PAGE EIGHT Teachers With High Training on Increase —® — Raleigh, Aug. 13.—Teachers with high scholastic training tend to in crease, while those with the least training tend to decrease, according to State School' Facts, publication of the Department of Public In struction. In 1921-22, that paper points out, approximately 15 per cent of the white teachers and 2.5 per cent of the colored teachers were college graduates. In 1929-30 the percent age of white teachers with four years standard college training had increased to 42.4, and the percent age of colored teachers with this amount of training to 12.1. The percentage of teachers with three years of college training, the paper shows, increased from 5.8 in 1921-22 to 21.1 in 1929-30 for the white race, and from .8 in 1921-22 to 19.5 in 1929-30 for the colored race. White teachers with two years of college training had decreased dur ing this period from 17.4 per cent to 14.4 per cent, whereas colored teachers increased from 11.4 per cent to 12.4 per cent. The one-year college training white teachers increased in percentage from 5.8 in 1921-22 to 16.2 in 1928-29. Last year, 1929-30, there was- a decreased in this type of teacher. The percentage of colored teachers of this type increased from 1.5 in 1921-22 to 17.9 in 1929-30. The percentage of teachers with training below college level show a decided tendency to decrease. In 1921-22 more than 50 per cent of all white teachers and over 80 per cent of all colored teachers had no college training. In 1929-30 only 7.5 per cent of the white teachers employed and 38.1 per cent of the colored teachers were in this class. VERSES OF POETRY (Written for Mrs. J. M. McLauch lin by Miss Nannie Harris, Ma con, N. C.) Sister dear has gone and left us. \ Left us for her home above, And our hearts are sad and lonely, Longing for one we loved. —£ But she has gone to be with Jesus In His happy home to dwell, And the beauty of His mansions Mortal tongues can never tell. When Death came, he found her ready, With her lamp all trimmed and bright; Now she is safe beyond death’s par tals, Crowned with glory, robed in white. We can see her dear hands beck oning As she calls from glory’s heights, “Dear ones, won’t you meet me In a land where comes no night?” May God bless her dear companion As he travels on alone. Be his stay and guide and use him Till he too shall reach the throne. “I cannot say, and will not say, That she is dead; she is just away. With a cheery smile and a wave of the hand She has wandered into an unknown land, And left us dreaming, how very fair, It needs must be since she lingers there; And you—O you! who the wildest yearsn For the old time step and the glad return. Think of her faring on, as dear In the love of there as the love of here. Think of her still, as the same, I say. She is not dead—she is just away.” Dusty Rhoades —Madam, I was at the front— Kind - Hearted - Lady —M y poor man. Another victim of that terrible war. Here’s a dollar. Now, tell me how you got into these straits. Dusty—l was going to say, ma’am, that I was at the front door an’ no body answered, so I came around to the back. Thanks for the dollar, ma’am. —The Pathfinder. — “What’s the matter, old man?” asked Charleappel, as he met an old friend. “Well, I’ve been worried lately, replied Matteossian. “You remember I hired a man to trace my pedi gree?” , “Yes,” replied Charleappel. “What’s the trouble? Hasn’t he been successful?” “Successful! I should say he had!” wailed Matteossian. “I’m having to pay him hush-money.”—The Path finder.

