?'Overcrowding and lack ol
competent teactiers; one-party

"Not enough vocational edu

Fresh Air
Necessary In Growing
YcMng Turkeys
Since poults need more ven
tilation during hot weather
than they ao during the cool- i
er spring season, turkey produc
ers should make certain that
enough fresh air is provided for
their young birds, advises
W. Herrick, Jr., extension turk
ey specialist at biate couege. i
This point is particularly im- {
portant because many older
poults are still in n^a^es anu
many more June pouils are be
? ifig started this year than last,
Mr. Herrick said.
The "nose test" will general
ly reveal whether more fresh
air is needed, the specialist said. |
When ihe air in the brooder >
house smells clean avid fresh,
there is ample ventilation; but
If an odor is noticed, more ven
; tilation is needed. If the oaoi

, would be well tor school exe
cutive of state to look Why |
our auditorium is used as a
theater." ,
"School buildings not aue- I
! quate for attendance; not safe
in this part of the state,"
j "Our Bible is not taught; it 1
; has everything. The Lord giveth
wisdom."
r "Untrained teachers, politics, I

health laws."
"Too many nervous house
wives for teachers; politics; and
' non-interested officials."
''Poor facilities; poor roads;
[ poor Democratic boards of edu
cation."
I "The rapidly disappearing re
. spect for teachers and schools,
' for knowledge, for its own sake;
a widespread misconception of
what education Is, and what it
. is for; centralization of control
' in Raleigh; the political set-up,
whereby education? not a party
matter? is controlled by one
r party, and whereby there is a
