Tuesday November 27, 1934 A Better Day The public schools seem to have awakened to a new sense of responsibility, and are a trout to enter into a new and better type of physical culture than has been the practice for a number of years. The teachers of the county, almost 90 attending, met in YVilliamston last week to study the great ques tions of how to train the child for health and char acter building. Miss Charlotte Hill, of the Atlantic Christian College physical culture detriment, led the discussion by giving the gcimal uutlinc of a program , that has been generally adopted in primary, gram mar and high schools and colleges in many sections of the country and found to be generally practiced and adequate. The main goal is to sec that every child gets plenty of healthful and pleasant exercise. She recommend ed group or team work as advantageous to train the child the value of cooperative teamwork, the import ance of obedience to the correct system of doing things, yet the importance of individual effort so that independence may be_ relied on in 'emergencies. The general outline of recommendations was little different from that practiced in the short-term schools during the latter |>art of the last century, when every activity known under the sun was practiced by every child in school except an occasional one too lazy or one suffering from hookworm. Of course, the play of this age gucs under different names front those of the old days. Certainly there is very litll# Vh*w under the sun when it comes to play. They sang and played to the rhythm of their songs, such as "Ring-Around the-Roses," and "Barbara Allen" in the old days quite as well as they do now. They jum|ted as high, ran as fast, threw the ball as far, loved as much, studied as hard, and learned as much?perhaps more, con sidering their chances in comparison with that offered by the schools of today. They had more freedom then than now. They were not bowed down by rules of society and binding laws which stifled their freedom and choked their activities. While we are enjoying a season of theories and ex penmentations, we have never been able, with all of our new equipment, to make the sun vary one iota in its journey, and we are still ruled by the same un erring laws of naturC that our fathers had to obey. So there is some consolation in viewing the situation and seeing the signs of an apparent disappointment in many of the false theories of man, and we are again willing to get our fet TiaCtT on the ground and assess the value of every child at its full worth, not picking out the few stars who can kick fast and stamp hard to give them all the attention and pushing those most in need of physical culture aside. Yes; the signs point to a better day and a more valuable service in our schools. Should Stand Together With- the cotton farmer, as well as the tobacco and peanut farmer, emerging from a system of economic slavery that has held his nose to the grindstone for 40 years?or until the improved conditions brought about by our government coming to his rescue, and now offering to go with him and protect him from the system that has held him down so long?it is reason able to believe that the producers of all these crops will sign up a hundred per cent for the continuation of the system suggested by the government. It is certairily the hope of all the people in the sec tions producing these crops that the farmers will stand together for one time to make their condition more secure. Traveling a Well-Beaten Path The National Association of Manufacturers is still stabbing at labor. Of course the members of that or ganization are not so much worried at what labor has done or is doing as they are with the government be cause it has found labor has been mistreated and has taken sides with the fellows who needed help most. Of course, President Roosevelt doesn't care how much money we make, but, like all good men, he does not like to see some make big profits and others make 80, Mr. Manufacturer, if you have to tun your plant with small profits for a while, just remember you are the same road that labor has traveled for a Land Seekers Many people are inquiring for land to cultivate next year. Sad to say, however, many of them are considered undesirable and can find none. First of all, landowners usually keep the best ten apts from year to year; and if good ones are moving around they are sought after. ? Second, must of those who cannot be fully depended upon to work well, deal honestly, and be agreeable, always find it hard to get good place;. Many of them proceed on the theory that the landowner should feed them and furnish everything the family needs and wants, and if the crop is good he "pays-out"; if it turns out bad, then the farm owner loses. Another reason why farmers are finding it hard to get crops is that nearly every one wants a big tobacco acreage?most of which is already taken. The only farmer we know of who is looking for a crop and who does not want tobacco Ts ~a member of the Holiness church. There was a day when almsl any honest red-blooded man would buy himself a tract of land, get married and set up housekeeping and start out to make his fnrinn?. jn partnership with a woman who was willing to share the joys and sorrows with him. From such homes have come most of the choice human stock of America. And men and women thought it no undue hardship to make a living. They were entirely willing and perfectly satisfied to do so. Better Now Than Later The proper thing for the United States, England, and Russia to do is to get together and tell Japan that :he just cannot build a big navy. She might pout for a little while, but that would be preferable to so much quarreling. Besides, it is so much easier to settle the thing now than it will be for our children to settle. There would be no danger from such a general order from these three nations. Just tell them, "Japan, slop building warships. Your character and standing . makes it unsafe lot the other nations of ihe world if you carry arms." Japan will fare belter by peace ful trading than she will by trying to force her own desires on others. Secure at Sixty-Five Southern Planter. It is a matter of record that only 5 out of every j 100 men who have reached the age of 65 have inde- t IK'ndent incomes. The other 95 per cent are depnd- ' nr upon their o^i labor, relatives or charity for sup- i |xirt. 'it does seem that in our economic system there-' j could be developed some means whereby a man or j woman who has spent the fruitful years of life in hon- j est toil could be guaranteed financial security during j I the evening years of life. If a national old-age pen- |( sion system is the answer to the problem, well and j good, but some system is essential.. The committee on economic security which Presi dent Roosevelt appointed to develop a program of so cial legislation for the next Congress is working on the problem, and is understood to have evolved a tenta tive plan for relief of the aged. There are 28 states which have old-age pension laws already, but most of them are operating ineffectually because of poor finan cial support. Any satisfactory legislation must be na tional in scope and Federally subsidized, and it is our hope that the next Congress will enact such a law. There are 6,500,000 people over 65 years of age in the United States, many of whom are de|>endent be cause the habit of saving was ^ot developed in early Herein lies an equally great task for the democracy: to train our youth in thrift?make it patriotic to save and to protect the investing public from worth less financial schemes. If followed up religiously, these two objectives would do much toward reducing the number of old-age dependents. W+ch financial security at 65 assured, every one would agree with Browning's phrase ''the best of life is the last, for which the first was made." Thanksgiving Day Southern Planter. More than 300 years ago a small group of colonial farmers situated on the New England Coast, having been blessed with a bountiful harvest, paused in hum ble supplication to praise God tor the mercies of the year past. In so doing they little dreamed perhaps, that they were establishing a custom that was destined to live down through the years and become dear to the hearts of 123,000,000 American people Innately a hard working, God fearing farm people our l'ilgrim Fathers saw in Thanksgiving Day much that our |>opulation should well consider today. They recognized and thanked God lot those resources that were at that very moment giving birth to the richest and greatest Nation on earth. The vastness of the natural resources?fertile soils, virgin forests, wild fruits, nuts and game, including an abundant supply of our now famous Thanksgiving turkey and a won derful climate?served to awaken in the sturdy colo nists an appreciation of those things beyond their own efforts that contributed to a gracious harvest. They had come from the CMd Word to the New and the contrast brought them to their knees in gratitude. Compared to our forefathers we are today living in IheTapVf luxury. May we not forget it! Even dur ing the depression days, conditions here were far bet ter than those in any other country in the world. The misery and suffering of the few unfortunate Ameri cans have been adequately attended by a charitable people and a sympathetic government. The wheels of industry and commerce are again speeding up, and the plight of our farmers has enormously improved. Thanksgiving Day 1934 finds our people again thank ful for Divine guidance.
