master of Arts Degrees, will hav? 1 credit on their teaching licenses when they have completed at least a third of their work, if Dr. 1 B. B. Dougherty, president of | Appalachian State Teachers Col- , lege, Boone, has his way. In a statement to The Record, while in Hickory on a business mission last week, Dr. Dougherty explained his proposal. The purpose of his plan is to give men and women added incentive to enter the teaching profession and continue in that line of work. Dr. Dqugherty points out that a Master Certificate entitles a teacher to thirty dollars per month more salary. His idea Is that more teachers would be en couraged to ? go on with their college training, working to ward' & faster Degree, if they knew that certain rewards were assured even before they reach ed their final objective. Thus, Jie would have institutions of high er learning issue certicates to griMv*" students who are seek ing the degree of Master of Arts Iq the field of education, when VKigfc on such, degree is one third completed. Similarly, certi ficates would be issued when the work ? k tiyo-thirds completed; and the M. A. Degree would be conferred when the work is . fully completed. Under this plan, a teacher who had completed one-third of the work require*:': for a Master's De gree would receive a boost of ten dollars per month in salary. An additional ten dollars per month would be added when the work two- thirds completed; and "full Master Certificate pay would become effective When the M. A. Degree had been awarded. The Record believes the pro posal of Dr. Dougherty has real merit. It is obvious that such an arrangement would encourage teachers to go ahead with gradu ate training in their chosen field of work. It is furthermore clear, th*t such trsining should make the teacher more efficient as each unit of the prescribed course of study is completed. Consequent ly, everybody concerned would gain by the arrangement. KING STREET 'Continued from page 1) Wyke, whoM incapaciiiea fall to alter hi* cbMtful dia position and bright outlook oa 111* . . .

DALE CARNEGIE A story of how one woman reacted, in an' hour of trial, comes from Mrs. Leo Herndon, Abilene, Tex. She and her husband ? almost unaccountably, it seemed ? lost their little boy. Her sorrow was so ~gfeat that she could not eat, life lost its value. A doctor t?ld her that she might become a neurotic if she continued to give way to her grief. But how could she put aside so great a loss? One day, in her depressed nervous state, she began think ing about two friends who also had lost children. One of these women became morose, bitter, said that all her life she had been unlucky. The other woman had lost five of her six children, yet she was not as unhappy as the former woman. Mrs. Herndon analyzed these two women, and she found that the second mother was con tinuously doing something for someone else; she was not think ing about herself all the time, as the first woman was doing. Then Mrs. Herndon counted up the things in her own life that she had to be thankful for, the things which brought cheer and joy into her life. Here is what she discovered as her bles sings: 1? She had a devoted husband who was, doing all he could to assuage her sorrow. Then she realized that if she did not cease her deep sorrow she would make him unhappy, and this he did not deserve. 2 ? She was thankful she had her child even for a short while. "That is n.ore than some women have in their lives," she told her self. 3 ? Both she and her husband had good health. And she was making an effort to destroy hers which certainly would react or her husband. Then she began interestinj herself in others, doing some thing to make them happy. Six months passed and her sorrow began a wane. Her great loss is still there, but she is getting i great deal out of life. Other sorrowing mothers car benefit by Mrs. Herndon'i example. Had she gone on as she started, she would not have benefitted in any way, and would have harmed not only heraelf but all those with whom she came in contact.

GOOD MEMORY Seattle, Wash. ? A detective's photographic memory led to the arrest of a man who, acccording to police, had been a fugitive from the Indiana State. Peniten tiary since 1944.

Harper School, under the auspices of the Lenoir Audubon Club. The program will include whistled imitations of bird calls to Mr. Harwell's own piano ac companiment, augmented by an all-color motion picture, "Out door Symphony," the material lor which he gathered in his travels across the United States. Mr. Harwell has broadcast from coast to coast, his NBC program having been known as "Bert Harwell, Bird Man," and has lectured in almost every state of the union. Donald Culross Peattie, natura list and writer, says in an article in a national magazine, "You will be lucky if you live in one of those towns that has schedul ed a Bert Harwell lecture. If you are wise, you'll go far, just to be out there in front when Bert steps up to the piano, cocks his head, cocks his eye like a bird, and, pursing his lips, lets out of the cage of his memory all the songs stored there from his years afield." The Lenoir Club hopes that members of the Boone Bird Club, and anyone else interested in nature and the outdoors, will attend this event. E. Harper School is on Rt. 18, the highway to Wilkesboro, not far inside the city limits. There will be no ad mission charge.
