flitter lesson. What then will the
house of tommorw be? That will de
pend on the heritage left by us. Shall
we let the depression of today be the
calamity of tomorrow? Depressions
may I say not only be of economics but
of polities and morals also. In our
V hearts we want something better for;
M"jr children. We can eo forward only
hrough the children. Those who
would cripple the training of the
children of today cripple the civili
zation of tomorrow. Let u then be
thinking parents, that we may set
about to remedy this heritage.
It is the privilege and duty of parent-teacher
members to protect the
home and the school. Some months
ago there was a growing feeling
among some of our thinking state
i.oard members that a study should
uc made of th(, existing conditions of
cur state. An able research commit
Uv was appointod. In ehruary,
li!2, a report was made- After
prayerful di liberation in August: Ht:i2
the hoard drew up the" following res
olution :
U"M)!ution; ''Having faith anil bc

North Carolina Congress of Parents
iv Teachers express", the following
stand: First, there would ,ht- no fur
ther cut in state appropriations to
tht. educational Work; Second. We be
lieve in a balanced budget, and if the
linancial skiuation in the. state de
mand further readjustment, we urge:
(a) The need of a careful study so
that economies can be effected in
other state expenditures that we deem
not so essential as public schools and
institutions of higher learning; (b)
If after these economics, further ad
justment is imperative, we recom
mend that this be accomplished by
means least burdensome to the whole
people of the state. It was also de
cided to sponsor an educational pro
gram over our entire state on the ed
ucational and economical situation.
This was the itheme and program of all
our district meetings in October.
Around two thousand people attended
these nv-etings. A resolution was
adopted at these meetings taking a
similar stand. Each leader in at
tendance then was to carry the mes
sage back for study in all the locals.

ditures of his state and local govern
ment? The time has come when every
man and woman should know where
the money comes from and how it
is expended. North Carolina aver
aged borrowing 50 million dollars a
year for the past ten years till our
total . 'indebtedness' is 550 million.
Whose fault is it that we have these
figures and this great burden? The
fault is in ourselves. We have fallen
down on our jab as parents and citi.
zens. Please note the following fig
ures: Our judiciary salaries are:
Superior, $8,050.06 annually, including
nfllnrv and ovnonsips- Snnrpmp. Sfi
600.00. The report of the highway
Y' isays that it is impossible to give ac
curately yearly salary, but ot ninety
.fclassifications the average runs
around $1,787.55 annually. The
commissions, boards, etc.. has 992
people employed (including janitors,
messengers, etc.) with an average
annual salary of . $1,625. The total
mount spent for teachers' salaries
was $17,687,265. This is a huge
sum, but a little figuring will show
something contrary to public opinion.
We have 23,290 teachers, including
principals, supervisors and teachers
'white and black) which gives an
annual salary of $847.59 or $70.59
per month.
There is the general appreciation
that taxation has become not only
burdensome, but destructive. The
problem then is where the economics
should come. This is an hour for
courage, vision and fearless opinion.
The. privilege and opportunity is ours
during the coming weeks to see that
the cost of our government is cut
and above all that the schools are not
crippled.
What will the house of tomorrow
be? The answer is with us and his
tory. "Let mothers, fathers, nurses,
educators, legislators and, mightiest
of all in its far-reaching influence,
the press, make the child the watch
word and ward of the day and hour ;
let all else be secondary, and coming
generatii ns will behold a new world
and a r.cv people."

When a man is as faithful to a poli

sometime he will be rewarded. . .

Thi vrry old illusion vrai invented by Indian
fakirs. 1 he secret wa unearthed in 1849 by tbe
great magician, Kobert-Houdio. At that time, ether
had just been discovered, and little was known
about it. Houdin claimed that he had discovered
that this new anesthetic could make people light as
air. To prove it, he caused tbe subject to rise into
the air and float apparently suspended. He passed
a hoop around the body to show there were no
wires or supports.
EXPLANATION!
There are many, many explanations for this old
trick. One is that the girl wears a concealed harness,
which ends in a socket between her shoulder blades.
This is attached to a. piston below the stage. Ihe
piston is pushed up from below, causing her to
rise in the air. The piston is invisible, because it
is covered with mirrors which reflect surrounding
draperies, similar to the background. Ihe magi
cian can pass the hoop over her body because it
is cut in one place. It can be pulled apart for a
second when it passes the piston.

It is a fact, well known by

Camels are made from finer, MORE
EXPENSIVE tobaccos than any other
popular brand. ,
This is why Camels are so mild. This is why
Camels have given more pleasure to more
people than any other cigarette ever made.
