Views Without -Prejudice City VOL. 2 ELIZABETH CITY, NORTH CAROLINA, SATURDAY EVENING, JANUARY 27.1917 NO.I Democracy and Education theme oi Pro! Walker A Product of Eastern Carolina of Whom The State is Proud Heard With Interest at The Alkraina J I The Third Community Serried meeting at the Alkrama Saturday morning waa marked by an ad dress by Prot. N. W. Walker ot the faculty of the University of North Carolina. Prof. Walker's theme was 'Dem cracy and Educ tlon.' In sub tance, he spoke as follows: "Our public school system la based upon the theory that every 'child born in our social order is itentially a social asset. "If he is not tducated at least up to the averagt !ife about him In ln- tellisience. morality and ideals, he tends to exert a downward pull on society and therefore represents and is responsible for a net loss to society. On the other hand if he is trained above the average in Intelligence, . morality and ideals, his pull on society is an upward : pull and he represents a net gain to , the' social order, V -"H Is the duty, therefore of every : state and.S"ounty': .and --community ;4hat - is Interested In progress' to provide opportunities for its own de velopment and progress through the education of every boy and girl. Otherwise there is bound to be waste 'and loss for which somebody Is responsible. 1 1 ' 'For neglect in this important natter, society has only itself to blame. If ignorance, disease and low ideals are prevalent when they 1 are preventable, we have, under our system of government, nobody to 1 .blame but ourselves. ' "This theory, f course, presup poses and correctly so, that every byo or girl Is .going to express men nncK in iurihit in unirin wit iWjfiwier in a way tnat win help or inder progress and good citizen ship. ' 'Individual and community pro vgresa Is possible Just in that meas ure that our schools, colleges, un iversities and other agencies suc ceed in getting over Into the lives llveg of men the ideals, and the knowltdge that will make them bet ter. Religion has been defined as The Life of God in the Soul of man,' '' and this is the ideal the church Is striving for. So it is with the schools and all other agen cies of social uplift thty are un dertaking to put into the lives of men the Ideals and the acts life that will enlarge and rich and spiritualize that life. "So it "is that the national and state ' governments are interested, ,for example, In certain fundamental things of common everyday life ;nat they once took, no Interest In good cooking In the homes of the community, good living and wrking conditions, good sanitation, y good 'farming are matters of concern, for they have a Tery vital bearing on -good Citizenship and prosperous Sand happy living.

GRIGGS I shall not attempt to elaborate upon any medical, subject but shall hint at several things for the school Children , of -Currituck county, and taaehOM 'lBpt' for,ipf a'l the profess Ions before theVAmerlcan people 'to. day, ibere . Is ; nor one that stands higher, In my" estimation, than the teaching profession and especially the country ' teacher who is so closely allied to the country doctor. These two characters have many things in common and especially, the common 'cussln,' after they have done all that patience, effi ciency, common - sense, science and sympathy can .suggest. I appreciate the fact that the American people have again honor ed and exalted the teaching, pro fession by, .electing to the highest office in their gift the schoolmas ter statesman Woodrow Wilson who is perhaps the most scholarly man In public life today. So cast off your gloon, my teach er friends, and remember that you are close akin professionally to our chief magistrate What I shall say will not amount to much in Itself, for you have heard the thought expressed more elegantly ninny times; but if by these few hints I can advance (ome idea, which, per chanct might In spire in some boy or girl great ac tivity In hygenic .work. I shall be delighted. I wish to bring before every boy and girl in Currituck County the importance of taking care of the mouth and teeth. The care of the teeeth and mouth or oral hygene, 'as engaged the attention of all thinking people for thousands of years. We know that the Egyptians had their teeth filled and used dentifrice. The Egyptian mummies had good teeth. bArtaa tslcCfll .D,' ' ' Tou have doubtless learned from your course In physiology and hy gene that every normal individual hag twenty first or milk teeth. The last of which four in number, one In each half jaw, make their appearance during the third year. These last four, tnark the beginning of the permanent teeth and wind up with the wisdom teeth, . which generally have to be cut throujh, rubbed through, or extracted, be tween the ages of eighteen and twenty four. If per chance your wisdom teeth escape the wrath of the dentlnt and get through ' safe and sound and you enter lnio your 4 twenty-fifth , y.ear- with' thirty-two perfectly "sound teeth, yon have the btgpest asset In trade health, hap piness longevity any, man or wom an ver possessed v ; T hey are worth more to you than thlirty-two of the most valuable, diamonds Cnntlneiied On Psge Two wmwm is l!l IDIfl6 LARGELY TO ASI8T RURAL DE- LIVERY OF MAIL.

