injr the two years I have l?een con
nected with the sehool as a teacher
ami director of athletics. Many boys
and ?ir]s have expressed to me the
dc-irc to come to Cullowhee, but when
thry found out that they could not
pf the courses they wanted they
tiNirally went elsewhere; or_ in
mhiic eases remained at home. \\ e
?'"uH change from the present take
?'f or leave it teacher training atti
tude to one that would provide cours
^ suitable and desirable for boys and
t-'irls that are interested in profes
si?"is other than teaching. We should
otter teacher training for those who
?lesire it, but should not stop at thai
The time is ripe for an i institution
:'i Western North Carolina that will
'ain boys and g'rls for the many
I'ufessions that are opening up in
this section. A complete line of courS
k- should be offered ii?t Forestry, Hot

I hat may not ntejui much, Inn i(
proves one thing that 1 have long
uaintaiued. That is than n.'wspap.T
t'ork is not, as people oft; n say, a
? young man's game."
Foe Kml Birehall is (is years old,
nd , Ins IM'I'ii a newspaptri correspond-*
?nt for only three years! As a very
/oung man he worked for a shoi
imc as a ivjun'ter. Their he <rot an ed

This is one occupation in which a

?ealth lasts.
3RAIN .... doesn't wear out
The human brain doesn't wear out.
t grows with use. Not long liefore
lis death I asked Thomas A. Kdisoli
tow he kept his youthf<ul outlook. He
tad been talking, at. 92, of things h<
vas ^oiiig to do next. ''You can keep
your brain young by working it hard,
le replied.* "It grows in jmwer with
ise. The only thing that g^ows obi
? bout a man is his lw)dy. II' my
tomoch holiLs out I'll he inventing
new things and better things at 100".
I am convinced 'that Kdison was
ight . Of course, some me.n stop
hinking others never did use their
brains much. But the man who has
i good brain and uses it to its limit
;rows in ability as time goes on
YOUTH and ambition
It is characteristic of youth that
y j *
everything seems important to the
young. This is natural, for every
thing is new to the young. Nothing
like it ever happened before. Wars
ami depressions and hard times and
lebt audi grand ideas for making I In
world over make a strong impression
on youth heeanse they are never ex
jK'riei'.ces.
In my youth I used to hear the
ancient, proverb. "A man's a fool till
lie's forty". I don't believe it of
oouAse. Youth never* believes 4ha'
its elders know anything about its
problems. But after a man has
reaeluid . middle age In* begins to real
ize that the things- that lie gets so
excited al>oiit aVo-afl old story to bis
parents. They had been through the
mill and knew the answers A.nd the
answers were nothing like what youth
hojight they were.
It is, perhaps, a good thing that
votrth does not know that mo t of its
dreams will .never come true For un
less the voung believed they could
accomplish miracles, they would never
try /And it is. only by trying to do
the impossible that humanity gets a
littie farther along with each new
generation.
GRADUATES .... jobs waiting
I don't know how tetany voung men
were graduated from the nation's col
leges and universities this June, but
I hear a great deal of talk layout
there being no jobs for them. There
seems to be an idea prevalent 'thai
when a bov has finished college th<
world ought to have his pigeon-hole
ready for him to crawl into and be
safe and secure for the- rest of his
life. { ) , \ ;
That never was true and it never
will be true. There as just an many
jobs for the really competent as there
ever were. I/>ok around you if you
don't believe that, and see if you
find a man who is actually LwUustrious
ambitious and competent who hasn't
-jfot >o!nething to do.
T talked the other day {with the
vico-president of oiw of the higf
companies. "We can't get hold of
enough ambitious young ijicn to man
our filling stations as we would like
to have them manned," he said . "If
you know any college boys looking
for a ehance tp start iff the ^ J
nes, send them to me." '

The subject of holding primaries,
to give the people the opportunity to
expressi their choice for the two Sen
ators to'be elected by the next leg
islature is being discussed. The State
Executive Committee of the Demo
cratic party met in Raleigh, yesterday
and may make some suggestions on
the subject.
For several years we have not fail
ed to have green beans for dinner on
June 11th, and this year was m>t an
exception, but it was a tight sqtueeze
this year on account of the distress
ing drought which has prevailed for
several weeks. Webster and vicinity
has not had rain since the first week
in April and) this section is little bet
ter off in that respect, there having
been no rain here of any consequent*
ainee May 9th. Unless we get rain is *
a few days the damage to field &q|
garden crops will be irreparable.
