Mr. McDonald Delivers
Address To Teachere
Prominent Speaker at Greens
boro Convention
Mr. Ralph W. McDonald, head of
the l-'ducation Department, delivered
the principal address before the As-
seciation of Heme Economics Teach
ers Asoeiation at their recent meet
ing in (ireensboro. His subject was
“The Sociological Values of Home
h'conomics and their Attainment.”
Mr. McDonald stressed the fact
that Home Economics courses are
]/rimarily of general or cultural
value in education, rather than vo
cational, which is a secondary aim
.'ind function. He stated. These
subjects (Home making, etc.) came
into the curriculum as their contri
bution to the liberal educaion of pu
pils. No subject has more direct
or valuable contribution to make to
s.ocial stability and progress. The
whole program of Home Economics
in High Schools is being reorga
nized and taught with these values
foremost.”
He stated that since the quality
of familv life ,is the determiner of
the level' of .social life, it is to the
end that home and family life may
h;- improved that Home Economics
courses are included in the eurri-
.uhim
It was noted with satisfaction that
during the present economic crisis
iiianv North C:arolina high schools
have added Home Economies to their
curricula for the first time, indica
ting that this subject is being rec
ognized as making effective contri
butions which days of depression
cannot obscure.
Republican Platform
Favors Tax Reductions
Summary of Views Shows
Hoover Promises Reforms
The Republican platform opposes
direct relief of unemployment of the
individual by the federal govern
ment. However, it promises a con
tinuation of the relief measures that
the Hoover administration has put
into effect. A prompt and drastic
reduction of public expenditures and
the resistance to every unnecessary
appropriation is urged by the Re
publicans and they pledge themselves
to a reconsideration of tax^systems,
federal, state and local, hoping to de
velop better co-ordination, reduce
duplication, and relieve unjust bur
dens. The Republican platform
urges assistance to co-operative mar
keting associations and the revision
of the tariff to maintain protection of
farm products. As for the Banking
System, more stringent supervision
and broader power vested in the su
pervising authorities is the revision
advocated.
In its staunch support of the pro
tective tariff system the Republican
Partv continues, believing that at
this time adequate tariff is partieu-
’ essential to the welfare of the
American people. If it is deemed
advisable by the Tariff Commission,
the Republican party pledges itself
ven higher rates on certain com
modities than now exist under the
Hawley-Smoot tariff law.
The stand taken by the Republi
cans in the prohibition question is
for the sale of liquor to be legalized
by states who wish to do so, with the
provision that the saloon must not
return.
They believe in the .settlemnt of
international difficulties by lawful
methods, with-the protection of na
tional interests wherever threatened.
They stand for the acceptance of
membership in the World Court.

is a business man whose time is much
in demand, he takes particular pleas

its activities and its needs. Specta

George, who arrived at the tavern

founded college at the settlement of
Salem. Greatly does the college ap-

of the ex])ression of generosity and
interest in the college which Mr.
Bahnson has shown.
Dr Woodhouse Reviews
Prospects In Election
Points to Growing Interest of
Women in Politics
Wednesday morning, in the young
people’s meeting, Dr. Woodhouse,
part-time member of the faculty of
Salem College and also a staunch
Democrat by conv'ietion, delivered
an extremely unbiased and non-par-
tisan account of the present political
situation. The ensuing campaign is
peculiarly interesting, due to the
fierce competition and even fighting
abiLty between the parties.
Having attended the National
Democratic Convention at Chicago
this past summer. Dr. Woodhouse
related interesting details of the pro
cedure, the dramatic force, and the
loyalty of our national leaders. She

Relief in Party Platform
The Denu)cratie platform advo
cates the extcnsioTi of federal credit
to the states to provide for unem
ployment relief and the expansion of
the, federal program of necessary
and useful construction such as flood
control and waterways. In govern
ment expenditures they stand for an
inuuediate and drastic reduction of
governmental expenditures by abol
ishing useless offices, eliminating ex
travagance, planning to accomplish
a saving of 25% in the cost of the
Federal.Government. As for'taxa-
tion they have the motto: “A system
of taxation levied on the principh
of ability to pay.” The Democratic
platform urges the enactment of
verv constitutional measure that
will aid the farmer to receive for
basic farm commodities prices in ex
cess of cost of production. Tlieir
improvements of the Banking Sys
tem. Quicker methods of realizing
on assets, a more rigid supervision
of national hanks for the protection
of the depositors, severance of af
filiated securities companies and the
divorce of underwriting schemes
from commercial banks, restriction
of Federal Reserve Banks in per
mitting use of Federal Re.serve fac
ilities for speculation.
The Democratic party believes in a
competitive tariff for revenue with a
fact-finding tariff commission free
from executive interference, and re-
■iprocal tariff agreements with other
nations.
Repeal of the 18th amendment is
advocated by the Democrats, with
the recommendation that the Demo
crats in the different states work
against the return of the saloon.
Pending constitutional action, th''
