ADMIRAL BYRD TO
ADDRESS GRANGE
Raleigh, Nov. 16 ? Rear Admiral
Richard E. Byrd, noted explorer and
- chairman of the National Economy
League, has accepted an invitation to:
address the annual convention of the ;
National Grange in Winston-Salem
on the evening of November 18,
Frank Page, chairman of the N. C.
State Branch of the League, has been
advised. Whether Admiral Byrd will
discuss the program of the League or
not, Mr. Page said he is unable to
say. Presumably the address will be t
public. j
Mr. Page did make public a letter,
supposedly written by "The American
Citizen" in "20 million homes, United
States of America," as follows:
"Dear Veteran:
"Your bill has just been received
for pensions, compensation and other
benefits for the current fiscal year.
"Your previous bills have always
been paid promptly without question,
because I was very anxious that those
of you disabled in battle or disease in
the service, (or their widows and de
pendents) should be taken care of
properly in line with the original
1917 legislation and in keeping with
the traditions of our country.
"'I did not notice until this year
that 1 am called upon to pay annually
$450,000,000, or more than half the
bill, to Spanish and World War vet
erans who came out of the war able
bodied and well, but who later suf
fered from the usual hazards of civil
life. I, myself, am subject to these
same hazards, and have to pay the
cost of my own misfortunes. Do you
think it fair to ask me to pay for
yours as well?
"Would you mind thinking it over,
and sending me a corrected bill for
war incurred disabilities only, and I
will pay it with all my heart.
"In grateful recognition of your
services to our country, and believing
you to be as patriotic in peace as in
war.
"The American Citizen."

WRITES ON SCHOOLS
OF TOMORROW
(By C. E. Burney)
We all are compelled to agree that j
our only hope is education. The school ;
must see the importance of living ,
with children. Only as the school is j
placed on a basin of actual living can
certain necessary social, moral habits j
and attitudes be built.
The school must be a place where ;
life with its real experiences goes on.
Modern civilization with its intricate
and complex manner of living has
made it necessary for the home to
accept and cooperate with the many
agencies interested in training youth.
More and more the school is forced to
accept the major share of guidance.
The present crisis is more than eco
I nomic. Apparently we have created
: an environment with little thought of
I the future. The problem now is to
I meet the present emergency with in
j telligence and foresight and plan as
| far as possible a safe and sane pyo
: gram for our children in school which
, will give them opportunities for a
] social adjustment that will make pos
sible the good life.
Social adjustment means life. We
I must begin by keeping in mind the
j iirogrrss made in our schools. Growth
: must come from what, has been ac
complished and the school of tomor
row must use as its foundation the
I school of today.
Education today starts in the cra
dle, progressive ideas starting in the
nursery schools. From Kindergarten
to High school the child is the cen
ter of attention and is recognized as
an individual in the making.
Conditions are changing so rapidly
that yesterdays education barely cov
ers todays needs. The burden of edu
cating the public falls heavily on the
schools of tomorrow. It must recog
nize the child as an individual in the
making and offer not only opportuni
ties of an enriched curriculum but it
must also become a place where life
with its real experiences goes on,
where a child is inspired to partici
pate and cooperate to his fullest ca
pacity.
The most important factor in ad
justing a child in his school environ
ment is the teacher. Her influence
may be for good or evil. The child
learns to respect authority or becomes
contemptuous of it. Discipline can
come only from leadership. At the
present is a time of readjustment of
values, of new values, of inventory,
let us ask ourselves as another teach
er did who felt instinctively that we
are weathering more than an econom
ic crisis.
"I wonder if this is not a valley of
decision? If we had not been derailed
here, would we ever have seen that
we were on the wrong track."
In the past we were asked to under
stand and teach subject matter, to
train for thewgrtJ^^ 3# iQTsureTto
B^^i2^S^cTcitizenship, to instill in
iTcnund of youth attitudes that
would result in good character hab
its. In the school of tomorrow, em
phasis will be shifted from subject
matter to the child as an individual
in terms of needs, capacity, back
ground, spiritual, mental, and physi
cal health behavior, ambitions, in
fact all of the factors which affect
or play upon him.
In the school of tomorrow, social
attitudes may be developed through
experiences so that knowledge and
skill will result in technique. Oppor
tunities will be offered through stu
dent government with its home room
organization, its campaigns, its as
semblies, its plays; sometimes
through its so called extra curricular
activities.
We all agree to the ideal school en
vironment fqt social attitudes, and we
know that there are many compro
mises made in the present school or
ganization.
The same qualities that have
brought order out of chaos in time
past are needed for "the new educa
tion." The task now is tc adopt our
selves to meet the present emergency.
Let us look to the pioneer of the
"rentier days ? they "learned by do
ing" and theirs was a changing civil
ization. They lived history, were a
part of a new country with lands to
conquer. We are living today the his
tory of tomorrow, we are part of a
new era where education must lift
the world from its fears, depression
and idleness to a new life of hope and
opportunity for each individual stu
dent in the great schools of tomorrow.

