praise of Mr. McLeod’s talk.
The club arranged for Christmas

persons within the club territory, Dr.

committee to do the work.
A committee headed by Leonard

the most highly traveled roads of

some cases, but all squared up to
the qualifications.

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.
