Setting the Pace Currituck has set a pace in ru ral school organization and effi ciency that it will be some time, from the present outlook, before the other counties of the Albe marle can match. For no other county of those that surround the Albemarle Sound has made more than a beginning toward what Curri tuck has already achieved. In the other counties of this section arc special districts in which the one teacher school has . been done away with and a con solidated school established with or without a high -school depart ment; but in Currituck the en tire educational system of the county has been made one effec tive unit. In the other counties of this section there are schools that have their own trucks for the transportation of pupils to and from school; but Currituck is the only county on the Albe marle Sound, so far as we know, j which has practically eliminated the one and two-teacher school and in which trucks used in transporting pupils are owned by the Board of Education and are operated on a county-wide scale. As this newspaper under stand* figures given out by County Superintendent W. I). CoX, the Board of Education of! Currituck County has already purchased ten trucks; and will probably have to purchase two in addition tof transport pupils to Shawboro. Rural schools in the other counties of this section are us ually without any supervision whatever Beyond that of a coun ty superintendent of education , who is overwhelmed with the Routine of his office and who d6es well to visit the schools of his county once a year. In Cur rituck a specialist in rural edu cation who has had observation of the best ruraf-schools of the country has been employed 'to give her full time to the super vision of the schools of the coun ty. No one factor is calculated to do as much to bring each teacher to her maximum of effi ciency as thoroughly competent supervision. Currituck is not only setting a pace for the county schools of this section, but also for the city schools as well. Elizabeth City, for instance, went to consider able expense some time ago to have the Federal .Bureau of Ed ucation make a survey of the school needs of this municipal ity, but when the survey was made and recommendations based on the survey offered, these recommendations were ac ct ted with reservations. The recommendations are being car 'ried out only in part. In Currituck, if The Advance U n d erstands Superintendent Cox, the Federal Bureau's plan Was aoaepted without reserva tions and is being carried out to the letter. All honor to Currituck.

"Yes," say advocates of the sales tax, according to Mr. Da vid Lawrence. All The Advance has to say to any advocates of the sides tax as may have dropped such bunk in to Mr. Lawrence's ears is that they are liars and the truth is not in them?and they know it. When is a tax not a tax? According to the sales tax ad vocate, a tax is not a tax when 'it is a sales tax. "How do you get that way''' one ventures to inquire of s. t. a. "Why it's easy,' 'answers s. t. a. "A sales tax is not a tax be cause it is included in the price of an article sold and the buyer pays it without knowing it." i Yes, and by means of a little sugar-coating one may take a Rigorous cathartic without knowing it, but at the same time one is certainly going to discov er what was wrapped up in the 'sugar?eventually. Surely our sins as a nation have been sufficiently punished |by the scourge of an indirect tax in the form of a "protective" |tariff. May the scourge of a sales tax never be added to that of the "protective" tariff. The Weevil Is Coming Up to the present year The Advance has been frankly doubtful as to whether, in these northern latitudes, the boll wee vil would reach the height of de structiveness that it has at tained farther south. After seeing and hearing, however, of the inroads of the weevil in that part of Salem township where it has appeared in considerable number this year, this newspaper is con vinced that unless some new check is discovered, the history of weevil invasion of other pans of the cotton belt will be repeat ed in Pasquotank County. It is the usual thing, when the weevil invades any particu lar territory, for some of the farmers to refuse to take the in-! vasion seriously until they h iveJ practically lost one crop'by the ravages of the insect. Fortunately P a s <i u o t a 11 k1 County is not dependent uponi cotton as a money crop. Pas-J quotank farmers could abandon, the cultivation of cotton, if need be, next year without any revo lutionary change in the farming system of this County. But .if, after planting and cultivating, 1 any considerable lx>dy of Pas quotank farmers lose from a I half to three-fourths of their cotton crop, the loss to them and FOR TIKES llood, Oldflcld and Mlcheltn ? the bent tire* for the money Invented.

At all drugglflta. adv. to the County would be keenly felt. I In its anxiety to prevent such a blow to the farming and busi ness interests of the County, J The Advance continues to daily warn its readers of the boll-ffg? vil menace. Our advice to every farmer in the County is-not to put too many eggs in the cotton icrop basket next year, especially jif the weevil has appeared in his I neighborhood this year. Before I buying his seed let him study [carefully the most successful i methods of combatting the wee jvil farther south from the mat iter of seed selection and plant ing on to the time of harvest. If our farmers will be fore j warned, they will be forearmed. And Pasquotank will accustom :itse1f to growing cotton under weevil conditions with a mini mum of distress. " The Advance last year voiced jits faith that the boll weevil is jno menace to Pasquotank. It (still holds that faith. But such I faith was based on the fact that Pasquotank farmers are not j obliged to grow cotton for a money crop. Because the weevil can not menace permanently the prosperity of our farmers, how | ever, is no reason why the pest may not cause them heavy loss if they disregard the warning signals of its coming.
