THE ELECTION XEAIIS
Tuesday is electioi day in North
Carolina as well as in five other
states, and the campaign for and
against the repeal of the eighteenth
amendment has finally waxed hot in
most sections of North Carolina. Senator
Reynolds is putting on practically
a one-man campaign. but :ccen'
additions to his line of thought
come in the persons of Senator Bailey,
Governor Gardner and Congress-1
man Doughton. These, however, are
not in the campaign, but their statements
will be felt. The drys. with
Clyde Hcey, Cameron Morrison. Judge
Webb and others, are particularly
well fortified on the platform, and
it now appears that a giKMl-sized
vote will come out.
Impartial observers have it that
all states voting on the seventh will
go for repeal, but in some sections
voting will be light, due to the fact
pra&y ? - tbat the eighteenth amendment will
be officially out or the CouotltuRsn
twenty-four hours before North Carolina
shall have held her ratifying
convention. This is not a heartening
prospect for ilie drvs, but they retain
the ?aniri* ii\onip..,i
- o 1> fP?""
the belief that ratification will bring
State repeal.

TWILIGHT OVER NEW YORK
(Charleston News and Courier)
New York is a magnificent instittition,
in some part economically productive;
it is a trading facility, a center
of art and science, and withal the
greatest show on earth for the upkeep
of which huge If unconscious
sacrifices by the American people
mui be and are made.

Facts About Our Schoc
By GUY H. HILL
Here is a subject that I should 1

' cardinal principles of education,

the aims of education What at

the school. This matter of citizen;

in a functioning republic. In o

figures when they needed experii
akin to those experiences which i

lifelike situations. Hence, when i
confronted a problem that they
; never confronted before, the* km
edge or facts they had stored
failed them. There was no carry-i
from the fact to the reality.
! chances are those boys and girls v
good citizens in school while t
were being pumped full of facts,
they were not put into situat
which would cause them to learn 1

What can parents and patron!
the school do to help build this

as a parent I shall have to bee
