In all tbv wavs "acknowledge him. and he shall .‘direct ; thy jiaths,—Prov. 3:5, 15. __ .. • ■ J~ ; #ANT MOST MOST DIRECT ROAD. "'*- A uumlier of citizens of Xo. 10 town ship have been in this office recently, and each of them has expressed favor With our opinion that the Cabarrus County' road* commission should build a road from the Cabarrus line to the Union line along the most direct route. This is the only logical way to build any road, we have maintained fronf the beginning, and though the road commission’s policy has not been an nounced we feel certain that when it is possible to do so. it will construct its roads along the most feasible routes, in the straightest possible line at the least eost, regardless of wheth er or not the roads cross or run close to the farm of every farmer in the community. The road to Xo. 10 has lieen badly needed for several years, but hereto fore it has been imjiossible to get the people of that township agreed on a route, and as a result nothing has lieen done. IVe hope the commission will make the building of this road one of its first moves, and that it will put the road where the engineers say it should go, regardless of whose land it crosses or does not cross. The mon ey to be spent for the road comes from the pockets of the people and it is not right to spend the iieople’s money for a cireuitpus road that is built that way just Itecause every man in the township wants his land enhanced by the road. ANOTHER BILL FOR GERMANY. While Uncle Sam was a little slow in getting his hill ready for Germany, he has finally presented it. and the Germans now have something more than Reparations to talk about. Al though Uncle Sam was . not iin snch a l»ig hurry to get hte bill in. he is just as determined as the other nations to collect it. The biU is for *1.470,0HL313.92. Os course it will take some time to muke a settlement, for as The Charlotte Observer states “presenting a bill for this amount to a bankrupt nation is one thing; collecting it is another.'’ Included in the bill is an item for $22,606,000 on account of the Lusi- tania. Thomas A. Edison hus a hill in the total for .$10,422 worth of prop erty in Germany which was destroyed, anil Henry Ford wants to collect $376,- 000 for the same reason. One of the Hiijfftout items is $235,544,810 for main tenance of the American Army of oc cupation. In presenting the bill the United States makes it .plain that Germany is for this bill regard less of any terms of the Versailles •Treaty. In fact. Uncle Sam contends this bill is to be considered sepa rately from all other war bills, and Is not even included in the reparations jBOUey demanded of Germany. ffe Ur, W. P. McGlothlin, President of Turman University, this week declin ipa oJacimit. a $2,000 raise in salary of the school; the President declared he would not |Mscept a salary raise because he knew . Tarmp needed'the in many gyr more to the institution. And was made by Dr. Me- IGlothlin in spite of the' fact that he is I remaining in Greenville to direct the laffairs of Furman at a financial sac rifice, he having received several of fers last year from several colleges that pay more to their President than does Furman. This is a wonderful spirit and Furman iq/certain to continue to grow under the leadership of a man who puts service above money. TENDENCY to retain the SCHOOL SUPERINTENDENTS There Will Be the Usual Number of Changes Among the Teaching Force. Raleigh. X. C., Majr 23.—Reports reaching Raleigh indicate there is a general tendency of school boards to retain tjhe same superintendents in both cities and counties, according to th? Placement Bureau of the Teach ers' Association, which Has been watching out for changes in the ad ministrative side of the schools for an other year, .Inle B. Warren, Secretary,* announced today; For the most part few of the larger su]>erintendencies in the cities will make changes, Mr. War ren There are some new coun ty, superintendents due to the resigna tions of former suiierintendents. In Person county Rev. J, A. Beam, who has headed up the county schools for a number of years, has resigned, and. the county board elected his wife to succeed him. Mrs. Beam has lieen identified with the Person county schools for many years, and helped her husband in the administration of his office. In Columbus county, Superintend ent Harry A. Bowling has resigned and J. H. Mclver, former Superintend ent of the Asheboro city schools, has lieen elected to take his place. W. 11. McMahon, • last year principal (if one of the schdbWtn'the Durham city sys tem. has lieen elected to take Mr. Mc- Iver’s. place. Superintendent due R. Xixon, for a number of years Super intendent of the Edenton schools, lias resigned to go to Uherryville, and J. A.

B Spcas, of Forsyth countr, b ils r- ignert. but his p.ace has n< yet been filled, according to the last re ps rts. •While these hate been e^mimi:i live ly few changes in rh#‘administrative side of the schools, Mr. Walden State ! “indications are that there will be the usual number of changes among the teaching force. This conclusion is arrived at by the large number of re quests for teachers which have lieen coming to the office of the Ptnacement Bureau during the past few months. The requests for teachers is consider ed heavy for this season of the year, in fact there are more requests for teachers than tiler are teachers regis tered foY some Notices of vacancies are (j“ing sent to regis trants daily, but with the present reg istration It is difficult to secure as many teachers as the superintendents and school boards are looking for. “It rather early for registrations in lanre numbers, however, and new ones are coming to the Placement Bu reau Daily, so that it will lie possible to take care of practically all the tx>- sitions open. School boards needing principals of schools, and Superintend ents needing teachers are invited to use the service of the Placement Bu reau in aiding them in finding the kind of teachers and giffiool adminis trators they need. The service does not cost anything, but is conducted by the Teachers' Association as a part of its regular work.” JUNIOR AND SENIOR. From Gold and Black.
