The people of Concord donated 227
acres of land for the use of the in
stitution, and the site is said to be
ideal in every respect. In the near
future Chairman Cook will call the
board of trustees together to deter
mine upon the preliminary plans,
and during the summer one or more
buildiners will be erected. The in
stitution will be opened early in the
fall. ..... . !
In response to a question from
The Observer correspondent as to
the attitude of the public toward
the institution, Mr. Cook said:
Dunne the past two months 1
have been from one end of the State
to the other, and it is a fact that
everv day from six to a dozen peo
ple have asked me questions in rex
erence to the school. I am gratified
to know that the people generally
appreciate the value of such an in
stitution to society and the State.
By its very nature the school will
always -.tand as a product 01 tne
benevolent spirit of North Carolina
and at the proper time those who
are so inclined will be given an op
portunity to assist the cause in a
substantial way.
Mr. Cook says the trustees have
about $14,000 as a working basis, and
this will be sufficient for present
needs. Of course, after the" school
is established much more money will
be needed from time to time.
Superintendent Thompson has just
returned from a tour of inspection
of similar institutions uvthe North.
He visited the reformatory of "the
District of Columbia, the Pennsyl
vania school at Glen: Mills, 'and the
New York school at Dobbs' Ferry.
He spent some time at each of these
institutions, studying its system and
gaining much valuable information.
The Pennsylvania school, which has
been in existence for over y years
and represents an investment of
more than $600,000, is conducted on
the cottage system," and this plan
will be adopted by the North Caro
lina institution. In speaking of his
visit Superintendent Thompson said:
A casual visitor to one of these
schools sees nothing to indicate that
it is a reformatory, the idea of the
management being to get as far
awav as Dossible from the appear?
ance of physicial restraint. That
this plan works well is shown by the
fact that desertions amount to prac
tically nothing, as shown by actual
statistics. The average of escapes is
less than the f average desertions
from our schools and colleges.
"What about the boys after they
leave the institutions?" asked the
correspondent. I I
Each of the schools that 1 visited
keeps an accurate record of all their
inmates, both during the penod ol
their sojourn in the school and after
they are released and sent out into
the world," said Mr. Thompson.
"Statistics -that are .unquestioned
show that at least 80 per cent, of

bupt. Joyner says he is reliably in
formed that many i cities and towns
are resorting to all aorta of evasions
of the law to turn these funds into
their own treasuires, both by unlaw
fully deducting costs from these fines
and penalties without coming to trial
and entering formal judgment.
Many Superior courts are allowing
all costs of criminal actions to be
fixed against penalties or forfeitures
in the cases and that solicitors' fees
which under the law should not be
more than 5 per cent of the amounts
involved often run up to as high as
twenty per cent, f The letter gives
opinions by the Attorney General
and citations from ruling of the
Supreme Court bearing on the mat
ter at issue.
Supt. Joyner is determined to
bring about a reform in these mat
ters and calls on the county boards
of education and the county super
intendents to aid him in this move
ment.

Messrs, Editors: I have been try

The press of North Carolina, little
wee weeklies as well as semi-weeklies
are just now engaged in pouring out
a deluge of criticism upon Congress
man R. N. Hackett for the stand he
has taken and is taking in opposition
to the Appalachian Forest Reserve
bill. And the large dailies are also
criticising him most severely for the
same cause. It is true that Hackett
stands entirely alone among the
North Carolina delegation on the
mnortant question, but to the mind
of this writer he is to be congratu-
ated for his nerve in contending for
what he thought to be just and riglit
in the face of such overwhelming
opposition. He contends that the
measure is unconstitutional and
thinks remarkslby the press are un

You have noticed from tim to
time the sutemrnt that after April
the first the poitoffic department
will not ; deliver papers to sulwcri
ber who are one year in arrears
with their subscriptions. Have vou
topped to think why this rule has
been made? It w no mere whim of
the department, but a dire nccesuty,
made so by the good of th public
as well aa by the needs of the de
partment. V hy are you sMe to buy
a paper like The Journal and have
it delivered at your door fifty-two
times a year for the small turn of
one dollar? One reason that is the
government does not charge you
anything for carrying it to you
Many people do not know this, but
it is so. that is if you live in the
county in which the paper ia pub
lished. If you live out of the eoun
ty, the government charge's? at the
rate or one cent a pound for carry
ing the paper to you. Now, why
doe the government bo thi? Ile-
cause it considers that the distribu
tion of good newspapers and peri
odicals is necessary to the welfare
and i happiness of the people and
that; it is right for the government
to aid in distributing thee as cheap
ly m potunble so that they will bm
within the reach of as many jeoplt
as possible.
Now, here is the point: Under
this ruling a great many worthiest
publications have sprung up that
serve, no useful purpose but are
printed and distributed for private
gain. Most of them are no good.
the people do not subscribe for them
and in many cases do not want them
in their homes. Yet li your name
ever gets in the hands of one of these
sheets they will be seat to you for
ever;! whether you refune-to take
them or not.' The publishers do not
expect you to pay. All they want is
to get them into your hands for some
ulterior purpose. ?iome times that
purpose is to preach socialism, an
archy, or some other nefarious doc
trine. Mont often, however, the
publishers expect to make money,
and : do make millions out of the
fraudulent schemes which they
advertise and expect you to bite at.
