Isenhour Stresses Duty
Of County School Board
- Xorth Carolina has gone as far
in education as it can with the
type of leadership it lias in the
counties and schl district, H.
li. Isenhour, chairman of the Row
an county lxard of education, told
members of the western district of
the North Carolina School Hoard
association at a meeting last
Thursday night at the (ieorge
Vanderbilt lutel in Asheville.
"Vc should organize throughout
the st,Tte, we should become in
formed on educational matters, we
should become a force which will
lead us to higher and greater
standards," 'Mr. Isenhour said.
If North Carolina docs not pro
gress educationally it will soon
become a very much one-sided
state, he said. This state is de
veloping almost unbelievably f.J-t
economically .and industrially, c
added, -and North Carolina is des
tined to become the empire state
of the South.
Development of this state as the
leader of the South is not many
years away, he said, and if our
educalioiial system is to match our
growth it must be improved.

".We should think about how the
type of instruction- our children
are getting can be improved," hfe
said, "Our people must be educat'
ed to provide the means for the
better education of our children."
Leadership Needed .
.Mr. Isenhour also said that it
will be increasingly difficult to ob
tain additional funds for educa
tion, and warned that school of
ficials must use what they do get
ta the best possible advantage.
There is in the making in this
country a tremendous drive to ap
ply funds for things which are
said to be needed for our national
security, he said, adding- that it
is going to- take more thought, bet
ter leadership, more information for
pa'trons of the schools to see that
proper supiort is given education.
"Those who are interested in ed
ucation are interested in a phase
of national security which possibly
is of greater significance than the
material means : for national se
curity" he said. "We must educate
our boys and girls on how to live,
on the value of our type of democ
racy, so that they won't fall vic
tims of the various 'isms'. Educa
tion is the greatest bulwark against
the forces which would tear down
our nation". .
More Religion Needed
Separation of state and church
has been preached perhaps too
much, the speaker said. He advo
cated more religion in education,
saying that a close study will show
that the greatest amount of free
dom has been brought to us by
those who are educated and train
ed religiously.
''The first thing a dictator does
today is take charge of education
and try to banish religion", Mr.
Isenhour said. "We should develop
our children' as well trained, well
rounded citizens of the future".
The ' little red school houses of
Aycock are passing out of the pic
ture, he said, and in their places
are the consolidated schools. There
must be another who , will come
forward to teach us to use our
consolidated schools to build an
other . great era in education in
North Carolina, he concluded-
G. B. Philips, secretary of the
state school board association, dis
cussing the local responsibility for
education, said:
. "School board . members and
school committee members have
been given a definite responsibility
for leadership. Recognizing the
function of the state in support
and general administration there
remains the specific local task of
directing the educatioh program.
Education is one of the most per
sonal services rendered by the
government and cannot be manag
ed by a highly centralized author
ity. The selection and direction of
teachers, the erection and care of
the buildings, the provision of va
rious instructional aids are all local
opportunities resting with the
board and committee.
Must B On Alert
"Education is in direct competi
tion with other agencies of service
and its directors, must - be on the
alert to insure a fair share of
public support.
"Progress in any field is the re
sult of individual and group effort
which goes ' beyond the deadening
line of uniformity. The state sup
ported program of education is
the least that the state will per
mit any community to have for its:
children. It is not intended that
it be the maximum effort. For that
reason the challenge to the local
school board member is to build
a more effective program upon the
sound state bast,
"Education In North Carolina
cannot achieve its best except up
on a dual support combining local
interest and ability with the min
imum state program. Eventually
the federal government must be
the third source of support,
'The North Carolina School
Board association is three years
old and is attempting to coordi
nate the efforts of about 4,500 men
and women citizens who compose
the membership of school boards
and school committees of the state.
The immedjafe purppse is tp sud.y
thp major issues in public educa
tion, to exchange ideas and to
establish a code of ethics for school
boards,
"The major issues seem to cen
ter around the length of the school
term, expansion of the curriculum,
teacher welfare, administration and
federal aid."
Macon Students
Enjoy I rip l o
Fair At Raleigh
Thursday morning, October 12, 33
agriculture students packed their
blankets in a truck and headed for
Raleigh. It was the actual begin
ning of the trip to take in the
State Fair, After three hours of
traveling the mountains were re
placed by cotton fields; although
the hills furnished a beautiful back
ground for the white cotton fields.
We made good time but not good
enough to keep darkness from
catching .up with us. It was close
to 10 o'clock when we got our first
glimpse of a sky that was lit up by
fireworks. Yes, it was the Fair
grounds that we saw. The fire
works had started, but we were
too tired to think about anything
except .sleep.. You have heard of
people sleeping in the barn, well,
we know all about it . now. A barn
at State college was secured to
sleep in and let me tell you right
now that a barn loft full of fresh
mown lespedeza hay will give any
mattress a run for .its money. The
sweet odor from fresh hay is hard
to beat.
Early Friday morning found us
picking the hay seeds out of our
eye so that we would not miss
seeing anything. We went to the
fair early and spent the early part
of the day looking at the livestock,
poultry and field crops exhibits.
Horse racing was the outstand
ing event in the afternoon. Mingled
in with the actual farming phase
was the great World of Mirth
Shows which gave color to the
dark skins. Hot dogs ! Hot dogs !
It was the first time we have ever
bought hot dogs by the foot. The
hay felt better Friday night than
an inner-spring mattress.
Saturday morning we put on our
clean shirts and combed our hair
as this was the day to look Ral
eigh over. The first place we visited
was the State Museum. This was
one of the most interesting places
that we visited. From here we
went to the state capital and who
do you suppose we were greeted
by? It was none other than the
great governor of our state, Clyde
K. Hoey. The governor sent
guide with us as we continued our
sight-seeing,
We visited radio station WRAL
and watched a program go on the
air, The News and Observer news
paper office was the next stop.
We met Josephus Daniels, Ambas
sador to Mexico, who is owner of
the newspaper. Also we saw the
largest printing press in the south.
The next stop was one that had
all the boys in deep thought as
the guide explained how the gas
chamber snuffed out lives. It was
only on the conditions of a visit
that we wanted to return to the
state penitentiary in the future.
The last stop was at the Ral
eigh airport. The football game
between Wake Forest and State
college brought the 4ay to a close.
Early Sunday morning WC Start
ed on our way home, We got
home in time to place our feet
under "papa's table" for supper.
A tired group with hay seed in
our hair, but the. knowledge of
our state had been greatly in
creased. -
