Friday, September 14, 1934. THE PILOT, Southern Pines and Aberdeen, North Carolina Page Severn Marked Changes Proposed in Divided Authority To Be Done Away With.—Other Features Brought Out Last week The Pilot published some of the proposed changes in the State Constitution, with the state ment that further proposed changes would follow. The subject of absen tee voting has caused much criticism. The present constitution contains no restrictions on absentee voting. The change proposed would cause restrictions to be thrown about such voting and confined to persons out of the county, and physically un able to attend the polls. The Intent is to limit rather than extend ab sentee voting. Changes In Education With regard to education a rather marked change is proposed. It is ex pressed in the following words from a circular from the committee advo cating the revised Constitution. The Board of Education'to consist of sev en members, Including Superintend ent of Public Ir5,truction as chair man and chief executive officer; other six appointed by Governor, sub ject to confirmation by General As sembly. Present Board of Education con sists of Governor, as president; Sup erintendent of Public Instruction as secretary; Lieutenant-Governor, Sec retary of State, Auditor, and Attor ney-General. Those officials, except Superintendent of Public Instruction, are elected for other than educational purposes and serve in an ex officio capacity. The State administration of public school education in recent years has been divided between the pres ent con.stitutional Board of Education, the State School Commission, State Textbook Commission. State Board of Equalization, State Board for Vo cational Education, etc. The present State School Commission is compos ed of fifteen members of whom four serve ex officio, and eleven are ap pointed by the Governor without con firmation by the Legislature. The School Commission has largely super seded the Board of Education, but the double control and administration are confusing and cumbersome. Under proposed Section 5, there will be one body composed by Superintendent of Public Instruction as chairman, and six members named by Governor specifically for educational duties, eveiy appointment subject to confir mation by the Legislature. Further provision is suggested* for a minimum compulsory attendance of all children of at least sixteen months of school, with details left to the legislature, but providing for sep arate white and colored schools, and with a minimum limit of the school year at six months. Roniestead Fxennptions Real estate homestead up to 51,000 exempt from execution except for purchase price and may be exenipted from taxation by General Assembly. No change except power given Legislature to exempt $1,000 value on homestead from taxation. This is a new and potentially very important provision intended to stimulate and protect home ownership as directed by other sections of the Revised Con. stitution. It will probably not be util ized until the debt load of counties and towns has been reduced. It may be realized by stages, exempting first, say $250, then $500, then $1,000. A married woman's remains her owq and that the legislature may dispense with requirements that the husband’s written consent shall be required to permit her to dispose of it, which is required under the present law. Welfare Work Jn article IX the State Board of in Education New Constitution Schools Crowded Estimated 10 Percent Gain in Enrollment Throuffhout Moore County Reports from all of the county schools are not available, but in dications are that this years en rollment has already gone far be- yond that of last year. It is esti- mated that there has been a ten per cent gain in some of the town schools and extra seating space is having to be added. Public Welfare is directed to study welfare of children, unemployment, poverty, housing, marriage and di vorce, and other named related sub jects. This takes place of old section es tablishing Board of Public Charities but the provisions of new sections are broader and conceive of social wel fare on a constructive and preventive basis instead of on one merely of char ity and punishment for crime. The present provision for supervision of humane institutions which in prac tice has not been vitally ei.erciaed is to be made subject to legislative ac tion. General Assembly is to provide pub lic, charitable, reformatory, and pen al institutions as the public good may require. This is a similar but more compre hensive substitute for the orphan homes, homes for blind and in.sane, and penitentiary, provided for by present constitution. Agriculture and Industry Article XI makes it the duty of the State government to provide proper agencies for promoting the agri cultural and industrial development of the State, and to promote all the following objects: The conservation of our natural re sources, including soil-fertllity, for ests, minerals, waterpower, fisheries, scenic beauty, etc. The promotion of thrift and home- ownership. To serve the interests of both em ployers and employees by encourag ing the peaceful adjustment of indus trial disputes. To provide proper regulation for the protection of industrial workers, especially women and children. To safeguard the earnings of citi zens by adequate protective legisla tion and supervision of banks, finan cial institutions, investment agencies. This is practically a new section, the corresponding old section provid ing only for Department of Agricul ture and Immigration and directing laws for encouragement of sheep husbandry. It puts social welfare on a broader base and a higher plane, and makes it a mandatory objective of State policy. I Cameron and Community Tne Woman’s Club met on Thurs day afternoon, with the president, Miss Rachael Gilchrist in the chair.
