C. E. A. The franklin County Unit of the N. C. E. A. held its first coun ty-wide meeting Saturday, Au gust 21 in the Mills High School. The new and old teachers were welcomed to the county by our superintendent, Wiley F. Mitchell. Mr. Mitchell appealed to the teachers to stress the develop ment of moral, social and relig ious traits as well as the intellec tual ? in other words to strive to develop citizens instead of mis fits, parasites and criminals. "The well trained man conies from the well taught child." The teacher of today is con fronted with" greater responsibil- j ities, better opportunities, higher obligations than ever before in the history of education. The future of America depends on hew well the child of today is taught self-reljance, respect for the rights of others, care of pub lic" property, and allegiance to the one Great Teacher. The guest Speaker. Dr. Walter Patten, president of Louisburg College, iurther impressed upon the teachers the keen sense of responsibility resting upon them for developing the essentials thai go into the making of the youth of today who will be the citizens of tomorrow. He stressed con servation. The conserving of our resources, our time, our energy Unless the child is taught honesty, integrity, self-reliance, loyalty and respect, we have failed in our greatest objective. Short helpful talks were also made by Dr. Smitbwick, county historian, and Mrs. Mltchiner of the Welfare Department. o ?On Pay Dtf, Boy Bond*?
