The Daily Free Press. KINSTON, N. C. XlNSTON PUBLISH! M! Co. OWNKK. D. T. EDWARDS. Editor. Entered 1 tha Posloflica at second class matter mKRnsTKXIKST JOYNElt'S BE-POUT. Th Fna Piwi hM iuat receded ft cop t of the biennial raport of Naptrlntondeut ' of Public Instruction J. Y. Joyner. The rprt is an excellent document, and gOM etralgbt to the heart of the quee- uon. ' la dlacueataff tbe present condition of public education In Ncrth Carolina, Mr Joyner ueae a comparleon between the expenditures for public schools In this State and tbe average eipenditurfn for tbe name purpose throughout tbe United State a shown In tbe record of Uu United States Bureau of Education. North Carolina expands fur each child enrolled in tbe State public mhools $.'1. 1 7 per year. Tbe average amount epeat throughout the United State per en rollment ! f 20.29. The average length of the State ecbool term per year in 82.4 da ye for white echoole, and 70.15 days for colored school. Throughout tbe United States tbe average length of tbe achool term if 145 daya per year. Tbe average monthly salary of our white teachers la f 20.78. Tbe colored teachers fret a monthly salary of $22.19. While tbe average aalary paid teachers through out the United States la f 48. In presenting these statistics Mr. Joj ner baa pointed out an important source of weakness In our present educational yetem. We must epend more money per capita Jorthe education of our children. We pend $17.12 per annum less for each en- rnllutl rhllfi than la a rant on tha Amman throughout tbe Halted States. We are awara that the mere apendlng of money wilt'not Insure us of attaining the desired end. But we are further ware of the fact that our State will not take Its proper place In enlightenment and proaperlty until a greater expendl tare is made. ' In some achool systemn, on side the 8ttte, money la wanted, uo doubtd)y. But we need n' t fear that men will be the result of a greater ex pnnditura in North Carolina. The average length of the school term most be Increased, and the average aalary nf the teacher in our huooI m.iot not fall $21.22 behind tha ueneral avenue. Mr. Joyner makes pertinent u ir ac tions as to the Improvement of achool louses in equipment, and, their enlareij Bat oar schools moat attain tbe im provement through tha Improvement of the teaching force, and the strengthen ing of the eupervlsing force. To this end If r. Joyner doe well In recommending tbataa active part be taken In suram-r schools, and abort college courses eep f lly adapted to the needa of tbe teacher. The average teacher, honest and faitfc. ful workers astbey are, will not drie much benefit from listening to a court.-of a tertainlng summer lectures. Nor will t bey derive much real benefltfrom merely ongaglng in a anmmer of enjoyable oclal Intercourae with fellow teacher. Bat If our schoola are to be improved through tbe Improvement of our teach era we must have certain well prepir-d onrsee of Instruction placed In easy ac ceea of tha teaching force. . Not only this, but we must give Mr. Joyner adequate assistance In the way of eupervlsing force to see that the Sta'e is getting "Its money'a worth." AN IMPORTANT LA. BOH TEST.

The Newport News company took the contract upon a bid of $3,890,000. It remains to be seen what tbe navy yard ran do Its work for.

HOW TO IMPROVE DOMESTIC SERVICE IN AMERICA By Mist GAIL LAUGHUN, IL B., Lawyer and Student )f Social and Economic Problems i CONDITIONS IN DOMESTIC SERVICE ARE AT PRESENT 1" X SATISFACTORY. The testimony i of people generally and the facts stated by those who come most closely into touch with domestic labor seem A to establish that in a large proportion of cases the serv-, ice rendered by domestic employees is unsatisfactory and that the ' aupply of competent domestic workers is far below the demand. IN SHORT, DOMESTIC 8ERVICE IS LARGELV IN THE HANDS OF UNTRAINED AND INCOMPETENT WORKERS AND IS UNPOPU LAR WITH THE MAJORITY OF INTELLIGENT WOMEN WAGE EARNERS. The reason for this is not found in the wages paid, for it is ad mitted lliHt wages in domestic service are, all things considered, -higher than are the wages paid in many more popular lines of work. The reason is found in other conditions which exist and primarily in the fact that THE DOMESTIC EMPLOYEE IS LOOKED UPON AS A PERSONAL SERVANT RATHER THAN AS AN EMPLOYEE HIRED TO PERFORM SPECIFIC SERV ICE. Because of this view there is no fixed standard of work, the hours of labor are indefinite, the employee's entire time is hiibject to the control of the employer. The position of the employee in the household is that of a semidependent ; her social position is that of an inferior. To improve the character of domestic service the supply of in telligent workers must be increased; to increase the supply of intel ligent workers conditions must be so modified as to make the con ditions in domestic service conform to as great an extent as possible to conditions existing in other industries and especially so modifiad as to put the social position of the domestic employee on a par with that of other wage earners. In other words, DOMESTIC SERV ICE MUST BE PUT ON A BUSINESS BASIS. This can be done only through co-operation on the part of both employers and employees, co-operation based on a better and more scientific conception of the character of household labor. THE PROCE8S MUST BE PRIMARILY EDUCATIONAL, BOTH AS REGARDS EMPLOYER AND EMPLOYEE. Instruction in the public schools in the elementary principles which bear upon household affairs would do much to give to the next generation a better understanding of the importance of house hold labor and of the principles underlying it.

