THE VALVE OF OVR SCHOOL
.... PROPERTY
In1« all school property : n
. North Carolina was valued at $3,182.-
918. Twenty years later, 1924-25. all
school property was valued at $70,-
706,835, an average increase of over
three million dollars each year.
These and other facts relative to
the value of school ho uses and school
K property are contained in the March
issue of State School Facts.
According to the figures Concord
ranks well with other towns in the (
same group. This city ranks second
in the group with Gastonia, New Bern
Elizabeth City. Kinston, Wilson.
Salisbury. Rocky Mount, Goldsboro
and Henderson. The number of school
houses for white children in the city
is given as five, their value $600.(100.
and the average value per child en
rolled $278.29. Gastonia ranks first
in the group with property valued at
$1*125.000 and a per student average
of $291.98.
In the county we find Cabarrus
ranks 51st in the State in the value
per child of school houses for white
%. children and 23rd in the value per
child of school house# for colored chil
dren. The county had 54 houses,
valued at $391,675, a per child average
of $75.77. There are 24 colored
wjjools, valued at $38,900 a per child
average of $25.24.
H During the school year 1924-25
there were 7,096 sohoolhouses in which
809.834 school children of the State
were housed. In 1904-05 there were
7,376 schoolhouses for 474.111 school
children. These figures show a d«*-
crease of 280 schoolhouses and an in
f Crease of 335,723 school children en
rolled in schools during the twenty-
5; year period.
||. jTntil 1919-20 the increase in value
of school property was steady, about
a ft ; llion each year. During that year
>/' tha value of school property Increased
from 16 million dollars to 24 million
£ dollars. The following year the total
p value of school property stood at 28,
35 t 49, 60, ami now 70 million dollars.
I The average annual increase for the
five years has been nearly 11 mil
s lion dollars.
| The value of property per rural
'■& white child was $4.79 in 1904-05 and |
| $81.34 n 1924-25, an increase of]
about 1608 iier cent in 20 ycurs. The
S ; average wh o- child has increased
fe from $37.61 hi 1904-05 to $211.04 in
■j" 1924-25. At present, therefore, the
g§» .average value of school property for
g each white child in the city is two and
P one-half times greater than for each
ite'’ rural white child. The amount of
B ,/pfbpert.v for eacli rural white eliild
BL baa not yet. reached the amount that
K each city white child had in 1919-20.
|; i Tbe same dispart}- may be found
|f between the rural and city child of
K the colored race. There has been an
|C inafease in the average am uni iu-j
I vested in school property for each!
5 child, but the colored city child has
fnr times as much as the rural
colored child Invested in school pro
perty. The. rural colored child does
not have quite as much Invested at
present as the city colored child had
in 1914-15, ten years ago.
The average value of a schoolhouse
for white children in the rural dis
tricts is about SB,OOO. On the other
hand, the average value of a school
house for white children in the city
schools is $86,000, more than 10
times greater than for the rural white
children. The rural child had a
schoolhouse worth an average of $278
in 1904-05, while that year the city
child had a schoolhouse with an aver
age value of $12,703. After 20 years
the white rural child deed not have
a schoolhouse the average value of the
city child in 1904-05.
Like conditions exist between the
value of schoolhouses in the rural and
City schoolhouse in the colored raCe.
A schoolhouse belonging to the col
ored people in the rural systems was
valued at $124 in 1904-05 and $1,420
in 1924-25, On the other hand, a
schoolhouse belonging to the colored
people of the city schools was valued
at $3,134 in 1904-05 and $23,538 in
1924-25. In other words the average
value of a schoolhouse for the colored
race in the rural schools during 1924-
25 is not half the average value of a
schoolhouse for the colored race in
the city schools in 1904-05.
FARM WAGES SHOW GAIN
The average wages which far
mers pay their labor has advanced
only slightly : n the past year, accord
ing to announcement by the United
States Department of Agriculture.
Farm wages for the country as a
whole in 1925 stood 68 per cent above
the average for thj year 1910-14. In
1924 ami in 1923 the average was 66
per cent above the pre-war average,
and in 1922 it was 46 per cent above
pre-war.
Thus from 1922 to 1923 wages of
farm workers made a considerable ad
vance but since that time the advance
has not been great.
Farm wages have not advarced
nearly us fast as the wages paid labor
in other lines. The average wages of
industrial workers, according to the
Department of Labor, now is more
than double the pre-war level.
Washington correspondents know
pretty well what is going on in the
gapitai and what is likley to go on.
None of them, so far as we haw teen
able to learn, thinks the prohibition
law will be changed. One man says
liquor has more public enemies and
private friends than anything "lse in
the’world. That may cover the case
exactly. People are not going to the
polls and vote for liquor. They 1-now
that modification would only lead to
further modification, with the hor
rors of the barroom coming back even

