Raleigh, Nov. 16 ? Rsar Admiral!
Richard E. Byrd, noted explorer and |
- chairman of the National Economy
League, ha9 accepted an invitation to ; ,
address the annual convention of the'
National Grange in Winaton-Salem j
on the evening of November 18, : I
Frank Pcge, 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 j
States of America," as follows:
"Dear Veteran:
"Your bill has just been received ;
for pensions, compensation and other i
benefits for the current fiscal year, j
"Your previous bills have always;
been paid promptly without question, :
because I was very anx'ous that those
of you disabled in battle or disease in j
the service, (or their widows and de
pendents) should be taken care of j
properly in line with the original ,
1S17 legislation ana in keeping with '
the traditions of our country.
"I did not notice until this year '
that I am called upon to pay annually i
?4o0,000,C00, 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- ;
fercd from the usual hazards of civi!
life. I, myself, am subject to these
same hazards, and have to pay the
cost of my own misfortune?. 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
wiil 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
jur only hope is education. The school ,
must see the importance of living .
with children. Only as the school is j
placed on a basis of actual living can :
certain necessary social, moral habits j
and attitudes be built.
The school must be a placc -where
life with its real experiences goes on.
Modern civilisation 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 forccd to
accept the major share of guidance.
The present crisis is more than eco
nomic. Apparently wo have created
an environment with little thought of
the future. The problem now is to
meet the present emergency with in
telligence and foresight and plan as
far as possible a safe and sane pro
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. W.
must begin by keeping in mind the
progress 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
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 aiso 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 subjcct matter, to
train for thev^hy^^ ISSTTrCtT
citizenship, to instill in
"'!? mtr.d 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 j
organization, its campaigns, its as- 1
semblies, its plays; sometimes1
through its so called extra eurricular .
activities.
We all agree to the ideal school en- j
fironment for 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
>ast are needed for "the new educa- ;
:ion." The task now is to adopt our- 1
selves to meet the present emergency.
Let us look to the pioneer of the !
frontier days ? they "learned by do- j
ng" and theirs was a changing civil
ization. They lived history, were a
part of a new country with lands to ,
:onquer. We are living today the his- 1
tory of tomorrow, we are part of a !
now era where education must lift
the world from its fears, depression 1
and idleness to a new life of hope ar.d
importunity for each individual stu
dent in the great schools oi tomorrow.

TODAY'S NUISANCE: Quoting a
front pag? article in thir paper of
last we"l;, -tnting f hut the Brevard
football team wa:i in perfect shapa
land would give the Waynesville boys
a ''run for thoir money", proved un
successful. ? Evidently Waynesville
had no money because the team went
down with defeat.
I 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 on Main
? drag by a swell looking dame who
| was a Poppy saleslady and tried to
influence him to buy one. Mark told
i her that he did not want another
* Poppy* because he had one and also
j had a mother, too.
I HEARD AND SEEN in some of
the larger newspapers of the Slate
'where the Democrats had an election
j recently.
| Archie Kellar is a rpeedy worker
?and I have come to the conclusion that
' he would make a good "unemploy
ment agent." Here lately there ha;:
i been a r.ew addition made to Brevard
| by the Williams family moving in and
immediately Archie started employ
ing practically all of Mildred Wil
liams time.
i
i 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
ifive years, $3, 110.74. The expense of
| three ten-cent cigars at the end of
Ken years, is $1,471.56; for twenty
five years, $6,382.47. At the end of
I 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 sell for your pastor. I have been in
many cities and have yet to fee a
; minister that delivers the spirit of
God in his sermons like Rev. Hart
fell.
! The height of dampness is to see
! a fellow come down Main drag and
i want to know where he could locate
. that new brand of whiskey that
; Roosevelt was distributing as samples
, of the future intoxicants, called
I "Charlie Corn."
I BELIEVE IT OR NOT: Bill
I, aval, coach for the University of
? South Carolina has never played a
?game of football. Although he is stub,
i posed to be about the bejj^gjjgljjggf
f-tteTStateT" '
{ 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 car.. The following head is
to start each paragraph. WE ARK
THANKFUL:
j That we cannot have two depres
i sions at one time because we might
' have to elcct 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 Christiana 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
on each town and pronounce it
"dead."
To know Gee McGec- who writes a
column headed "Nobodys Business,"
but sure do hate to see it existing
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 net have
anything to worry over and after all
what is life if you do not have trouble.
"But r.ine times out of ten you will
find a woman at the bottom of ic all."
That the world going around and
abound does not create the habit of
drunkeness.

whum! I saw sum t in dat locked like
a male. It had teeth and eyea lite
a mule. It had ears like a mule, it had
a tail and body !iks a mule," she
was trying to make the other negroes

story said in n singsong, "Sister, dat
musta 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 boya playing ball
And the children running round.
The school house on the hill is the
place 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
bill,
Because I love it bes'c,
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 Dear
Friend Mrs. W. P. Mull. She leaves
a large circle of friends arid 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. Sri"
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 wo cannot bring her hac'- ,
her memory uiil 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 meei
her in Heaven.
A precious one from us is gone
A voice we loved is stilled
A plfcce is vacant ir. a heme
Which never car. be filled.
A Friend,

how receives 60 percent of his av
erage wage for varying period* 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 end
hospital care is furnished. Thus She ?
over-burdened charitable organiza
tions of the counties during the de
pression have been relieved of tha
care of the worker injured in indns-*
trial accidents. The total
lion paid or approved for the year
1930-81 was $979,078.00 and for
1931-32 was $710,849.00.
The medical piofession and hospi
? ta/s 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
the bill up to charity. The mcdics 5
and hospital costs for the year 1930
31 was 1532,728 and for 1931-32 was
$431,653.00.
i The employer ar.d 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-iSalem, N. C. one of these an
'nual safety conferences with 1200 eai
? plovers snd 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 the results
obtained more than justify the adop
tion of the Act since a life or limb
saved by prevention is better than
compensation after the occurence of
the accident.
