Chairman Moore Couny Game Com mission. he was asked for copies that it might be reproduced in the papers of the state and elsewhere. Charlie Pic- quet, who was re-elected president of the association was emphatic in his praise of Mr. McLeod’s talk. The club arranged for Christmas baskets for a number of the needy persons within the club territory, Dr. Poate being appointed 4iead of a committee to do the work. A committee headed by Leonard Tufts will visit Ellwood Cox at High Point this week to confer with him in making the double road from Southern Pines to Pinehurst a branch of the state system, as it is one of the most highly traveled roads of this secion. A lot of amusement was furnish ed the club by the classification by each member of the one who sat next him. A new light was afforded in some cases, but all squared up to the qualifications. COMMUNICATION PINEHURST RIWANIS CLUB Arranj»e for Christmas Baskets —Confer With State Chair man in Making Double Road So. Pines-Pinehurst The Kiwanis club met at the Manor as Pinehurst Wednesday. The chief event of the occasion seemed to be the remarkable reception Rev. Mur dock McLeod had received at the meeting of the state moving i>icture men at Charlotte the first of the week, where he had given an address that so impressed his hearers that To the Editor of The Pilot, Vass, N. C. Dear Sir: Please accept my congratulations upon your editorial in last week’s pa per, in which you expressed your opinion as to the importance of good schools in rural sections. I agree \vith you that we need to rid ourselves of some of the ever-increasing bur den of taxes, but we certainly should not begiin our reductions with the schools. Personally, I favor an eight month term for every rural boy and girl. There are, I believe, several good lea ons for having an eight month term. First of all, with an eight month term, the farmers’ child can l.ecure a high school education before he becomes old enough to do much work on the farm, while with a six month term it is necessary for him to be in school a longer period of time, thus losing several years of produc tive usefulness. Secondly, the sooner the high school education has been i recured the more useful the child be- 11 ora ‘s on tht* farm, in that he is bring- ing to the farm a trained mind. The 11 ural section‘d" are ever handicapped jfor lack of leadership. With the six month term the time of training is iiolonged to such an extent that the boys and girls are compelled to drop out of school and go to work with in adequate training. We are told that three-fourths of the business men that hold the cities and towns together were reared on the farm. Our best educated boys and girls drift to the cities, due to the fact that the farm offers no spe cial inducement for a life’s work. Be fore we can demand and secure just co-operation from our competitors, we must be equally educated. This calls for a school term longer than six months. We can never hope to suc ceed on the farm until we educate the rural population to the extent that they can intelligently cope with the better trained man. Our representatives will undoubt edly have the opportunity to express themselves along school matters this winter. I can see no plausible objec tion to the passage of a bill permit ting the people of North Carolina to vote on an eight month term for the entire state. I do not believe that the outcome of our Moore county school election in April means that Moore county does not favor a longer school term. Local problems caused many men and women who favor a longer school term to vote against the changes proposed for Moore county. Opposition to a uniform school tax is not necessarily opposition to an eight month term. It is my sincere hope that tax re ductions will be forthcoming at an early date, but let’s not interfere with our schools; reduce anything rather progress, and it is essential to pro vide sufficient funds for efficient than school appropriations. Good schools are our greatest factor for school management. Yours for greater progress through better schools with longer terms. Z. V. BLUE. MPCRATU ClLOTIX PARTITIOM Note this actual teat.