FORECAST DISEASE
LIKE THE WEATHER
Illinois Establishes Health Observa
tories to Warn of Epidemics.
Charlotte Observer.
"Health observatories." from which
forecasts of approaching epidemics
will be sent out, have been estab
lished in the forty-fottr largest cities
of Illinois by Dr. Isaac D. Rawlings.
State health director, who adapted
the idea from the government weath
er bureau.
Each station, says the April Popu
lar Science Monthly, is supplied with
a weekly statement showing the num
ber and location of ail reported cases
of contagious disease in its territory.
With this information. the local
health officer can determine the dang
er and take steps to overcome it.
Epidemics are no longer mysterious
outbursts that spring out of nowhere
and disappear just a* suddenly. Dr.
Rawlings declares, in announcing the
opening of these observatories; they
are recurrent disturbances like the
weather changes, that can be predict
ed with reasonable accuracy, Ily the
interpretation of carefully gathered
statistics and by following the path
of the disease, he asserts, it is pos
sible to make an almost perfect fore
cast. which is of the greatest service
in aiding preventive medical work.
On this principle Dr. Herman
Bundesen, Chicago health official, has
compiled a unique chart by which
he claims he is able to predict with
certainty the nearness and intensity
of any epidemic.
SELFISHNESS GREAT
SIN OF I)I’NN FOLKS
Poll Recently Conducted by Minister
Products Interesting Results.
Dfmn, March 13.—Selfishness was’
voted as the outstanding sin among
the Daun people by the people of the
town in a recent poll conducted by
Rev. Elbert N. Johnson, pastor of the
First Baptist Church. Twenty-six
per cent, of those voting named “sel-|
fishness’’ as the worst sin. Other!
sins named in their order were: Neg
lect- of parental duties, 20 per cent.;
gogsip, 16 per cent. ;Oinbflief. ten per
cent.: hypocrisy, six per cent., and
all others, about 30 per cent.
In a sermon on the subject. “Bel-
I fishness," Rev. Mr. Johnson stated
| that he agreed with the majority vote
j and traced all the other sins named
to selfishness. The poll was taken
during a series of special Sunday ove
. liing sermons preached by Mr. John
. son during the past five weeks.

“LEARN BY DOING” |
1
This Is the Fundamental Principle
Underlying the Program qt Educa-,
tVon. I
Raleigh, March ll.—(#9—The fun-,
damental principle underlying the!
program of education is “learn by do- j
ing," according to T. E. Browne, su
■ perintendent of vocational education j
of the State department of public in-,
i struction. This principle is empha-'
, siaed in the training of teachm of
agriculture at State ’College, Mr. i
I Browne s#ys- I
v The nineteen seniors in agricultur
al education, toe explains, who have
recently returned to the college, after
i spending three weeks in the various |
high schools of the state, teaching j
classes in agriculture and observing I
the work of other teachers, are now
spending a part of their class time
reportinging on ttoeir experience*- and
observations These men, in the pres
ence of. the' instructors who visited
them while they were in the field,
make a report of their own teaching,
as well as reporting on v what they
saw.
There is free discussion and criti-'
cism. says Mr. Browne, directed by
the instructor in charge, based upon
notes taken on the man's teaching j
when he was visited.
The work of this second term in ]
the senior year of these prospective;
teachers contributes very largely to j
their successes when they go on the j
job. Mr. Browne believes. In addi
tion. it is of value in enabling the de
partment of vocational education to
check lip on the men and find some
of their weak points. The last term
of the senior year can then be uti
lized in endeavoring to smooth off
some of the rough corners, and
strengthen the men where they are
found weak, Mr. Browne poiyts out. j
The program of vocational agricul
tural education in North Carolina in
volves four distinct activities: the
day school work in the high school;
the short unit courses in outlying
school districts; ttoe part-time in-!
struction for the older boys of the j
district who have stopped school and
gone to work on the farm ; and the
evening class work for adult farm- J
ers.
These student teachers are being
urged to observe all these activities
and. when practical, to participate.
Some of ttoe best evening class work
beipg done in the state is fiat at
('ary high school, Mr. Browne says. j
Recently six members of the se
nior class in agricultural education '
were taken to Cary to observe Mr. i
Meekins teach a lesson on “poultry
discuses” to a class of ten men and
women of the community who are
carrying on poultry projects.

