WHAT WE SPEND FOR EDUCA TION. IV. H. Pittman, chief clerk in the State Department of Public Instruc tion, is authority for the statement that total school expenditures in North Carolina increased from $1,002,203 in 1900 to $29,737,075 in 1924. There has not been an average expenditure yearly, but if there had it would repre sent an increase of more than one and one quarter millions annually. It is of s]>ecial interest to note in tlie report that $22,979,000 of the increase during the 24 years is found in the tive, years since 1919. Up to 1918 expenditures had only reached $6,750,000 but in the 1919-20 period it had increased to $12,250,000 and in 1920-21 period the total had risen to $17,487,703. whereas in the 1921-22 period it was $21,040,095. The school population of North Carolina, reported Mr. Pittman, in creased 263,366 in the interval be tween 1900 and 1924. There were 657.949 children of school age in the state in 1900 and 921.315 in 1924. The increase was 40 per cent, over the number in 1900. The white population was 439,431 in 1900 and 028,132 in 1924. There r were 188,701 more white children in 1924 than in 1900. The increase in the number of white children repre ; sen ted 43 per cent. * " In 1900 there were 218,518 negro | children of school age :n North Caro lina. and in 1924 there were 2113.182,, 1 an increase of 74.655, or 84 per cent. In connection with the aunounee ' inent of financial and enrollment fig ; ures. Mr. Pittman made a study of attendance records. He found that' the total ‘ enrollment in 1900 was 400.452 and in 1924, 793.046, tin in “ erease of 392.594. or 98 per cent. The number of children in average daily attendance in 1900 was 206.918, and in 1924. 571.359, an increase of 392,441 or 176 per cent. Thus, it is j seen that the attendance hud climbed ! | more rapidly than either the increase | in school population or enrollment. In 1900 there were only 30 high f| schools in the state with a total at tendance of 2,000. In 1920 there | were 420, wffh an enrollment of 29,- > 294. and in 1924 there Verc 738 high schools with u combined attend ance of 63,975. White school property in 1923 was || valued at $53,177,235 and negro school property at $61180,770. KEEPS HIS HATRED. Br . General AreusbCrg, commander of |i the G vajui.

The New tork Evening World I ensberg and his attempt to wave what j it calls “the faded bloody shirt.” I The Charlotte Observer is of the (opinion that General Arensberg “mis represents the North and especially the Northern veterans still living” for “during and after the war and until now,'every man who faced Southern, soldiers has held them in high regard —every man who was capable of ad miring supermen, courage without limit and unending enlurance.” The World has this to say about the latest protest from General Arensberg: “The National Commander of the G. A, R. has wired Governor Smith 1 protesting against any encouragement given the drive for funds in New York to complete the Stone Mountain Me morial and describing such help as “approving the actions of traitors.” It is difficult to believe that after all these years this sentiment can still be found. That the South has been best served by the preservation of the Un ion is nowhere better understood than in the South. Since Grant, who was an even greater commander than the Commander of the G. A. R., adopted a policy of generosity and conciliation and expressed the hope for ‘peace,’ much water has passed over the dam. The sons of the men who wore the blue and gray have fought and died side by side in Cuba and in France. Men in frayed uniforms of gray have decorated the graves of those who fell in the fight against them, and men in faded blue have not neglected the graves of the Confederate dead. We are a united Nation, and all Ameri cans. Nothing can be gained by keep ing alive the hatreds of the past, and it is impossible to believe that the gal lant remnant of the army of the Un ion libs been properly represented by the remarkable protest of the Head of the Q. A, R. . , , "Americans are glad because we had a Grant and proud because of the genius, the chivalry, arid the manli ness of Lee.” • TODAY’S EVENTS Thursday, Avgust IS, 1825 Twenty-five years 'ago today died Collis I\ Huntington, the eminent financier and railroad magnate.

