AT THE CAPITAL OF BEULAH. Kenly State High School Opened Mon day. Fine Addrm* by Doctor Joy ner. Educational Co-operation II if* ?Subject. Hoys and Girls Ofl to Col lege. Kenly, Sept. 12. ? The State High School of Kenly was formerly opened Monday morning with a masterful ed ucational address by Doctor J. Y. Joy ner, State Superintendent of Public Instruction, and with an enrollment the first day of one hundred rnd fifty seven students, thirty-eight in the high school, and one hundred and nine teen in the elementary school. A magnificent audience of several hun dred citizens assembled in the school auditorium with their children to wit ness the opening exercises and to lis ten to the address of Doctor Joyner. Superintendent M. B. Andrews in introducing Doctor Joyner, character ized him as the father of the educa tional folk of North Carolina; after responding to the presentation, Doc tor Joyner spoke essentially as fol 1? it I "In all my experience as a speaker and educator this is the first time I have had the honor of being charac terized as the father of the school children of North Carolina; and yet, that is exactly what I am, and 1 am proud of it. I suppose there is not an other man in the whole common wealth who has as many children as I have. Five hundred thousand of them are while, and two hundred and forty thousand are hlack ? yes, the black children are mine, too, and 1 am proud of them. "It is my purpose this morning to speak to you as briefly and as prac tically as I may on a subject thut is very close to my heart because it deals with the large family of chil dren I have the privilege and honor of claiming as my own. My subject is 'Educational Co-operation,' and it naturally divided itself into three main divisions: co-operation in at tendance, co-operation in discipline, and co-operation in study. "There iB not a farmer in North j Carolina that would send his mule colt to his stisll repeatedly without food , and water. He realizes that such treatment would stunt the growth of his mule colt and that then fore he would lose money by so doing. Isn't | the child worth infinitely more than ( the mule or the cow or the horse? If your child and my child and every- ^ body els< 's child are to enjoy the blessings of education, our children must be cncouraged ? they must be< ^ forced if necessary to attend school t aB nearly every school day of the term as is possible. y "Moreover, if the child is sent to school, the parents of the child must j co-operate with the teachers of the school in bringing about good order. ( The greatest evil of that is gnawing at the vitals of democracy to-day is j the evil of disobedience. And I want ] to say that in nine hundred and ninety nine cases out of every thousand the ? outlawed anarchist is nothing more than a grown disobedient boy. The great old sage was right when he said, that if a child is trained properly in his youth he wlil not depart from that training after he reaches the stage of maturity. Stand by the teacher in maintaining proper discipline in the school room ? it will pay you a thou sand fold to do so. "It is not only necessary to send your chili', to school regularly and to co-operate with the teacher in main taining discipline, but it is just as necessary that you see to it that your child prepares his lessons daily. It is right and proper that children should be taught to work and to as sist their parents in the home, but it is neither right nor wise for parents to neglect their child's studies. Set apart a certain portion of the after noon or night and call it Btudy period. Have it understood that your child is not to be disturbed while he is about his studies, and have it understood that he must prepare bis lessons be fore he even goes to school next day. "The most accurate index of the quality pf the citizenship of a commu nity is to be found by observing the churches and the school houses in that community. This magnifioent building testifies to the fact that you people are a people of culture, refinement, and practical common sense. I urge you therefore to co-operate with the Faculty of this school in keeping with the suggestions I have made; it will pay you to do so; for I am confident ? I speak now as both parent and a teacher ? that the members of your Vacuity will co-operale with you UH'J your children in making this the kind of school it ought to be." Throughout his address Doctor Joy ner was most heartily applauded for the wisdom of his inspiring advice, and every one in the