My faverlte Stories |»y into Colifc Spoken From (he Heart Out PROBABLY most of the readers ars familiar with the story of the negro who worked as an extra at one of the Hollywood studios and who, in the filming of a scene purporting to show an African Jungle, was called upon to enter a camouflaged cage con taining a performing lion. The pros pect did not appeal to the candidate. He demurred at it “What’s the matter with you?” said the assistant director. “That lion’s not going to hurt you. That lion was brought up on milk.” “So wuz I brung up on milk “ said the unhappy darky, “but I eats meat once in awhile now.” Os somewhat more recent vintage Is a tale that I heard only the other day. The man who told it to me said it really happened. At one of the big plants they were i making a movie dealing with scrip tural times. One scene showed the court of a savage potentate. For the role of the monarch a huge coal ' black Afro-American was selected. He made his sntrance, scantily garbed in , barbaric trapping j. For added realism it was decreed that over his shoul ders shor.i.’j he draped a live leopard, lust before the animal was brought »ui ni hie cage her trainer gave her a shot of morphine to keep her docile and quiet. She was a lady-leopard. A small negro, newly arrived in California from Texas, was detailed ro accompany the giant on his tri umpliant entry and to fan him with a huge ostrich plume fan. The costume of this supernumerary consisted of a breech-clout and an ankle bracelet, lie took himself and his role very seriously, which, of course, was ex actl.v what the director desired. In advance lie was warned that no mat ter what happened, he must continue to fan the savage king until ordered to leave off. A slip on his part might ruin the whole film. Midway of the scene the leopard suddenly woke up. Presumably, the dope was dying out in the spotted beast. She emitted a snarl and began to wiggle off her perch upon the big black man’s shoulders. With one hand he grabbed her by the neck and held the spitting, squealing creature at arm’s length. There was an instantaneous scat teration. The .director, the camera men and the supporting members of the cast beat it for places of safety. Only the little darky held his ground. Mindful of his instructions he con tinued the fanning operation; but the fan trembled and quivered In his grip and his rolling eyes were focussed on the struggling leopard and out of the corner of his nouth, with all the server of which he was capable, he entreated the big negro over and over again »n these words: “Don’t cast her aside! Tha’s all 1 asts you—don’t cast her aside!” ((EL bv th«» McNaturhf Syndicate. Inc.) <g> ABANDON FLIGHT Vancouver, B. C., Aug. 13.—80 b Wark, Seattle, and Eddie Brown, Kansas City Monday abandoned their proposed four-stop fight from Tacoma, Wash, to Tokyo, after their plane had been seriously damaged in landing at Ladner airport, near here. The propeller of their plane, Pa cific Era, was smashed and the under carriage badly damaged in landing at Ladner after a few minutes’ flight from Vancouver airport. The plane ran into a ditch. Wark, nursing a slightly injured kee, said the flight would not be continued. The fliers were forced down here yesterday on a flight from Tacoma. BADLY NEEDED Montclair, N. J., Aug. 13.—Henry M. Lacam, who says his home is in New York, appeared before Recorder Henry Strazza Monday, charged with vagrancy. The recorder Asked his business or profession. “I’m a lecturer,” said Lacam. “Where did you lecture last?” asked the recorder. “Chicago. I lectured all the rack eteers and gunmen and as a result of my efforts, they’ve all closed up.” “That’s fine,” said the recorder, “I think they need you in Newark.” “Sure,” said Lacam, ‘t‘hat’s the: very place I want to go.” “Thirty days in the Essex county jail at Newark,” said the court. '''ll 1 1 fjIjJFIGUPE THAT OUT () | A FATAL MISTAKE A man wished to buy a Chrits mas present for his sweetheart and after meditation and considerotion, he decided on a pair of gloves as an appropriate gift. As his sister had some shopping to do, he ac companied her. While she was buy ing some step-ins for herself, he bought the gloves. In delivering the parcels they were mixed up, his sister received the gloves and his sweetheart the step-ins. He followed his present with a letter as follows: “This little token is to remind you of Christmas. I chose them be cause you have not been in the habit of wearing them out in the evenings. Had it not been for my sister, I would have gotten long ones, with only one button. They are rather delicate color but the lady showed me a pair she had worn LAST CHANCE^ LADIES AND MEN:—This is about your L-t chance to buy New SUMMER FOOTWEAR at such LOW PRICES —to tell you the facts would take too long, so if v ou want to buy Sport Oxfords, Blond Pumps or White Pumps, call in and ask us to show the shoes, and if y ou don’t find the prices cut to the quick, don’t spend 5 CENTS WITH US.
