the constitution committee sponsored

school faculty, and wiil be put into
effect as soon as it has been ratified
i*\ the student body and faculty.
THE PEOPLE AND THE SCHOOLS
If there has ever been a time when
we common people needed to get into
action for the purpose of saving the
pu ic schools of North Carolina it is
now?now?this very day.
There is a force *>n our legislature
which is advocating cutting our
schools from eighteen million dollars
to ten million dollars., and they are
honest and conscientious in thinking
that they represent the will of the
people. There is another force there
which is advocating repeal of all taxes
for schools on local property but
wpSph is trying to save the situation
by guaranteeing an eight months education
to every boy and girl of
Nr.rth Carolina 01 school age. This
force would make no difference between
the schools of the city and the
country with respect to salaries, efIficiency,
etc. This force 13 also honest
and conscientious in thinking that
it represents the desires of the people.
Which force is right? Which force
is advocating your sentiments and desires?
It behooves us as citizens who
are interested 211 our schools to arouse
a ourselves, get in touch with our legislators,
and let them know in no
uncertain terms which bill we are for.
"The old cry. raised in shipwrecks,
earthquakes, fires. 'Women and children
first.' inspired and still inspires
to reckless, willing self-sacrifice all
but the meanest and most cowardly
adults. Yet we are in danger now if
we ever Were. And if any considerx
able proportion of our race or nation
has shown any sign of reckless
self-sacrifice to protect the children
of this State from it, at any cost to
themselves, I'd like to have somebody
tell me. Less money is the modern
53E equivalent of earthquakes, fire and

Washington.?What is regarded as j
the bill that will replace the three-jj
cent stamp with the old two-cent \ j
stamp was introduced in the House ji
Friday by Representative Robert L. i
Dough ton of North Carolina, chair- \[
man of the Ways and Means com-!]
mittee. j
His measure provides that the three \

fice department Saturday to discuss i
the matter with Postmaster General j
Farley and was told the Cabinet j
member was out of Washington. He j
was toid at the office that Farley i
had not yet expressed himself defi- i
nitely on the subject, but was oniy :

wise reducing expenses to save reve
