Goes to Winston-Salem lo
Take Position
Advertising Manager of The Times
Leaves to Take Position on the
Winston-Salem Journal Times'
Force Presents Him With Hand
soma Present.
Mr. George C. Hall, advertising
manager of The Times,, leaves this
afternoon for Winston-Salem,- where
he takes the position of business
manager of the Journal of that city.
The Times, Thursday, expressed edi
torially, its appreciation of Mr. Hall
and his work, but it will not be amiss
to say again here that this paper re
grets to give him up, and all the em
ployes, hi3 associates in the work of
mak:ng the paper, see him go with
tae greatest reluctance. He has been
with the paper so long that he seems
almost a part of it and the employes
are all wondering today what the of
fice will be like without George Hall.
He kuows all the ins and outs of the
business and so it was the fixed habit
of the perplexed and uncertain fellow-worker
on the paper to at all
times turn to him for aid. "Ask
George Hall" was a familiar injunc
tion in this shop. ,
And so we give him up with re
luctance, not alone because we will
iniss his work, but because he was
and is a good companion and firm
.friend at all times. v:
Thursday afternoon it was the
pleasure of all the men who work on
the paper to gather in the editorial
rooms and present Mr. Hall with a
fine gold watch fob as an earnest of
their friendship and best wishes for
the future. And again, we hate to
see him go. but our best wishes go
with him.
OH! YOU DIXIE GIRL.

State Superintendent of Public In
struction J. Y. Joyner has just issued
his biennial report. In many respects
It Is the best report ever issued by a
state superintendent. His discussion
of the needs of the department and
the problems confronting the work
is a masterly one.
His recommendations, respectfully
submitted to the governor and to the
legislature-are as follows: . i
To aid in the accomplishment of
the work here outlined for the prog
ress and development of the public
school system, I beg to make the fol
lowing recommendations:
1. That there shall be little inter
ference with the present school law,
which I believe to be the best school
law that the state has ever had. The
people and the school officers are be
ginning to become acquainted with
the law and to be familiar with its
workings. Some additions seem to
be necessary, but there should be few
changes and no radical changes. It
will be wise to seek to continue to
progress along the lines already
marked out by the present school law
and to begin to have a permanent ed
ucational policy.
2. That section 4167 of the public
school law be so amended as to re
quire the appropriation of at least
$200 biennially by each county for
conducting one or more teachers' in
stitutes and summer schools in that
county. ; (See following pages of this
report under heading "Improvement
of county Institutes and summer
schools.")
3. That the special appropriation
or $200,000 for the -public scaoo;s be
continued because, at present, the
special tax that would be required in
many counties to provide even a four-
months school .without the aid of
this appropriation, would be so heavy
as to be burdensome, amounting :n
some of the weaker counties to as
much as 30 cents on the $100 valua
tion of property and 90 cents on the
poll, which, In addition to the 18
cents school tax required by the state
to be levied, woul dmake a total
school tax of 48 cents on the $100
valuation of property; and the total
school tax in the special tax-districts
in these counties would increase this
from 10 to 30 cents on the $100 val
uation of property. The state can
well afford to aid in strengthening
and building up the weak places of
the state, as it can be no stronger
than Its weakest place.
4. That the Irfw regarding the ap
portionment of the second $100,000
be so amended as to require each
county receiving aid from this to raise
as much by special tax on all its prop
erty and polls for a four months school
in every district as it received from
the second $108,000; and that the
balance of this second $100,080 oe
distributed by the state board of ed
ucation in such a manner as to equal
ize, as nearly as may be. the per
capita apportionment in the various
counties and the length of the school
term. This plan of distribution, it
seems to me, will be more equitable
and will be based upon the principle
of requiring the counties to help
themselves at least as much us the
state helps them.
5. That sectioa 4119 of the public
school laws bo so amended as to
make the term of office of the mem
bers of the county board of education
six years, so arranged that the term
of one member of the board shall ex
pire every two years. By retaining a
majority of old members on the board
each year the possibility of a radical
change, in the educational policy of
the county every two years, will be
prevented, and the danger of mis
takes from the administration of
