HOW A DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE FITS INTO THE LOCAL HIGH SCHOOL The Agricultural courses which are being given in the high schools are not designed or intended to displace any of the other high school work but rather to supplement and broaden it. Its purpose Is to prepare boys for the business of farming, and for a happier, more useful life on the farm. Adult farmers and boys who have stopped school, "to take up farming, may also receive training of value to them through the evening and part time classes. In the old school there was only one course of study, only one avenue through which one must pass to get his diploma. The pupil had no choice, no chance to fit his course to his meeds. -No matter what he was to do in after life he went through ex actly the same mill as his neighbor. Today we see things differently. We are coming to realize that the child is not for the school but the school is for the child. Under the present school system the curriculum is built up so, as nearly as possible, to meet the needs of the pupil. It strives to give him something that will help him to live a more useful life. We no longer try to compel the boy or girl j to pursue a hard and fast course of study and in the end all be the same product. We must be taught how to live. Tb do this best the school curriculum must be suited to the de mands of the community it serves. The agricultural department is only - .another step toward meeting that de mand. Going hand in hand with the other high school course, it should j have an important function wherever i agriculture is carried on. H. A. DAVIS ' Honlee, N. U.

Parker, the Men’s Bible class of the UOidston Baptist church, feel that it has lost a teacher whose place can 'never again be so richly supplied. Ever faithful of attendance he | brought each time to his class timely wisdom mingled with a vision of the high calling. ! * Mr. Parker was not a demonstra tive sort of man except in patient -considerate, solid thought. He never I seemed to speak as one who would be .heard of*men, but rather as one who • would ever be on the road after truth. Like his Great Exemplar he was a man who could and would suf fer for truth’s sake. . Honestly and simplicity marked his every . step here as elsewhere in. the affairs of daily life. For these reasons it is not a matter of surprise that many failed to know him as he was known to a few of us who gathered together only too seldom with him in this class which he loved so much. We extend to his family, and to his friends here and in his native state, Illinois, our sympathy, and the assurance of having been bene fited by his short stay among us. Respectfully submitted by his Sun day school class. THE MEBANE FAIR The. Mebane Six-county Fair begins next Tuesday, September 14.

GOLDSTON NEWS School Has Bright Prospects—Needs Auditorium—A Batch of Per sonal Items The Goldston high school opened last Wednesday, September 1. It has proven to be one of the largest open ings in the school’s history. Two hun dren and five pupils have already been enrolled and a number of others are expected to enter later. Prof. J. H. Moore has entered en thusiastically upon his duty as prin cipal of the Goldston school. Being with us last year, we know he him to be a fine man, working for the good of the school and community. With such a capable man at the head of the school, and his capable assistants we feel that this will be the best school year in the history of the school. The members of the faculty are the following: Prof. J. H. Moore, principal; Miss Ethel Keys, High School; Miss Lou ise Womble, High School; Miss Pearl Johnson, 7th grade; Miss Ola Har mon, sth and 6th grades; Miss Edith Roberts, 4th and sth grades; Miss Dessie Roberts, Ist and 2nd grades, Miss Nannie Cox, music. The new members added to the faculty this year are Miss Ethel Keys, of Georgia, Miss Louise Wom ble, of Goldston, who was one of the graduates at G. C. W. in the spring and Miss Edith Roberts, of Shelby. The remodeling of the school build ing has added much to the appearance of the building inside. The walls have been repaired, and there' have been added, a .music room, library, and a rpom for the laboratory. It seemed to be necessary to use the auditorium .for. rooms as it was small. Conse iquently, we assemble together *for 'phapel and entertainments. We hope |to work toward that end to build a large auditorium to seat the large crowds who come here, in the near future. We were very glad indeed to have with us Rev. Fred N. Day last Thurs day morning to conduct Chapel ex 7 ercise for us. Rev.

