Stt Pure Food Commis ' sioner Against "Lazy Woman's 'Flour" - - "Long May It Wave." GREENS CREEK ELECTION. Necessity for Establishing, by Bond Issue, a Township Industrial and Home Economics j School at Greens Creek. - ' Fifty years ago there was no coun try school . problem. The country school and the city school were much alike. Each had small, ' cheap build ings, poof ' equipment, and practically no teaching apparatus, .bacn. arew its teachers from the same source and paid them about the same salaries. Trained teachers, skilled supervision, 1 !teachiner equipment, special instruc- V i iaoh, an enriched curriculum, C these and t other things with which we; are ;v.Xrqw saf amiEax .were practically un known in city and," country. But fif ty years have seen great changes in ' American education, and in these changes the country school has oeen left far behind. The concentration of wealth has made it necessary, that the ciites should develop a class of schools capable of meeting the chang , y". ed conditions of our life. They have ; provided more liberally, .f or u their f schools, have drawn -the best teach ers to them, have developed high schools and supervision, have provid ' . ea laboratory and Much good work was also done by some schools in this county. Unfor tunately, however, the blizzardy weather prevented many districts from having any successful obser vance of the occasion. In such districts the teacher is ur ged to set apart another day for gen eral observance by the patrons just as soon as possible after school reopens. If a general public occasion is not thought advisable, the teacher should at least send word to all parents to attend a "parents' meeting"- to be held on the first available Friday af ternoon. And no matter whether a public celebration is held or only a parents' meeting, the teacher ana patrons should seek first of all to get definite action on such of the follow ing fourteen improvements as are most needed by the local school. 1. Lengthing the term. ' 2. Getting additional teachers. 3. Getting better school buildings. 4. Painting the building. 5. Improving 'school grounds. 6. Getting a school library! 7. Getting a traveling library. 8. Getting sanitary drinking foun tains or individual drinking cups. 9. Getting pictures for the school. 10. Arranging for a school farm in 1920. 11. Arranging for a .school fair. 12. Arranging for a course of lec tures, music, etc., . for the entire community ; 13. Teaching illiterates in the com munity to read and write. 14, Getting boys and girls into club work. In the second place, every :: school should complete on this day its con tnbution for the Aycock Monument soon to be erectd in Raleirh. In ev ery case these pupils who were a-sent pn December 19 should now be criven an opportunity to make their gifts to this beautiful memorial to their great friend, as should the parents, also when they meet. Everv school should feel it a privilege to reach or pass the small quota suggested "an average of a nickel" apiece for each pupil." E. W. S; COBB, Co. Supt. o MOUNTAIN VIEW.
