Many Attending Educational Chautauqua
Now Being Held at Farm Life School.
Gov. Angus Wiltopi McLeaji
Will Speak Friday Night,
September 23.
The Educational Chautauqua,
which is being held at Farm Life
School this we^ek has exceeded even
the expectations of its promotors.
The idea was new, the program, an
experiment; but results have been so
gratifying that it is to be hoped that
the Educational Chautauqua will be
an institution in Moore County.
Each evening the attendance has
been large and representative, the
speakers pleasing, and the speeches,
the best possible.
On Tuesday evening Dr. Carl Tay
lor, dean of State College, opened
the program with a speech on “Bet
ter Rural Conditions.” He was pre
sented to the audience by J. Talbot
Johnson, of Aberdeen, in a few well
chosen words. Dr. Taylor has spok
en at Farm Life before, and his hear
ers knew that som thing ij:ood wouk!
be forthcoming. In a most interest
ing manner he traced the develop
ment of agriculture from pioneer
days, when man raised and made
evertyhing that he ate and more on
a little plot around the cabin, to the
present time, when man specializes
even in farming. Since three-fourths
of the people of our State and coun
ty are engaged in agriculture, the
speaker plead for scientific farming,
and for the placing of it on a busi
ness basis. He urged that the far
mer of the South so regulate his
time and work as to have 365 days
of production activity. Dr Taylor
stirred the minds of his hearers, and
scattered many worthwhile ideas.
On Wednesday evening Dr. J.
Henry Highsmith, State inspector of
high schools, was the speaker, and
he had in his audience, school men
from every corner of Moore. W.
Springs and other sections of the
county and sending them all home
thinking about the same things?
. It was Supt. R. G. Hutcheson of
Farm Life, who conceived, planned,
and carried out the idea of an Edu
cational Chautauqua. But it will be
all Moore County that will be reap
ing.
Dr. Carl Taylor, of State College.
applause when he said that ’the first
bill to be passed by our next Legis
lature should be one providing for
an eight-months’ school term. “South
Carolina, Virginia, Tennessee are
all ahead of us there,” he said.
“But,” said Dr. Highsmith, “it is not
so much to keep up with our neigh
bors, as it is to bring a square deal
to our rural children, that we should
have an eight-months’ term.” He
proved conclusively that the boy
whose elementary education is lim
ited by a six months’ term hasn’t
the same chance as his city cousin
who has enjoyed the many blessings
which good teachers and a long term
bring.
Seldom, if ever, have the people
of Moore County heard a better
speech, coming from the experience
of one who knows our State, our
schools, and our folks as does Dr.
Highsmith. It was such a speech
as will make school men and citi
zens go back home and get busy.
On both evenings the people were
entertained with attractive musical
numbers. On Tuesday evening the
Girls’ Glee Club of the local school
* rendered wel three pretty choruses.
On Wednesday evening Superintend
ent Morton, of Pinehurst, and his
teachers, gave an artistic program.
Superintendent Morton never does
things by halves and he and his
teachers were experts in their line.
And to whom is the credit due for
bringing such good things to the
people of Moore County, on the eve
of a new school year?
And to whom is credit due for
getting together educational lead
ers from Vass, Aberdeen, Carthage,

also who has been visiting the ware
houses in the Eastern part of the
State, says Aberdeen is holding its
place among the leaders in prices,
and he expects to see the local market
again well toward the head of the
[list all throtigh the season. He es-
Itimates from his contact with the
I trade that the two houses will handle
j not less than four million pounds,
j and possibly more. The markets this
season are under the figures of last
year, all over the IState. He does
inot attempt to say whether this will
be overcome later or not, but does
believe that Aberdeen has the quality
I of leaf to bring a price that will
compare with anything handled any
place.
The most of the farmers looked
with complacency on the prices, al-
I though some were outspoken in their
criticism of the lower figures than
I were anticipated a few weeks ago.
Friday a big sale is expected, and by
that time the observers say things
will have settled down to where it
will be easier to guess what the final
outcome will be. But there is a gen
eral sentiment that Aberdeen has
made a new place for itself in the
handling of leaf tobacco, and that
from now on it will have a place in
the permanent markets.
The cool weather has brought to-
ibacco into a better condition, and it
is predicted that if cooler days fol
low the outlook will be more favor-
: able, as the continued warm days
:were not good for handling the crop.

Supt. R. G. Hutcheson, of Sandhill
Farm Life and Moore County
Teachers’ Training School, who
conceived and planned the idea of
a Educational Chfautauqua.
Duncan Matthews, of Vass, in a hap
py speech, introduced him to the au
dience, and thereafter the audience
was Dr. Highsmith’s, for he held
them from the start. After listening
to Dr. Highsmith on Wednesday eve
ning in a great speech on the Equal
ization of Educational Opportunities,
the writer could understand how this
one man can mold into form the va
rious and sundry high schools of
North Carolina, handle the great
army of more or less docile high
school teachers, and get them to do
his bidding. For, the man was more
than interesting; he was captivating.
One had to listen to what he said,
and one had to think with him, so
sincere was his manner, and so force
ful his personality. His speech was
clever, witty and so simple that every
school child present understood and
enjoyed it.
Dr. Highsmith showed that to have
equal opportunities, we must have
three things, money, good teachers,
and an eight months' term. Figures
don’t lie, and he proved that we are
a rich State with many false stand
ards, many luxuries and fads receiv
ing more money than educa.tion. Dr.
Highsmith urged that standards be
readjusted, and that folks and little
children and their welfare be given
first place in the thoughts of our
people.
In his second point Dr. Highsmith
cleverly caricatiured pite flajpper
teacher; 'he also drew a beautiful
picture of the real teacher, training,
developing, and inspiring by exam
ple as well as by precept.
Dr. Highsmith struck a note of
