Could not the present college generation be made to appreciate the fact that the great est service^ that can be rendered the nation is In guiding the Intellects and the hearU of the 21,000,000 children in our public jchools?

The way to equalize 'educational opportunity is from the bottom up, not from the top down. We must equalize educational op portunity by replacing the worst type of school we have and giving the children in it a chance some where nearly equal to that given children in the best type. About the only good way to do this Is to ab sorb the IRtle schools Into larger ones, to consolidate, centralize, or unionize them. Consolidation has been tried for the last 80 years and whenever intelligently and carefully done it has been a success In the •snse that it has greatly increased the opportunities for education that were being given to the children In the, little school. It is within the power of the large consolidation to meet all the requirements of the finest type of school now known to be in the advance guard of education. The consolidated schools are offer- .ing long terms. ,Many of them are ■employing superintendents on con tracts running more than a year and furnishing them homes on the school site.s so 'that the school may be kept ill touch with the community in the Vacation periods as well as during the session. They not only give the children training in the three R's, nht add work in home economics, manual art^ agriculture, animal hus bandry, and other subjects that can not be given In small schools. They are employing the better prepared and more experienced teachers and paying them more near ly adequate salaries. They are de veloping school plants with audito- CHARLEY AND GEORGE.

A A * FROCRASTINATION. “Putting off," or postponing a piece of work, or ignoring to heed in time a friendly warniiig is often the cause of severe losses from hog cholera, states Dr. f'. D. Owen, the federal, government inspector la charge of the cooperutlve hog chol era work in this state About two months ago this gov ernment Inspector, with Mr'. H. A. Edge, Harnett county agricultural ayent, realized that cholera was like ly to cause quite heavy losses In tho Hafnett county swine herds unlesp energetic steps were taken. There fore a two weeks vaccinating .cam- paii^n was planned and due notice given to all our farmers through the Colonel Simmons withdrew from the special session of the Klonclllum of the Knights ^f the Ku Klux Klan yesterday In Atlanta, thus adding to the wrangle between himself and Im perial Wizard Evans. It seems that those fellows just Kant Keep Kalm. ♦ * • By way of A. P. dispatches it is learned that President Harding left yesterday for a trip up the Yukon. By which he means to try to save himself from a trip up Salt Creek next year. * • « “It is tlfne to practice safety first on the bathing beaches. The, wine p'brson will take absolutely no chances," reads a top-liner in the paragraph column of u daily news paper. Which is true enough.. It 1? dangerous enough in tho water, and much dangerouser on the beach. * * * new.spaper columns and by personal riums, natatorlums, laboratories and letters to farmev-s in every section of the county, urging them to list their herds with the agr/lculi.ural agent for large grounds for work and recrea tion. Thtose things are somewhat dis tinctive of the consolidated school. The consolidated school is promot ing the health of the children by medical Inspection, well prepared school lunches, and sanitary, safe transportation to and from school. TEACHER RECRUITING. At the close of the World War a good deal was said and written about teacher recruiting. But there is Just as much need for it today as there was then. Educational curveys that have been made since the World War . .show that, as a whole, the teaching force Is inadequately prepared, and this condition comes at a time in our country’s history when welf trained, experienced and patriotic teachers are needed as much,' if not more, .. than ever before. Would It not be well for high schools, colleges and universities to Induce their students to consider the advantages of the teaching profession? Should not sin cere teachers pledge themselves to set forth on all occasions every po.s- sible rea.son why the teaching pro fession is attractive? Every successful teacher knows that there are plenty of reasons why the teaching profession Is attractive. Why not urge young people to con sider these advantages? Here are soma of .them; The teaching profession presents an unusual variety of Interests. For ' actual classroom work there is the kindergarten, the various grades of the elementary school, the high ‘school, and the college. Again one may choose to become a teacher of special subjects such as music, physi cal training, or household arts. After a successful experience in classroom teaching there often comes the opportunity for supervisory*and administrative positions. These are almost as varied as {'he classroom postiions. Some of them are; Super- vi.ior of elementary schools, of mu sic. of penmanship, of manual train ing; director of playgrounds, of vo cational guidance, of educational and Intelligence tests; grade principal, county superintendent, and city su perintendent. The summer vacation offers splen did opportunity for self-improvement through travel and through attetuT- ance at summer schools. . It also offers opportunities to teach In sum mer .schools, especially for those who hold administrative positions. The sabbatical leave ,for otudy and travel, now granted by some, city schools and by some colleges. Is well worth considering when summing up the assets of the teaching profession. .Salaries of teachers are in no' way commensurate with the time and atti)ntion when the work was begun. it was shown that although it coats from 36 cents to $1.26 per animal to vaccinate, such being the cost of the material used, and the range, depending upon the size of the 'anlmar, It would be money well spent because of the fact that cholera was known to exist in the iounty.'at that time, and the further known fact that the serum treatment is an ab solutely sure preventive against the disease, but was not so sure as a cur;ative agent. liozens of farmers took advantage of phis work, and about 1,000 swine were rendered immune against hog cholera; but the numbers vaccinated were but a small fraction of the swiiie population in Harnett county. One week after tlj^is campa^lgn was finished cholera broke out upon thO farm of one man who 'had been urged to vaccinate but who had^re- fused, at that time, to do so. But becoming alarmed he sought and se- cur^tid the aid of the county agent, who did inoculate tho herd with the serum alone method, a temporary protection. But as the animals were already sick it v/as not expected that the entire herd could be saved. As a matter of fact. Dr. Owen visited this nerd a few days ago when he made a return trip to Harnett coun ty and at which time it was fpund that' out of six very Ane shoats, one had already died, and three more ap peared to be hopelessly sick. In his opinion this owner will save not morj than two out of his herd of six animals. '' This one instance should bo suffi cient to teach farmers that the habit of “putting off" a piece of work is costly; for' Dr. Owen states that If these six animals, which is healthy would "lie worth at least $20 each, had been'vaccinated at the time they were doing the work, every one of them' would have beep saved and tl;ie coat of such vaccination would not have beer more than $6. Thus the $6 woUld have saved about $80, directly, and at least that much more. Indirectly, as each ani mal should have developed into something like $40 worth of meat by next winter. Moral: Vaccinate your pigs before cholera appears .in your herd, for It steals into your bog lot like a thief In the night and no man can know 'when It is coming. iMeny people' in Lillington will learn with sorrow of the death of Captain Bloodgood in Swunsboro The family have formed acquaint ances that have ripened into friend ship with pleasure-seeking ^pa'rties from this place who have been going to Swanshoro every summer for the past several years.

