Xot because the onc ; teacher may not be efficient but because' no one person can do as well in a school j as two or three teachers. In State School Facts wc find that in ' the year 1000-01 there were 5,111 white and 2,418 colored one-teacher schools, a total cf 7,820. By the year 1919-20 the .total had dropped to 2,513 white and 1,- | 7GI colored schools of this class and in §1935-26 the total had dropped further to 2,322 white ,and 1.188 colored schools fwith just one teacher. ! i From School Facts We learn further 'that there were 42,970 white children and »0i*j,263 colored children enrolled in one rjeacher schools in 1925-20. This repre enrollment and 28.5 per cent. m the colored rural elementary enroll-! Sltjent. The year preceding, there were white children attending one-; alacher schools, and two years preceding, 1 blp23-24, there was an enrollment of 54,- -349 white children in this type of school, g! The largest enrollment of White chil jtiSfen in this type of school for any one Ivjcjbunty was in Wilkes County which had 83i827 children in 4-4 such schools. Ran & olpli which has been at the foot of the it as to the mimber of otte-teacher i bools for wo years, is now next to I ilkes, having 1,461 children in 41 of ese small schools. Edgecombe, Vhnce, and Wilson coun es have no schodls of this type for white : tildren. Only five counties, Yadkin, Sorry,' ' she, Randolph and Wilkes, have as : any as 1,000 or more white children : irolled in one-teacher schools. There were 29,253 white children and 1(33,488 colored children in average daily in one-teacher schools in 51»35-20. This represented 68.1 per cent, u the white enrollment and 62.4 per cent. : £f the colored enrollment in this type of iKhool. S In 1924-25, 67 .0 per cent, and ill 1923- g 8&, 66.4 per cent, of the white enrollment •ifi one-teacher schools was in average JdSiily attendance. There is discernible a jMight tendency for puplfs to attend Igjljgool better even in these small schools. Attendance in one-teacher schools is •still poor, however. Among the counties Hljiis percentage sos the white race varies ?|p|om 41.3 in .Jones to 86.7 in Dare. At ffitfriidance is very pOor in Greene, Rfrt-h --criord, Halifax, Jones, Tyrrell. Lenoir, ;||§tcikes, Onslow, and Rockingham coun |ji In the colored school conditions in re ||gfa«l to attendance arc still worse. Only |§§t a very,,few instances do the colored Utjtyffij regularly in . one || For the §tat« as a wliote, there iytre white pnpHa.ih average dafly attend year, 1924-23. Isa 1933-34 there were 22.5 pupils in attendance 18r each teacher em ployed. It appears, therefore,‘that the number of pupils per teacher in one teacher white schools is static. ' In the colored one-teacher schools there were, in 1925-26, 28.9 pupils in average daily attendance for each teacher em ployed. The 1,308 white teachers employed in one-teacher schools were paid an aver age monthly salary of $73.79, and the ■1,195 colored teachers, $53.42. It took $96,523.65 to pay these white teachers ' and $63,839.00 to pay these colored teach ers for one month. Salaries paid these white teachers rang ed all the way from $130.00 a month in Durham County to $61.67 a month in Greene County, and salaries paid color ed teachers in this type of school ranged from SIO6IOO a month in New Hanover to I $37.50 a month in Watauga. It cost an average of 16.5 cents to give ; instruction to each pupil in average dai ly attendance in the white one-teacher schools, and 9.3 cents in the colored j schools. For each pupil enrolled it cost 11.2 cents a day for the white race and 5.8 cents a day for the colored race. In 1924- 25 it cost 10.7 cents a day to instruct a white child enrolled in a one-eacher school, and in 1923-24 it cost 10.3 cents on the same basis. Among the counties the cost of in struction for white children based on the number of pupils ranged from 7.5 cents a day in Greene County to 35.1 cents a day In Durham County. On the attendance basis, the average! daily cost of instructing a child in the one-teachcr white schools ranged from 12.0 cents a day in Stanly to 52 cents a day in Durham, and in the colored schools from 4.9 cents a day in Kdgccombe to 20.9 cents a day in Transylvania. In Cabarrus county, the figures show, in 1923-24 there were 10 one-teacher schools for white children and 14 for col ored children. The next year the total white schools of this class had dropped to 15 and last year to 14. The enrollment in these white schools last year was 459 and in the colored schools 570. I WHERE THE GOVERNMENT IS j HANDICAPPED. The government's counsel states that it will be ready for the trial of Sinclair and Fall next month in charges of con spiracy to defraud the government. The charges grew out of the acquisition of Teapot Dome naval leases by the Sin clair interests. The government will be ready but its case will be materially weakened by the absence of two star witnesses, James E. O’Neill and Harry- Blackmer. Govern ment counsel says the presence of these men is “vital” to the case. Where are these men? In France, where they have been ever since the oil scandal