Tired, excited and happy was Mabel Xormand when she blew into , the Grand Ceatral yesterday morning from a sweltering transcontinental ■ trip. When we dropped up in the after noon to see her at the Biltmore, she ; was scurrying around in a cool ' organdie frock, wondering when her : trunks would arrive. hoping to get ■ over to see her manager, A. H. i Woods, and then hurrying off with : the hotel manager to select a new : suite. She returned and relaxed with a, sigh on the lounge. “Oh, Im happy. ) I start rehearsing the play Monday.” Take a look at Mabel. She's petite I and s'ender, with gorgeous big hnzel ‘ eyes. She looks great, except her : eybs are a little weary. No wonder. . It’s a long, hot trip from California. , “The newspaper boys gave me a i luncheon in Chicago,” she said. “I | was so tired and excited coming to New York last night I didn't sleep f very well. Yes. this is my first piny.” i beaming. “I just love it and Mr. ’ Woods has so much confidence in me and—well. I’m just happy.” , The play. temporarily called I “Diana of the Movies," though it has nothing to do with the movies, opens ' on Broadway early in September, ‘ playing a week in Atlantic City 1 first. It is a comedy-drama, l Mabel's contracts with Mr. Woods , calls for pictures to be made under , his management as well as plays. Won't it be great to have her back on the screen again? She has several stories in muid from which she will * select her initial screen vehicle. She’s - mighty gfetd to be.in New York and - anticipates the hard work that is , ahead flf her. f -* * — Narcotic Use Is Decreasing. 1 Dearborn Independent.

SYNOPSIS Boi IPilion, the young triimp, con vinett the grief-rtricktn Jim Fowler, who has tried to end his life, that his duty is to live and care for his bahy ton, whose birth caused the death of its mother. They are at Jim’s home in Crater City and Fowler induces Bob to abandon his life as a vaga bond and seek a job with the railroad there. Wilson, who had saved the limited Mail, is a college graduate and mystery surrounds his voluntary adoption of a hobo’s existence. CHAPTER IV—Continued “What could I have done if Prov idence hadn’t sent you in my path? Killed myself, or gone to pieces— with not a living relative to do for ate what you, a-ra—,” Jim broke down. "A homeless bum!" prompted Bob drily, throwing the penknife at i belligerent bumblebee. To cover his embarrassment Jim reached down and wrestled Bob to his feet. “I’m sorry,” he said. “Bob, I’m toing to be old womanish enough to advise you to do one of two things. The first is, that if you are treaking someone's heart by remain >ng away and it is just something that can be explained and forgiven, lon’t ruin your life and others. Rc jiembcr the desolation you’ve seen that couldn’t be helped in .my little some." Jim paused anxiously, his eyes watching for some sign of a break, jome hint of an impression, in Bob's tyes. But he looked in vain: Bob “Wouldn’t it be great if you got to the throttle of the Limited herself some day?” 6tood monumentally—unblinking, unsmiling and unanswering. Jim continued slowly after a few mo ments, “The second is, if you can’t or don’t care to do the first, that you settle down with me here in Crater City. You can bury yourself here as well as any place. This town is no more than a fungus knuckle on a great transcontinental railroad, with no prospects of a future any different than its barren and labori ous past. No one ever comes here who doesn’t have to. You’ll be as Isolated here as on a desert island, ind a damn sight more comfortable than—hoboing!” “It isn’t the comfort I’m consid ering, nor the attractiveness of a tramp’s life,” said Bob, speaking quietly and very deliberately. “It’s lust the satisfaction of knowing that is a bum I would be, like every bum, l living red flag of protest against the topheavy humbuggery of civiliz ed society. Hobodom as a whole social gesture is a crystallized thumbing of the nose by the least hypocritical minority of mankind at the useless shams and cant of the 6mug majority.” “Then why can’t a man of your attainments, who obviously com bines breeding and intellect with a 1 lack of hypocrisy, be individualistic r In his egression of contempt for the \ whole social scheme," said Jim, his i words tripping on one