DEBATING SOCIETY
S i A i DKIWRT.MENT OF F.IH'C
TION PRESS SERVICE
Xorth Carolina boys have a genius
for debating. That talent is being
cultivated in various ways in every
section of the state. One tremendous
stimulus has been the High School
Debating Union of the University in
which 150 schools were enrolled in
1913-14.
If your community has not organ
ized a society, write the Debating
Union at Chapel Hill for its bulletin
on Public Discussion and Debate. It
fives complete plans and details. This
is the way a society wa s organized at
Cameron. The story is by "W. H. J."
in the Progressive Farmer:
"Last January all the boys were in
vited to meet at the schoolhouse on a
certain night for the purpose of organ
izing a debating society. Now this
seemed a treat to the boys to know
that the men were interested enough
in us to ask us to meet them to organ
ize a society of our own.
"A man who had been a member of
a debating society when he was a boy
boy made a short speech and some ol I
the things that he talked about were I
that we boys would be men some day '
and in order to tit ourselves for thej
varied duties of life we should culti-j
vate a correct mode of speaking ami!
qualify ourselves by practice to ex-1
press our thoughts in public in a clear!
manner. Ho also said ho know of a
little schoolhouse down in Union cciin-j
ty whore such a society was organised ;
when ho was growing up and thai!
community had sestt more men out in-!
t the vovM v. h-i aro lii'nng high p. '
tions today than any other part o,'
the state he know of".
"So, after hearing his words of en
couragement we decided this must b
a good thing and the result was v. e
all joined. Wo named our society the
'Jcllersonian Literary Society.'
"Our society has boon a succe.-s
from the tirst, for every member
seemed to take a great intcre.-t in H.
We began debating on easy subjects,
and have had several public debates
and eai h time the committeemen de
clare they never .saw so much im
provement in boys in their life.
"We charged a small foe to join and
this was put in the treasury to bear
expenses such as lamps, oil, etc.
"We have a debate every other Fri
day night, and a public debate occa
sionally. "I certainly think this is a grand
thing and it is doing a vast amount
of good, besides the pleasure we de
rive from it."
A woman rural school suprvisor to
supplement the work of the county
superintendent of public instruction
is the latest advance in rural educa
tion in the state. Such a supervisor
13 doing a most successful work in
McDowell county, developing a few
demonstration schools to show what
kiml of work can be done in element
ary schools having efficient supervi
sion. Five other counties now have
women rural school supervisors as
sisting the county superintendent in a
similar way.
The plan was first projected and
worked out by L. C. Brogdon, State
supervisor of rural elementary schools
in conjunction with the Southern Edu
cation Hoard and the State Depart
ment of Education. Its adoption in
McDowell was secured anil it is work
ing so well there that it is hoped that
little difficulty will be 'xperienced in
having other counties adopt it.
Instead of scattering her effort"
over the entire county, the McDowell
supervisor this year is devoting her
time to ten schools, seeking to make
them demonstration svhools. to show
how the county schools .an be made to
train for pv;i, t T-n ' roral livirnr when

Prnt ess
Wuh'nir no'i undo,- the sun. Sol
omon is reputed t have said this,
but we remarked it once h-fore. .lust
now the Osteopathic Society conies
forward and says if your tooth aches
you can stop it by pressing your
thnmli. This is the storv sent oat
about it and it mav bo worth while:
"AH that is necessary to stop the
nain of an mhing incision or bicuspid
is to exert pressure on the thumb or
fingers of the hand on the side which
holds the ache. That is. if one l as
a counle of left incisors that are too
painful to endure, ho can forget all
about th"m simnly by pressing hard
on the second joint of the left thumb.
It's not a f-.ncifnl theory, nor a va
riation of '.he old "counter irritant"
remedy. Dr.Smith says. It is effect
ive heenuso the nerves that are af
fected when the teeth ache have a
connection with the nerves in the
'h':nd and fingers, and the pressure
produces anaesthesia over the entire
nerve region. Dr. Smith proved the
effectiveness of his remedy by press
ing a clinical patient's left thumb
and joining a needle into the man's
loft gum u".l:u- the inciters. The
patient did not flinch, and said he
suffered no pain. Dr. Smith says the
While many democratic newspapers,
are lamenting the falling off in t..
democratic majority in congress anu
anti-democratic newspapers are crow
ing over what they are pleased io
call a sweeping victory, we can see
no cause of worry. To us the returns
indicate a great democratic victory,
uni'er the most trying circumstances.
Two years :go President Wilson
went into office because the republi
can party was split into two factions.
The combined republican and Hull
Moose popular vote exceeded that of
Mr. Wilson. With these two factions
united Mr. Wilson would have stood
small show of winning. Last week
democracy won on its merits, against,
a foe united and aggressive. Through
out the nation Bull Moose and stand1
pat republicans got together in a way
that doubtless made glad the hearts
of Oldjo Cannon. Barnes, Penrose,
and the other "robbers" who manned
the famous "steam roller" at Chicago
in 1!12. Even Oldjo himself, the
worst of the stand-pat aggregation,
was returned to congress. The re
turns show that the Bull Moose party
is as dead as Old Scroogo, and it will
he remembered that that famous
Dickens character was "dead, dead as
I a door nail."

SCHOOL TEACHERS TO HELP IN
OBSERVANCE Or tUJtMlfliu
SERVICE WEEK
The State Department of Education
at Raleigh hrs thrown more strength
into the movement for the observance
of Community Service. Dr. J. Y Joy
ner is mailing out from his office a
letter to each principal of each school
in North Carc'ina urging that a meet
ing of the parents of the community
be held at the schoolhouse on Novem
ber 20 at which tide plans may be
made for the observance in that com
munity! if a committee has been or
ber 20 at which time plans may be
advanced for a complete co-operation.
The whole idea is that the teachers
of the State take a hand in the matter
of Community Service. The school is
naturally the center of the community.
What affects the community affects
the school and, in general, the school
reflects the spirit of the people of the
neighborhood.
After calling for the meeting on
November 20 the letter of Dr. Joy
ner reads:
"Under the law of the State, North
Carolina Day must be observed in all
our schools, and this year North Car
olina Day has been fixed for Friday,
December 4, and is to be observed as
'School and Neighborhood Improve
ment llnv ' It is to he a nart of the
Community Service Week proclaimed
by Governor Craig.
"In nhsrvinff VnrtVi Carolina Dav
heretofore, as you will recall, it has
mainly been necessary to interest you
and your pupils, and you generally
invited the community to look on.
This year, however, the plan is dif
ferent. All grown men and women
of the district and the boys and the
girls meet together Friday, December
4. at your schoolhouse and hold a sort
of all-.lav picnic meeting to discuss
'What Can We Do To Improve Our
School and Neighborhood.'
"My purpose in asking for a par
ents' meeting for Friday afternoon,
November 20lh, is to make arrange
ments for this 'North Carolina Day'
or 'School Improvement Day two
weeks later. If you have no committe
on Commumtv Service Week already
