MISS BOYINGTON TELLS
OF TRIP TO CAPITAL
On 'Wednesday, February 24th, Miss
Boyington, member of the G. H. S. fac
ulty returned from a trip to Washing
ton, D. C., where she attended the meet
ing of the National Educational As
sociation.
At the convention Miss Boyington was
very much impressed by the discussion
which took place at a thrift booth, where
the man in charge spoke very favorably
on thrift in North Carolina.
He spoke of tlie progress already made
in this state toward the establishment
of bank accounts by the students. He
emphasized the importance of weekly
banking habits, and the part of the stu
dents, mentioning the fact that merely
having a bank account does not mean
that a person saves systematically.
Miss Boyington learned a great deal
in connection with the making of maps
and notebooks, both of which are being
emphasized in the teaching of civics and
history.
Aside from tlie con\-ention a visit was
made to the Capitol where Congress
was in session, and MisS Boyington had
the pleasure of hearing a discussion in
which Senator Simmons, of North Caro
lina, took an active part. The bill had
to do with the inheritance tax, and it
vitally affected Duke University. The
money will be exempt from such a
only by peace can it continue to he
ujierior. 'Hie tliird point is tliat peace
is necessary for tlie commonwealth of
nations. Differences of opinion between
countries may lie dealt with in the same
sensilile way as disputes between indi
viduals or states. The world court is
for peaceful adjustments of national
and international difficulties.”
“.\11 now believe in a I.eague of Na
tions or some similar association. Presi
dent Coolidge said recently, “It has been
proved that we cannot place our main
reliance on forces. We must cultivate
the thought of _construction and not de
struction."
Dr. 'W’atkins showed the students a
national poster bearing tlie inscription,
“America First.” The thought of the
jioster was America first, not in pride
and arrogance, but in sympathy and
tolerance.
He ended liis talk by saying, “I hope
tliat you Greensboro High School Stu
dents will be citizens of the higher pa
triotism."