TODAY'S NUISANCE: Quoting ?
front pa^"1 article in thir paper of
last week, stating that, the Brevard
football te-'m was in perfect shap?
and would give the Waynesville boys
a "run for their money", proved un
successful. ? Evidently Waynesville
had no money because the team went :
I down with defeat.
< The same old "gag", Mark Orr,
was in town over the week-end and ;
as usual was pulling some fast ones.
He was approached down ort Main
drag by a swell looking dame who
was a Poppy saleslady and tried In
influence him to buy one. Mark lold
her that he did not want another
Poppy* because he had one and also
had a mother, too.
HEARD AND SEEN in some of
the larger newspapers of the State
'where the Democrats had an election
j recently.
Archie Kellar is a speedy worker
jand J have come to the conclusion that
he would make a good "unemploy
ment agent." Here lately there has
j been a new addition made to Brevard
| by the Williams family moving in and
| immediately Archie started employ
i ing practically all of Mildred Wil
j liams time.
| BELIEVE IT OR NOT: The ex
pense of smoking three five-cent
I cigars a day, principal and interest,
| for ten years, is $745.74; for twenty
jfive year?, $,1,110.74. The expense of
j three ten-cent cigars at the end of
I'ten years, is $1,471.56; for twenty
five years, $6,382.47. At the end of
fifty years it is $54,162.14.
REV. HARTSELL. I take great
pleasure of congratulating you for
rendering such wonderful and inspir
ing sermons Sunday. ? "I think that
you Baptist people should be proud to
have a qualified man like Rev. Hart
j Fell for your pastor. I have been in
many cities ana have yet to see a
minister that delivers the spirit of
God in his sermons like Rev. Hart
| sell.
I The height of durnoness is to sec
| a fellow come down Main drag and
j want to know where he could locate
! that new brand of whiskey that
i Roosevelt was distributing as samples
, of the future intoxicants, called
i "Charlie Corn."
! BELIEVE IT OR NOT: Bill
iT.aval, coach for the University of
. South Carolina has never played a
' game of football. Although he issur
1 posed to be about the bejj*
Ttitut Stale.
j THANKSGIVING is still drawing
nearer and nearer and we are de
termined to get as many paragraphs
pertaining to this day before it pass
es as we can. The following head is
to start each paragraph. WE ARE
THANKFUL:
That we cannot have two depres
sions at one time because we might
I have to elect another president to
keep it from making such a dent in
one mans head.
To hear that some people have
sense even if newspapermen do not.
| To know that Leon English's ear
'cannot talk because it might cause
^ him to lose his wife.
That newspapers do not print all
they hear and see ? If they did there
would not be as many Christians as
, are now existing in this old world.
To know that the rest of the world
does not know what is going on here.
If they did they would hang a crepe
'en each town and pronounce it
| "dead."
j To know Gee McCee who writes a
column headed "Nobody s Business,"
but sure do hate to see it existing
j throughout the United States.
!
That we have so many good-looking
girls in our midst, but you boys take
a little advice and not tell them this
because you will have to put weights
on them to hold them down, due to
getting the "swell-head." You know
| what I mean, they will swell up like
a balloon and float off to another
territory.
That God did pluck a rib from
Adam and make women ? If he had
not done this we men would not have
anything to worry over and after all
what is life if you do not have trouble.
"But nine times out of ten you will
find a woman at the bottom of it all.''
That the world going around ant!
! abound does not create the habit of
drunkeness.

