The Angels of Buena Vista —Miss Etli rRAISES “BETTER KITCHEN” CAMPAIGN OF THIS COUNTY Campaign Aroused Great Enthusiasm. — Mrs. McKimmon Heard With Pecu liar Interest Here. Fortunate indeed were the men and women who attended the meeting held here Saturday, May 26th, at Central School, for they carried away inspira tion that should he shared by everyone in the county. You have read in The Tribune the notices inserted by Miss Wilson (luring the past concerning the Better Kitchen campaign. Some of you have followed the development through this paper, others have had a more vital part as an actual participant in the campaign. It is a pity that more of our good people were, to say the least, not sufficiently interested to attend this meeting Saturday, when the prizes were awarded and when Mrs. McKimmon, our State Home Agent, favored us with a visit. Those of us who know Mrs. McKim mon, or have heard her speak, know that she ever brings a message of promise. She began with the statement that 90 per cent, of our girls eventually become home-makers —hence the need qf making provision for our young people to begin early in life to understand in a business like way in this sacred vocation. Since Health is the first consideration of a happy home, every woman should mas ter tlie controlling factors of feeding the family. There was not a little bit of hu mor mingled with hope, as Mrs. McKim mon pictured tlie ungainly man evolved from eating according to his appetite in a home where there is good cooking—a 'ma.it with a ‘fat roll on the back of his neck at tlie back and a protruding belt in front.” Then she stated the possibil ity of avoiding this domestic tragedy by tact and yvisdonr in the selection of food. She stated that meat and fat-producing foods are usually provided and that ft is the wise • home-maker who will imy es pecial attention to having in each meal those finals which control health and vi tality—the vita mines and minerals—r found chiefly in fresh fruits and vegeta bles, milk, eggs and whole grain cereals. It is possible for our womeip to get to gether in classes and give a thorough study to lliis problem of feeding tfic family. This has led in some counties to the de velopment of the home garden. And -as one good thing leads.to another, this, in turn, lias led ot an added soure of in coine. Mrs. McKimmon told of a little woman who cleared $12.50 a month by marketing 'the surplus fruits and vege tables of the garden, eggs and. poultry: and of another who helped to make possible her daughter’s education at col lege by marketing canned tomatoes put up according to the 4H standard. Then came the answer to the ques tion —but how can we to at tend study classes and do these other things, when our hands are tied with tin* immedite duties of housework? She declared that the old adage that “wom an’s work is never done,” should not be true today; that she would learn how to plan to have spare time each day to be to herself to read, and to visit witlr those having similar problems. It is this problem of time-saving that has led to what, in some counties, is called the "House Improvement Campaign (for then all of the rooms are renovated) in this county tlie “Better Kitchen Campaign.” Then she told how the women in this State were studying how to save time and labor by having kitchens conven iently arranged; by having a supply of running water, even though in some cas es a inexpensive arrangement; by floor and wall coverings most easily kept clean ; by such labor-saving devices as the swinging rack, the kitchen stools and tables sufficiently high. As we lis tened we verily knew that a new day for our homes was dawning. And so, ns the meeting we rejoiced that we had not been too busy with little things to come to this meeting. Our hearts re-echoed the words of Mr. L. T. Hartnell, who in introducing the speaker, reminded us of this fortunate time for North Carolina, when we are experienc ing a new prosperity; and said : tin* most outstanding factors that is mak ing North Carolina great is the work of tiie county agents. ” Again, we re echoed Mrs. McKimmon’s statement when she sakl. "The kind of agent that we want is the kind that you have — one who can be counsellor, interpreter and friend.” And those had enter ed the Better Kitchen Campaign declar ed that regardless of whether they had won a prize, and that although the proj ect had required much thought, time and effort, that nevertheless, they felt fully rewarded in that they possessed a new kitchen.

Kobertsen Re-elected Sup erintendent of Schools. The County Board of Education held on important meeting Thursday. The chief items of business were the consid eration of the budget for the coming school year and the election of the Sup erintendent of Schools. Many judicial minded citizens have thought for some time that in compari son too little emphasis was being placed on what are commonly known as the public schools. Generous provision has been made for the Higher State Institu tions. Recent legislation looks toward the development of the Elementary and High Schools—those schools that are. closest so the people and uihmi which we must depend for ’general diffusion of knowledge,” and incitement so higher learning. Tlie system contemplated em braces both elementary and high school facilities adequate to case for every boy and girl in the county. Whereas local effort directed toward the development of schools iu comparatively small districts has been encouraged for the past decade or two land this encouragement has been productive of worthwhile progress), yet the concensus! of opinion of the lead • crx in public education today is that nothing short of a county-wide sysre-n is adequate to meet the needs and growing demands of our citizenship.' i Under the system that has been ‘in vogue, some communities have enjoy'd the benefits of a public High School; but experience proves that we can never hope to bring High School facilities with in the reach of all the boys and girls of the county under the "local-tax-db-tricl” plan. Hence the new legislation con templates a system that will bring Ele mentary and High School facilities with in walking or riding fin transportation bu-sAs) distance of "every boy or girl in the county. ' There was erstwhile complaint of too much concentration of authority in Ral eigh with reference to public schools. Whatever may have been the merits of that complaint, it is certainly true that the kind of school System a county de velops in the future is going to be very largely determined by the attitude of the citizens, the taxpayers, of the county and the support they give those directly charged with the duty of establishing, developing and caring for the public schools. 1 A countywide system will call for county wide supiKirt. It is euoouyaging to note that there is a healthy senti ment prevailing already iu many quar ters. A forward-looking delegation was before the board. They were represent tative citizens, and they were not seek ing any narrow or selfish advantage. They can be depended on to back the Count}’ Commissioners in making a levy that will enable the Board of Education to make a start toward the- realization of a county system of High Schools. They will also use their influence to popularize the idea of a countywide si>eeial tax for schools. In due course of time, with all pulling together for civic betterment, we should have iu Cabarrus* county an ade quate. efficient system of schools which will insure eyery boy and girl of the 'county a chance at High School, as well at Elementary school advantages. The Board re-elected Prof. J. 15. Rob ertson superintendent of Cabarrus coun ty schools. Prof. Robertson has served in this capacity for six years. He is a capable school man and enjoys high rat ing among the educational forces of the State. He knows the county and the people. With the more liberal support of the cause of public education which our people are showing a willingness for, the board and the superintendent are san guine in their expectations of a more ad equate system of public schools.