another's | heels in his anxiety to put over the i happy inspiration that he had seized | upon. “Why/ can’t you stay here i and get a job on the railroad and | demonstrate your own private con i tempt by helping to shuttle the [ ‘smug majority’ back and forth oyer ' the Mountain Division in their end | less gaddings?” Bob laughed at the boyish revel ation of Jim’s confidence that his eager enthusiasm would assure vic tory for his argument. And, still, Bob eoulJ think of no good reason for passing up Jim’s proposal. It grew upon him sharply that he would be safer here in Crater City i 11 '..ma—iwj — -■ "tat Dry A*<~nts Start "Reign ,o( Tcrrer regarded ns' “reign of terror” in Geor gia resulting.,(roqi; “illegal net*” by prohibition ngewtsi was described in a ■wtatnnrnt tonight by the ussoefa-. tion against the prohibition nmen'B - _,TJic association cited reports that ffeorgin highways were being blocked with apike-studded boards/ placed ft agents and that automobiles were V -■ : . : 1 ■>' . . ■ ■ .'l from chance contact with anyOo# ha knew than he would be roamitlg around the country, even as a tramp, If the town’s name of “Crater City* was geographically apt, then the so cial status of its citizens might bg well described as "encratered * Bob chuckled with unholy glee; hf would become an oiler or a switch man; something lowly, something “poor but honest.” Oh, it was rich I If only they —if only she—could know. Bob was roused from the daze oj reflections into which he had drifted by a resounding crack on the shoul der from Jim, who misunderstood the causation but not the conse quence of Bob’s chuckling. "You’ll stay,” he rejoiced. “If I can find work — yes,” prom* ised Bob, grinning as he grasped and shook the hand that Jim thrust out. “Today—this afternoon— this very next fifteen minutes— is the—best time to see about a job. We’ll put aside the delight of mumbly-peg— we’ll have to anyway, seeing that you lost your knife—and hike right down to see Morran, the Yard mas ter. He’s a good friend of min# and lie'll steer you into the right berth. Say, what job are we go ing to get for you, anyhow?” Talking rapidly, foolishly, in bis excited interest, Jim had already lead Bob out to the front road and off in the direction of the wide spread yards that made Crater City a veritable cobweb spun with steel threads; a chugging, heaving, smok ing cobweb over and around and through which there fussed-pby day in the sticky glare' of an unshaded sun, and by night in the yellow glimmering of a thousand of its electric imitators—an overalled and begrimed host of human ants who* front time to time, scuttled out ol the path of the Mallet locomotives that sped across the web like giant spiders. “Will it be so easy for me to gel a job that I can have a choicer* asked Bob as they swung down grade on the gravelly hill road. Boh knew that despite his present grooming—so different from th# stubble and dirt of him on that fate ful night a month before!—and his neat, if rather confined, appearanc* in Jim’s second beat suit, he had be come familiar to every child and, householder and trainman in Crates I City during his stay at Jim’s cot- | tage as “the hobo who saved the! Limited.” Therefore, he asked smi lingly, “Isn’t it apt to be ihought some thing of a social phenomenon for a tramp to bq,seeking work?” “It sure is,” Jim chuckled, “and that’s what will put you over. They’ll be flabbergasted enough to make you roundhouse foreman. Seriously, though, after .Morran sizes you up he’ll fit you in some place, all right.” He studied in silence for a few moments Bob’s straight, lithe fig ure and swinging, elastic carriage. Then, with fond admiration, “You’re a husky customer, and 1 guess Morran’ll put you to firing You can step up to driving, from that, when you know the ropes. Say, wouldn't it be great if you gos : to the throttle of the Limited her* self some day, and we’d be making the run together)’” Bob smiled to himself at Jim’i ; naive summation of the ultimatt i goal of Crater City’s ambitious cit : izenry. A small mark, to say th« , least, for one of his. Still, outward : ly he agreed in a flat tone that un doubtedly it would be an ideal a : chievement, but too high and too fat I to be dreamt of for the present. 1 They were down into the tow# I now.
