Crow, N. C. - I am Bure our people, once they mUn the distress ol their fellow - July 27tlu ,1916. , - Tea Dollars A Day What is a day in school worth? What is education worth? Are you thinking about quitting school to take a rjob" at small pay? If so, Stop, Lmk, Listen. Let work a simple example in Arithmetic. Supt. Schueffer, of Pennsylvania, has worked it out about as follows: I(sn uneducated manearues$l 50 s day for 800 days in a year, he does very wel; and if he keeps it up for 40 tears, he will earn $1 50 x 300 x 40. or $10,000. An educated man is usually paid by the month or by the year. If you ill strike an average of the earnings of educated men. beginning with the President of the United States, the presidents of in su ranee companies and of large in dustrial corporations, and run down the scale until you come to the low er walks in point of earnings smong educated men, you will admit that $1000 a year is a low average for the earnings of educated labor. . For 40 years you have $40,000 as the earnings of an educated man. Sub tract $18,000 from 140,000, and the difference, or $22,000, must repre sent the value of a boy's time spent in school getting an education. You wU) admit that a man . who works at unskilled labor puts forth as much muscular effort as s man who earns a livelihood by his wits and education. Now if 123,000 re presents the value of the time a boy spends at school getting sn educa tion, wbat is the value of a day spent at school? It takes a boy between 11 and 12 years to go through the graded and high school. If we multiply -the number of years by the number of days in a school year, we will get close to Z.200 school days as the time required to obtain - an education. Divide $22,000, the value of a boy's time spent in school, by 2,200, the number of days spent in school, 4nd we arefbreed to UM-eaiaktstihiKt: each day at school, properly spent, must be worth $10. Did you ever ' cur' school to go fishing? Was the "catch" worth 110? Did you ever "snap" school to go hunting? " Was the "kill" worth 10? Did you ever "lay out" of school to go to the circus? Was the show worth tlO? Did your parents ever keep you out of school for a day to help - on the farm, at the store, or around the house? If they did. they were paying $10 for your labor, when they could have gotten ti hired man for about $1.50. What about it boys, girls, parents? "Twenty-Third" Sam. 1. My wife is my boss, I shall not deny. 2. She maketh me lie down be hind the bed when the swell com pany cume, and the leadeth me be hind her up Main Street. 3. She restoreth mv eket book after she has spent all' ii! contents on hobble skirts and theatre tickets, and she leadeth me up the main aisle at church for her new hat's sake. " 4. Yea: though I walk more than half the night through dark rooms with a crying baby, I will get no rest, for she is behind me; her broomstick and her hatpin, they do everything but comfort me. 1 5. She prepareth a cold snack for me, then maketh a beeline for an aid society supper. She annointeth my head with the rolling pin occas ionally.

Thirty-six million dollars has been trimmed off the war funds for the Mexican campaign, since there little likelihood that the militia will cross the border. The total number of deaths among children in the city of New York on account of the ravages of infantile paralysis has reached almost s thou sand within the past few weeks. While every effort is being made to check the. destruction of children, deaths are occurring daily." Thus far no 1 definite preventative has been discovered to stop the ravages of the disease, which is puzzling the most renowned -physicians ef the country. Heavy rains and the continual de struction of property in Western North Carolina has brought shout horrible conditions and the people are in dire distress. Each day adds to the terrible loss of life snd ap peals are being made for aid for the sufferers, hundred of whom are homeless and without food. On ac count of all railroad . traffic being tied up on account of washouts it is quite difficult to reach hundreds of people who are marooned in the mountain wilds. Relief expeditions have been formed and every effort is being made to provide for the sufferers. During a great "Preparedness Pa rade" in San Francisco a few. days ago some fanatical opponent, to the exercises wreaked an awful venge ance upon the unsuspecting crowd of paraders by exploding a bomb in the midst of thousands- Of 'people and as a result of the awful explo sion a number, of people, including Hteu?"ymau awJ uhlldi at '' were killed outright or terribly mangled. The bomb was concealed in an old suit case and stood near the side of a building, and passers-by had no thought that it contained and in strument of death which had been timed to explode during.the parade. Thus far only one arrest has been made by the officials of the city but a lull investigation ol the affair is being made. The British warships are making every effort to capture the German submarine ueutschiand which ar rived in American waters some weeks ago when she attempts to make her return voyage to Ger many. v New warships of the allies have been patroling the waters near the Virginia capes for some days watching for the incoming sister ship Bremen, which has been ex pected to laud in American waters this week. The Deutschland will in all probability remaiii in Ameri can waters until the Bremen arrives or her fate is ascertained. In the meantime, the Deutschland has al ready takeu on her cargo and her commander will put to sea within the next few days, despite the fact that British ships are patroling the seas watching for her. Adoption of School Books.
