SECTION TWO School Enrollment Reaches Forty Million In United States One Person In Every Four Americans Is a Student Now that all the students are back in school the nose count shows that 40,000,000 students, or one in every four Americans is en rolled in grade school, high school or college. In a copyrighted ar ticle. the editors of Changing Times, The Kiplinger Magazine, re port that the net grain in students this year was 1,200,000, or slightly less than anticipated. The record school construction program has not produced enough classrooms to hold all the students, but progress is being made. Two hundred and fifty thousand new classrooms were needed, and 67,000 have been built. More new school rooms are available than ever be fore. but half-day sessions and crowded classes are going to be common this year. A bright note. About 96,000 of I 38% Os Farm Labor Force In Norifarm Jobs More than 3% million farm resi dents, representing just under two out of five persons in the agricul tural working population, were em ployed in a nonfarm job in April of this year, according to data made public jointly by the U. S. Department of Agriculture and the Bureau of the Census. This is in keeping with a long term trend, and reflects the in | 60 ■ SECOND |M|'| SERMONS ' hHS FRED DODGE i TEXT: “Bad times are occasions a good learner would not miss.” —Emerson. The head of the house was read ing a newspaper article very care fully. Presently he remarked to his wife: “Do you know, dear, I think that there is something in what this ar ticle says—that the cleverness of the father often proves a stumbling block to his son.” His wife, sighing with relief, re plied, “Well, thank goodness, our Bobby won’t have anything to stumble over.” Everyone has his handicap, his j gtumbling-bloek. Some weep and) moan over them. Others accept | them as rules of life which apply | only to themselves, and keep go-J mg. Did you know this rjfiTTTjTl Jrtabout..4 aSMfe .. mm•' _ ji v"*3 bm. jJHHH Less than a day's dasy drive for most North Carolinians is the most popular National park in these United States-The Great Smoky Mountains—a dramatic color spectacle at this time of year—was visited by more than 2Vx million people in 1955. North Carolinians living in resort areas where malt beverages are sold under the State's "legal control" laws can also point to dramatic results in not only maintaining wholesome condi tions for the legal sale of beer and ale, but affording a hospitable "attraction" to visitors and tourists. \ North Carolina Division UNITED STATES BMWIRS FOUNDATION, INC. last June’s college graduates were trained to be teachers. Seven out of ten of these graduates will ac tually end up instructing in grade and high schools. The average sal ary of teachers is now $4,000 a years, about SI,OOO better than in 1950 —a good omen for future teacher supply. But the sour note: even with 65,000 teachers this fall, the schools could hire another 100,- 000 if they were available. The high schools are worried. Within ten years their enrollment will shoot up from 8,000.000 to 13,- 000,000. Two out of three high school students now stick it out through four years. Only yester day half the freshmen quit before graduation. These pressures will make the present problems of high schools look almost trifling in the years ahead. .Colleges too, are unhappy. Not only are there more people of col lege age coming along, but more of them get college educations— •about 30% now as against 14% in 1939-40. creasing decentralization of indus try combined with the big growth in off-the-farm job opportunities in recent years. The figures show 3.3 million per sons in the farm labor force, or 38 per cent of the total, holding down a nonfarm job in the Spring of this year. The comparable fig ure in 1950 was 2.9 million, or 29 per cent. ! | Often we are amazed by the I achievements of a man with a sori '! ous handicap. Ask him and he will tell .you that he pays no attention . to his handicap. It is simply a rule , of life which applies only to him He accepts that fact. He may bf forced to use more effort, but he learns to live with his stumbling block. Often he stands on it to reach even higher. He lives like an adult, not a cry-baby. Whatever your handicap, eonsid er it an added rule which you must learn in your game of life. Master , it. You will certainly win your j share of victories. | Flattery is often a traffic of mu | tual meanness, where, although ( both parties intend deception. J neither are deceived. —Caleb Colton THE CHOWAN HERALD Gurnie C. Hobbs Will Speak At Motor Club Banquet October 24th Mr. and Mrs. Gurnie C. Hobbs of 6808 Parkwood Street, Radiant Val ley.
