Church And Home Ranking Influences For Character Dr. Taylor of State College Emphasizes Return to Sim plicities of Fireside and Church in Order to Pro- mote Progress and Civilization. .Emphatically declaring- that just as soon as the human family fails to per form its fundamental function of pro ducing Christian boys and girls it will be replaced by some other form of world machinery. Dr. C. C. Taylor, professor of economics and sociology at North Carolina State college delivered the principal speech at the banquet Friday night at the Chamber of Commerce, which was the closing event, of the first day of the third annual Older Boys' Conference. The conference, attended by nearly 400 delegates opened at 4:30 o'clock in the afternoon at .Trinity Methodist church when the working organization was perfected and officers elected. Dr. Taylor said that there are five vital pieces of machinery that make up the motive power cf the world, the hu man family, the school, thai govern ment, the church, and the industry or business. The speaker lamented the between men and boj s. Mr. Van Dis was one of the promoters of the State conference idea, and told of the first conference in Michigan several years ago when 75 delegates were present from 25 cities. He compared that meet ing with one this year held at Grand Rapids when 1,875 delegates Were in at tendance as representatives of 423 cities and towns. A. tJ. Roberts of the North Carolina Farm school, neir Asheville, was the last speaker of the afternoon. His sub ject was "What are You Going to Get out of this Conference?' Thc speaker said that each boy will set from the conference just what he is looking for. He told the story of a pig. which was trained by the king to walk upright, carry the king's scepter and wear royal robes. Yet one day while on parade, the pig spied a mud puddle and dived for it, rolling in the mire. "The pie was looking for mud fact that present-day America is placing and found it," said the speaker. tho emphasis on business to the neglect business and politics are the consum ing ideals of the day while the home and church are crowded "off stage" to the detriment of the on-coming civiliza tion. "Th3 home is a tool given by heaven into the hands of menind women for the making of Christian boys and girls. It is sad to believe that this tool is not being used effectively, for figures show that out of nine marriages one divorce comes and in one city of the country there was one divorce for every two marriages," asserted Dr. Taylor. What the morrow holds depends upon Mr. Roberts told of taking a trip with Larry Bankston, one of the greatest football stars ever turned out at Dart mouth. He said the gridiron warrior was asked what was the greatest thrill he ever experienced. Instead- of reciting a story in which the star staged a brilliant play, that brought victory, Bankston told of being called by Captain Tobin into a group of players, the night before the Harvard game, and asking that prayers be offer ed that their teammates might play the hardest, cleanest, fairest game. The thrill came from the thought that the great college athlete should pray, not ! for' victory, but for his teammates to SENATE PASSES (Continued from Page One.) Senator McCoin, who had exempted his county, raised the technical objection to third reading on the same day. Senator Walker's bill providing for increasing the speed limit in towns from IS to 20 miles an hour and on country roads from 25 to 30 miles an hour was treated in like manner. It went through second reading and Sen ator, Taylor asked that third reading be deferred until Saturday. The rules under which the wills of sailors and soldiers have been probated on the witness of three people, which has been in force will be continued for another two years, under Mark Squires bill which passed the Senate yesterday. Needham Y. Gully will be allowed to rpprint certain portions of the consol idated statutes. Thirty children now at th-i State Hos pital will be transferred to the Caswell Training School on or before February Certain tributory waters of Core and Pamlico Sound are opened for fishing. This does not apply to "cat fish'' creeks, according to the explana tion of Senator Hamilton. State offices will be examined by the lesrislative commission in July rather ! than December in the future. The sale of four and a half million doiiars' worth of long-term road bonds was ratified This was necessary, ac cording to explanation made, because the bondswere advertised and sold as long-term rather than serial bonds. The 1921 tax on paints and varnishes was abolished without discussion or dissent. THE HOUSE. Because of much speech-making tnc House of Representatives Friday post poned for another day consideration of tho education bill providing for the $710,000 deficit in the State's public school fund but 'finally passed for the second time the municipal finance act on its second reading, after tacking on a minor amendment, by a vote of 77 to 8. The bill providing ways and means of paying off the school deficit might have been passed but house members wore themselves out listening to ora torical deliverances for and against the measure. Much time was also given to discussion of the municipal finance act while there was another batch of proposed legislation laid be fore the