-i*:“Is your school _ meeting • farm
needs ?” is the title 'of a searching
article by our own Dr. Clarence Poe”
in this week's Farm Organ whiph Jje
„ 'adits so ably with that deep' under
current purpose of the “enrichment
' 7$life.’* # . ' ■
f Dr. Foe very entertainingly brings,
out the fact that farmer children can
got eveh leaijn to spell their language
easily—'“Commercial and city words
are Trequeux enough in the spelling
books, but do you ever see such wobds
as Clevis, Singletree or protein.”
r j. “The great need is to develop a
richness and color into the daily tasks
ofthe great masses of our people.’’
Righto—and three cheers to him when'
he quotes, “The farmer has a right
a Joyous existence.” Who indeed
Sire richly deserves it. Also he quotes
Raskin’s famous line, ‘There is no
. wealth but life.” Where could, one have
' life more abundantly than on a farm—
if as. Or. Poe desires, rural life could
be lifted onto a plane where agricult
ture is “enabled as a science, enriched
’ as a business, and beautiful as a life.”
_ Thui typical school book and the usual
young lady teacher just out of some
ffresh r water, would-be-society-giria
college is prone to give the ruddy j
.cheeked sons apd daughters of the
. rural sections the idea aft a vety early.]
age that tbe farmis a place one stays.
jSjrfcen there isn’t anywhere else' to go
or when one is too utterly stupid tq1
make a go of it aftywhere.else. . T^e'
textbooks are very much ' to blame.1
' But a chiid soon learns . .to regard a
soda jerker and a ten cent store cleric
with more respect than he does a
farmer or a farmer’s, family. We are
“ISM
thing bigger and better—and
are not enough white collar jobs—mad
there are not enough teacher jobs.
There is much material from which
to choose and it is certainly to be
hoped that more care will be taken
in the selection of our teachers from
year to year, -vv ; i
: iWe need also to get away from the
idea prevalent for some years that
the schools are run for the .teachers.
.1 am quite sure the tax-payers never
meant this. They ffieant the schools
to be run for the interest of the
pupils.
Many editorials on schools this sum
mer have been startlipgly off course.
One . read some weeks ago still ranhl
ing in my cranium compares the tea
chers salaries to the wages of mill
’workers, and proves that the poor
teacher in eight months time will
qnly Snake what ' the mill workers
make in twelve months time. Of course
the neat hours of from eioht-thirtv
to two-thirty given ,the 'teacher com
pares most pleasantly with the hours
of from seven to six usually indulged
- in by the mill' worker but no meptiott
•is made of this. The poor teacher has
to live the entire twelve months, he
says. Never fear—he wilt' Usually
: the summer months are spent most
pleasantly at home with loved oom,
(the1 mill worker has no such leisurely
home) or as is very often the case,
flitting about to resorts or visiting
friends, and quiteoften the teacher
■' steps right into some other job for the
Summer. All too infrequently do we
find spy of these teachers studying
pn even in a summer school.
y’ There should'be better achot^ build
ings, they should hie cleaner and have
more room. There should be far bet
ter school grounds mid more play
groupd equipment especially’ for the
smaller children, who are so woefully
, tacking in our local schools in sny
; tiling which tends to develop the initfa
five or freedom and grace of move
meat. There should be better sanita
tion and better health officers—men
interested in ^something'besides mere
- 'vacclnatiop—there should be safer
. busses, better teachers and better
salaries, but quite sadly enough the
. millennium has not come. In fact, it
dies not even seem to be hoveripg
Just around the comer. ,
• May we switch back to Dr. Poe and
quote a- paragraph which he quoted
anonymously. It gives us a goal._ “A
vi mi boy or girl who likes a beeutifuTpic
Fmtif. tune, a sunset, a rose jbush, a robin,

Williams Explains Organization . . ■
To Mass Meeting (At City
Hall Monday Night.
$50,000 CAPITAL STOCK
A mass meeting- of the citizens of
| the town was held in the City Hall on
' last Mondhy night to discuss and make
plans for the organization, of a bank
| in Sanford. The meeting was held on*
| der the auspices of the Sanford Busi
ness Association, President T. 3,
Cross presiding, ang Myron Under
, wood acting as secretary. The object
of the meeting was explained! by W.
R. Williams, chairman! of the bank
committee, which has been working
for the past few weeks to got a bank,
organized and in operation is Sanford.
Mr. Williams bad been informed by -
Gurney P. Hood, State Bank Commis
sioner, that the way was clear for the
citizens of Sanford to go ahead and
organize a local bank without waiting
for the • Guaranty Trust Company to - * &
complete its organization-and).set up
banks in the various - towns where ,
banks had been operated byi the three
big banking concerns—the North Caro
Una Bank and Trust Company, of
Greensboro; the Independence Trust
Company, of Charlotte, and the Page ..
Trust Company, of Aberdeen- , Mr.
Williams went to Washington where
he made a study of national banking
and gaine^ much' inforpiaton about
how to set up and operate a national
bank. He went into detail and explain
ed both State and national, banking:
haystema. It semed. that'those who
heard Mr. Williams’. ■ explanation of
j thettwo systems, favored organizing
a national bank in fSanford if we are
judge i>y the way they voted. The
vote bn the proposition to set hg'A
, national or federal hank seemed to be
" unanimous. There seems to be tohre
. safeguards thrown around the national
^.than,.the State baniq^js-systeim W.ueii
ig and tlie f
I zation of a bank seemed good. Ail
seemed to be thoroughly convinced
’ that the town could never go forward
’ without the organization of a bank.
II Many questions were put to Mr.
Williams about the plan of organiza
tion and all were answered promptly
and intelligently. He stated that it
would be necessary to raise stock to
the amount of $50,000 before the pro
posed bank can be organized and put
in operation. He stated that the Re
construction Finance Corporation had
given assurance of a subscription of
fifty per cent in preferred stock of a
bank here, with a capital of not less
than $50,000.
O. P. Makepeace, who was called on
to discuss the matter, first discussed
the question of a tobacco warehouse.
11 He saw the necessity of a warehouse
': as well as a bank. He predicted that
j if the two were bu It we would see
! better days in Sanford.
1 It w^as decided to appoint a com
mittee whose business will be to sign
I the application for a bank and go to
L Washington and file it. After this is
• (done a representative of the Federal
( Government will be sent to Sanford
1 in a few days to set up the bank and
see that it is started off according to
national banking rules and regulations,
i ( The question of continuing the present
l committee to handle the matter was
■ discussed, but it was decided to ap
* point a new committee for the work
► of soliciting stock for the bank. The
l following committee was appointed:
s D. C. Lawrence, Chairman; W. R.

noon and discussed plans for making
the canvass and solicit:ng the stock
for the bank. Prom time to time they
propose te add others to this commit
