To the People of North Carolina: The week of June 10-16 has been designated as National Recruiting Week*, for tha United States Marine Corps. Four thousand enlistments have been called for during that week. This number of recruits, ' am informed, are absolutely neces sary in order th.it tins efiici.-nt branch of the Nation's military ser vice may do the job assigned to it now with the same thoroughness and high degree of efficiency as has marked the Vork of the Ameri can Marines on every »,ea anil in every land from 17!>S crucial hour. North Carolina's quota of recruits needed is only 70. Of this number . the Raleigh recruiting statim is asked to/furnish 15 men; the Dur ham recruiting station 15 men; the Winston-Salem recruiting stall in 20 mon; and the Charlotte recruiting station 20 mon. 1 call upon the peopl,• of these four cities anil of trie whole State to rally to tho Marine Corps during the week designated. Indeel, it ought not to require a w.'ek, a day should be long enough to raise the State's full quota of r.-cruiU for this great arm of our country * defense. Tho Marine Corps is one of the oldest and most efficient branches of the military service, and any young man should count himself fortunate to be enlisted in it. The Marine is a soldier and sailor too I The advantages he has in the. va riety of experience and training 1 are unexcelled, lie is drilled as an r infantryman; ho is trained as a . navaj gunner; he becomes a good lield artilleryman; and he learns to I manipulate tho machine gun. lie is in the landing party from war r ships and i s the first to go on ex peditionary duty. Surely the young man who. wants to serve his eoun -3 try in the hour of need cannot find j a better place to render effective sorvieo than In the United States ' Marine Corps among the soldiers ' that go to sea to defend the rightH l of Americans and maintain the lion . or of tho Plug throughout tho world. I, therefore, urge the young men ' of North Carolina to present theni - selves at the various recruiting ; stations in tho State to volunteer ! for this serv ice on the morning of Juno 11th. I tiliicerely hope that the young manhood of the State will respond quickly to this call that North Carolina will be able to report her full quota rai* d in a i single day. , T W HICKKTT, Mover.ior TWO AGED MEN DIE.

It is a significant and funda mental truth lhat is couched in th> statement, "Any thing is what it is by virtue of its connection." It is rather early to see that many \lhings are modified and others are mpulded and made by I heir sur» rouridtngs or environment. One tree is one-sided by virtue of its proximity to another tree; no other tree is round anil symmet rical because it is not near any other trco. One tree is small be cause it grew on riie barrel mountain-peak; another tree is large because it grew in the rich valley. One town iiTmaimfactur ing because it has water power; another town is mining because it lias ore. And were it not for these two natural resources both towns themselves could not have been built. l!ut in their stead we would see field or forest. And thus oil and on we might trace such influences. Life is made possible by keep ing upa connection between what ever contains that life and its en vironments Growth in life, and development is made possible by keeping up a very strong connec tion between that which coutain* the life and its environment. The lish must imbibe the water or In dies. The human being must breathe the air or he perishes. Tho plant must keep its connec tion with mother earth or it passes away. Life and growth—a char acteristic of life-—are dependent upon there being a vital connec tion between the living and its environment. No school will live and grow and develop unless there Is a strong and vital relation between it and its environment. A school can no more exist without the support and co-operation of its surroundings than the birds of the air or the fish of the sea can live without feeding upon the ele ments of their respective regions. There is even a far greater need for a vital relationship between the school and community. Be cause the school exists for the community and therefore the com munity should be supporting and working for the school. It is h reciprocity business between the school and theconiniuuity—a busi ness of giving and taking. A school that would succeed and succeed most must reach out and touch and benefit the best way possible the most people. It must not pray Ilia prayer for mo and my wife, my son John and his wife, these four and no more if there are any more. A school should benefit every person in the oouimiiuity, it should strengthen every business in the community, it should feed and foster every community interest. The school Is a social factor and benefactor. It has to do with people and the people's interests. If the school is to be a living institution serving the people as il should, the teacher must know the community and the people anil bring the two, the school and the people, into hearty vital co operation. This can be done only by the teacher going among the people. She must know them, know their conditions,, their as pirations, their life. She must go with eyes open. She must go with hands and heart wide open ready to serve and to help. She cannot do this and go to some show in a neighboring town one evoning, somewhere else as remote from her work and people the next evening and then go home to a distant neighborhood the next afternoon, on Friday, to spend the week-eud and not come back till late Sun day morning, Hut on tho other baud the teacher will be among her people—learning them, loving them, helping them, teaching them—literally busy about her Father's busiuess. The teacher, if teaching In tho country, will soon learn the way to the community church. If she can sing, and every teacher should be able to slnjf. she will help in the music. Sho will not treat the ser vice as if it were their service but she will treat it like It is our ser vice. One of the best places in all the world to learn people is nt the sacred shrine meet* with heart and tears are mingled with tears. The teacher should weep with her