Get Ready for School
About thirty million children will have the privi
lege of entering school with the next few weeks.
The schoolhouses are already built. The transpor
tation equipment is ready for action. Books and
clothing are now the biggest things confronting this
great army of young people, the future masters of
every business and profession in our whole country.
it is one big job to train this vast number of peo
ple in such elements of honesty, truth, diligence, sob
erness, virtue, and wisdom as will produce the best
government and the greatest happiness for its people.
More of the Ten Commandments and less of the
right and left fields and quarterbacks would make a
great difference in the final outcome of our future
citizenship. Another thing we need to teach is mathe
matics, a thing we seem to be leaving out, perhaps be
cause it is hard.
In the science building at the "Century of Progress
Exposition" is written "Mathematics is the basis of
all science." Yet we fail to see much sign of mathe
matics in our modern school system. In our opinion,
that is one point that needs to be strengthened.
Another troublesome thing in our schools is the
book question. The publishers put books out on
commission. They generally get in late, a few weeks
after the schools start, and the schools have to run in
a helter-skelter way for some time, with half the pu
pils doing without books.
The stale would do a much better job if it would
buy the books outright, sell them at cost, and save a
lot of money; or, better still, furnish them free to all.
Another thing the schools need to do is have a pro
gram of more work and less play. By such a course
we will raise better citizens and a generation thai will
be nearer self-supporting.
Why Discard Judgment?
The NUIION'S Business.
W. O'Neil, head of the General Tire and Rubber
Company, recently expressed his conviction that in
dustry is not entirely a young min's job. Experience
and mature judgment have their place in the manu
facture and distribution of the nation's commodities
as well as youthful initiative, enterprise and energy,
he believes.
"In this fast moving age, there has developed a
theory that men more than 40 should be thrown into
the discard, but, in our organization, we have a num
ber of men more than 60 who are doing real jobs," Mr.
O'Neill says. "While we do not make a practice of
hiring old men, we certainly have no age limit on
keeping them.
"Bricks and mortar don't make a plant—neither do
chemistry and engineering—it takes men to make a
plant. Men must feel safe in their jobs, sure of their
jobs. If the only future they could look forward to
was that, when they reached a certain age, they would
be thrown into the discard, they could not do their
bttt work. We must recognize the capabilities and
advantages of age and experience.''
Industry is neither a young man's job nor an old
man's job. Both have their places pnd each needs
the other.
Disappointing Prices
The opening prices for tobacco on the Eastern
Carolina markets have been very disappointing so
Good quality lugs have been reported at nearly
apery point, yet the average has been only about 10 to
11 cents. With very few piles going under S cents,
i! is cvidtat that the better grades which dominate
this year are going entirely too low.
Tobacco fanners will not be able to buy very
much goods under the NRA prices unless there is a
considerable rise in prices'.
Slowing Up

slower. We will all like it better.

Your Responsibility
There are two great tragedies of fire.
First is the fact that 80 per cent or more of all fires,
large or small, are entirely unnecessary and could
easily he prevented.
Second, in a great many fires, damage is much larg
er than it should be, because of failure of fire-fighting
to handle the blaze quickly and efficiently.
The first problem is largely up to the individual.
The community can pass good building codes and en
force inspections of property —but these will be suc
cessful to only a small degree without public interesi
and cooperation Fires arising from misuse of heat
ing plants, from the careless disposal of waste mat
ter, from inferior wiring, cauie damage to the extent
of millions a year. Every one of these fires could be
prevented if the property owner would go to the small
trouble and expense necessary .to assure safety.
Make no mistake —the prevention and quenching of
fire isa matter that touches the lives and pocketbooks
ol us all. For many years America has led the world
in this waste —an unenviable record. It is time for
the influence of the citizen to be felt.
Are you, Mr. Citizen, going to be in any way re
sponsible fur your next local fire tragedy?
Stabilizing the Monetary System
The question of the value of *the : dollar is always
agitating the public mind.
England had sufficient intelligence last year to know
that a high-priced dollar was making every other price
low. I'he United States caught the vision only a few
months ago and brought dowq, the price of the dollar
and raised the price of a pound of cotton.
Now, the French people find the high-priced franc
is hurting her business, and she will soon have to fol
low the United States and Great Britain.
Since the whole world is trading with the whole
world, and most of the folks have learned too much
to be easily robbed all the time, it is highly important
to stabilize the basic prices of money the world over.
The Question of Profits
The question of profits is one of the stumbling
blocks in business. Many people seem to cling to the
idea that the 1919 profit basis—the year in which
anybody could get rich in a few months—should pre
vail in these days. It just cannot be done.
The sooner we set our goal to take our whole life
time to make our fortune the better it will be for us.
It is about time for us to learn that overspeeding
automobiles cause the most wrecks. And overspeed
ing our fortune building is also very dangerous. It
causes disgrace, disappointment, and, too often, de
struction.
Let us learn that a fair living, honestly acquired,
is doing well, and is about as much as we need to
expect.
The days of building up big fortunes overnight
will not be with us again for some time.
To End Crime Is Impossible
AM this talk of a national police force to end crime
sounds rather foolish. If we should say "for the pur
pose of suppressing crime," it would have more color
of the truth.
When we recall that there was a murder in the first
family, we may as well acknowledge the power of the
devil as the author of crime. So we need not expect
safety from all this police talk to the extent of throw
ing away the smokehouse keys and letting every
passing fellow hold our pocketbooks. The same devil
is here.
The wet brigade has told us the country could not
enforce its laws, and they were the very fellows who
did not want the law enforced. Now they suggest the
stopping of crime.
We may help things, but we cannot hope to elimi
nate crime as long as there is an element of selfish
ness among us.
The Only Way Out
Remember—the NRA route is the only way out.
Join now and take up the small details for adjust
ment later.
Only one principle is involved. And that is that
every human being is to helped.
If your particular line of business will not stand
the terms of the agreement or codes, you may be
able to get temporary adjustments until you can swing
into the full operation of the code governing your par
ticular line.
Remember—Hutting more folks to work, within
the hour regulations and pay scales outlined is all
we have to do.
When you cut your hours of doing business in or
der to keep from putting on more help, you are dodg
ing the important point. The laborer must be paid,
or he cannot trade.
We all need to swing into line quickly.
Forbid Cotton Futures Gambling
Senator Thomas charges the International Market
Forecast bureau with depressing the price of cotton.
Mr.- McGuigan denies the charge, saying he simply
advises his clients; that is, that he makes them "wise"
gamblers.
The thing Senator Thomas should do is to secure
the passage of a law through Congress forbidding
Mr. McGuigan, and every other man or company of
men, from organizing gambling pools to bet that cot
ton will be, or will not be, a certain price by Christ
mas or by the 4th of July. j '
This principle of futures gambling is the means
by which many billions of dollars are spent and the
cotton crop bought and sold many timet each year,
and not a bale delivered, or even seen. And it is a
practice that has caused the cotton farmer the loss
of many millions of dollars every year.
