(Unavoidably omitted last week) SAYS TEACHER IS IMPORTANT School Supt. Addresses Rotary Club On Power Of Education | "The most Important person i in your community is the class room teacher". Holland Mc Swain, Macon County superin tendent of schools, told mem bers of the Franklin Rotary club at their weekly dinner meeting August 20. Speaking on "The Power of Education", Mr. McSwaln de clared the dropping of the first atom bomb, about seven years ago, marked the end of one j I world, and the birth of another | ?a new world, as far as, ideas and thinking are concerned. He recalled the predictions of disaster and world destruction that followed development of the bomb, but pointed out that similar predictions had been made after the discovery or in vention of each new weapon, and he cited, among others, the discovery of a way to make fire, the invention of gun powder, and development of poison gas. In each case, he said, a defense was developed. Back of all these weapons, he commented, was fear ? they were developed because of fear of those who had got out of line, and it was hoped that fear of these new weapons would force those who had got out of line back in line. "Looking back, we can see that fear is not an adequate motive to get man to want and build a decent civilization..." Turning then to the economic standards of the people of the world, he said that 90 per cent of the world's population has an average annual income' of about $200 a year. .. Dividing the wealth, he said, I is not the answer; a division of the world's wealth would in i crease this average income only about $10 a year. j the people of the world must be j people of the world must be ' educated so they can raise their j income by their own efforts." j Illustrating the relationship j between education and econom ic progr'ess, he cited nation after nation, among them Co lombia, one of the wealthiest nations in the world in natural resources, but a nation that spends little for education and has a very low average income; and Denmark, a land of few natural resources, but one where vast sums are spent on educa tion, and one where the stand ard of living is very high. Even in the United States, he said, "we find the lowest aver age income in the states and in the counties that spend least on education". He referred to the great power that education ? the wrong kind of education ? gave the leaders of totalitarian pre- | war Germany, Italy, and Ja pan ? and commented that con- I structive education can be even | more powerful. But when "the United States j doesn't spend as great a per- ; centage of its -income on educa tion as Russia does" and "when] we spend far .more money in the United States for alcoholic beverages than we do for edu cation", I wonder if we realize : the importance and the power j of education". I "Our schools can solve the 1 1 problem. "Let's see that we have the ! j best teachers possible, the best 1 educational program possible. :nid that every child ? every i i child everywhere ? has a chance 1 I to get the best education pos- ; j sible." | North Carolina's 1952. corn, i crop is the smallest since 1944.