Vinol Makes Pure, Red Blood. Rich, BECAUSE WE KNOWN THIS WE GUARANTEE ITS ACTION. COMPEL THE BAD TRUSTS TO MAKE A SHOWDOWN By JAMES J. MILL, President of the Great Northern Railroad - 18f 0 Impoverished blood is a sure sigrn of internal disorders. We see every day ! too many people whose faces plainly show that there is something1 radically wrong. We want all of our fellow-citizens to know of our splendid blood purifier and blood maker. We refer to Vinol. Vinol, as we have before stated, is a purely scientific preparation. Vinol owes its virtue to the fact that it contains in a highly concentrated state the active curative principles, taken from the livers of live cods the same elements that formerly were found in cod-liver oil, and which made it famous. Vinol does not contain the grease or .fat that characterized cod-liver oil and made it in many cases worthless. Vinol acts upon every one of the great vital organs, and by invigorat ing and giving them strength, enables them to properly perform their fun tioas. : Vinol's effect on the stomach is mar velous. It tones up this, the greatest of the organs of the body, and enables it to obtain from the food which is taken into it the necessary elements to create flesh and muscle tissue, bone structure and pure, rich, red blood. We are in receipt of a letter from a Savation Army woman which reads as follows: " I took" Vinol after a bad attack of grippe, and so mucn good aid it ao me that 1 persuaded my sister to take It. She was all tired out. Had no appe tite and her blood was very poor. It did her as much good as it did me." RKtsr IIabershaw, 718 River St, Fall River, Mass. Won't you please come in and A see us ? We are always glad to extol the merits of Vinol. We will give you back your money if you don't find Vinol will do all we claim It, will. Could any one do more for you? ' J. E. HOOD, Druggist HESIDKXT KOOSEVELT is all right, and his rem edy for what are called trusts is all right, assuming that you want to encourage what is good and pre vent "what is bad. THERE ARE DIFFERENT KINDS OF TRUSTS. SOME OF THEM ARE FORMED FOR GOOD PURPOSES ANT) SERVE THE PUBLIC WELFARE, AND THE PRESIDENT AND MEMBERS OF CONGRESS AND OTHER INTEL LIGENT PEOPLE OUGHT TO BE ABLE TO DISCRIM INATE BETWEEN HONEST AND DISHONEST CORPO RATIONS. Take Herr Krupp, the great German ironmaster, who died the other day, as an example. He was a very rich and power ful and benevolent monopolist and made Germany richer and more prosperous and his 45,000 employees happy. There are other good monopolies. THE LARGE NUMBER OF CONSOLIDATED CORPORATIONS ARE HONEST AND WELL MANAGED AND ARE FOR THE PUBLIC WEL FARE. Others, however, were organized for speculative purposes and capitalized at enormous figures to sell stock to people who-don't know any better than to buy it, and such schemes ought to be crushed out. The remedy is simple. Compel them to make a show down before they are allowed to put stock on the market.' MAKL THEM SHOW WHAT THEY HAVE GOT AND WHAT IT IS WORTH. If a company in Rhode Island .wants ! to sell stock in California, it ought to be required to give people out hero an honest statement of its business, as national banks and insurance companies are compelled to do. , .... , ( 1 D ia WHAT MUST HAPPEN TO THE FILIPINOS fey JACOB COULD SCMURMAN. President af Cornell University : RESIDENT ROOSEVELT has said that the flag will stay in the Philippines as long as it will stay in Alaska. .That means forever. - . . . , I HOPE OUR FLAG WILL STAY IN THOSE ISLANDS UNTIL ITS WORK THERE IS DONE. . But if it is to stay forever one of two things must happen WE SHALL EITHER HOLD THE FILIPINOS IN SUBJEC TION OR WE MUST ADMIT THE ISLAND OF LUZON AND THE VISCAYAN ISLANDS AS UNITED STATES TERRITORIES. . ..
