The health record maintained at the Jackson Training School, the State's houle of correction for bovs located near here, is one calculated to hold the attention of those persoits who tdliilk such schools should do more than merely house a hoy for a .certain number of years. Tin* record is an impressive one. we contend, and shows that the students at this .school are getting the "personal touch' - which is essential if the institution is to sue-'" eeed in the great work it has to do. The Jackson Training School was opened in January. 1909 and during its life has housed about 1.509 stu dents. Os that number but two Jiave died from disease and one other was accidentally killed. Ts every commun ity could maintain such a record our health conditions would be greatly im proved. The record is especially im pressive, we think, because so many of the students are of the age when L they are most susceptible to disease, b Also, they are of the age when they | are careless about their liealtlr: when in fact, they have little knowledge of how to care for themselves. We repeat, the record shows, that the youngsters are getting pinch per sonal attention, ami since the author ities' of the school are so careful with the health of the students we feel „ sure they must he oven more concerned with their morals. The training in health which the youngsters receive at the school will • not benefit them merely while they arc in the school. If will stick with them through life, and when we have a youngster who is seriously concerned about keeping himself physically right !we are pretty sure'to have a young ster who is also interested in his men : tal and moral training. Cleanliness is a great lesson for any youngster to learn., and we are of the opinion that sy j - / if many ol" tjie hoys in the school had ; ; ; -jbeeu taught cleanliness, both as it per tains to body and mind, they would not be in tlietsehdol now. ASKING TOO MK 11. 1 The'attorneys who appeared for the State in the recent railroad litigation : in which the act of 1921 placing cer tain taxes on the railroads was finally C given the sanction of the l nitetl States Supreme court, are said to have asked the State for fees amounting to $70,- | 000. The reports which seemingly eminated from Raleigh, have neither becif authenticated nor denied by the attorneys. Locke Craig being the only attorney to make a statement concern ing the matter. Mi\ Craig admitted ’ y that he had presented a hill fojx $10. : & 00ft for his part in the matter. We don't know what the final bill will bo. but we hope the State will not pay tin* gentlemen $70,000 or any sum in the neighborhood of $70,000, I . The mailer, judging fpirn the state ment of Mi*" Craig, will finally rest with Governor Morrison, and we he lic'c he will refuse to pay any such ‘ fee. It is apparent from a statement at tributed to Governor Morrison, that the State made no agreement with its counsel before the case was taken to court. That seems to have been where the State made its greatest mistake. It should have asked the lawyess j jyb:t't they were going to charge. The State Should run its affairs on a business basis'like any business concern. ■"Jf the attorneys who represented tfie State in this, matter are to gfe* $70,000 for their work the railroads might as well have l>een allowed to keep the tax money. By the time the St site pays its lawyer fees it would have little left. Governor Morrison, according to a Raleigh report, expects to make some ‘'adjustments’’ in the matter. We think adjustments are in' order all right. Five thousand dollars each, would lie a just sum. we think, for any of the attorneys who appeared in the; case. ' , NEW PARKING LAW NEEDED. Now that the city Juts a new street sweeper, which we think is just what was needed here, we think the alder-j men should pass a law prohibiting the parking of autos in the business 1 section of the city from 1 a. m. to 7 a. m. ! Such a law would clear the streets of gar* during the hours, and would give the street force a chance to clean up. Every’time the sweeper lists j to'pass a ear parked along tin* street j it lias to miss about fifty feet of the j street. The sweeper can't get around j a ear without losing that much space, and the trash under the cars parked jilonpj the strict is thus loft. The sweeper lias no chance to clean th( v - streets in the business section ex cept at night. It can clean the middle of tile streets during the day, bu% it I can’t get- to the gutters until the j cars' 1 an* moved, and for this reason! autos should not be allowed on the! business streets during the night. Peo ple who have to lie out at that time of the night could easily park on soup* side street. Other cities tried this plan and have found it the only practical one if the streets are to bo kept clean, as they should. PI T THEM BEFORE YOU. Carelessness is responsible for many auto accidents. Here are eleven rules ►that will cut down the number of ac cidents if followed. Put them on the windshield of your ear where they