Coggln, state supervisor of trade and industrial education, of the division ’of Vocational Education, indicate'that she night classes started over the state last September have enjoyed unusual success. Attendance at tht* scotch of night schools has held up despite the many troubles encoun tered. by the department. Chief among the difficulties encoun tered by the , department in running flirt schools is that the state appro priation for the maintenance of the evening classes is about\ exhausted. Tpe federal government will not pay the One-haff part of the upkeep of the work \nnless the state makes a suffi cient appropriation to cover gne fourth.. Mill owners pay the other fourth. However, stated Mr. Coggin, private contributions are being made in or der that the federal government Will nut atop ffs appropriation in the ups keep of the work. Heads of the various textile Con cerns, which have nightr'schools for theft employes, have written Mr. Cog grn and signified their intention of keeping the schools running, regard less of whether; the state furnished any aid or not. They, according to ilr. fcoggin, feel that ft is better to educate their own -help rather than import others to fill the positions of trust in the mills. Employes coming up from the ranks usually get alcpg better with those [under them thafi those imported from other sources. Moreover, contends the head of the ,trade and industrial department, any wofkmcn in the mills having had the iberteht of the training given by the night schools will do better work for his employer. M. L. Rhodes, assistant state su pervisor, who was in the city yester rd*y, declared that the night schools fn the western Piedmont section of the state had enjoyed wonderful suc cess with the schools. FRENCHMEN FLEE FROXI fUMBfe INUNDATING LAND Whole Sections Turned Into Lakes.— Seine Rising an Inch an Hour. Paris, Dec. 29.—The floods in east ern France are assuming almost she proportions of a disaster. The Doubs and its tributaries are far out of their banks and have converted the plain of Xlout Beliard into a vast lake. The inhabitants of the villages had to de camp hurriedly in the night. Many farms acrisotated and the Brriiise plain, famous throughout France for its chickens, is under- water. ' The Seine is rising an inch an hour and the' fields" are flooded all around Chalons, while the lower parts of Chagney are unundated. The Rhine, however, appears to have reached the maximum, and it is hoped will begin to recede tomorrow. But it already has done much damage. Floods also are beginning to appear in the-Chateaux country ,iu the de partment of Cher. The Seine and its tributaries, Tonne and Xlarne, are swollen and still rising. They have done no damage thus far and river traffic continues. state Taught him TO WEAVE BASKETS .Invalid fiends Governor Flower Bas ket for Christmas to Show Appre ciation. Raleigh. Dec. 28.—Governor Xfc- Lean received a flower basket as a Christmas present today from a man 1 the state taught to weave as a means of making a living. “t am an invalid, caused by n spell of typhoid fever when I was ten years old, rendering me unable to do any physical work,” he wrote the governor. “I am . now thirty-two and unable to walk atone, but for the interest manifested fn me by *the state in teaching me the art of weav ing or basketmaking. I would be de pendent upon wharity -for my support for which I am grateful.” The letter is a tribute to the voca tional bureau of the state department of education which has taught eraft manship to many cripples, preparing them to earn their own' living.

W. STRAUS, President American Society foe Thrift. rIB most recent reports of sav ings by the people of this coun- Iry show remarkable gains. • The tabula ■ tions include savings deposits of all clhmee in the banks and trust -companies. - They Indicate a per capita sav ings of $294, a gain of about sl6 over 1924. The figures, which are giVen out by the sav ings bank division of the American Bankers Association Ore for the year ended June 30. The total savings for the year, according to the bankers statis ticians, were 51,945,000,000, which was half a billion greater than dur ing the previous twelve months. The year netted a gain of 2,566 #o6 depositors, which was quite significant, as it means a gain in savers fully 1,000,000 more than the gain in population. The total num ber of depositors was given at 43,- $60,127 or one out of every 2.6 of population. These thrifty Ameri cans have to thafer Credit. It is Interesting to note that New England remains true to traditions, being the thriftiest section of the country, with a per capita of sav ings bank deposit* of $473. This was a gain of 32 per cent over 1924. We are finding more and more that thrift education pays. And we *hall see still greater gains in these figures as the years pass, for the value of educational thrift has been demonstrated. From an bumble beginning ten lea n ago the teaching of thrift in the schools of this country has grown Steadily. Any nation that recognizes thrift as a rightful part of public educa tion, as is the case in America, can not fall to show splendid results In the form of increased bank savings Ud ip countless other ways, \ Entertains Westfcrd Board at Sup per.
