HERBERT HOOVER SAYS-
Avoid Reckless Spe dilation and Pros
perity Will Continue
Editor'll Note: Prosperity still is
the prevailing note in American busi
ness, notwithstanding receht flurries
in Wail Street. Herbert Hoover, sec
retary of Commerce and the nation's
leading authority on business condi
tions, himself declares this in gn ex
clusive statement for NEA Service
and The Tribune, Tilings may have
looked a bit skittish recently when
the bottom fell out of the bull move
ment in the stock market, and when
there were two days in succession
when more than 3,000,000 shares were
sold on the New York exchange.
Secretary Hoover the morning after
this jolt was quoted as saying, reas
suringly, ‘•Conditions are flue. I see
no reason why there should not be a
continuance of production on the pres
ent basis.”
Now the secretary expands this o((in
ion, gives the reasons for his faith and
delivers a short but carefully coiisid
cred message of confidence which will
be of satisfactory interest to every
American.

BY HERBERT HOOVER
Secretary of Commerce
Nothing /has occurred during the
first ten weeks of 1926 to cluinge the
favorable outlook for American busi
ness which appeared at the beginning
f the year.
Everything indicates that if we can
avoid reckless optimism and specula
tion the high level of prosperity will
continue. I
Curing tile last three yeitrs the (>eo
ple of (he i nit oil States have produc
ed and consumed more per capita than
ever before.
This has been due largely to funda
mental forces which seem bound to
continue! —the cumulative effect of ed
ucijtion, scientific research, experi
ence in production and marketing, the
elimination of waste, and the increase
of capital.
Except in ports of the agricultural
industry, the textile industry, and
some lesser industrial fields we have
the highest degree of prosperity in our
history.
I believe it is biased upon real sta
bility, and therefore it should continue,
ami the delinquent trades should tend
to improve.

Recommends Eight Months Schools.
Raleigh, N. C., April '3.—GW—
The North Carolina General Assem
bly of 1827 will be asked to call an
election on a. constitutional amend
ment to increase the minimum school
term in North Carolina from six to
eight months, if the recommendations
of the legislative committee of the
Xorth Carolina Education Association
are followed.
The committee, whose report was
made today to (he association in ses
sion here, also recommends that the
next General Assembly be asked to
provide the funds for the erection of
at least five more normal schools in
North Carolina, to provide means of
securing more trained teachers for.the
state.
“Practically every -problem with
which we are confronted in educa
tion today will be largely solved by a
longer school term and better trained
teachers,” the report declares. “We
therefore recommend to the Delegate
Assembly of the North Carolina Eru
cation Association that at itß March.
1926, meeting it provide the author
ity, through necessary action of this
Assembly, to place those major legis
lative problems before the governing
powers of the State, and before the
1927 session of the Legislature.”
The report quotes school term and
enrollment figures for the city and
rural schools to show that 47 per cent,
of all children in rural schools do not
have.school advantages that every nor
mal child should have. Taking the
state ns a whole, only 59,6 per cent,
of all white children have a school
term that every educational authori
ty. all experience and common sense
indicate is necessary for the normal
development of the average child. This
is putting .eur best foot forward, for
all figures relate to white schools on
ly. If the negro schools are consid
ered. the showing is very much worse.”
The -report continues:
The shortness of the ten?) is by no
means the only discrimination the
great State of North Carolina is per
muting in its efforts to educate these
219,000 children in the country dis
tricts. BUt the short term is the
basis of all discrimination against
them. They are taught by the poor
est traiued teachers who work in the
State. It is impossible, to get a
trained teacher to go into a six
months school. The trained teacher
has spent money and time in prepara
tion, and can not afford to work just
half the time, when living expenses
continue the year through. -Thnt is
not all. These children—nearly a
quarter million white country .boys and
girls—are uot only taught by the
most poorly trained teachers in the
shortest term schools, but they arc
housed in buildings tliat are no cred
it to a State that can buy 171 million
dollars worth of automobiles in one
year’s time. In addittion to the in
adequate and uncomfortable buildings,
these poorly trained teachers, who
need all the teaching helps possible,
have little or no equipment or tools
with which to do their work.
“An analysis of the results of this
policy reveals an appalling situation.
A normal child, making a grade a
year, will complete the elementary
school in seven years, of 6 months.
He should be 13 years old when lie is
in the seventh grade, provided of

