Dr. James Sprunt and W. H. Sprunt, who haj offered J20.nn0 towards the fund, provided the com- with the life of Dr. ileClure, and laid the message on te heart of every worker present to g-o forth and carry the news to the people and to arouse in them that wpnderful spirit of gratitade that wili make possible the Alexander D. McClure Nurses home. Dr. J. G. Murphy also stirred the the mothers and fathers of future gen erations. Compare-for yourself chil dren reared by parents of highly train ed minds and those reared under con ditions of comparative illiteracy. Which have, the greater chanc in life? The record of the war just, passed should teach us 4 lesson in that respect. An observation about us In everyday, workaday, business life enly adds evi dence in "support of that lesson. . We cannot g-et away from the fact that I education, from its primary depart ments to the intricate branches of its (technical training, is fundamental in our itves. .And isorth Carolina needs it above all things eise! "Development of our primary and high school systems during the past two decades has been one of the mar vela of North Carolina accomplishment. and while these branches still have room for tremendous expansion, higher efficiency, they have so far outgrown the higher branches that we face to day what is perhaps the most deplor able condition of our history. We witnessed expression of it last fall when our youth by the thousands, seeking higher educational training. were turned away because there was scribed, which leaves approximately J Walker Memorial hospital is doing workers by fervently impressing upon them the need of the hour and calling tnunity wili pledge the rest of the I upon the Wilmington public to arouse f10fl,C0. Of course, just about half itself and make possible the success that amount has already been sub- the drive. He declared the James jno room for them In our colleges. We ing a J "witness it today in the condition that forces those students in our colleges to be crowded and packed together in a manner no one of us wouid permit in our homes. As one man has so ably put it, we are pleading for the boys and girls "crowded in and crowded out of our coiieges". Both classes are being denied opportunity; the one out right, the other to train successfully. And if we deny them opportunity, to whom shall they turn for it? Far Sighted Toliey- Xeede4 "Men and women of North Carolina are no longer staggered by the sug gestion that we spend millions for these boys and girls. There was a time when the caJamity howler could convince us that such expenditure Was nothing short of pouring money- intb a rat-hole. But we know now that to spend $20,000,000 upon our higher edu cational and charitable institutions will not only represent a far-sighted policy on our part as a state, but the actual investment will add just that some other "form of taxation, the money now being -derived from the operation of the excess profits tax. to count en the tariff for 200 million dollars more annually than It is now producing, to figure on income taxes yielding 500 million dollars less than last year and to cut the government's expenses by the difference between the tariff in crease and the income decrease SCO million doJlars. Roughly, that means, a million dollars a day. Xo High Tax Rate Disarmament, of course.; would be in stantly reflected in the nation's tax bill, because 'the money now beinr I spent for the army and navy is one off the major items necessitating taxation. The interest on government bonds and j certificates is another big item more j that a billion dollars a year and that.! of course, can not be cut. That item alone is mare than the entire net cost of running the government prior to tie l-war. One thing seems to be decided: There will be no increase in the tax rate on individual Incomes.

At 4 o'clock the funeral service was con ducted in he lodge at Oakda'.e ceme tery by Dr. J. C. Seegers, pastor of! St. Paul's' Lutheran church. The in- I terment -was made in the family plot. t Otto w. Genaust, of this city, half brother of the deceased, "has not as yet ; been able to secure any of the details . of the killing of Dr. Cortlander. ai- ; though he 'has written to the Ballard Drug company, of Memphis, where Dr. ! Cortlander was - employed, asking for further information. The telegram re ceived here simply stated that he had been killed by highwaymen.

" , , Chairman Dean declared that it was the duty of the people to come forward now and see that the $10,000 is raised. "Remember, too." he declared, "that the money already raised will wipe out the $30,000 debt, so that now only the nurses' home is in the balance."
