The Watchman Joins Century
Club Of The American Press
The Carolina Watchman has been
added to the membership list of The
American Press century club, accord
ing to information reaching the pub
lishers from the New York publica
tion.
The American Press has compiled a
list of all papers, daily and weekly,
that have been published for more
than 100 years. The Watchman is the
only paper that has been continuous
ly published in this state for that pe
riod of time.
According to the list compiled by
The American Press, there are very
few papers whose life has extended to
or beyond the century mark.
The Watchman is now entering up
on its one hundredth year of publi
cation. Later in the year, The Watch
man will publish a Century Edition.
In that issue, the life of The Watch
man, and the exciting periods through
which it has passed, will be given in
detail.
SAYS CHILDREN LACK
ADEQUATE TRAINING
New York—Lack of a sense of re
sponsibility, said Mrs. Cecile Pilpel,
is what is wrong with most children.
Mrs. Pilpel, director of the study
groups of the Child Study Associa
tion of America, mother of four chil
dren and grandmother of three, went
on to explain.
"It is all right to teach children to
be self-reliant. It is all right to teach
them initiative. But most parents are
learning that these things do not de
velop a sense of responsibility in the
children toward themselves or other
people.”
City parents complain to Mrs. Pil
pel that their children are not nice
toward others; that they "take all and
give nothing.”
This attitude, she said, is due to the
fact that children who live in metro
politan areas rarely see the effort that
goes into the production of the things
they want.
"Country children see cause and ef
fect before their very eyes,” she ex
plaind.
"Artificially giving children chores
to do in city homes doesn’t work very
well. The child sees through the pro
paganda,” Mrs. Pilpel added.
"The only way to develop responsi
bility in children, is to teach them to
do things, not because these things
are good for them, but because it is
their duty to do their share toward
helping other people be responsible. It
works better than aoy other theory,”
Mrs. Pilpel said.
BROOKS IS BOOSTED
Greensboro—A. L. Brooks is being
boosted by prominent North Carolin
ians for the United States Supreme
court seat which is being vacated by
Oliver Wendell Holmes. Political lead
ers declare that Mr. Brooks has a
splendid chance to get the place.
SMITH BELIEVES
DRY LAW REPEAL
IS IMPOSSIBLE
New York — The Prohibition
Amendment, Alfred E. Smith—one of
its most severe critics—believes, is in
the Constitution to stay.
"I believe, however, that another
amendment can be added which will
provide that any State may, with the
aproval of the people, take control of
such matters itself,” he said.
"When the Eighteenth Amendment
was adopted the people thought that
all you had to do was to forbid some
thing and that no one would do it.
We have been at it twelve years, and
the President’s own commission says
prohibition is unenforceable because
it lacks public support.
"There has been no organized plan
to defeat the prohibition law. We have
an opposition without a plan—we are
just 'against’ something.”
The former Governor and 1928
Democratic Presidential candidate said
prohibition is a political question.
"They even elect county clerks on
it,” he said. He suggested, however,
that it should be takn from politics
and left to the American people them
selves to decide. A decision on this
question, one way or another, he said,
would "greatly benefit business in
this country.”
"Liquor is flowing freely through
out the country,” he added. “If you
don’t know it any other way, then
you’ll discover it by reading the re
port of the Wickersham committee.”
Historic Painting of Washington Restored to View
r~"V- v--USEPI.■;... I
The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City has yielded to demands that it restore the paint
ing, “Washington Crossing the Delaware”, to its walls. Recently the trustees decided the painting was not
a real work of art and ordered it to be stored in the basement. The painting was made by Emanuel Leutze
a German artist of the American school, in 1851.