community was glad to have him with us to-day. While in the city Doctor Joyn?r was the guest of Doctor J. C. Grady, Secretary of the School Board. It is interesting to observe that Mrs. Grady and Doctor Joyner were one time ?chool-mates. The members of the school Facul ty arc proud indeed that such a large number of the excellent young people of the community are planning to at tend collegc this fall; the names of those who either already have left or are soon to go to goni'1 higher edu cational institution may be arranged as follows: Mr, L. Talmr.ge Edgerton, David son College; Mr. Hal Gilbreatfc, Guil ford College; Mr. Howard Grady, the University of Virginia; Mr. Dobbin Bailey, the Atlantic Christian College; Mr. Kyle Richardson, the Agricul tural and Engineering College; Messrs. Yiites Edgerton and Earl Southard, Trinity College; Miss Frances Hales, Elon College; Misses Inez Edgerton and Grace Jerome, the Greensboro College for Women; Miss H< ulah Bailey, Meredith Col legc; Miss Btrtha Edgerton, Floro MacDonald; Miss Ethel Morris, Lou isburg. Among those who are going out to teach are the following: Miss Gladys Jerome, Buck Horn; Miss Gladys Kir by, Red Springs High School, and Miss Agnes Hales. Mrs. W. M. Peacock, ?nd little daughter, Ruby Lee, of Fremont, are the guest? of Superintendent and Mrs. Andrews this week. Mrs. Pec cock is sister to Mr. Andrews. mill creek news. All of the Bcntonville readers of The Herald were disappointed in lust Friday's issue, it l**ing dels yed till Monday's mail. This section of the county has been visited by very heavy rains during the past few days. A revival is being: carried on th>s week at New Zealand Free Will Bap tist church. Rev. O. B. Garris is con ducting it. Messrs. Seth W. Lassiter, J. K. Weaver, O. B. and J. W. Langston took an excursion to Wilmington last Wednesday, returning Friday They made the trip through the country on an automobile and report n most pleasant trip. Mr. L. L. Cole happened to the mis fortune on Thursday of last week of having his hand badly mangled t>y an accidental discharge of a shot-gua. The wound was quickly dressed and is now doing nicely. Mr. Cole has been drafted to be a member of the new National Army, and it now looks like Uncle Sam will have to find a proxy Tor him. The vaccination campaign at Mill Sreek against typhoid fever was com peted by Dr. R. B. Wilson on Satur lay, September 8th. Dr. Wilson in 'orms us that some 140 persons took he vaccination. Prof. C. B. Thomas will begin on Wednesday of this week a music jchool at Mill Creek Christian church. Prof. Thomas is a very efficient teach er, and we bespeak a successful school for our community. Mr. ind Mrs. J. L. Jernigan, of New Hope section, spent Sunday in our midst. , . . Miss Jessie Jernigan is visiting in Smithfield this week. Mr. Addison Wiggs, of Kenly, was i visitor in our community last Sun lay. Mrs. J. J. Rose went to Fuquay Springs last Sunday, where she will spend a week or ten days recupera ting after a recent illness. Mr. L. A. Rose is in Benson now, a student of the Benson High School. Our Meadow neighbors are enjoy ing an excitement now that wo ot historic Bentonsville can not share; namely, an approaching election. They are soon to vote on a bond isssue for the Central Carolina railroad. We understand that they are much divid ed on the issue. Here's hoping they will get together and get the much needed road. We believe that good Mother Nat ure is now sorry she gave us such nice apple crop last spring. There is so much cider in the country now. From our viewpoint the whiskey-still of _0 years ago was but a little worse character than the cider-barrel of this momentous year, 1917. Bentonville, Sept. 10, 1917. Training In -France. The American soldiers in France are receiving intensive training in trench warfare, from French tried of ficers. The past few days has seen a change in trainers. The French chas seurs have given place to French in fantry who have just returned from the front where they were engaged in some of the hottest fighting of tho war. Wearing their battered helmets and mud-spattered clothes, the French soldiers are making an impression on the American soldier. These men just from the front are able to bring to Uncle Sam's men the latest informa tion on tronch warfare. A Card of Thanks. We desire to express our most sin cere thanks to the people of Smith field and all others who were so kind to us and :urs when ~ur son was so badly hurt by falling from a bicycle one day last week.
