Four Months ^ KEEP THE CHILDBEN IN SCHOOL With the majgy pressing matters claiming the attention of the people and the urgent need of every hand at the plow that can possibly be mus tered, the temptation is great to slack up on school attendance. This temp tation should be resisted. No child of school age should be permitted to absent himself or herself from the school jjoom. The urge of education was never greater than at present. The absolute, inability of the uneduca ted to meet present day conditions only is this true, but the education must be more thorough now than was ever before demanded The prabable duration of the war Is matter of much uncertainty: A slac kening of the educational drive would be mo6t unfair to the young people and would place them ~at a terrible disadvantage; Would Impose upon them a handicap from whichjnany of them would never recover. If we would have an object lesson ' of the effects of abandoning the edu cation of the young during the was times, we have only to look to the Sou. .thern States of this Republic. During the unfortunate war between the States, when the people of the South were fighting for their very life, edu cation was permitted to languish. The present free school system was then -unknown, all schools being of the "subscription" class. These were largely abandoned, and the "young people permitted to grow up practi. cally without education. The result is still to be seen in many sections of the South. Men who were in their teeqs when the war broke out. just at the age when they should have been applylv themselves diligently to se curing an education, were drafted for worhj on the farms and from there graduated to the ranks, with the re sult that ttiey have gone through life without ihe education that by rights should t fcave been theirs. There are thousands of Uiese men throughout the South today?men of grtfat natur al talents who. had they gotten the training they should have had. would now be cocupyjng high position. But "their illiteracy has been fatal to any real progress. They are honest, pains-' takng porkers in whatever field they may occupy, but their handicap places them in the ranks of the mediocre, and struggle as they jgnay they can -neveT go higher. As illustrative of the point we wish to im^foss let us state that of the en ire country the South is today more than any other section preeminently'^ y.oun& mans country.; It is so from the fact that such a large per cent of^the older peqple are so deficient, in education. The boy or girl can find time to do all the work in other lines that .should "be imposed uf>on them and still keep up their studies.- A few hours each day given to real work will only nerve them the better for their studies. And a few hours work each day is all that should be'required of them under any circumstances. . ? Kep th children in school. They are our future citizens and we can't aff ord to lower the standard. WAlt HYSTERIA Nothing can be more harmful to the business life of the country than for the people to give way to hys teria over the war. There are enough disturbing factors in the business slt '"?ion gcflwing out of the war prob lems. without adding to them unnec essarily. But this we* do whenever we permit thoughts of the war to obi trude into business or cause us to vac illitate or hesitate over ordinary bu siness problems. Business conditions aro now more UiC\n ever the ubject to sudden change hence there is all the more reason that the people keep cool and steady But these charrces are more in me thod than anything else, and a consis tent application to business will en able us to grasp them as they occur and continue to con'Ii'.ct !?ti-ipe-s in safe channels. ^ Another thing. Thorn are men at Washington and elsewhere who are drawing" saTartr* for developing our war policies. Our help in~thls .mat ter is not needed. We can render the greatest aid to out* country In this rtsis by making of our business?it "ttera not what it may be-V<he greatest success possible. If we ?'are farming, the* greatest aid we can ren der will be measured' by the size of our crops. The same in all lines. We can render absolutely^tio aid if we discuss the situation from now tltf next spring. We can, however help to make confusion wore? confounded by abandoning ourselves to hysteri cal discissions and speculations. Another phase of the situation in ^rhlch we shoulfl keep cool and pre* serve an even tenor, is tn the matter of "giving 'iiedeitte to ifehe thousands of senpattoupl repyrts circulated. Many of the?? are the product of idle braiqs and the putgrqvtb of the very <eless discussions we have seught to discourage. The people will be in formed from an authoritative source of all matters that afTect the public welfare. Senatorial reports that have not the sanction of the Washington authorities should be frowned upon and^-dlscouraged. You are always safe in disbelieving and. contradicting all such. Taken by and targe, while condi tions are not normal, still there is really no good reason for hysterical worry. Coolness and common sense, added to increased ag^Ucatkm and energy, will carry us sa?eTyTT7rougE and enable our government to win out in the mammoth undertaking be fore it. CLr BWORK Vwhen. but a few years ago. the mo vement was started to organize the boys and girls, men and women of the land into clubs tor the better fur. thering of various agricultural In terests. the promotors were far fromj dreaming of the great benefit these or ganizations were destined to confer upon their country. Promoted origin ally largely as a matter of pride In achievement for the achievements sake, they have really placed their country in a position to mobillq? her enormous resources for the most tl tanic struggle this world has ever witnessed. The urgency of the food situation has made of these organiza tions a heaven sent boon. They have enlisted the effort that'was heretofore either misdirected or utterly wasted. This year should see such an effort on the part of the various agricultur al clubs as will make the world sit up and take notice. Greater results should be accomplished because they have passed the experimental stage and are now fully established. The preliminaries of organization and ex. periment are past, and the road lies open before them, with sign boards correctly placed and all needed in formation thoroughly worked out and available for all. The day has arrived when the clos est possible cooperation i* necessary between every agency that has to do with the great problem of the world's food supply. Only by such coopera tion can we hope to overcome the great handicaps under which we are already laboring. Every pig club; corn club, vegetable club, canning club, or club of what ever kind should be thoroughly awake and direct its supreme efforts toward the working out of the plans of our government. Your country calls for ?^he beet that in you lies. The oppor tunity and the material are at your hand. A long pull, a strong pull and a pull all together, and the victory will be ours.

The war seems to have reduced ev ery resource of the kaiser except his [ family. That still remains Intact. Hoh .jenzoliero patriotism is of the safe va. rtety. ? Mexico has placed a tax of $8 a head on persons leaving that country for the United States. Ir Carranza. Villa, et al. are fair samples of the population. Mexico couldn't please this country better than by making the tax^ prohibitive.

Probably no nalion in history" has growii to commanding influence in the world over greater opposition that has the United States. Opposi tion is the bread of life tp our people and your red blooded American has a mild contempt for any occupation that contains none of the element of dan ger or chance. If proof were wanted to refute the Insinuation of the Teutons that we would blanch at the dangers from their-submarines. It is found in the fact that* before the inkwashayj^ ing the news of the jinking of the Tuscania enlistments in all branches had jumped to records never reached before. Thousands are flocking to every branch of the service, many of which with the avowed purpose of a venging the heroes so shamelessly but chered. Germany Is due for a very rude a wakenlng as to the real American character. She is due to disc^wr that our aversion of war does **not cover a craven heart, but arises rather from a national sense of justice and right. She Is also due to* learn that when, that sense of Justice and right has been flagrantly abused and Insulted, there is no hesitation on our part to resort to the weapons of force so dear to ?he German heart. - Germany, however, is merely whist ling to keep up her own courage. She sees her doom when our trotfps reach Europe in force. Misses Mattle and Emma Hooker ofJ Louisburg College visited Raleigh thel| past week.