WORK AT THE FERRY The preliminary work for the con struction of the proposed concrete bridge across the Cape Fear River at Avent’s Ferry, is about finished and work will begin on the bridge proper in a few days. Two big barges, a cement house and office have been constructed. In order to supply the laborers with good water a well has been sunk near the river. Material is now being moved to the river to go in the bridge. Very few laborers are to be employed to construct the bridge as much of the material will be handled by labor-saving machinery. The power to operate this machinery will b$ furnished by the Carolina Power and Light Company. It seems that it is no trouble to get labor ’for work of this kind. Several hundred laborers have applied for work.—San ford Express. Mr. J. O. Harmon and Mis 3 Olivia Harmon spent the week-end in Titts boro. VOL. 48. NO. “LADY OF IWUKHTARA” TALKS OF U. S. SHOES Queen of the Druses Won’t Discuss Politics. i Mukhtara, Greater Lebanon, §yrta. — Dressed in purple robes of the finest silks and satin, tall and rather plump, her face covered by a flimsy black veil of the most exquisite texture, the j “lady of. AJukhtara” presents truly a j regal picture. “The queen of the Druses,” as she is culled by the men who are fighting the sWdiers of France, is often looked to for advice and guidance. She ap pears every inch a queen. Aged about thirty-seven, she was left a widow a few years ago when her husband, a member of the great family of the Yumblatts, was assassi nated by his own countrymen, the Druses. Inherited Much Wealth. Sit Nizira Yamblatt was left alone . with her two children, at the head of her immense property both in the Lebanon and the Djebel Druse. She never wept a tear, never tried to prosecute her husband’s murder ers, but as in the past took a moral and financial Interest in the welfare of her countrymen. Although unreconciled td the French mandate, Sit Nizira warned Sultan Attrache not to rise against France in open armed rebellion. Sfif refused to contribute any funds toward the purchase of war material and ammuni tion, but has placed money at the dis posal of widows and orphans of the Druse warriors fallen In battle. Shown Priceless Tapestries. This was the woman who received the correspondent in a great room lit tered with the richest carpets of Da mascus, hung with the priceless tap estries of Persia, in an atmosphere strangely redolent of the “Thousand and One Nights.” Speaking excellent English, the queen’s first words were: “Please don’t talk politics. I no longer have Interest in politics when blood is flowing in the Djebel Druse and my countrymen aj*e being killed In hopeless battle. Talk to me about America.” “These shoes, they ' come from America,” she volunteered, when the correspondent had perhaps rather too intently looked at her ' dainty feet. “You must have had them made to order,” the correspondent absently re plied. “ I don’t see how you could find a size small enough in the ready mades.” The suspicion of a frown appeared and then she smiled and said; “Yes, they are rather small, and it is a good thing that brains are not in one’s feet.” 1 The queen discussed the United States and other topics as far re moved as possible from war In • the Djebel Druse. Her eyes flashed with pride when she was told that her countrymen In America generally proved to become good citizens, were respected members of their com munities aifd the majority prospered financially. Oklahoma Women Bare Indian Ideals Oklahoma City, Okla. Esthetic traits of the Oklahoma Indians are being emphasized to club women of Oklahoma In a series of programs de signed for that purpose. An index of literature dealing with the origin, history, religion, folk lore and music of Indian tribes that have their home In Oklahoma has been pre pared by Mrs. Czarina Conlan, chair man of the Indian welfare committee of the Oklahoma Federation of Wom en’s Clubs. Intended as tentative ma terial for Indian programs, the index is available to all women’s clubs, Mrs. Conlan aid. v ' The programs are Intended to re move the impression that the battle cTy and the war dance are still the prevailing forms of aboriginal expres , slon. . Mrs. Conlan, herself of Choctaw and Chickasaw origin, points out that the five civilized tribes of Oklahoma—the Chickasaws, Choctaws, Cherokees, Creeks and Seminoies —have been an educated people for more than a cen , tury and that many outstanding art ists hgve sprung from their ranks. UPTURNED WITH BRIDE Mr. N. C. Shiver, Chatham’s efficient county agent, disappeared a few weeks ago. Some one informed the Record that he had gone away for an operation. Sure enough he under went two operations, one on his ton sils, and a second on his nostrils. But those operations do not account for the undue length of his absence. On August 26, over at Walhalla, S. C., the young gentleman took unto himsqlf a help-mate in the person of Miss Caroline Ansel. It was a home wedding. The bride is a charming young woman, a niece of former Governor Ansel of South Carolina. Mr. and Mrs. Shiver arrived here last week and are at home at the Blair Hotel. Rev. R. G. Shannonhouse, who has been quite ill at Watts Hospital, re turned home Friday. He is rapidly improving. • t
