Eight Counties
Represented
Speaking at the 17th annual
meeting of the Southeastern Dis
trict of the North Carolina Teach-
e r s Association at Fayetteville
State Teachers College, Dr. W. P.
DeVane, former city councilman,
stated that well-trained teachers
cannot hope to succeed in their
education program without full co
operation from the parents who
constitute the bulk of 'the lay
group.
Dr. DeVane, a physician, and
another local layman, B. F. Fer
guson, former president of the
State Congress of Parents and
Teachers, were principal speakers
at the meeting. They pointed out
facts that offer possible solutions
to problems facing the secondary
education program.
Mr. Ferguson stated that dis
trust and misunderstanding be
tween parents .teachers, and the
general public present a dangerous
force that retards educational pro
gress, and that the American child
today faces environmental distrac
tions and temptations that tend to
confuse him and slow his work.
Both speakers stressed the point
that since we aie forced to bring
up our youth and send them forth
to die for Christian Democracy
and our way oi life, we should put
aside all prejudices and misunder
standings and work together to
Dr. DeVane made the S^^'agestion
that mutual and baseless fears
among the teaching personnel
should be abated. He illustrated
the fear point by citing the situa
tion of the teachers fearing the
principals; principals fearing the
supervisors and superintendents;
the superintendents in turn fearing
the people; the people fearing their
children and the children fearing
nobody.
Dr. DeVane urged his listeners
to take an inventory of their men
tal equipment in the light of a
changing social and educational
order. He emphasized the point
that tomorrow’s problem will be
greater and everybody must pre
pare to meet them by acting today
on the important issues facing our
nation.

counties in the district participated
in the open forum following the
main addresses. Other local citi
