It says, “Why will some schools follow such a dishonest proce dure as to grade children on their mental advancement by the number of days attended?” | In other words, “How can any con scientious teacher detract from the scholastic grade of any pupil because the pupil has not made perfect attend Slue?” In heavens name what has perfect attendance to do with ^cholar 7 ship? If an imbecile attends school *> every day,' rain or shine, snow or sleet and when strewing sore eyes or a ' bronchial cough, or even a measles. fever, shall this imbecilic moron be * feted and cherished beyond the bril liant Scholar who can do as much hi four days time—or even in two days time for that matter—as the moronic “Subject who attends every day, but who is never all there mentally?” ■ > “Odds BddMns Prof,““says the pen, “have you forgotten the parable of the toilers in the vineyards? If you remember the Biblical parable of tile men who toiled all day and the men who came in at the eleventh hoar. “We have borne the heat of the day,” murmured the first—and. yet the re ward was the same. The master ( equally rewarded the one coming in at the eleventh bout;.” “Now I like perfect, attendance,” says the pen, “that is I like it for well pupils. But I cannot, no Icasnot, re-, v' concile myself- to cutting down . a scholastic grade because, o/,a poor at tendance. It is all very well to wbopp -VP perfect attendance—especially since it in some occult way boosts a salary!’ or an ^location—But after all is said and done the scholastic attain ment of the pupils is the alpha and the omega of any worthwhile school; “ Have you noticed how much more whoop-la and Hey-Hey is attached tc the pupils who are always on the spot dn person than to the pupilswho meel the scholastic requirements.?”’ . ’ It reminds me of two. old' gentle . men who interested me greatly ir . . childhood.

This very nice old — gent would (draw up a chair in the corner and sit there, and dose and . hum Wood till dawn. The other never arose before dawn. But when he arose he was awake— Rad his day began right then and there. >7 . ‘ ■ i7 JOk farmer gentlemen spent a large part <ff every day in. chopping wood.

But it is time Utfci* pen heartily enjoys a digression.. | “So did Buskin,” it quite impudently i retorts, and I cannot deny the great. Buskin specialized in digressing. It is a gohd thing surely to own a • home. And "when a body owns land. (and continues year after year to rent | bungalows, cottages, apartments, tf3aU) bdkch houses, mountain shacks and pay rent, well that is possibly not so wise. Life ig not like it used to be fhdngh. Conditions surely are differ ent,' A mail’s job, or a woman’s, now a-days is moth] likely to take him to thefour comers of the earth than to {tie him to one spot.. It appears in fact, that we are likely to become situated - like the Bhgfish. ‘ It is considered a great luxury there to be able to live in the country. It becomes more and more expensive to Hve in the country. If one acquires any of the needful comforts, such as electric lights and running water, why it is a fact he can , live much more cheaply in most any tmniJ/ To build .a home is supposed to be, of .great. to the nation.

I lived in a rose stucco once,i in what was called “Patton Court,” a group of eight rose-hued Spanish bungalows around a lovely Spanish, patio or court under the eucalyptus trees on Patton Street.” . . '“Build an English type—a great old steep roofed country house,” says one. “Build a sweet, white cottage, with roses clamboring on one side and yel low jasmine on the other—friendly and homey with much lattice work.” "Build solidly, for the future, build with brick—a stout, firm house, cool in summer. Warm in winter.” ^ “Bed brick were always ugly. I love best of all a large white house on1 simple colonial lines—set far back in a dignified area under great trees— preferably enormous oaks and elms. There must of course be a chaste and imposing row of white r colonial col umns. There most be an upper bal cony—a rose garden to the side—a grape arbor in the rear.

Toy is dead! He was a noted scholar and a gifted linguist. -He Was a gentlemen of the old school. Culture he knew and observed in a large way. His passing at Chapel Hill, October the tenth, marks a definite stepping stone. Few of the older pro cessors remain. Ampler opportunities for advancement and larger' salaries have lured away so many of our best. But Dr. Toy remained to the end and rounded out 48 years of service to the Old U.

In hearing reports from directors of the association, Mr. Cross, as chair man of ithe agriculture committee, said his committee , was working on plans for holding a farmers’ trade day and exchange On a nearby date, and was also considering the advis ability of recommending the purchase 1 of a blooded bull by the county for] breeding purposes. , Mayor Banks Wilkins, chairman of the marketing committee, said his committee had considered the matter of a public cotton1 weighing platform, but had about decided the plan was .not feasible at the. moment. He out lined plana to bolster ahd support the Sanford tobacco market, and said these plans would come to fruition next week. It was his suggestion the : tobacco buyers and associates were in vited to be guests, at the general meet ing Tuesday night. r 1 Dr. F. W. McCracken, chairman of the civic' committee, outlined a pro gram of city beautification to go hand in hand with the program being , started by the local Kiwanis Club. This morning. Dr. McCracken stated work on planting rye grass seed on 1 sidewalk areas on U. S. Route 1 and on State Highway 60, within the city limits, would commence Monday mom ing. Definite plans have not been completed, but a ladies’ committee, headed by'Mrs. C. L, Scott‘and Mrs. J. E. Brinn will start an immediate canvas of householders on'these two | routes urging purchase of’tV* neces sary seed for the sidewalk areas and , also for' lawns. Directors were es pecially impressed with the grass seed planting program, and informally urg ed a whole-hearted public cooperation with, the plan. - ‘ k' | O. P. Makepeace, of the highway Committee, said his committee was ;! still Working on plans for a rdad from . Sanford to Smithfieid. He said a road 'by Avents Ferry and on to Holly Springs, thence to Raleigh, was being Surveyed by the state highway com mission and would probably be built. He said his group wanted a leader '•taken off this road and on to Smith field, by way of Angier. Incidentally, he pointed out, an apparent tendency to lead all newly constructed joads to Raleigh. He said highway forces were oiling the highways between Sanford j and Lillington, and Sanford and pay , etteville, and that' the Sanford-Greens j boro highway was being patched. W. E. Horner, chairman of the pub-, licity committee, reported alt news outlets were cooperating In giving necessary publicity to the work of the association. Vi 7 V .

Ever patient, gentle and kind, J she was a, woman beloved by every one, and numbered her friends by her acquaintances. Herhusband has often been described as one of. the greatest men this county has.' ever proluced, and there none who will deny that die is. to be given credit for a large share of the success ^attained by 'house hold, as she worked hand in hand, with him through all the years. The .union split asunder by his death has now been made whole again, with a happy reunion in the Great Beyond, where the flower never withers and. the rainbow never fades. large Crowd Attends Funeral. Annie Marie McPherson Reynolds was laid to rest in the cemetery oil Cool Springs church, which, she loved and of which she was an ever-faithful member. There she .rests beside.her husband, sleeping the sleep of the! blessed. The edifice was -filled/’And could have been filled again;*' with those who. were in attendance at the services, which were in chargC of her pastor, Rev. F. B. Nobiett. Tha words spoken over her during the rites com prised a comforting and .inspiring message for those who are left behind. Banked around and over., her last resting place, i| wide profussion and array, were dozens of beautiful floral tributes. She loved flowers Grief-stricken, were her children to see their dear mother go, and the hearts of many others who held her in warm’ affection are heavy with the poignant pain of losing one whom 'they cherished, and whose place can 'never be filled. I A full, rich and useful life—pure j as tire white rose which she holds in her hand—thus comes to /ts epd, af ter its years of accomplishment and work well done. To mourn herjs.b.ut human and altogether fitting. None theless, there is joy in contemplating the rest and peace; rae surcease from all of life’s cares and troubles, which are the blessing and reward of those who die in the Lord.