CHAPTER XVIII. (Continued)
| Branfion had arranged with her
tor the visit, that day, to Eggles
ton at his home on the Avenue.
They planned for Joanna to plek
Brandon up at his own office In a
downtown skyscraper, and drive
him, in her new and smart cabrio
let, to the Eggleston mansion. This
appointment had been for one
o'clock, as they were to luach
with the banker. The cabriolet,
with his chauffeur ia gray that
I matched the silken loveliness with
in, drew up In front ot Yvonne's
shortly after eleven. Joanna, soft
and graceful and elegant in beauti
ful fox trimmed mole, a little black
hat pulled down over her eyes, afid
carrying a pliant swagger stick in
her band, tripped tightly down the
.steps and into her car. Martha
had turned her out quickly to make
it possible for her to meet her car
so soon after eleven. Yet there was
nothing of drowsiness In her face
or her eyes. She was alert, vi
brant, and confident of the su
preme perfections of her appear
ance.
She made her driver put hts head
Inside the door while she gave him
Instructions —orders that seemed
explanation and repetition.
The car did not go down the
i Avenue in the swiftly moving pan
orama of other smart cabriolets,
toward the office building where
Brandon, later would be watting
for her. Instead it turned Into one
ot the drab streets, also avenues
but only In name, and moved swift
ly between the pillars of the ele
vated railroad into neighborhoods
most visited by delivery and
freight vans. It came at lait to a
cross street which pierced a dis
trict of tenements of the better
1 grade-old dwellings made Into fur
; nished rooms and cramped house
i flats-: much the kind qf
| homes as that which had befen
i Joanna's, at Mrs. Adams'.
The chauffeur scanned the house
| numbers, many of which were bid
! den. Joanna gave hint more direc
' tlons through her speaking tube.
I He stopped just beyond a_ corner
I and opened the cabriolet dbcir.
i “It is the fourth house from hare,
j an this side,” Joanna exolaitiert.
I “You will recognize it by the sJjlsn
l at the aide of the door. It reads.
I ’John tvilffiofe. architect-’ There’ll
be an old woman with a rag tied
around her head come to the dear

you’d better stick this bill in her

Then she’ll tell you If Mr. Wilmore
Is in. If he is give her another bill
and tell her to keep her mouth
ihut about the inquiry. If he isn’t
tell her tbat I’m coming in to talk
to her."
CHAPTER XIX
A Visit to John's Quarters
From her silken cushions in the
sabriblet Joanna waited impatient
ly until her chauffeur. aTter a brief
parley at the door of the house to
which she had sent him. returned.
Tfie man taid:
“The woman came. She says
Mr. Wilmore Is not at home."
“Then you may wait for me
here.”
A half score of street urchins al
ready had gathered about the
smartly shining cabriolet, its dull
gray shades carried from its dainty
fittings to the satin sheen of its
expensive hood. Such an imposing
> j car seldom Invaded that neighbor
hood and its placid company of
I ghosts Os the dsys when the streets
of the great metropolis were
streets ot home and not mere
sleeping quarters.
The slfta, elergant figure that few
patrons of a silk counter would
have recognized, smiled at the
erchlns, pushed through them, and
entered, dazzling. Into the depths
of the house where John had found
tor himself a tiny sleeping room
end soother, a larger one. with the
precious north light, which he
could turn into his own workroom.
During the days John served at
hie apprenticeship with the firm
of architects who provided him hU
necessary training. His talents
wets recognized. A bright future
was predicted for him. But. so
far, John’s returns had been in
deed rteager— as Is the usual con
dition of the student of a difficult
profession If. at times. Foreman.
Van Brett A Craig were dubious
of their young John Wilmore. it
was because be was inclined to be
a dreamer That I*, they, hts
tutors and employers, were of the
mind that was much too eager to
eklp inch fund amen tils as the
proper angle ot a drain pipe
and contemplate monumental har
monies. 4
Perhaps John would have agreec
with the wiser beads that guided
him throughyhls student possibili
ties. Perhaps that was why he
confined his dreaming, as far as
possible, to bis one large room,
and worked th#rp*over his draw
as&sSl'ws“K

