N- rth Carolina - the only state in the nation that has . school! system of 12 gr.i.ies operating for ti ne month- of the year almost entirely at the expense of the state government Annuall ' i s fleet of 4.815 ehool buses carries approximately 333,800 children 15.600.600 miles during the school term from poitv.- near their homi s to the consolidated schools. The State's educv. : na system, includ ing its transpo xtion facilities, new represents <?n investment of S129. 000 000 :n buildings, equip ment and vehicles and is operated at a cost of approximately S50. 000.000 a year. To get the fullest return from this investment and this operat ing cost, all children of the State between the ages of six and 21 who have not completed high | school should take advantage of the full school term. Those chil dien between the ages of seven and 15 HO after this yean should, in accordance with the law, be required to attend school, unless they are excused under the rules and regulations governing com pulsory attendance as adopted by the State Board of Education.

Failure to attend tchool ; should be permitted only when there is a valid excuse such as ill ness or other unavoidable causes. The schcol jaw definitely places upon pa cn.s or guardians the responsibility of seeing that their children a' tend school regularly and provides a penalty of a fine 1 for continued failure to do so. In every county of the state. I c urt officials are familar with certain families cf the community v. .10 are cha ged each year with wilful failure o send heir chil o"cn to school. There are certain ;.. inces in which families may ;? ' be aWe to provide the pr.pei J e'.?thing for their children in wew i.f limited family ir. - mi'.

The county department of pub welfare also will cooperate in t . s respect and p 0V;d", within iur.itatijns of funds ava lable for Kit purpose, whatever aid it can ' : the child. Tlie w.'lfare agency has money contributed by the county, the S ate, and the nation- 1 a governments to give certain I ltlatives with whom t lie ciii'd is iiv 11s financial assistance for the i. tld as long a- the child remains .1 school up until 18 years cf age." Tiicse funds are p.ovided under 'he Social Security Act for aid to dependent children wh?n there is loss of the normal bread w inner. For example, if only the mother remains to support her family, he will not have to keep the tildest child out of school to care for the younger . nes during the hours she might eb working. Tliese funds for aiding dependent chil dren will be available as long as the children of school age continue their education. This assistance may be obtained by application to the superintendent of public wel fare in the county. Recent modifications in the law permit school units to set up special officers to check truancy and absence cases and provide f >r their pay through fines or other local funds. Some school units have taken advantage of this new law and others, doubtless, will do so in the future. In most Xorth Carolina counties, however, iie county welfare superintend ent is still the chief school attend ance officer. In the years folowing the first world war the county superintend ent of schools in all except a few more populous localities of N rth Carolina, was also the superintend ent of public welfare; and from this time on one of the duties of the welfare head was enforcement ol school attendance. In those instances where the two jobs were combined, it was not difficult for the welfare superintendent to keep in touch with the truancy cases because they were daily brought to his attention in his school duties. With the expansion >f both the public education and the public welfare programs in the State in the past few years, however, the problem of enforc ing school attendance has been in creasingly greater. Where no special attendance officer has been employed the educational system has relied on the welfare units to handle truancy cases. Sometime in the future, no doubt, a more effective enforce ment system will be worked out in North Carolina, but until that is done the county welfare depart ments will share with the schools and special officers the job of keeping North Carolina's youth in the classrooms. Parents will help greatly in taking care of this prob lem by asuming their share of responsibility in making certain that their children are in school or that they have a reasonable excuse for not being there. All North Carolina public schools are now open for the 1945-46 school term. They offer our youth an opportunity for advancement that should not be disregarded, if the boys and girls of today are to Religious Education Week To Begin On September 30 Chicago ?

Pn sident Tru man wrote to D Ross. "At a me when stars hang in the win- i dows of the Nati n's homes to j honor the absent warriors; when milli n.s of Americans live in temp orary homes and in migrant cen tt rs while they work at war jobs, ii i- important to urge that the religious education of the country's children be fostered and extended I is likely that there are millions cf youngsters who need initial and basic religious instruction. They should receive it and learn cf the Fatherhoo.i of God and the E: theihood of Man." Declaring that "every thinking person is comforted by the know ledge that Divine Guidance directs the world," President Truman stited: "During times of great spiritual stress, this awareness of Provi dence is especially manifested. Chaplains with our armed services report constantly on the increas ed interest in religion among our fighting men. On the home front, too, there is increasing attention to religion. Probably never before in our history have our people shown such deep and abiding faith." Ninety per cent of American Protestantism will take part in community observances of Relig i us Education Week through the 40 denominations and 183 state, city and provincial councils of Churches and religious education, which are member agencies of the Intevnational Council, Dr. Ross has announced.

As the flag went up a 21-gun , salute boomed from the guns of the Wingfield, the USS McConnell, on which the terms had just been signed, and the USS Baron, all de stroyer escorts. Jaluit, by-passed as other islands in %he group were captured, was reduced to impotentcy by air-sea bombardments the past 18 mon this. The atoll was pockmarked with craters from end to end. Even worse was the iron block ade the Navy threw about the place. Not one ship reached the garrison in more than a year and the Japs, haif-naked and poorly fed, subsisted on what they could grow. Of the original garrison cf 2,600 men. about 2,000 survive. develop into the leaders of the common-wealth tomorrow. Regu lar school attendance by each boy and girl is the first step in getting the most out of the opportunity which the school provides. HEADACHE ?

H. N. Wells chairman. Chero kee c unty AAA committee, says. "From all reports", he said, "there is a definite prospect for j continued high demand of food] for use at home and for the peoples | of the starving war-tom coun tries. To meet these demands in 1946. we must lay the ground work now by seeding every bare acre to a cover crop." "Protection of our soil, during i the coming months when rains j and freezes will cause leachins and washing away of plant nut rients. is a "must" in the farm pro gram," he continued. "Besides p-'ctecling the soil, these legumes plso store fertility by adding nit ro dent that has a direct effect upon next year's yields of the crops that ' follow." Wells, added. He ann >unced that austrian' winter peas, and ryegrass are be- ' ing furnished to the farmers in i he county through the AAA of- ' lice, and that payments will be | made not to exceed S4 per acre for , Austrian winter peas, crimson [ clover and vetch; and not to ex ceed $2 per acre for annual rye grass. A total of 582 acres. 3.7 per- ? cent o fthe cropland in the county 1 was seeded to winter cover crops 1 !ast year. Wells stated that he would like to see this acreage increased to 10 percent this fall 1 with farmers keeping in mind that payments are made for establish- 1 ment of a good growth and good ' stand of these legumes. Wells emphasized the following J specifications for best results: < It well-prepared seedbed. < 2 ? full seeding of adapted seed. <31 appli cation of liming material.