Phone 54 Vi QUALITY SERVICE Phone 40 FOR Last week la this column appeared an inquiry into the lack of boll wee vil complaint. Hope was expressed that, after aft, the fear of the boll weevil -might prove to be unfounded insofar as Harnett county is con cerned. Reparts coming In this week, however, ure that the bugs are com ing in such large numbers aa to com pletely overwhelm tho fields in some places. It is said that one or two farmers have plowed up several acres of cotton. Which is not a good plan at all. The boll weevH can be killed and cotton raised in spite of it. The methods, of ■weevil .control recommended by the Department of Agriculture should^be 'followed. All those .wishing advice 'Should 'commu nicate with County Agent' Edge.

From Dunn comes the advice that officials of the Harnett .Fair are put ting forth large effort, to make the 1928 {exposition the , “biggest, and best ever." The premium list is now In the hands of the printer. It will be printed In Bunn. The News elu tions people up this way to lay aside the best specimens of the crop for exhibition at the fair this fall. It Is easy for 'Upper Harnett to carry off some of the prizes because of our superior crops. Don’t fail to read The News’ page ad In the premium list. « • * Activities over on Deep River lead to* the belief that coal and elec tric power will be coming from that direction in great abundance in the not distant future. There used to be a saying “See North Carolina First." . That will soon need to be changed to “Know North Carolina First.” And especially the Sandhill section, wh'ich promises at early date to outstrip all other sections. AAA The News is wilting patiently to heat' something further about the progress of the “Carolina Central" railroad." Construction of this proj ect would give this section -of coun-^ try -a tremendous "lift." Can It be that the proposition Is going to be allowed to “slide" Into other terri tory? Let us ho^ not.
