LAST WEEK OF SUMMER SCHOOL
Randolph County (e Have an Eaienpcm- -

Summer School Directors.
.The Randolph county summer school,
which has been in session since July 28 ,
is now closing the last week.
' Much1 good has been, accomplished :
during the school, and the dawn of a .
brighter day is just ahead of the school
system in Randolph county. . .
The last -week of the school has .been
devoted to examinations. - ; 5 ,
Dr. G. M. Cooper, director of public
health, lectured on Wednesday of last
week, August 13th, on the subject of
examining school children. Dr. Coop-
er will bring the North Carolina Emer
gency Hospital into the county as sooa.
as possible for the benefit of the school'':
children. . The" entire cost of this hos
pital will be $12 to those who are able
to pay, and entirely free to those who
cannot pay. There will also be a den
tal examination and children from 6
to 12 years old will have their work
done free of charge. -This hospital will -
have three nurses, the third being tha
county nurse. It will contain fifteen
cots and other modern equipment Chil
dren are" kept in the emergency hos- .
pital at night.- Some of the best pny
sicians tf the state will do the work ia
this hospital. . ' 4
Mrs. Hargrave, county educational i
nurse, will go to Raleigh on the last of -August
to be with the public board of
health for three days to consult .the ;
board as to the welfare of Randolph ,
county. ' . ' -
Miss Kosa thrnfeld, state director or
public health, Raleigh, met with the :'
teachers Tuesday and discussed waya
and means of the prevention of typhoid '
fever, how to secure a county nnrse, :
and the benefits of a county nurse to
the county.
One of the most interesting lectures
given by the summer school directors,
was a lecture by Prof. Sentelle Tuesday
on civics. .
Mr. Sentelle mentioned wavs ; and
plans, whereby the great aim of civic
efficiency is to be realized, what con- (
stitutes a good citizen. He emphasized
the great failure of teaching civics had v. , ,
been due, first, to a lack of knowledge ' , '
or, citizenship on the part of teachers, - .
and lack of text books fol; school use. fl ,
Few books written on methods cf t '
teachiMlaaanshSo,4H;4lso saldbe -fc'
lore" we can hope to realize the great
aim or civic efficiency the teaching
force must be educated in their parti- ' ,
cipation and responsibilities along civ
ic lines. ' )
The public has not demanded and
paid for women and men of maturity
and professional training who are able
to lead the children and community
forward in civic efficiency as an impor- '
tant goal of education. . s5
Realizing as teachers that we have
failed in teaching citizenship as we
should, in the schools, we hope to rem
edy this by giving this subject an equal
standing with others in the course of
study, using text books v;ritten for 1
school use that children will under
stand and be interested and finally ex
periments in school (self government) -v1
should be tried taus Diomotintr a fppl.
mg of participation on the part of the
future citizenship. yv

Two United States Aviators Prisoners
of Mexican Bandits
Lieutenants Paul H. Davis and Har
old G. Peterson who have been prison
ers of Mexican bandits for the past
week were rescued early Tuesday
morning by Captain Matlock of the
American cavalry. These lieutenants
were flying in Mexico when something
went wrong with their machine and
they were forced to land. They were
apprehended by Mexican bandits, the
leader of whom it seems had worked
on a railroad in Kansas and had lost a
hand and foot The lieutenants were
forced by the bandits on the threat of
.death to send messages to the United
States demanding a ransom of $15,000.