will always be seen and they may keep you from becoming careless: Respect the rights of pedestrians. Cheerfully obey the trntiie officers. He protects you as well as pedestrians. Keep to‘the right of the road. When turning begin bearing in to ward the turn at least a block away. Go slowly around corners. Give pedestrians plenty of room—if in doubt stop. jr Mutual forbearance and courtesy make friends. Read the motor vehicle law and traf fic regulations. (>n slippery roads drive with ex rinte -caution.. Child on the highway is a danger signal. Slow up-and if .in doubt stop. Reckless- drivers are the enemies of all careful motorists. BECOMING MORE RELIGIOUS. According to reports just made pub lic by I >r. E. O. Watson, statistician of trie Federal Council of Churches, Am erica apparently is becoming more religions. From almost every stand point the figures as announced by Dr. Watson are interesting, but they arc especially significant in view of all the propaganda handed out recently hv anti-religious organizations and classes about the increase of immoral ity and the decrease of religion and religious thought. According to Dr. Watson the pres ent membership of all %‘eligious bod ies. according to tlit? latest available / -figures, is 47,401.558. This increase is approximately fifty per cent, greater than the average for the preceding five years; There was a gain of 9,591 congregations and 15,252 ministers. The total number of congregations is now 243.590. They are led by 214,583 ministers. to those figures, church representatives point out that each day in 1922 an average of 3,345 per sons joined the various religious bod ies. 42 ministers were ordained or licensed, and 20 congregations were organized. The shortage in clergy is not as great as the fact that there are 29,007 more congregations than ministers would indicate. Many pastors, espe cially in rural districts, have charge of two or more congregations. Besides, a number of missions and rural churches are served by laymen. This activity on the part of laymen is one of the significant features of the year. OirfiTg to different methods adopted by the various bodies in computing tlicir memlKTship it is hard to make comparisons. The Roman Catholic Church shows a membership of 18.- 104,804 persons. Its figures represent estimated church population and in clude all baptized persons. Evangeli cal Protestant churches show a myn bership of 27,431,080. They count communicants only. " The thirty bodies'related to flic Fed eral Council of Churches report a to tal membership of 20.721,142 persons. They have 149,430 congregations, serv ed by 119,077 ministers. Their gain in Membership over last year is 809*- 201. Their totuL constituency is now 59,021,718 persons. s Tfie total religious constituency of the country is placed at 98,878.307 p<*r 1 sons. Church officials defim* constit uency to mean all baptized persons, all adherents, and all those who. in the supreme test of life or death, turn to a communion. "When the figures of the various churches placed on a comparable basis through methods agreed upon by | church and government officials, the j constituency of the great bodies is re-1 ported as follows: \ Protestant 78,113.481. Roman Catholic 18,104,804. Jews 1,000,000. | Latter Day Saints (Mormons) 004,- 082. Eastern Orthodox (Greek and Rus ;sian) 450.054. ! SHOWS REPUBLIC AN TENDENCY. I While we believe President Harding presented the* matter of American rep resentation on the International Court near the close of Congress because he knew Congress would npt act on it before December, and it would give liini a good talking point this sum-, mer, we also believe that Mr. Harding wants the resolution adopted, because lie sees now that our foreign policy has been all wrong. A number of prominent Republicans have admit ted this recently, and now we find e\- Governor Allen, of Kansas, one of the most astute of the Republican leaders, admitting-the fact "that not only have we been misunderstood abroad but wo have misunderstood ourselves at home.” The ex-Governor says in the course of a statement in Paris that ‘■participation of the United States in European affairs will lie the outstand ing planlr of the Republican platform at thoyfexl Presidential election.” and he pi/sliets that tDo plank ‘•will be an effective foreign policy.’’ And here’s the most significant statement Mr. .Allen made, a statement that is frank and interesting because it is frank: "There is a growing real ization that, President Harding’s de feat of Woodrow Wilson was not j brought about by tin* desire of the peo- ; pie to reject the Wilson foreign policy program so much as it was the de sire of the people to put the reins of government back into the hands of the Republican party. While it means tlie rejection -of the League of Nations as set forth in tli'e Versailles Covenant it did not mean the rejec tion on the part of American people of the idea of mtftonal relationships." » Prohibition Commissioner Haynes has given his dry agents instructions to make trains, and especially smok tug compartments, their headquarter; for the next few months, and the new slogan hung out for traveling men is “watch your hip." Commissioner Haynes contends, and rightly so. \w believe, that there is too much drink ing on trains, and many people who are afraid to produce the liquor in a city will become quite free with it once they get ori a train. If the agents will keep strictly on the job we ima gine they will be able to make many raids on the trains, and AVayne B. Wheeler, general counsel for the Anti- Saloon League, in a recent statement, declared the purchaser of liquor could he tried as well as the seller, so the agents can hold the men they find tot ing the stuff on the hip. Something new seems to have been exposed in the halls of the Oklahoma State eapitol. A case of whiskey was , discovered in one of the committee rooms of the House while Hint body was in session and the Speaker Was so angry that: he ordered special guards placed about the eapitol to see tlia! the solons did no drinking while at the eapitol. The drys for some time have been accusing certain’ mem tiers of ♦ Congress of drinking amU*buying liquor "in the shadow of the eapitol.” but this is the first time in history that liquor was found in the eapitol building of a State. If the members of the Legislature had to have tlieir toddy it seems that they could have at least waited until they were away from the eapitol building to take it. Dr. William Fisk Massey Dies in Salisbury, Maryland. Raleigh, April 1. —Dr. William Fisk Massey, one of the muse widely known horticulturists in America, died at his'-home in Salisbury. Mil.. Friday night, after a brief illness, in the S3rd ed with keen sorrow in this state, year of His age. His passing is not ed with keen sorrow in this state, where he was widely known, not only as one of the members of the first fac ulty of State College, hut as contribut ing editor of The Progressive Fa rater. He lived in Raleigh 10 years. x “The Father of the Cow-pea," was the name by which Dr. Massey was best known in North Carolina. More than a quarter of a century ago he developed the fact, that/cow-peas are an imiKirtunt factor in soil enrich ment, liberating nitrogen and other plant fowls Lu the soil. lie advocat ed the planting of peas, for land en richment. and his discovery hnSs been an important factor in the develop ment of agriculture in the south. All babies have blue eyes when they arc born. In some infants pigment granules begin to develop in the iris immediately after birth. Thus they become black or brown eyed, fu oth ers no such pigment formation takes place, uud the eyes remain their orig inal color throughout life. THE concord times OUR STATE MADE AN ENVIABLE RECORD In the Teaching of Agriculture in the Rural High Schools. Raleigh, N. (’., March 31. —"A re lent study of the teaching of agricul ture in rural high schools of twelve southern states, last year, made by the I Federal. Board for Vocational Educa- Ition. shows that North Carolina made jan enviable record in the results* ob tained from the course,” Roy T. Thomas, state supervisor of agricul tural education, announced tonight. Tiie states included in the study were Alabama. Arkansas. Florida, Lou isiana. Mississippi. North Carolina, Oklahoma. South Carolina. Tennessee, Texas and Virginia. "Each boy mat studies agriculture in the high sclwiol must do some kind of practical work at home called a project." said Mr. Thomas. "This state led the'south in the number <>: pupils out of each hundred who com pleted their school .and home work and received credit for it. Ninety-six out of every hundred boys enrolled com pleted the work. The average fpr -the south was seventy-three. "North Carolina stood third in the average income per pupil from the home project or practical work. While going to school the average income made by North Carolina pupils was 884.0<). The average for the/.south wn> $01.28. "North Carolina stood third in the total income from the practical work, the amount being $45,892. The aver age for the south was $40,350. 'dn the ilumber of people not regu larty enrolled in school who were giv en advice and assistance, this state led by a lug margin. Over 30.000 peo ple in some way were served by 'the teachers of the slate. The average for the south was below ,850.000. "In she amount of money secured from the home or practical work of the boys as compared with the money spent for teacheis salaries, North Car olina stood second. The touching of agriculture in this state was self sup porting. That is for every doilai that was paid to teachers in the form ol* salaries there was a return of one dollar from the pupils’ work. The av erage for tiie south was an income of fifty-eight cents on each dollar paid to teachers. "The study also shows that the six ty-uine teachers in visiting tlie homes of boys and farmers for tin* purpose of giving advice and assistance travel ed over 130.000 little more than live times the distance around the earth," he stated.