people when they weep and rejoice with them when they rejoice. Sho should live with them Sho may, and many times should, direct the social life. Iter presence will often add Interest. It Is oasv ship. And should social life be ship. And should to social life t>e wanting she can and should raise its standard and make it whole some. The toucher should make the school a community center. L-'t it be the common meeting place for pleasant and profitable entertain-' ments. I-et it be the mooting place for an evening in music or recita tion, and also for weighty leonires of instruction on the vital Issue* of life anil progress. The school should be a city set upon a Mil 1 sending forth light and life at al times to the people of all ages. The class-room work itself should grow out of and be adapted to th community and community life. The , school should be of the community, by the community and for the com munity and should never tj • sepa- | rated from it. The course of study | should be determined ex- I *tont by the community and its ] needs. Tho library should contain books bearing information upon the , work and industries of the commu nity. Illustrations should be gath ered from the. community and its | life that they may illustrate. Study ( geography at the school house ( door, down in the valley near by, , and all around about the school. ( Study the community history. Tie it up • with other history. When you study arithmetic measura the school room floor, the school grounds, the near by plot or fi?ld. Measure the length of the road or street. Apply your work in the school room to the! environment or surroundings; draw your illus trations from the community be cause only known illustrations il lustrate. Let there be the most \ital co-operation between the school and the community that real light and life may be in constant exchange and both the school ana the community may be built and made bigger and bitter. Summer School at State College. Cor. of The Gleaner. West Raleigh, N, G\, June 4. The State Hoard of Examiners and Institute Conductors was au thorized by the recentj.cgislature. The duties of this Board are to conduct Teachers' Institutes throughout the State; to certify all County Superintendents, Su pervisors, Principals and Teach ers; to make out examinations which are held all over the State, at specified times, and to grade these examinations. When the Governor appointed the members of this Board which is made up of three men and three women, he chose the three men from the staff 'if the Summer School at the State College. Although subsequently at the request of the Governor and Superintendent of Public In struction, one of these gentlemen, Mr. Allen, has been released in order that he may carry out Insti tute work' elsewhere, the other wo gentlemen, Mr. Giles and Mr. Ilighsmith, will be connected with the Summer School during the en tire session. Mr. Ilighsmith will conduct a course on educational psychology, and the principles of teaching, and will hold Teachers' Institute June 12-25 and July 12-25, for the benefit of those unable to at tend thfe entire session of the Sum mer School. Mr. Giles will discuss the rural school and the rural community and the organization of the insti tutions. lie will also conduct a course on the suject of class-room management and will supervise the Practice School, a feature of the summer session. Thus the Summer School of the State College has the unique dis tinction of being the only one in the State at which those seeking to obtain or renew Teachers' Cer tificates can St udy tindera portion of the Hoard of Examiners and Institute Conductors. Hut even this opportunity will occur again, for when these members assume their new duties their presence will be required elsewhere during the summer. It is to be hoped especially that the County Superintendents will take advantgage of this oppor tunity and rooms have been re served for them. Catarrh Cannot IU?

'HT> , SUNDAY SCHOOL. .esson Xl.—Second Quarter, For June 10, 1917. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. r«xt of ths Lesson, John xlx, 19-30. Memory Verses, 26, 27—Golden,Text, I Cor. xv, 3—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Bteerns. I'llate seems to have tried again and again to release Illm, and big wife also sent blm word to have nothing to do with that Just man, for she had suffered many things In a dream be cause of Him (Matt, xxvll, 19). Peter testified after Pentecost that Pilate was determined to let Him go (Acta 111, 13). He evidently thought when be asked them to choose between Christ and Barabhaa as to which be Bhould release unto them that they would surely ask for Christ. But they cried out, "Not this man, but Barab bas,'' although Bnrabbas was a robber and murderer (chapter xvlll, 40; Acts 111, 14). Pilate's fear to touch Him in creased when the Jesus His crime was that He said He was the .Son of God (verse 7). When Pilate asked Illm about tbls Jesus at first mode no reply, but n little later said to blm, "Thou couldest have no power against Me except it were given thee from above; therefore he that .deliv ered Me unto tliee hath the greater sin" (verse 11). The first part of this reply must re fer to the will of God, the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, that which Ills hand and His counsel deter mined before to be done (Acts 11, 23; lv, 28), the last part to the high priest who delivered Him to Pilate. There are degrees of sin and degrees of pun ishment for the lost, as there are de grees of rewards for the righteous (I.like xll. 48; Rev. xxil, 12). When the Jews cried out, "If thou let this man go thou art not Caesar's friend; » • • we have no king but Caesar" (verses 12-15), Pilate took water and washed his hands before the multi tude, saying. "1 am Innocent of the blood of this Just person; see ye to It." Then the people said, "His blood be on us and on our children." Then be released Barahbas. scourged Jesus and delivered Him to be crucified (Matt xxvll, 24-20). Why did he scourge Him after be declared Him innocent? Why did he deliver Illm to the brutal sol diers to be mocked and spit upon and so 111 treated? liven a