etrl with the swagger stick Inside
were she not so frankly frewsy,
a replica of Mrs. Adame. She
once had been on the siege. Tbe
flood gates of her wondrous memo
ries were ever at tbe point ot fitt
ing. Between her afld “John's

forever when Joanna, who eh mure
than one occasion sat through an
evening with John In his work
room, trying as best she could to
fathom the thlngk he.talked about,
made her come In sod recount the
triumphs ot old with Its curtain
calls and Its jealousies and mar
velous romances. Joanna admitted
to John, at that ttmo. that she
would much rather hear his land
lady’s monologue than listen to
him rave about gargoyles and Such
musty things.
The latfdlhdy was convincingly
dramatic When she identified
“John’s girl" ia the rsdlant vision
which smiled so sweetly at bar.
There was, even, thrilling drama
in her elaborate service to the Code
that "asks no questions and gets
no snubbing.” She measure* Jo
anna from smart little hat to
smart, sapphlre-buttqnsd spades,
and reached her oWp conclusions
over the Swagger stick. -bitt she

been doing much work of late, it
seems, because he's seemed kin#
of restless like.”
For some mysterious reason ’he
landlady’s gaze rested on' the sap
phire slipper buckles, as if the
depths ot them contained the ex
planation of her lodger’s sudden
i idleness.
"1 know that Mr. John will have
nothing to say about tbe likes of
yon paying his rooms a visit when
ever you wants.”
“Bot that is what you must help
me about," Joanna announced- “I
don’t want him to know that I have
bSen here. You must make a little
plot with me not to tell him. If
you say that you won’t. 1 know I
may trust you.”
As to this the landlady was not
at all sure. Her watery, shrewd
eyes narrowed a Utile and ap
praised the face of tbe girl who.
plainty. wasn’t “John’s girl" any
more.
“Well, now.” she temporized, "as
to that. Miss, I’ll have to think a
bit. A man’s house is hts castle,

Joanna had listened patiently.
“But it will be all fight," she pro

She gave tbe landlady the Tull ben

Joanna opened her handbag and
added, to the bills which already
crumpled in the landlady’s Hand,
left there by the chauffeur, a mffch
larger one. Then she tripped
uff the stalr« to the door through
which Johff' had delighted, hj the

her forehead. She crossed the
room to a huge chest of drawers
in which John kept his papers,
great Bheets of blue print, plans,
and tracings.
As If she well knew-the contents
of those drawers Joanna plunged
her gray gloved fingers directly In
among a sheaf of papera In a mid
dle drawer. When .she brought
them out they brought also a big
blue square on which there Were
lines and diagrams in a confusion
that many times had wearied her
eyes. There were other sheet*
that were similarly marred, as 11
they ware duplicates on which in
flnltesimal alterations had been
made. Joanna had chosen one ol
them, seemingly at random, and
appeared to be satisfied,
Ruthlessly, careless of her dead
ly affront to the smoothness of an
architect’s drawihg, she folded the
bine print into a minute square and
thrust it, crumpled, into her bag,
X|en she turned back to the door.
Just for a moment she stopped
and dropped Into a corner of the
Bfffa. She palled her legs uhder
her and curled up. She patted a
place In a cushion and rested her
elbow In It and propped her head
bit her hand. And as If she were
talking to someone who sat or
stood In front of 'the drawing

mured. softly:
“John dear, you're such a tire
some old thing! 1 can’t get all

lose me?" ,
When she had said this out into
the empty room she got up fronu
the sofa and went swiftly ont, clos

The landlady hovered about In
the hall Joanna nodded to her
and said, .“I found what\l wanted.