started. When the civil suit was begun in Cheyenne in 1925 the gov ernment needed these men but they could not be brought back. They went to France to escape subpoena as there is no law to bring them back. In this con nection it is interesting to note that Con gress so far has refused to act on the Walsh act, which will penalize these two witnesses up to SIOO,OOO each if they re sist the subpoena which Justice Bailey is asked to grant. Blackmer was chairman of the Mid west Refining Company and O’Neill was President of the Prairie Oil and Gas Company. They know about the oil transactions and if there is nothing wrong why do they decHrre to testify? Why don't their friends offer to aid the govern ment if the deals were all legal and above board? A CHAIN AFFAIR. Seme weeks ago a Georgia mob took a man from his home and flogged him to such an extent that He died. W. E. Brown, a lawyer in the Georgia town, prosecuted the case and succeeded in gaining some convictions. And now a mob, perhaps the same' one, has taken the lawyer from his home, tied him up, strip ped him and beaten him. What is the State of Georgia to do Vh this case? Apparently members of the mob are trying to intimidate everybody. Their action indicates cfr at least leaves the impression that any one taking ail active hand agafftst thefti Will suffer the same fate as the first mail flogged, j 'Jfiey have made a chain affair out of therr viotatiottS. “Keep out of this of take the £6usbqilth£es” tjebrns t 6 be theif attitude.

Kaliegh News and Observer. The cotton problem is the big one for the South :i ml for the country. This does not refer to the j immediate solution of holding back part of this i year's crop and reducing acreage for 1927. These duties are so essential and plain as to need no emphasis. If the whole crop raised this year is rushed on the marked, everybody knows that the price will go to pieces. Everybody knows that if the 1927 cotton acreage isn't reduced at least one-fourth, there will be a cotton debacle. As suming there is enough common sense to carry out \ those two essentials, agreed upon at the Memphis meeting, what afterwards? When California was selling its raisins and prunes and grapes at prices that.left little or no profit to the producer, what was done to improve the situation? There was united action to pro- t diice a larger demand and bigger markets for what j was grown. Some of their products arc perish- j able, but, even so, united action and co-operation lifted California growers out of distress into pros- '■ perity. Is there not a lesson from this for cotton growers ami cotton manufacturers? The New York Commercial says that the ser ious problem in the South—the lack of demand — must be solved by creating the demand. It says: That’s the way the manufacturer docs when he finds his product moving slowly. The way to j create the demand has been found. It has never failed to work. It is simple and whenever tried | has been found profitable—Advertise the cotton, j Tell the people about cotton. Keep that word | before them. The public will react. The demand | will be created. The surplus will be quickly ab- j sorbed, and in the future, there will be no sur plus. The grower niff profit. The mills will orptit. The dealers will profit. Yes. the entire nation will profit. With the style experts of the mills and the big distributors working on the problem and the technical experts in the mill helping it shouldn't be hard to bring out a fabric which would appeal j to women's taste. There is no sense in appealhfjg/l to patriotism in this matter. It is not patriotic, j .t is business. Appeal to natural good taste and I to the pocketbook. With the retailers, the frontier of the industry, devoting at least half of their j daily or weekly advertising space in the local j newspapers, a buying power can be generated which in the mass will do wonders. They will have price appeal—still a big appeal in this country as elsewhere Before cotton stumped in price, there were many, -ottdn mills in the se ne position as cotton growers.! They had no demand. Those mills that had par ticular brands and advertised rarely lacked de mand and some of them had such large demand they ran day and night. The demand must be created. It is here that the manufacturers must take the lead, but all should co-operate. THE SOUTH AND A CATHOLIC CANDIDATE New York World. If you wan to make a real test as to whether , Southern Baptists will vote for a Roman Cath olic. try them on Senator Walsh of Montana. * * * They reject him as the product and candidate of Tammany Hall, ns odious a political organization as exists on this continent. This is the statement of the Rev. George IV. McDaniel, pastor of the First Baptist Church of Richmond, in a letter to Ihe Atlanta Constitution. It is a statement of more than average interest for the reason that Dr. McDaniel is President of the Southern Baptist Convention, and no doubt speaks for many Baptists in the South, It is agreeable to find Dr. McDaniel stating his opposition to the candidacy, or the potential can cratic home-rule to advocacy of Prohibition for