Chestertown, Md., Oct. 21 —(AP>—
President Roosevelt called the nation
to the “spirit of cooperation” of col

an honorary degree from Washing
ton Colilege.
Disdaining the “five* year and ten
year programs of some countries
which have a dictator,” the President
declared amid applause:
‘‘ln th J s country, which has not a
dictator, we can, I think, move fur
ther toward our,goal without giving it

But ht emphasized tsat the spirit,
of cooperation was the vital element
for recovery' and harked back to
IGeorge Washington, the founder of
this institution, as a leader against
class distinctions and pioneer of co
pe ration .
“We have accomplished much in the
last few months,” said the President,
in his collegiate cap and gown, “but
we can’t reach the goal in a couple
of months.”
“Some countries in which there are
dictators have laid down what is called
a five-year program or a ten-year
ipregram. In this country, which has
not got a dictator, I think we can
move further toward our goal without
giving it a definite term of years.”

No Need for Pupils or

HI J. C. BASKERVILL.
Raleigh Oct. 21. —There is no need
for teachers or pupils to do jan
work in any ox the schools, since ade
quate provision has been made to em
ploy all the janitors needed, Leßoy
Martin, secretary of the state School
Commission said today. Complaints
have been received from some counties
he admitted, that pupils and teachers
were being required to sweep out and
clean their own rooms on the grounds
that the state, through the School Com
pnissjbn, had not allotted enough
money to the schools to get adequate
janitorial service.
This correspondent received a let
ter this week from F. O. Conyers
a Durham county school patron, who
said that “in the schools of Durham
county the children are required to
pay 10 cents a month to the teachers
to make out their report cards” and
that “the teachers or children are
required to sweep out their own rooms
placing the trash in the halls for the
janitors, this being on account of the
janitors’ pay being reduced.” The let
ter states in another place that “the
(county) superintendent is doing every
thing in his power to make the new
school law as difficult to carry out
as possible. He worked for the sup
plement, which was defeated, and is
now trying to take his vengeance out
on the pupils and patrons The peo
ple are almost open, revelot.”
“There is no need for any super
intendent to require any teachers or
pupils to do any janitor work, either,
since the board has studied the needs
of every school and provided for ah
necessary janitor service,” Martin said
“The commission has allotted $331,000
for janitors salaries this year, al
though the counties spent about $500,-
000 for janitor service last year. Where
the amount allotted is not enough, Fed
eral relief workers can be obtained,
we have just learned."