House, a total of sixty bills, rr-ostly local in their nature, featuring thc session which opened at 1.1 o'clock and continued until well past two in the afternoon. i When the finance act came before the House for passage on its second leading Representative Cowles renewed his charge that the bill was misun derstood by taxpayers, legislators and everybody save and except the bond buyers of Wall Street who he said, had created the bill. Representative Crisp of Dare county ciiallensed this statement and took the floor long enough to "repudiate the charge that the memed interests of Wall Street were innuencing legisla tion in North Carolina." The Dare county spokesman thought the Cowles statement was uncalled for and !as a serious charge against the Housy mem bers and their honorable intentions. Mr. Cowles modified his charges some what, gave assurances of his high regard for every member ofthe House but renewed the statement that "the bend buyers of New York and Wall Street" had drafted the bill. His motion to re-refer the measure to the committee on counties, cities and towns was defeated. DOUGHTON IN DEBATE. 'Governor" Rufe Doughton got in the debate toward the end, deplored the attack of Representative Cowles or- the "attorneys representing the mi nicipalities w:ho had spent much time in framing the act" and his call for the vote prevailed after Walter Murphy had assured Representative Gront thai; the bill was being conduct ed through the House in an orderly manner. Representative Tarn Bowie launched into discussion of the educational Mil, charging that State Superintendent cf Public Instruction E. C. Brooks was "a bad financier when it comes t.i mat ters of economy in the administration oi the State's public school law" but ptaised him as a private citizen. An amendment offered by Represen tative Bowio would have diverted $75,000 from the appropriation, m.id-3 oy the Legislature at tne regular session for the colored schools of the State to tne jpemoroKe scnooi ror inuians m Robeson county. . This, he said, would WALL STREET TO GIVE PRESENTS Will Return to the System Prevailing in More Pros perous Years. New York, Dec. ftO. Wall Street is gradually recovering from the general economic depression of the past two years and signs point to a liberal distri bution of bonuses and gratuities ac Christmas. During the oom period of the world wrar, holiday gifts by thit many financial institutions, orokeras houses and exchanges were on a very gen erous scale. These ranged .in many cases from 25 to 50 per cent or even more of yearly salaries. This wfas exclusive of the quarterly give the Indian school the appropria tion intended by the Legislature but which was inadvertently omitted. Like wise it would reduce the school de ficit by that amount. He asked that his amendment - be adopted on the grounds of "economy and justice." Representative Matthews of Bertie spoke for the bill a chairman of the committee of education, twitted Rep resentative. Bowie for asking for any thing for economy's sake when he, Bowie, had sponsored a bill at the regular session authorizing the expendi ture of fifty million dollars . "of the people's money." That bill, he said, was for roads and the bill providing for the school deficit was for the education of the boys and girls of the State. He thought ir. ought to be passed wit'nat the Bowie amendment which would se riously impede its progress. Speaker Grier took the floor and was inclined to support the Bowie ameni; roent provided the appropriation not already been spent: otherwise he W r! lid cnnnfcrt t V, o hill a a i f ctnnrl which would give the Pembroke school j or semiannual payments ot Zo to ut v,o -75 nnn annrtir,..mont i?di',:.,i,. i p cent Of salaru-s given to cm- tative Fountain thought the depart- ment of education was "top-heavy ' j wuu supervision or scnoois put spoke against the ajnendment and for the original bill. So did Representa tive Everett of Durham, who pointed out that the act carried a provision which would pay the counties the am ount of money necessary for salaries I remised school teachers, many ot whom have not yet been paid for this year's work. On motion of Speaker Grier consid eration of the bill went over until fur ther information regarding the deficit and the appropriation to the colored schools could be obtained from . the Siate Superintendent of Public In struction. Another batch of petitions came in at Friday's session fx .am Eastern North Carolina citizens pitying for an ex tension of time in . operation of th Stare-wide stock law. . They were from Bertie, Beaufort and Currituck counties. 'banks abandoned the distribution or these bonuses. The offerings of the New York Stock Exchange and simila institutions take the form of Christmas boxes to which members make fixed contribution. In addition there are impromptu celebra tions on the exchange, when personal gifts are distributed. The Produce Exchange, of recent years, has held celebrations of tain sort, mainly for the ' children of the poor living on the low-er end of Man hattan Island, upon whom gifts of clothing as Well as toys and candles are generously bestowed. In the aggregate. Wall Street's bene factions, even in thee transitory time.;, are likely to run into hundreds of thousands of dollars. AMERICAN BUYS PORTRAIT. New York. Dec. JO.