didacy, of Gov. Smith on other grounds than re ligious grounds. The whole spirit of religious liberty in this country forbids the introduction of a religious issue into politics. On the other hand. Prohibition and Tammany Hall are perfectly le gitimate subjects of political controversy. And though we wish that Dr. McDaniel's advocacy of ProhibiHon were limited by a respect for derno those districts which actually desire it. we do not gainsay his right to oppose any man in any party for failure to stand on the Volstead act. Though we think Dr. McDaniel is a little naive aboHt the exclusive claims to wickedness of Tammany Hall among political organizations in this country, he challenges no fundamental precept Os American liberty when he opposes a Tammany man on the ground that he is a Tammany man. The ihiportant thing is to get fid of the bigotry that accompanies the introduction of the religious issue. Wc do not question the siccerity of Dr. McDaniel's statement. But the sincerity of his statement is bound to be judged iu the light of (he efforts which lie and his colleagues makes to break the hold of the Ku Klux Klau on the Bap tist Church in Certain sections of the South. Sot Seeded, anyway. «• Durham Herald. The veterans’ loan fund must ugirin fun the gauntlet of the courts. Two years afco the plan to issue bonds to raise a fund for aiding veterans of the world war to own their honies was ap- I proved by the electorate. A flaw wtls found in j it; and it >yas re-submitted, to the voters last November. It was ratified, tbit is, tlie majority of the comparatively small number of votefs who took enough interest in it to vote at all, voted favorably. Now it seems that it doesn't appear just legal yet, and the court wiH once more have to. attend to it. If the whole affair should be deefered illegal or unconstitutional or something else wrong, there wouldn't be much complaint. The Ameri can Legion, for whose members the proposal wits designed, is not usiting for it. and, in fact, hasn't endorsed it. If the Legion doesn't curt aboft the loan, then why should anybody else vtorry Mbdiit it? Not many people believe that Hie plan will be of any great value to the ex-service uieu. It hus been pointed out that money can be secured now for almost as reasonable terms, the main difference being in (he percentage of the value of the property, the fund enabling Inn-rowers to get a bigger iiyni according, tb value, of property; tliau bunks .a'ritr tjeciisfquied t«!igiyc,,- .SwUcTP the (right sort of wifpts’'nuiMSr to bflijd his. hoate.

Since Lenin died more than 3.(100.006 persons have viewed the body lying so life like in the mausoleum next to the I Kremlin wall that many simple minded peasants exclaimed: “He is | living." ; Others, however, are skeptical and it has lately been rumored that a waxen figure had been substituted for the body. “We would welcome scientists of high standing from America and other countries to make the same [ tests and refute the rumor,” said Commissionar of Health Semashko to ! Universal Service today. ! Professor Victor Schilling, of the 1 Berlin ('harite Hospital requested that he be allowed to personally cmi vinee himself that Lenin's body 'V ‘till preserved. I)r. Voronbiev, p-.- fessor at the University of Kharkov, who directed the embalming of Len in’s body, conducted a party of live to the mausoleum while several hun dred persons waited outside for a chance to file swiftly by the body of “Ilyitcih.” Lamps of 2.000 candle power were substituted for the ordinary lights, ('nder that glow there before the eyes of the scientist* lay Lenin in the glass rase. His face was pair. Hut (dearly outlined. The skin was smooth and his whiskers slightly dis arranged, but he looked us though he had just fallen asleep. Professor Schilling put his arm ’hrough a small aperture in the glass of the coffin. He found the skin of f hc face "perfectly elastic” When the car was bent doub’e it suiting back to place as though it belonged to a living man. The face wus moist with hundreds of tiny drops of water which gave a lifelike appear ance of imrspiration, but which was caused try the 90 per cent, humidity : aside the coffin, which the secret nibalming process requires. The entire, body was elastic, and ’hough he has been dead for two vearx and ten months, rigidity has not set in. Dr. Voronbiev has kept secret the means used to achieve the icsult which doctors describe as more mar 'dous than the forgotten art of the Egyptian mummy-makers. Vew Path so Sleep Rests In Ten Words. Xeiv Haven. Con.. Dec. 2!)—Sug gestion as a path to sleep, calm and restful, uiay often be found in ten words, each to be thought of in its full meaning.' says Rev. Charles Brown, dean of Yale Divinity School. He has used the formula himself and' hrctigh it many times had elided wikefulficss. 1 Each word 'should be thought* of slowly and .separately until restless ’ics* disapears and the subject is mentally in harmony with the mean ing of these words which, in order, are: puiet'y, easily, restfuily, trust fully, patiently, serenely, peacefully, joyously, courageously, confidently.