T tSK A dispatch from Washington Thursday told of the apportionment amonT the vnrlous states cf the $10, 000,000 fund for good roads for the year beginning July 1, 1917. North Caro'lna's share of thla fund is $288,793. The purpose of this road building aided by the Federal Governmtnt is largely to assist the rural letter carrier in delivering his mall. Each State must put up an amount equal to that provided by the Federal Gov ernment and must furnish the Wash ington officials plans of the road on which it purposes to use the funds. The apprbpiation last year was $5, 000,000. It will be Increased five minion each year until it is $25,000r 000 on the fifth year. In connection with the problem of bul'dlng "permanent roads" a cur rent magazine gives the following Information and argument In favor of concrete as building material. "During the first ten months ' of tht past year, 28,683,677 .square yards of concrete pavin? wfere con tracted for throughout the United States. ThlB equal about 2200 miles of road 18 feet wide. The contracts let during the first ten months of 1916 alone surpass the record of any previous year. Every year a new record hag been madt in the amount of concrete paving laid. Such records Indicate the unquall- fyed confidence ot the people In con crete roads and pavements, "Concrete makes a road that"TT a pleasure to ride upon . It la dust- less, mudless and free from ruts and holes. "Concrete makes the safest and most serviceable road. Its gritty surface prevents slipperness; in wet weather automobiles . will not skid on it; the color makes It easy to follow at night. "Concrete roads are nearest to being 100 per cent" efficient 365 days In the year. "Concrete roads art the most e conomicai of all types of perma nent pavements the first cost Is moderate the upkeep is neg'lblt. "Materials used for the construe-' tlon ot concrete roads are familiar to everybody.

It is the second annual St. Paul Outdoor Winter Sports carnival, and will last until February 3. The city was given over entirely to gaiety today. Parades, marching clubs demontrations, and all activi ties of the monster celebration were held outdoors. The affair this year grew near national. Its boosters plan that It will surpass the New Orleans Madri Gras, the St. Louis Veiled Prophet unveiling, and the Seattle rose week celebrations. Louis W. 1I1U, Bon of the late Jas. J. Hill, Empire builder, and now head of his father's Interests, . Is back of the carnival. He costum ed 2,600 In warm woolens for th event. Delegations came from Winnipeg, Chicago, Butte; Monti; and intermediate points. Hundred otbandi.p!ayed uncomplainingly ''in the low temperatures ' throughout the city. Strong men from the South St. Paul Stock Yards formed a fearless 'Hook 'em Cow' march ing club, which made merry by promlscously grabbing any one not smiling and bonding them in a blanket.

With "Brown" for the past ten days ag convicts have been Prof. John McCormlck, professor of poll cal science at Bowdoin University, and Harry Bolaniskl, Osborne's sec retary. The three were treated exactly like other convicts In the - prison. They wore the same clothes, atje the same food, did the - same labor on the Portsmouth rock-piles and no hint was given the convicts but that the trio were real "bad men" serving time like the rest of them. This Is Osborn's third voluntary term in a prison to obtain first band Information as te conditions. Hig first "sentence" ws at Auburn sev eral years ago. n u PROVIDES FOR fcLECTI .
