DOBS THE PARTY OP THE PROPLE APPEAL TO YOU? Won't yon give a part of yonr time on November 3th to its ' LINDSAY C. WARREN, Chairman Den. Kmc. Gem. "?NEV f Newsy News To the Nei Of JAKHVILXJi ATOMS. "As the old cock rrows, the young cock learns." Bragaw, your position on making the school term longer is undoubtedly Indorse^ by qoite a number of peoplel When Jakeville threw out those little suggestions he anticipated just such responses from roanjf quarters, though not from you. He expected yob to jump up and say, "Don't stop at one month, let's have two." You base your opinion on those little x's found so numerously in the school record. We must admit these little x> are significant, very significant. Tbsy tell "bad tales" on patrons and teachers. They emphasize the necessity of longer terms. In a district near us, a few years ago there was a shabby little school house, unconfutable, unpointed. Now they have a roomy, comfortable, and attractive building. They have by private subscription raised their teacher's salary from $35 to $45. and are now agitating an extra month They have captured the teacher that an adjoining district ban been de pending on the past two or three years. This latter district believes in 4 month terms, $35 teachers, and lots of little x's. * That progressive district didn't . wait (or the little x's to disappear from Its record before it started to move forward. Had it waited for this it would be doing business at the same old stand. One thing calls for another. Lengthen the term, this will be a progressive movement, and other thing* will begin to move with it. ' Ask Small If It waited for the 1Htl* x's to get out of its way before it made an effort to move on. If we allow tUe x'a to govern us *e shall go backward instead of forward. Folowlng up your idea, Bragaw. some folks might come to the "logical conclusion" that to eliminate or reduce the little x's we must off i? irwtb tfftd tntre-w M fciuuO schooL In Algebra, x's represent unknown Quantities. So do they in school records. Unknown is It how much obscure talent, how much ungratltied ambition, how many brlUlai.r Tangibilities they represent. Longer terms tre known quantities. Give us these and they will determine those other quantities. Teachers do not teach entirely for fun. Our beet teachers do not teach entirely for money, hut schools that have lung terms and pay good salaries have the best teachers. Shall Beaufort County, shall the State of North Carolina withhold opportunity from those who want toj go forward because some folks love, to decorate tbe school record with, litfilg x's? NEWS FROM R.
