ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCHES VOLUME XXVI summit ALLEN WAITS EIGHT MONTHS SCHOOLS ‘ I —r— < . Says This Is Necessary to I Put North Carolina on a i Par With Other States in ! Education. i I LONGER TERM IS NECESSARY FIRST Then It Wffl Be Possible to Seek Other Improve-! * ments. Constitutional Amendment Necessary. J (By J. C. BASKERVILL) (Staff Correspondent) Wentworth, Sept. 18. —Readily ad mitting that North Carolina still has n long way to go ip order to compare favorably wltji other states in the matter of public' education, A. T. Al len. state superintendent of education, today maintained that the first step ■ necessary to put the state on a par with other states Is the creation of an eight months school term, instead of the present six months term, in an address today before the teachers, com mitteemen and board of education of 1 Rockingham county here today, on the eve of the openiug of the county schools Monday morning. When the eight months school term ’has been ob tained, then it will be possible to seek other improvements, none of which , can be hoped for until the longer term has been made u reality, Mr. Alien asserted. In order to clear up the inisappre- j liension on the part of some people |, that the eight mouths school term | may be forced upon them against their will, Mr. Allen first explained the one { . and only process by which the eight | months term may become a reality, as i follows: ( First, it may be done only by con stitutional amendment, after the gen- j eral assembly has authorized a special | election, setting forth in clear terms j what is to be voted upon. Second. Hie measure must be. rati- i fieri by the vote of the people before it can become law, i Thus the next general assembly, { would first bar* to authorize the elec- j tion, which could not be held before 1 the heat Tuesday after till first day in November, 11128, Then, if i rttffed. (hV «**!**■ would have to set up tie necessary < run*Pinery for putting the longer term I into effect, and the eight months term ■ proper could not go Into effect until 1 the 1020-HJ3O term. < "It has "been suggested that this 1 would be going too rapidly for the peo- ( pie of North Carolina. But the more statement of the plan showa that 1 nothing can be doue in the matter ( without ratification by the people * themselves,’' Mr. Allen stated; “It * therefore becomes a question for the * people to determine nud cannot .be ! set up against their will. The peo ple of the state mustdbe in favor of it or nothing can be done toward accom plishing it. . "In spite of the simplicity and the j apparent fairness of the plan for the realization of the eight months school ( term, there are those among us who ( would delay the beginning of the plan € for one reason or another. "One group says that we must wait until we have an ample supply of | teachers. It is possible to secure , good teachera with only a six months < term, and can give them Employment ( for only half tint year? At present | it is possible to find good teachers f in the city schools nml the longer i term schools. But what we desire is good teachers in every sc'liool in < the state. In place then of trying 1 to supply a better teaching force for ] the six months term schools, would I we not be wiser to extend the term to < eight months and thereby .provide < greater inducement to the young men 1 and women of the atate to become ' teachers? In my opinion, better i teaching is dependent uppn longer j term rather than on a short' term ' with a better teaching force.” Still another group would have the ■ state wait "until the people get ready for a longer term,” Mr. Allen said. , But the question of readiness is one for the people of the state to decide for themselves —and that is all that the department of education is ask ing. "I am willing to abide by their decision, and I do not fear the result,” Mr. Allen said. “We are told again that we must not start until a better scheme of tax ation lias been worked out. I am no expert on taxation, and shall there- , fore make no uttempt to pass on the system of taxation that we now hare, or to suggest any new system to be evolved in the future. What Ido ob ject-dot is making the length of the school term awuit the adjustment of all questions of taxation that/ may now exist." "The eight months school term is bigger than any scheme of taxation, for schemes of taxation can be ad justed from time to time and tbe people have permanent institution, to which every boy irtul girl in the state is entitled. And I should like to see it embedded in the constitution and 'guaranteed by it, supported by such schemes of tuition as each suc ceeding general assembly In Its wis dom may see flt to provide. “We are already comas’tted to a universal principle of equal educa tional opportunity at public expense. The only new question raised here la, what shall be the'extent of that op portunity? “It we await tbe dual and satis- The Concord Daily Tribune *. —1 _ _ North Carolina’s Leading Small City Daily Florida Coast Again Lashed By Hurricane I Coming From Bahamas j RECOMMENDATION AS tO THE FEEBLE-MINDED !

