{North Carolina's Rr.nk on Five Factors
Related To Kducational Efficiency?1930
Zane Davis
In ehool property per pupil, North
Car Una rank* thirty-eighth. This
means that only ten States have less
ich->ol property per pupil than we
have. For the average teacher's salary,
North Carolina ranks forty-second.
There are only six states that
pay their teachers a lower salary. In
r?i r cent of attendance, North Carolina
ranks forty-third, leaving only
five starts; with a lower attendance
record. In holding power aUo, North
| Carolina ranks forty-third. That is
to say, the students of North Carolina
quit school earlier than the students
five
states with a lower hodling power
than that of North Carolina. In perient?of
literacy, North Carolina ranks
forty-fourth. That mean's that fortyj
three states have more educated people
than North Carolina. Four states
have less.
Keduction In Total School Expenditures
From the year 1930 to 1934, a total
reduction of 24.3CS, nf sphnni ??.
pcnditures has been made in the
United Staites. North Carolina has almost
doubl d that by making a total
reduction of 44.5%.
For example of this drastic reduction
in North Carolina, we will use I
the teacher-pupils ration in 1930.
In 1930 Wyoming had an average of
54.6 teachers per one thousand pupils
wliil Norbh Carolina had an average (
of 26.7 teachers per one thousand pu- \
piis. This means that in North Carolina
there is an average load of 37.1
pupils per teacher ar.d in Wyoming I
an average load of 18.3 pupils per
fl aclver. The North Carolina teacher's
load is jtf?t double that of the Wyom- ing
teacher's.
Th? average annual salary of teachers
in 1934 is $489. If the average
public school in North Carolina this t
year pays ten dollars a month for
room rent and one dollar a day for I
ing the entire year for clothing, pro- j
board, she will have lef't to spend dur- >
fessional books, health, recreation, t
church, charity, taxes and all other ex

What Thanksgiving Should Mean
To Us
Anna Jean Grant
Thanksgiving! This word should
lean more to us than merely a feast.
Vhen it is spoken we should think
f the Pilgrims, thfcir hardships, and
tieir triumphs.
On November 20, 1021 a little
and of Pilgrims gatltcrcd together
n the cold New England shore to
ive thanks to God f?r the blessings
had given.
The winter before had been a lonp
nd hard one. Many people hail been
cry sick and many had died. The
omei w re open and cold and the
fod was scarce. Then came the
pring. They began planting gardens
nd preparing for winter. Their
opes and prayers were that another
rintAV ntvor 1">
s the last one.
So, when the plentiful harvest was
aih red and the people saw, jloyou*\
that there was enough provisions
>r the winter, do you wonder that
>ey had a Thanksgiving?
veryone has something to be thankll
for. Suppose we had no home,
od, parents or anything. We should
? thankful for them and also, many
her things.
Thanksgiving was holy to the Pilrims.
If w? should use the day for giving
ianks as well as feasting, do you not
link we would be happier?

The house, situated in a narrow
reet, is large and expansive. Through
e entrants? you enter the narrow
Hrbulum. On the right and on the

? door the doorkeeper sits in a
nail room. If you wish to entfcr you
lock on the dioor. Then the janitor
nfastens the door and you walk into
te atrium. The roof of the atrium
tall and has tall columns. In the
iddle of the atrium is the implurium.
bove the implurium ther? is no roof
at open space. Through the open
lace rain falls in the implurium.
eyond the atrium is the *tablinum,
le master's office. Her? is the place
here the family enjoys most of their
