This rule, in effect, will apply to the civic organization which is going to do its best for the community this summer in the tourist business. A bureau of information is going to be maintained during the season that people are wont to spend some time in Transylvania county, and this in formation bureau is going to have posted at a very convenient place for the secretory or attendant to see, a list of those (H'ople who have paid the fiddler. * " * I Mr. and Mrs. John Doe. who will have been attracted to this section by reason of the fact that the \V el come to Brevard organization has been successful in interesting them the extent in this section that they have decided to spend their vacation |1( re, will naturally come first to the Welcome to Brevard headquarters or information bureau, and there ask for a place that will suit their pai tieulur fancy or need. It will be a mandatory duty of the attendant *o look on the list and see just who hns such a place in the <-ouniy and Mr. and Mrs. ]>... will be referred to Mr. or Mrs. Paid-up's place. This step is being taken, and right fully so, at the insistence of those , mmunity-minded people who feel that they have beer carrying the load too l.mg with the other follow joining in on an equal benefit. Have you taken out a membership in "Weir ,ue to Brevard . It only costs five dollars. Well, the snow did one good thing, at least. It stopped some people front jioit g fishing before the season opened. There’ll come a time when women will find that they can get along fine without their male specie and will find a way to wipe the gentle men off the earth, according to an Knglish scientist. Oh yeah! Ladies i ver in Greenville think people ought to be made to stop spit ting on the sidewalks. It they could count the half million splotches on uptown sidewalks in Brevard each morning they’d very probably try to extend their efforts across the moun tains. We propose either a wide open fishing season running from Jan. 1 to Jan. 1 or a more stringent en forcement of the regulations now ..;i the bis ks. A fellow who is too much of a sportsman to fish out of the season hasn't much of a chance the way things are now. Ye editor, being a dry of the first order, naturally refuses to carry the little bottle of “snake bite medicine’’ along when he goes fishing, long ago having gotten over the idea that "moonshine” was a neqessary pro autii n against snake bite, and now along comes the state board of health in the official “Health Bulletin” for April and says emphatically that whiskey is not a good remedy for snake bite. Dan Tompkins, estimable editor of The Jackson County Journal, set forth that there is a “nigger in the wood pile” and proceeds to indict this group and that individual left and right, un- ’ til he has sureiy hit the spot, though with what might be termed a “much i scattern load” of buckshot. Brother Tompkins is all stirred up over the completion of Highway 106 from Cashiers to Sylva, and wants every body named in his indictment to “come forward and desist if not guilty” of interfering with plans to link Sylva with Walhalla and points south with a hard surfaced highway. 0. K. Brother Tompkins, go get 'em, snake all the niggers out of the wood piles, but how about being a little more specific next time in just where the “woodpile” is in which the nigger is hiding? NEED MORE SPELLING BEES Our people are too fast getting away from the community feeling that should pervade, with “big inter ests” or things of wider scope grad ually supplanting the home-y feeling that used to be such a great asset to communities. Running of the schools, churches, and the county is, gradually being pushed off onto a small and some times distantly located group with re sultant loss to the individual com munities. One reason for this is because we have not been having the little senu social gatherings at church and school house where problems of purely local interest are apt to bob up and be dis cussed. As a remedy, in part at least, we recommend that follow-up of the Selica a spelling bee or other like gatherings be held more often, thus bringing neighbors together for short period? and at the same time furnish ing a brand of entertainment that is far better than some we could point to. How about reviving the old custom; of wood-choppings, house-coverings, quilting parties, and so-forth? Let s try becoming acquainted with our next door neighbor and thinking out some of our home problems instead of letting them just rock along. How’d you like to have your chil dren taught in school by a bunch cf cold naturcd, non-resfconsive, self ish individuals like the school au thorities down at Wilson, North Carolina, are evidently trying to h'.re as teachers. “1 promise not to fall in love.” is one stipulation in a school teacher’s contract in that fair town that is bidding to be THE tobacco center of the country, and further the lady school teacher must promise not to go out with any y ung man except “in solar as it may be necessary to stimulate Sun day school work.” Oh, me! oh. my! what a bunch of doldrums those school board fellows down there must be. AL STRALIAS S(H(>ui. A DM IS ISTRATIOX i IMitor The Times: In the Journal of Kducation of April 22 is a contribution by John I Francis Cramer, superintendent of schools of Grants Pass, Oregon, in ' which he describes the school system of Australia. This system of school : management, as described by Supt. j Cramer, is well worth careful con I sideration, especially by those who '• have the responsibility, the duty anil th- privilege of determining the legal education policy of the state. Tlv continent of Australia is com posed of only six states. These are united in a federal government in many inspects like our forty-eight states from the government of the United States. But instead of in numerable school districts as Me have in this country, the entire con tinent of Australia has only six school districts, eac hsiate censtitut ine- milv one school district. The .itale < f Victoria is given as a model -date-district. It has no surplus uncheis and no teachers unemployed, j it has no special school taxes and ; vet its school term is longer than 'inns. It has no school board mem bers. The teachers are civil service jrmph vees. secure in tenure, with re IMremenl pensions provided, and promotion and assignment cared tor | through civil service regulations. I The entire support of the educa •i na! sy-teni of the state is paid |. ut of the consolidated revenue «d i tne suuu. | 1 ike ail the other Australian states, Victoria has a centralized system of education, with an educa tion department under the charge of |a cabinet minister, known as the I minister of public instruction. He is I responsible to parliament for the administration of the educational system of the state. lie submits an rtVnual budget, accounts for all money expended, and makes an an : ual report of the work of the de partment. As a member of the cabi net. lie retires when there is a i change in government, and is re ; placed by a new minister, from the ! d minant political party. I As all teachers are civil servants, i there is practically no possibility of ! influence or political favor creeping 1 in to affect appointments or to make a differentiation in the treat ment of schools. The consolidated state revenue, from which all school expenses are paid, has its source in public ser vices, state lands, commonwealth sub idies, miscellaneous fines and fees and taxes on incomes and in heritances, with stamp taxes, licenses and motor taxation. It is interesting to note that property taxes furnish less than 8 per cent <>f the con solidated revenue for all govern ment expenses of the state of V ic tori a. ' A careful study < f the state unit systems of Australia leads one to believe that they are more economi cal; that they are very efficient, and result in high achievement; and that the lot of the teacher seems much happier than it. is here. The solution of our educational problems may lie in some approximation of a state unit for schools as illustrated by the Australian systems. T. C Henderson Lake Toxaway.
