R. Finley, program chair man, introduced his program by ahowing a North Carolina cam- Vign flag which was used in be- Miir of the presidential candidate af the 'Whig party in 1840. The ■ag was preserved by J. T. Fin- fcy, father of Mr. Finley, who voted for the first time that wear. It has been in the Finley •imily since that time. Thus furnishing a background fir the main address, Mr. Fin- fcy presented Mr. Johnston. The speaker significantly re- maiiced that some political par- fcs, fncluding the Whig party, were short lived. “Ever so often, a great personality flashes acro.ss fie horizon of our national life so fivQiantly that a cleavage is left and the result is a realignment.” Mr- Johnston suggested that per- •ape Franklin D. Roosevelt was aa^ a personality. He said the •Uro gp'eat parties today are a iodge-podge of political thinkers. He declared that Republicans like Catting. Hiram Johnson, La Fol- fctte and Norris were closer to the Chesident in their thinking than Beaiocrats like John W. Davis and amny others. The speaker’s review of the his- of the Whig party which •leeted Harrison in 1840 and Xachary Taylor, was intensely in- Ifcresting. His comments upon the fobticai history and great person alities which have influenced the aatfonal thinking were timely and fin of human interest. The matter of securing action on Kgbway No. 16 between Millers Creek and Glendale Springs was again brought to the attention of •e club when P. W- Eshelman aawie a motion to wire E. B. Jeff- aeas, chairman of the state high- wray commission, requesting that he advise the club as to the status mt this project. The motion car- med and the telegram was dis- gatched Friday afternoon. Two new’ members, B- R. Un- fiiwuod, manager of the Scott Cheese and Butter company, and H S.

Therefore, we rather defend than indict our system of education. With regard to the nations of the world, we are too young to have reached the zenith of our glory In achievement. The eyes of the world are look- ng upon us as living in an age of light and knowledge where science and the arts are moving on with gigantic strides In a land of glorious liberties bought with the precious blood of he roes. Along with these blessings are multitudes of our strongest and best men and women engaged in the vocation of teaching. The lure of it is great. The perma nent contribution they make to society is beyond calculation. So long as we love we serve: so long as we are loved by others we will be regarded by them as indis- Itensable. One of the greatest human ap proaches looking toward a life of social betterment is training workers with skill as wage earn ers with the vision of service. So training for employment is not and impartially revlaeft so that nothing be lost from the time which should be devoted to the pupils, efforts to ohtoln a store of fundamental, practical- and useful knowledge. That supervisors, principals and grade teachers be thorough ly awakened to the fact that In this day of changes In Industrial developments, in science, and In the arts. It Is also just as evident that the world is undergoing as great a change In conception and that things once considered ma terial are today considered more or less Immaterial, or even worthless. Quoting Julian S. Miller In The Charlotte Observer: “Twenty-two Million Americans are drawing money from the federal treasury, one out of every six of the popu lation of the country.” Then, pray, interpret the (teacher’s responsibility In find ing a solution to this the great est of our Nation’s problems. We have this original thought which occurred to us today; That a series of articles be prepared by competent scholars conveying in logical order the fundamental principles of thrift, that these lessons in thrift be Illustrated by attractive photographs and draw ings which will enable the pupil to understand clearly the princi ples involved. Also that these articles be written In primary, elementary and in hi^h school graduation in book form and adopted in the State Course of Study for every State In the Union.

It needs to be placed before the minds of growing youth. Public school teachers should get the vision not only of the hidden potentialities of the child but of the marvelous uses he can advancement. Education should fit one for life. The intellect is the power by which we sense life and its entire surroundings. Personality becomes rounded out in the social contacts of school life.
