Mass production could be aptly applied to the system that is being used in the two consolidated elemen tary schools in Transylvania, with a lack of individual attention made necessary from teacher to student. Smart indeed are teachers in some of the grades of the Rosman and Brevard elementary schools who have been able to know which is Johnny and which is Sammy, what with fifty and sometimes more pupils, under their care. i It looks to us like it is a plain case of shoveling in a bunch of children to the schools as one would a wagon load of corn to the mill, and hope that the little fellows will come out with a start on the road to educa tion. just like one would expect the sack oi corn to run through a hopper and come out clean meal. We have no quarrel witn eonfou ilation of high schools. The older pupils are presumed to have already had their start*on the road to an education, and in very few cases do thov require the individual attention that the younger pupils must have if they are to get started off decently in their work. But the little fellows need someone to coax them along, to really “know” them, know their homes and their parents, know the exact conditions under which the child is being raised, in order that the best method of approach can be made bv the teacher to each child. This is impossible under the system row employed. WHO WON THE TEXTILE STRIKE! With leaders of the United Textile Workers claiming “a great victory” in the strike that officially ended last Saturday, we wonder just where this victory is to be found. Thousands of striking workmen are still unemployed today. Many thousands of them will not be re employed for many moons to conie, the manufacturers claiming that in order to keep their mills running during the strike period they were •forced to hire new workmen to man the machines that were left idle by the strikers. These workers, the ones who were hired during the strike period, cannot be fired now to make room for other people, the mill own ers say, hence many workers who had jobs three weeks ago are now mem bers of the vast unemployed army. What has the fellow who “went out" and now has someone else on his job won? Where is his great victory? Who is to feed his family? The mill owners claim they ha\« “withstood the onslaught” of un justly dissatisfied workers, and they too. feel tlV?y nave “won a great vic tory.” Where have their profits come from during the idle days, or when only a part of their mills have been running? How did the mill owners make their overhead expense while j their mills were on part time or totally closed? Where can they find j profit in canceled orders that other j mills have gotten during the inact ive period? Who, then, has won the great victory? ! . We wonder just whore “the great victory” can be found. __i One thing less to worry about is which way to vote on the constitu tion change. Incidentally, right now would be a good time to send in a year’s re newal to the home town paper. Have you bought a ticket to the football game? High school Friday, College Saturday - let’s give our boys the kind of backing that they can use to buy new uniforms with. Most people hate to see a man lose, but we’ve heard no one express sympathy for Bruno Hauptmann, kidnaper of the I.indbergh baby. Some day people will realize that there is no such thing as “the perfect crime.” CONTEMPLATING THE COST (Charlotte Observer) / The public is now engaged in the unpleasant task of casting up the costs of the late textile strike, and it does not make inspiring reading. The loss to workers in wages ajor.e is estimated at something more chon $16,000,000, which means an ap proximate loss of that sum to local trade, and tl«erein everybody and every business was hurt. The losses to manufacturers cannot be calcu lated, but it was of immense propor tions. Another item was the cost to the tax-payers of the state for mov ing and maintaining the troops that were called out to protect property and preserve order. The exact figures' ai;e yet to be revealed from Raleigh, but the cost is going to be of impos-! ing nature. The one encouraging thing is that while the strike was on, many of the mills succeeded in dis 1 posing of their surplus stocks, so that work is to be resumed with full forces employed and production will be started under full speed to make up for lost time. As details of the cost to the country of this strike are unfolded, the people will be against “another striks” as whole heartedly as they are united against i “another war." i OLD TOXAWAY (By Beulah Rice) Miss Dorthy Robinson left recently ' for Kannapolis where she has a t position.