Oil the recommendation jof the heads of the various State (corrective institutions, is perhaps the major recommendation j contained | among the seven which are made in l the report of the committee on the feeble nrtnded. of which Dr. W. S. Rankin is chairman, and which was today mode public by Governor A. W. McLean. The report, which is! most thorough and exhaustive and reflects the latent and most up to date finding on the question of feib e miudedness • and idoey. first goes into nil able outline of the problem as it exists In North Caro lina. considers the value of the various forihs of treatment which have been evolved, and finally con cludes with seven recommendations, cither ns to desired legislation or general policy to be followed in the handling of the situation. The seven recommendations, n brief, are ns follows: 1. To give preference in the treat ment of cases at Ctascwcll Training School which are the most burden some on the family or community. 2. To employ a more modern sys tern of cost finding, ami to seek to re- j habilitate wherever possible, provid ing for the parole and discharge of i a certain number of patients annual ly- 3. That nil present building plans take into consideration future needs j for a period of 25 years, with an ultimate capacity of 2,000 at the Casewell Training school. 4. That legislation be enacted requir ing mental and physical examina tion of nil school children in the StMte who have become retarded one year in school.' to see if they are mentally or physically defective. _. 5. That legislation be enacted to authorize the superintendent of State Prison, the Caswell Traiuiug School or the heads of any of the hospitals for the insane to authorize atsriUaation operations on either a male or female inmate or patient, vlsaw-iw estimation rock -an operation would be in the interest of tup general welfare. Such reeom menmitlolm must be submitted in writing to the State Roari* of Health and the State Department of Public Welfare for approval, before the operations would be allowed. 0. That parents be required to pay in whole or in part the expenses of children in the Caswell school when ever they are financially able to do so and that where this is not pos sible. the counties assist in paying the expenses of the cases which come from fhem. 7. That the Capacity of the Cas well Training School be increased to accommodate 150 additional inmates, increasing the capacity from 540 ns it is at present to 000. which would require an appropriation of not ex ceedlng $120,000. Per capita cost of maintenance at present should not exceed S3OO a year, the report sets forth. In tbe light of recent happenings, the proposal to enlarge the Caswell school may meet with considerable opposition, as may also the recom mendation for the examination of nil backward school children, ns set forth in the fourth recommendation above. In giving out the report \>f the committee to the press. Governor McLean stated that he was much im pressed with the comprehensive way the subject had been treated, and oommendEd Dr. Rankin nnd the other members of the committe for the excellent work they had done. The entire report "s to be printed and will be sent to every member of the legis’ature and to others who are inteaested.

Sept. 17.—The city to day had finished gathering details : mid was ready to present its case tomorrow in Mecklenburg Superior Court in opposition to a permanent injunction allowing continuance of [services by the “Right Rev.

City Attor- I ney Fred Helms was understood to i hnve sensntional charges ready to ; prefer against the "Bishop.” ! Among these reports was one call ing for deportation proceedings al leging that Grace was detained at ! Ellis Is'and at one time, being final -Ily admitted on the ground that he I was a minister. This, however, -had I not been officially confirmed by etty | commissioners. A newspaper in the hands of Com missioner of Safety Robertson also j promised to play a part in the hear : ing.

The paper also carried a picture of Grace, which Commissioner Rob ertson said was an excellent like ness to the “Bishop.” The ease of Grace came suddenly to the forefront here last Saturday j morning when a riot squad of the local police force was called out to protect citizens and property when several hundred negroes gathered be fore the city hall to protest banning I the "Bishop's" aetivities.
