Fataion Advsfiuinc Pun I THE AMERICAN PRESS ASSOCIATION FRIDAY, NOV. 17, 1922 THE RED CROSS ROLL CALL The annual membership cam paign for the American Red Cross, announced for this month, is one drive against which the American people-do not register any protest. Dur ing the World War and for a year after the signing of the Armistice, the country was sipothered under a steady stream of "drives", every or ganization having any pretense at public favor seeking to raise funds by popular subscription. The thing was overworked, and a popular reaction result ed. Lately "drives' are just about as nauseating as they were popular in the war days, but the Red Cross Roll Call nev er loses its appeal, for Ameri can folks know that it is worthy of their support, both in peace and in war. Hertford County should 1s sume its full responsibility in the campaign and come across with its quota. TOWftER-STERLING BILL For four years Congress has toyed with the Towner-Sterling BilL providing for a Depart ment of Education, with a Sec retary in the President's Cabi net. It has been alternately talked to death and shelved. Partisanship, the one thing our Congress knows how to play, has helped to keep the bill from becoming law; each major party has been too busy trying to please its constituency to concentrate on legislation that will be of equal benefit to Ml. With the election a thing of the past and an extraordinary session of Congress promised to take care of special matters, ed ucational associations and or ganizations all over the country are preparing for a strong rep resentation to the next Con gress looking for the passage of the bill. The need of such a depart ment is pressing, and the bill has many features that, when made law, will accelerate pub lic education in every section of the United States. Henry J. Ryan, National Director in the American Legion, sums up the need in a pungent paragraph, he says: "The school itself is the foundation of the Nation. If the American school fails, America will fail. Education is the mother of civilization. The old world failed because it lacked a proper system of edu cation, and America will fail if it does not direct its attention to its schools and determine that a policy of stint in education is false economy." The House Committee on Ed ucation, which has recommend ed the passage of the bill, has said of it: "There is nothing of more importance in our scheme of Government than the education of the people If education should be given the recognition which its importance requires, if illiteracy is a national peril, if ignorance of our language L'V'V Esfc SEEN AND HEARD ! THIS WEEK I BY THE OFFICE CAT ? mi i ii 'i ii B. N. Sykei of Harrellsville ia not only ? road commissioner who hoes Ms own row without interference from outsiders, but he is a fanner who knows his business. His display of products raised on the Riverside Farm eclipses anything in farm exhibits seen at any county fair this year. He's got everything there, including the soil upon which his products grew, and the wood with which hie forest is populated. The powers that be were with the Hertford County Fair Association on the first two days of the fifth annual fair. Better weather Renditions could pot have been provided, if it had been made to order. The first day's crowd was disappointing, although large numbers were there Wednesday. The uhools of the county turned out, and the young folks brought their daddies along with them. "Why don't you move the fair to Ahoskie?" has been a much mooted question here lately. The Cat con fesses it sees no earthly reason why it should not be. There's no place like Winton, and its good people; but Ahoskie has a reputation of drawing crowds; and that's what it takes to make the association keep going Bertie County?at least, a large proportion of it?is almost entirely cut off from participating in any ag ricultural fair. Big Bertie should come in with hustling Hertford, and together t?te two could inake the fair a whizzing success. Ahoskie is the pivotal location for the grounds. Conducting a successful newspaper on the "love of the profession" is just about aa practicable as ranging any other business along similar lines. Back in the old days when a news paper editor had to be a jack of all trades in order to make enough money to finance his printing plant that kind of stuff might have gone. But, it's a different proposition today. The people demand a real newspaper; competition is too strong for the weakling to get without producing "the stuff." And, if the newspaper 14 going to be the genuine article, it must be conducted *on modern busi ness principles. "Along with the improved business conditions made in all lines of business, there has come a change in country newspaper offices too. Most papers that afe worthy of the name are now being ran along suc cessful business lines that are in keep ing with sound business methods." That is what the editor of the Mount Airy News thinks about the business; and he is eternally right. Another characteristic about the country newspaper editor of a few years ago was the multiplicity of jobs he held. He did not have any idea editing a country weekly could keep a person busy, and he never troubled himslef to dig up the news from sources new to him. He was content to stay in the rat, and put anything in his newspaper. Today, tell an editor of a live country newspaper that he has a cinch and see how quickly he calls your hand. You can't run a live weekly, and hold down one or twe other jobs, too. Brother, it can't be done. It has been tried in this office, say the bosses. The fellow who handles the sub scription list ot this newspaper says there are more paid in advance sub scribers on that sheet than ever in the paper's historjr. And, they are still coming in every day. "Why not change our system of town government"? is another query pretty freely handled here lately. Practically all are agreed that the town cannot expect "something for nothing" from' the administrative officers. And, it is a city " manager most of the querrulous want, or, at least, they believe that would be the better plan. Honestly, the Cat believes the town of Ahoskie is suffering from a lack of proper attention. The fact is, he knows jt Is, has been, and probably will continue to be, unless something is done somewhere. .. ?> institutions is a source of dang er .... if there should be provid ed for every boy and girl in America a competent, well qualified teacber in order that there may be developed throughout pur Nation an in telligent and enlightened citi zenship, then it can be fairly said that this legislation is jus tified."