TONDON, March—London to
. JLr day is not the 'London it
was .before the War, and yet it
has a good many advantages
over ‘‘the good old days.”
Society is made up of a more
democratic element; some of the
old English families are falling
into abeyance; titles are dying
out; and yet all the time new
blood is being brought intp the
peerage.
Customs are changing, too;
large country houses are disap
pearing fast; likewise the Lon
don mansion. Apartments in
town, cottages or bungalows in
the equntry are the mile.
But while old customs are
passing .there is a «rsze for the
collecting of antiques. The Wil
liam and Mary and Queen Anyi
period furniture is again in
fashion. . ,
There is still another taste in
the collection of armorial china
of the eighteenth conTury! Old
families are scouring the. coun
try to get together sufficient
pieces to decorate the dinner
table or display as objects of art.
Turning to the sartorial side,
which, in my capacity of style
observer for Hart Schaffner &
Marx and a number of Ameri-;
can newspapers, is my chief in
terest, we find the revival of
fashions of the days of Beau
Bnunmell by men who are de

course, his teachers are trained so
that this factor of poor teachers does
not enter as a retarding factor. If
these quarter of • million children in
six months schools were taught by
well trained teaohers. equipped witli
the fundamental tools of instruction,
such as maps, charts, globes, and some
library books, and if they did not for
get during the six months vacation,
much of what was learned in jthe six
months .school, it Wpuld take them 9
1-4. years to eomplete (the elementary
grades. Such a child would then be
lS'l-3 years old instead of 13.
‘‘These ideal conditions, however,
are sadly lacking. We sincerely be
lieve, out of abundant experience in
school work, that the poor training of
the teacher and the pitiful laek of
equipment and good working condi
tions will account for at least one
month’s yearly less to the average
child. -He will then get but the equiv
alent of five months schooling a year.
T'nder these conditions it would take
the average child 11 . years to get
through the seventh grade. By that
time be would be 17 years old.
“The average child in the rural dis
tricts, of course, does not complete
the grammar grades. Long before he
ean complete these grades he has be
come discouraged at the progress
made and has dropped out of school
altogether. The trnth of this state
ment is evidenced in the high school
enrollment of children from the coun
try districts."
The argument that the average
farmer would not send his children
to school longer than six months, even
if the longer term were provided, is
answered, the report asserts, by the
over-crowded conditions of the con
solidated schools, most of which are
running the longer term.
The expresses the opin
ion in its report that “nothing short
of this constitutional amendment (for
an eight months minimum term) will
solve the problem in a manner (hat
will be equitable to all sections of the
State.”
The report then quotes figures with
reference to the qualification of teach
ers, the figures tending to show that
the preponderance of poorly trained
teachers are in the rural schools, and
that the demand for about 2,000 new
teachers annually is being met by the
present normal schools with about 200
each year.
“Your legislative committee,” the
report concludes, “believes that the
combination of a longer school term
with better trained teachers in all
schools will, within a reasonably short
tmo, save more than the total cost of
both the increased term and the cap
ital outlay necessary for the building
of a number of new normal schools.
For this reason the committee urges
the Delegate Assembly to ask the 1927
session of the Legislature to provide
funds for the erection of at least five
more normal schools in North Caro
lina. The building of these normal
schools should la-gill as early as possi
ble. The location should be at stra
tegic jioints, where the best interests
of the state will be served and where
practice-teaching can be provided. The
appropriation should be sufficient to
provide adequate accommodations and
thorough teaching for at least 2,000
additional students.”

why should the solons deny him that
pleasure? Why put a riieekrcin on
a willing fighter anyhow? Hard
enough to find one like Paulie with
out trying to make him a slacker
against his will.
If Paulie does not belong with the
big boys, why not let him find that
out for himself? A stiff sock on the
lug is a convincing argument, and if
Paulie collects enough of them he will
learn to curb his ambition and not
try to take in so much territory.
Solons seems to be letting their
rules run away with their judgment.
Are getting so bound around with red
tape they can’t move. The idea back
of this weight-making role for champs
was a good one, but it is being car
ried altogether too far.
How About It?
Time is rapidly approaching when
the solons will have to pass on a

Reds.

if there is going to be anything big
in the heavyweight line it is time to
clear the way for it.
Tex Rickard, who recently returned
from a jaunt to Chicago, had a few
words to- say yesterday. From the
way Texas spoke he is very doubtful
about Dempsey. Thinks the champ is
all washed up and through with the
box-fighting racket.
If Texas can induce the boxing
fathers to agree with him that Demp
sey has socked his last chin, the mo
guls will take steps to rearrange the
heavyweight situation. Their plan
for doing this was outlined in the
Mirror recently. It is to have Wills
