Miller, of ■ Columbia University, unleashed a scorching indictment of the mod ern high school system before a meeting of the North Central Dis trict of the North Carolina Edu . cation Association. ! Dr. Miller, among other things, recommended the virtual abandon ment of all the old cultural stand bys, Latin, German, histories of ancient wars, and of political cam paigns. i These should be scrapped, he said, in order that a new education,; teaching children to "grapple with present and future reality" and thus insuring "permanent prosper ity. " might be substituted. • He told the superintendents theyj were "either silly or dishonest" • if they continued to request funds 1 for high schools while believing that education is power less to help prevent economic suf fering. Monroe Speaks. The convention adjourned after hearing Dr, Paul Monroe, head of the school of international rela- • tions at Columbia University Teach- j ers College. Dr. Monroe assailed American tariff policies as backward. He said under the present system the length of woman's skirts in America might easily determine whether or not China could finance a revolution. The sudden popularity of bobbed hair, he said, reduced a certain prosperous area in China to deso lation because hair nets were no longer necessary. Dr. Miller told the superintend ents their current system of edu cation l,eave|s every »generation through which it passes in "almost stark ignorance of economic and related political issues." "Only by a new education," he said, "with scrupulous honesty and potiragvs in facing and analyzing the vital facts of the living pres ent, can we bring permanent pros perity. j Would Scrap Culture. "Instead of teaching our chil dren to grapple with present and! future reality we continue to train i them to believe that a smattering | of Latin and Spanish, and algebra j ; and , silence will help them to earn la living; that, our country is right! .and never wrong; that the acquisi- i tion of great wealth is highly de- j sirable; that current economic and! political questions are things which schools must: leave alone. "We continue to train our chil dren to believe," he said, "that the schools should do nothing to help create a better order in which to ! live: that periodic starvation of millions in the midst of plenty isi inevitable. "If the American high school can do no better, than this it is a matter of small consequence whether it is financed or not." The depression and how it came about is infinitely more important, declared Dr. Miller, than the fact that all Gaul Svas divided into three parts, the number of wives of Henry the eighth or the tracing jof the campaigns of Charlemagne. ! He denied that higher education Ms any direct relationship with declaring that "even there ISSUES TORM THE FOREST rrTY (N. C.) COURIER year. E. M.

The Young Tar Heel Farmers had 'their first meeting Wednesday, No i i vember 4th, and rendered a very i interesting program. A willingness j on the part of each on the program jto do considerable hard work in ' getting- up and delivering their part of the program was very cncourag ! ing. A program has been selected ' for December 2nd and posted on the first floor on the bulletin "board and on the third floor in the agriculture room. This program should prove to ! be very educational as well as en- j certaining. Probably the most inter-! esting thing about the meeting Nov. 4th was the passing on and adopting the following objectives for our or ganization to carry out. They are: First, Father and Son Banquet. Sec ond, White Lake Trip during the summer. Third, To help keep the building clean and to cooperate in beautifying the school grounds. Fourth, To co-operate at all times with the school officials and stu dents in maintaining a good name for the Forest City school. Fifth, To keep accurate records on all pro jects under supervision of the agri culture Sixth, To assist in carrying out "Live-at-Home" pro gram. Seventh, To take part in judging, speaking and written con tests held for the purpose of Young Tar Heel Farmers. Eighth, To make our organization one of the best in the State of its kind. Ninth, To prac tice business farming and Ireceive the awards offered for such. We believe that to be capable of analyzing our problems on the farm will require straight thinking and in order to do that kind of thinking means a lot of work, so with the ample bulk of information that we have '.in our department we are taking on a new line of en thusiasm, and an, optimistic atti tude toward the out-look for the ; future farmers. i i "RULING VOICE" CAST ALL ARE MASTERS OF OTHER PROFESSIONS There is an array of unsuspected talent in the fine cast of "The Rul ing Voice," the First National pic ture which qomes to the Romina I Theatre, Monday and Tuesday, Nov 16th and 17th.
