North Carolina State Treasurer
Edwin If. Gill told 351 graduating
student* of Appalachian State
Teachers College at commence
ment exercises Sunday that meth
ods and content are two sides of
the same coin.
Teachers fall into the same cate
gory as la wen and doctors, ac
cording to Mr. GUI. They must pre
sent both knowledge and the know
how to apply it. One without the
other makes them ineffective.
All Ml graduates received
teaching degrees 118 getting
bachelor of science degrees, and
U the luster of arte In educa
tion.
In addition to technical knowl
edge, the state official said, it's
important that all children learn
to be intelligent voters and lead
ers for tomorrow and that their
rights should be accompanied by
responsibility. He advised the class
that Sputnik has precipitated crit
icism of our educational system,
but it should not cause us to panic
and copy the Russians.

laude honors were Jo Ann Absher,

Six Little Boys Save
Pennies For Hospital
Heaton, N. C.? The six litUe
boys ihown above, who call them
?elves "The Little Rascals Of
Heaton," had carefully saved their
pennies and ickels until they
had *3.21. They knew that the
nearby town of Banner Elk was
seeking money with which to
build a new hospital which would
serve the boys' community as the
old Grace Hocpltal at Banner Elk
had served in the past. The six
youngsters sat in the corner of the
Heaton General Store where they
frequently held their meetings
and wrote the following letter to
Dr. Lawson Tate, head of Grace
Hospital:
Dear Dr. Tate:
The little boys club of Heaton
wanted to give you all of our
money that we have in our trea
sure. To help you on your new
hospital.
Sincerely yours,
Jimmy Heaton, President
Dr. Joseph H. Carter, President
of the Edgar Tufts Memorial As
sociation, of which the hospital is
a part, was deeply moved by the
boys' unselfish gift. Dr. Carter is
hoping that a large reproduction
of the letter which accompanied
the heartwarming donation can be
reproduced, in the exact boyish
scrawl, framed and hung in the
new $1,900,000 Grace Hospital
when it opens more than a year
from now. The letter would prove,
Dr. Carter says, an inspiration to
every worker in the hospital and
a constant reminder to all, that
the Grace Hospital is, above all, a
beloved part of the Western North
Carolina area.
