FRIDAY, MAY 18, 1923 PUTTHiGT^NOZZtE ON THE HOSE? With the approach of Chau tauqua, the young people of this community are reveling in the interesting things handed to them in the Junior Chautau qua feature. And, while the children are overjoyed at the prospect of entering the Junior Chautauqua, those who are re sponsible for this feature of the week's program are emphasiz ing the great good that may grow out of the teachings in culclated in the young, while they are of the impressionable acre. In this connection, the HER ALD is copying in its column below an editorial especially prepared for Chautauqua week by William Byron Forbush, well known author and editor, who writes as follows " The principal value of a talk on morals is that it helps a child to see goodness clearly enough to recognize it Children need to learn how to give things their right names. They need to have some definite ideas to choose from, and help in choosing. The "atmosphere" needs a clarifying flash of words once in a while. A talk may thnpw this light It may give a moral significance to acta of which they have not realised the meaning. It may expose some treacherous fallacies. "Children are not born in posses sion of the Ten Commandments. Feti of them receive any definite ethical teaching at home. . If they are go ing to develop moral lives they must receive some moral "exposures." When a recruit goes forth to war we arm him and instruct him how to fight When a young traveler is about to undertake a journey we warn him of the perils of the way and give him a guidebook to his destina tion. While a pupil is in school we teach him the technique of commer cial arithmetic, stenography and bookkeeping so that he may use them hi business. It would seem to be at least equally sensible to teach him what are the moral perils he will have to meet in business, what are the pit falls he ought to avoid, and those principles of business honor that gov ern the best men. "Children do not object to be talk ed to. They like the direct way of going at things. They want to hear life explained. They are quite wil ling to be told what is right, and why it is right. We are so impressed with the fact that children are emotional that we do not always remember that they are intelligent. After Dr. Ed gar J- Swift had interrogated over a hundred business and professional men as to the lawless acts of their boyhood, he asked them what was the best way of dealing with such infract ions of right and justice. "The great majority of those who expressed an opinion believed that reasoning is most effective." This conclusion seems to have been arrived at, partly because some of them had been em bittered by unreasonable dealing from adults, and partly because it was their ignorance of right reason that had led them astray. A talk that showed convincingly the practi cal value of honesty would be epoch making to many a child who has never had it explained to him. "We notice that Chautauqua this summer is advocating the teaching of this old-faahioned virtue in the schools. * We endorse the endeavor." A farmer of Perquimans County planted a permanent pasture last fall costing about MO. He reports to County Agent L. W. Anderson that he wouldn't take $50 in eash for it mom' si I OFFICE CAT) Tflftftt MARK Every person who has attempted to serve as road builder for Hertford County or for any township in the county has had plenty of free advice given him, of course. Be that as it may, the CAT is going to suggest that Mr. Garrett, the Ahoskie super visor, get his maintenance force busy on the gravel road from Ahoskie to Frarier's Cross Roads. This is the most expensive road in the township, and has been by far the best section of road any place around here. But, unless the gravel is drag ged back to the road bed, and the small holes filled, this road is going to go the way of all others. Mainten ance is absolutely essential to the i economical expenditures of money 1 for roads; and unless the proper at tention is given to the road already built, the money spent for gravel will 1 have been of short life. 1 Nothing has been done in Ahoskie in recent years that has met a more * urgent demand from tke public than 1 the paving of the sidewalk on both 1 sides of the postofBce building. The 1 HERALD has more than once, in re cent years, suggested and urged the paving of this sidewalk. H. S. Basnight, benefactor in this ] instance, will have plentious oppor tunities to perforin further public service when he takes upon himself j the mantle of town councilman. May ( he work as diligent!? and with as ( much wisdom for the town as he has for himself. The CAT believes he | will. If this fellow Frank Meadows and , his bosses?directors, please?want , o get behind something AHOSKIE , needs, let them start all over again on , that hotel proposition. For the love , of Mike, and all the poor traveling , men, let's put up something here in , Ahoskie of which we can feel proud. , Just walk around any group of , traveling men?and they are always , in Ahoskie?and hear what they are , saying about hotels here and there. , These fellows do a powerful lot of , talking, and while they are at work , selling goods for their houses, they , in a measure are "selling" -the towns , they visit. Would Ahoskie like to see , in print the kind of advertising she is , getting? "All that fellow needs is an auto matic machine to take your $2.76", said one salesman here Wednesday morning. He was not talking about a hotel in Ahoskie, but of an adjoin ing town. An automatic machine to take the money was all this hotel man needed to make his house a self-run ning, self-accommodating (?)? hotel. Although it was not Ahoskie in this instance, it brought from another fellow traveler the statement that he had not spent any time in Ahoskie for several years on account of lack of acommodations. Fireworks are pretty?but they don't last long. Don't be a "Are works" advertiser. Think twice before speaking and then look arnnnd wIia'? ????? ent "Ibm't Got Timo" Of all the excuses there are By which this old world is accursed, This "haven't got time" is by far The poorest, the feeblest, the worst, A delusion it is, and it* snare; If the habit is yours, you should shake it. For if you want to do what is offered to you, You'll find time to do it, or make it. It is estimated that there are now enough chances for easy money to keep our jails occupied until 1967. "I'm beginning to miss my hus band", said Mrs. Murphy as the roll ing pin grased her husband's head and hit the wall. Jim Sessoms says what a man is de manding these days is a "fliwing wage."