guilty man Is protected from Injustice at the hands of his enemies as a rule. If we cannot reply to the why, let each one at least say It was all for me, the Holy One of God suffering In my stead. When we see the Hon of God, the Creator of all things, the Judge of all mankind, re ceiving such treatment ut the bands of the civil ami religions authorities and remember thai they are Jet the same today, what should be our -ttltude to them? When we hear I'llate say, "Be bold the man!" and "Itehold your king!" (verses 5-14) we tbluk of the true testimonies of the Spirit, "Behold the man whose name Is Tlie Branch!" and "Behold, thy king Cometh!" (Zecb. vl, 12; lx, !)). So Pilate delivered Jesus to be cruci fied. and they took Illm and led Illm away, and He. bearing Ills cross, went forth I verses 10, 17). They met one Simon, a Cyrenian, coming Into the city and compelled him to turn about and help Jesus hear the cross or bear it for Hitn (I.uke xxlii. 20). We remember that lie said. "If any man will come after Me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow Me" (Matt, xvl, 24). Let us not forget that the cross Is never anything beautiful, but a cruel thing signifying a painful ami lingering death. Many women fol lowed lllui, bewailing and lamenting Him, but He told them not to weep for Him. hut for themselves and their children because of the things thnt would come upon them (I.uke xxlii, 27- 31). navlnif*4eacbed Golgotha, they crucified Illm and two Evildoers with lliin. one o|i either side and Jesus In the midst, ait'l thus He was numbered with transgressors, all for me. The four soldiers divided His gar ments among them, but for His coat they cast lots, thus fulfilling another Scripture (verses 23, 24; Pa. xxil, 18). Perhaps three more awful words were never written than these, "They cruci fied Him" (verse 18), when wo consider who He was that they crucified, the Prince of Life, the Lord of Glory (Acts 111. 15; 1 Cor. li, 8». and that lie submitted to lie a curse for us that we might not perish (Gal. 111. 13). We huve in our lesson three of His seven sayings on flic croaa (20, 28, 30); but. taking them Iu order from all the rec ords. we have first forgiveness, even for those wlio crucified Him; theu glory for even a penitent thief; then provlslou for Ills own mother, suggest ing the supply of all we can need be tween salvation nnd glory. The fourth was at the beginning of the darkness, "My Grid, my God. why hast thou for saken Me?" and the other three at the cloae of those awful six hours, "1 thirst," "If Is finished," "Father, Into thy bands I couimlt My spirit." When the Jews asked Pilate lo have tho bodies removed that tliplr Sabbath day might not bo desecrated (oh, the utter hypocrisy of It all!) the soldiers broke the legs of the two malefactors, but found JCMIIS dead already, so (hey did no( break Ills ICES, bul a soldier pierced Ills side, and thus two Scrip tures were fulfilled.

According to the State Board of Health, North Carolina is now interesting herself -in a new form of patriotism but a real one. She is going after conditions which make babies sicken and die, par ticulaily in the summer, and which ignorant mothers have been bat tling with ever since they have been mothers. A number of towns and communities in the State are now engaged in, or have been, or will be, in the next few weeks, conducting a Qaby Week Cam paign. Oohfsboro, Black Mountain , and Rocky Mount are conducting i such campaigns this week. Aber deen and Charlotte held theirs last week, and the whole of Edge | combe county, including Tarboro, 1 1 is interested in one for the white i babies next week, and one for the I colored babies the week follow | ing. Other towns that have done work of this kind this summer are Ahoskie and Hickory. Babies mean more to this coun try today than they use to. The present war will cause them to be considered in even more valuable terms, a* is now the case in Eng land, France and other warring nations. Baby savins in England is one of that country's chiefest concerns. Countrys that are every djy being depopulated are forcibly realizing that babies of today are the citizens of tomorrow and that the nation's destiny nests upon the character and fiber of its new generation. The number of babies saved is not the only requirement neces sary to meet this situation. It will be the quality of the men and women that will count most in the next generation. Undeveloped diseased bodies, dwarfed intel lects and devitalizing defects car ried from youth to old age cannot i furnish the brain and brawu that is needed today or that will be needed for the work of tomorrow.

The State Board of Health calls attention to the fact that the form of dysentery that has already ' nvisited several towns in the State i and caused the death of a number of children, including four in one family in one town, is a germ dis ease that is controlled and pre vented by practically the same methods as typhoid fever. Like typhoid, it may be water borne, milk borne or fly borne, or it may be contracted from soiled hands, through unclean food, or in numer ous other ways. The main point to remember about it, says the Board, is that it is a filth disease having the same course as typhoid, spread in exactly the same way and is there- ' fore prevented in the same way. ] Consequently, open back surface closets, flies and unclean hands become the principal factors to be reckoned with in its control. In cities aud towns where there 1 are sewers, and where sanitary J laws are enforced the danger from this source is not so great. But in the country where there are no 1 sewers and where flies raise in abundance, there is always a very great danger of an outbreak of this disease. The best place to control the spread of amoebic dysentery, ac cording to the Board, is the sick room. In addit'on to the neces sity of the utmost care and clean- I liness on the part of the nurse or attendant, the most essential thing is the proper disposal of all body discharges. The doctor's ' orders should be followed to tha letter in this matter as this is the original source of every case of the disease. i Digging a well on the farm of W. H.
