The school, Dr. Kilpatrick answered, must take "these help less babes" and transform them into mature citizens capable of shouldering the responsibilities which fall upon every man's shoulders in a democracy.. For this development and preparation, he summed up con cisely. "The home is the primary place to begin; the school is the primary phce to continue." This week, American Education Week, offers the pubftc their opportunity 1c loern just how the schools are proceeding in the discharge of their task of Strengthening the Foundations of Free domtheme of the week. How are the schools facing up to their task? A glance it the themes for each day of this week provides a key to the answer. Sunday's topic was, Learning to Live Togeth er. The theme yesterday was, Improving the Educational Pro gram. Themes for today and the remainder of the week are: Securing Qualified Teachers; Providing Adequate Finance; Safe guarding Our America: Promoting Health and Safety; and De veloping Worthy Family Life. The foundations of America's freedom can be no stronger than the homes, churches and schools which nurture America's youth. American Education Week is the time to spotlight one of these basic institutions, the school, and to learn its unique needs and problems.

SALISBURY, Morrhcad City In order to preserve historical acts perbining to the growth of Morchead City from its early be iinning nearly 100 years ago, a movement has been started to col lect as much information of past events in the way 1 of clippings, club papers, as well as statements and stories from the older resi dents. Such information will be embodied in a scrap book and placed in the City Library for fu ture reference. If you have any old papers of past years containing items of gen eral interest covernig church, school and business changes and growth, and care to give such for the scrap book, take or send them to the City Library. Old pictures taken about the city, either photo graphs or cuts, will add to the in terest of the collection. We wonder how many persons have ever noticed the small gran ite stone marker about midway the space between the two walks lead ing to the main entrance of the Morehead City school. The inscrip tion on the stone reads: THESE 13 TREES REPRESENTING THE 13 ORIGINAL STATES WERE PLANTED BY THE VIRGINIA DARE CHAPTER OF N. C. NATIONAL SOCIETY DAUGHTERS OF THE AMERICAN COLONISTS AS A MEMORIAL TO THEIR COLONIAL ANCESTORS FEB. 10, 1931 At the time the ceremony was held on the school grounds by the Society, six trees were planted on each aide of the walks with one in the center apace back of the stone. Today only five of the trees are alive. It has been suggested that it would be a fine gesture pn the part of some class of the school to replant trees,' replacing those, who like the ancesto rsthey repre sent, have passed on. May we sug Zest Arbor Day next Spring as an appropriate time for planting?

Since its birth in 1912 it has grown from an experiment to be come a vital element of the Fleet Marine Force and of the entire Corps. In World War airborne Leath ernecks flew observation and bombing missions, fighter and anti ubmarine patrols, and even drop ped rations and supplies to a sur rounded battalion. In World War II Marine pilots in the Pacific shot town 2,378 Japanese planes and lestroyrd 500 more on ine ground, ;unk 918 ships, including 28 war ships and damaged 845 other sur face craft. During World War I, Marine aviation grew from 5 officers and i iO enlisted men to 282 officers and 2,180 enlisted men. At the peak of World War II there were 15.496 jfficers (10,400 of them pilots) al most 102,000 enlisted men, and -lmost 8,000 Women Reservists in Marine Aviation.