ANOTHER JOKE
A negro woman was testifying in
a church meeting. She stood up and
aaid, "Last night I dreamed sumpin,
wliuml I saw sumpin dat looked like
a mule. It had teeth and eyes like
a mule. It had ears like a mule, it had
a tail and body like a muie," she
was trying to make the other negroes
think she had seen a vision. Finally
one old negro getting tired of the
story said in a singsong, "Sister, dat
inusta been a mule you saw."

The school house on the hill;
When your friends are gone and left
you,
And your days are clear and still,
Remember the days we spent together
In the school house on the hill;
Oh, the school house on the hill,
How sweet is every sound,
With the boys piaying ball
And the children running round.
The school house on the hill is the
plane for me,
And my playmates are so happy
And everything is gay and free;
If I live to be a hundred
And go from east to west,
I remember the school house on the
hill,
Because I love it best,
The girls are all so playful
And the teachers sometime, too, so
you see
The school house on the hill
Is the gayest place for me.

IN MEMORY OF MRS. W. P. MULL
On Thursday evening October 20,
at the quiet hour of ten o'clock God
in his great power and tender mercies
called to her great reward our Deal
Friend Mrs. W. P. Mull. She leave?
a large circle of friends and relatives
to mourn her loss. Mrs. Mull was. a
devoted .Christian. She was quiet and
retiring in disposition, a kind devoted
mother and a friend to the sick and
needy. She was held in high esteem
among her neighbors and friends and
was loved by all who knew her. Shr
bore all her suffering and pain with
patience and when God called her she
was ready to go. We greatly feel the
loss of our dear friend but our great
loss is Heavens gain. Her presence
here will be missed in many ways
and we cannot bring her hac'- ' ...
her memory \vili go on as long as time
shall last. There is one thing we can
look forward to if we walk in the foot
steps of Jesus we will someday meet
her in Heaven.
A precious one from us is gone
A voice we loved is stilled
A plaee is vacant in a home
Which never can be filled.
A Friend,

COMPENSATION ACT
i SAID JUSTIFIED
i
(Continued from, Page One)
I
now receives 60 percent of his av
erage wage for varying periods of
time commensurate with his disabili
ty, permitting him to carry on while
readjusting himself to his changed
condition. To assist him in this re
habilitation the very best medical and
hospital care is furnished. Thus the
over-burdened charitable organisa
tions of the counties during the de
pression have been relieved of the
care of tho worker injured ir. indus
trial accidents. The total compensas*
tion paid or approved for the year
1930-31 was $978,078.00 and for 1
1931-31! was ?710, 849.00.
The medical profession and hospi
tals have not had the "charity
'charges" and both the doctor and the
hospitals receive prompt cash pay
ment for services, which it is pointed
out was not the practice before the
Act was adopted. They do not have
to await the "settlement" or the ob
taining of a judgment by the worker
from his employer with attendant de
lay and the possibility of charging i
the bill up to charity. The medical
and hospital costs for the year 1930
21 was $632,728 and for 1931-32 was
$431,633.00.
i The employer and employee have
been made conscious of "Safety
First," The Commission has conduct
ed three annual state-wide safety
conferences. On the 3rd and 4th of
this month there was conducted at
Winston-^Salem, N. C. one of thece an
nual safety conferences with 1200 em
ployers and employees in attendance.
In making studies of causes and pre
vention of accidents the Commission
is rendering a real service to the
workers of the State and ih? results
obtained more than justify the adop
tion of the Act since a lifa or iimb
saved by prevention is better than
compensation after the occurence of
the accident.
CARD OF THANKS
