Joyner is in reference to a worthy cause: : : To the County Superintendents and the, Public School Teachers:. , The Public Press of North Car. olina has, always responded. gen erously-ahd unselshly. to every call of the public schools for Ber vice, and no agency : has been mpJe potent in promoting the de velopment of these schools ' and the progress of education in the State". The county Superintend ents and the public school teach' era now have an opportunity to express their appreciation of this service, ' and to render at the same time a valuable service to a most worthy cause by co-operating heartily with the: "Bill Nve Memorial Committee" in their commendable effort to raise funds lor the erection of a central or main building at the "Stonewall Joekson Manual Training School" to be known as; the "Bill, Nye Memorial Buildidg." . The Committee has prepared Un interesting program for the celebration of Bill Nve Day in the public schools. An hour devoted tcj honoring the memory of such A man, who loved all children and all men, who devoted his splen did talents to making teem hap pier and better. through his writ ings, will be properly and profi tably soent. .'.. i j I earnestly ? request and urge the county superintendent of each county - to distribute these pro grams to the public school teach ers of the county, accompanied by a letter to each teacher, di reecting the setting apart of an hour in the school for this celebra tion,, and urging the hearty co operation of the. teachers for the success of the celebration. The noble work of the Stone wall Jackson Training School for giving r way ward Doys or the State a chance to have a chance to be trained into goood citizens should 'appeal . strongly to the hearts of toe children of the pub lic schools, who but for the mer cy of God might be like these wayward boys. .It Is a privilege, therefore, for these children to have an opportunity to make contribution to such a work. It will do them good. I earnestly urge, therefore, lhat county Su perintendents and teachers Jend their hearty co-operation in se curing at least sa penny contri bytion from ever child in the pub lic schools for the erection of the BUI Nye Memorial Building forimerAant and many others who increasing the facilities at the State's school for training, way ward .boys. v V.-:"i,.--:':-'. I designate Wednesday, the 22nd day of February, for .this celebration.

Others are pot hunters-? who care nothing fbr law. c-S: - Societies have been organized for the purpose of protecting the game animalf and game fishes, the song and' insectiverous and other innocent birds from wan torf slaughter.'; The . prime ob ject .ia stated to be to .enforce laws where they exist, and to se cure and enforce such laws .Where not now ' in existence. ' From time to time Darticufar attention has. been called to the slaughter of game jtnd. other animals--and birds through the medium of the automatic or machine gun. . In various ways it has been sought to arouse public sentiment to a state of appreciation of the value of protecting gajtoe and birds. Some progress has1, been made. In spite of ail that has been done the wanton slaughter and de struction has continued; and, it k claimed that - the 'wild animals and birds are being rapidly swept away, and hat several important species are totally extinotand others on the verge of extern nation, "In the work of preserv ing wild animals and game", the aid of the people of the state is ;fought. Whether there 'should be dstrteg law to prevent' a jconv tinuation of cowardly - slaughter whether under the name of sport or otherwise, does not - admit of two opinions.', .Whether it is pos Bible to secure the enactment of a preventive law, and having pro cured it, secure its enforcement, is another matter. A stringent law should be passed, even if it goes to the extent of prohibiting absolutely the shooting, of any wild game or birds for a period of two or more years, and put it up to the officers and all law abiding citizens to see to it3 enforcement.

' The essential difference be - tween the citizen and the savage is the expression in his daily rou tine by the former of the princi ple1, r-'No man liveth unto him self."..; This biblical axiom is the basis of civilization," because it expresses a relation that law de fines anil controls. It naturally follows that the clearer our men tal perception, the more distinct ly will we recognize the many and subtile bonds that uniteour fortunes or our fates into a web of weal or woe. Knowledge gives acutness of mental vission, and, therefore, it Is knowledge that opens the gates of a higher civilization and gives to him who desires the opoort unity to become a better citizen. The relation of one man's pro perty to another's is easily recog nized, and is firmly established upon universally accepted princi ples of civil law. The relation of ope man's life to another's has only within the last half century been Established upon principles of natural law. But, as yet, the knowledge of these natural laws has not been widely enough dis seminated to produce sufficient public sentiment to weld them into oar statutes. Man's greatest civic obligation is to i the public health. This sounds like the exaggeration of an enthusiast.;- Nevertheless, " it rests;iip6flk those primary and fundamental principles of law, the. decalogue, that for over four thousand years have been the basis of civilation. Writ in tablets of stone by the Supreme Judge Himself, these legal principles tiro so comprehensive as to - em brace man's every possible rela tion: His relation to the Court of Heaven: his relation to the court of the home, and his rela tion to the court of man. But note, and note carefully, that the first of the nve rules governing man's relation to man is the law Drdtectinz life. First, not by haphazaVd, but first by Omnis- cient design, because it is just as fundamental to the last four of these five laws as life is funda- mental to chastity, property, re- fort Note further, that "Thou shalt not kill'' carries no provi sion limiting its application to the1 5.000 'deaths occurring annu ally in the UnitecKStates through willful acts of commission, mur der, and excluding the 500,000 deaths from preventable disease annually occuring in pur country by an. act of passive omission. Every citizen who does not take a serious interest in the public health of his or her community is a partisan to. thia criminal de struction of life. V Ana now we reaca iuc uivvp tant question, namely, how can you help prevent disease and death ? You can do this by f first, giving careful attention, to the morning "health talk,''' through which you will be convinced of the importance of the subject; and, second, bv learning' through these health talks of the simple methods of preventing the com mon diseased. You may be able to save your own life, as well as the lives of' others., v:.y '' .'it' (Note The above is the first of a series of fifteen ''Morning Talks' prepared by Dr. W. S. Kankih Secretary State, Board of Health for use in the , public schools and approved : by ' the of Health for use in the,public UMut--kriiQM BCh ana appjrpvw State : SuperintendentEd.):fU;s Try Tile Drainage od Toe harden . For the truck farmer or garden er,' underdrainge is a necessity.. This, is true almost without ex ception, regardless of the Iocs tion .or character of the soil., There is a heavy rainfall in the hsouth and the excess of water must be assisted to escape quick ly through the soil to the under draws instead of running off over the surface. Wherever artificial surface, drainage is necessary, the drainage is required for the best results' in truck farming. Even the fine sandy lands of the costal plain the highest of them need under-drainage for the best results in growing truck. The late Dr. Porter, cf North Carolina, who was known as a most successful trucker and the first to ship strawberries from the State nearly every year, did not hesitate to attribute his early and large crops larfely to the ef fects of under-drainage. The writer heard him declare that in his oppinon every acre of the coastal plain country, even the highest of it, that was used for growing garden or truck crops, should be under-drained. The trucker needs tile drain 8ge not only because it aids in carrying off the excess of water. causing less loss of plant food than when it goes off over the surface, causes his soil to warm up earlier in the spring and en ables him to work earlier in the spring and sooner after., rains: but also because it enables the soil to supplv more moisture to the growing crops in times of drouth. , ' . . 'If tile drainage is essential and profitable to the market garden er ahd truck farmer, it is equally important to the farm garden. Try jmder-draining the home or farm garden; it will not cost very much; and will certainly pay . in the earlier, larger and better pro ducts..' There is no proof like our Own observation and experience, and if those who are thinking of trying some tile drainage, but are still a little doubtful, will make a test on the home trarden, the experiment to them, which is" really no experiment for the facts are established, will lead to the tile drainage of the fields as fast as practiable.
