One Meeting Will He Held A
Week Before the School Be
gins For Enrollment and
Purchase of Books
Plans are being perlected lor
the Johnston County Standard
Sunday School Training School
which is to be held at Edgerton
Memorial Methodist church in
Selma the week of March 2—7.
Rev. D. M. Sharpe, chairman
of the board of managers, an
nounces one change in the man
ner of getting the school started
which will be recognized as ad
vantageous by those who have
taken courses in these training
schools. Instead of the initial
meeting on Sunday afternoon.
March 2. the first meeting will
be held a week earlier, on Sun
day afternoon. February 23. at
2:30 o’clock, at which time pu
pils will enroll in the four
courses to be given and books
may be bought, thus enabling the
pupils to read the books before
the school proper begins on the
following Sunday. This will light
en the work during the week
of the school. The usual open
ing meeting of the school will
be held on Sunday afternoon.
March 2, at 2:30 o'clock when
classes will be organized. Class
sessions beginning at 7:30 o'clock
will be held each evening during
the week following.
The chairman of the board of
managers is desirous that as
many as possible read the text
books to be used and attend the
classes, even though they do not
work for credit in the school. A
Sunday school worker recently
characterized the training school
very aptly as a revival for Sun
day school officers and teach
ers. The school beginning March
2 offers a fine opportunity for
Sunday school workers in th°
Sunday schools of Johnston
county to gain new inspiration
for their Sunday school work.
Four courses will be offered
in this school as follows: Mis
sions in the Sunday school: The
Sunday School: Jesus, the Mas
ter Teacher; Organization and
Administration. If vis not defi
nitely known yet who will con
duct, the classes, but announce
ment will be made in due time.
TERRACING SCHOOL
TO BE HERE SOON
By J. B. Slack.
The Terracing School held m
Smithfield last week was a de •
[ided success, although the rain
completely knocked out the fieid
work on Tuesday. According to
Mr. A. T. Holman, agrictiltural
engineer, one of the largest
crowds ever to attend a terracing
school in this state turned out
for the meeting on Monday. Quite
a large number of farmers went
to the field demonstration on
Mr. Sanders’ farm on Monday,
and got actual experience in lo
cating and running terraces, but
owing to the wetness of th"
ground, it was impossible to plow
up any terraces.
Mr. Holman has agreed to come
back to the county some time
during the week o" ' ' :ary 21
and give a demc...>Liv >.i as tc
how these terraces should be
plowed up. Notice will be given
later through the papers as .'c
just w'hat date this will be.

BAPTIST PASTORS
IN SESSION HERE
Discuss Paper Read by Rev
S- L. Morgan on W h a I
Might Re Done to Remove
Spiritual Blight A m o n p
Churches
The Baptist pastors of the
Johnston Association met here
■ last Monday in their ■ regular
i monthly conference with a good
attendance. Little attention was
I given t o business, almost the en
j tire session being given to an
! earnest discussion of a paper
read by Rev. S. L. Morgan on
what might be done to remove
the spiritual blight that seems
so generally felt among the
I churches, and which is reflected
in the burdensome debts upon ail
Ithe missionary and benevolent en
terprises of the church. The pa
per proposed three definite steps
in the solution of the problem:
1. The deeper consideration of
the pastors as God’s key-men. He
quoted the remark of an out
standing religious leader, that the
weakness of Christianity in the
world today lies in the fact that
the world has been inoculated
with a Jorm of Christianity that
makes it immune to the real
thing. “Our churches are made
up of people who would be equal
ly shocked to see Christianity
(doubted or put into practice.”
I The paper contended that the
| most important service by far
that the preacher can render his
I church and community is, not his
(preaching from the pulpit, but a
practical demonstration in his
own life of a Christianity that,
'actually makes him master of
(himself and a model, Christ-like
' man. Only such a model, the
1 speaker held, can ever serve as
an effectual challenge to his own
j congregation to rise above the low
standard which is everywhere
taken for granted.
2. The second proposal was
(that the pastor, having committed
(himself to this higher standard
of living, should gather about
(him his official members and a
i few other kindred spirits, and
appeal to them with desperate
seriousness to pledge their own
lives to higher living, and with
a definite view to lifting all the
church higher.
I 3. The third step proposed was
a more persistent linking up the
home church with the whole
world, that the church may feel
the reaction of the non-Chris
tian nations to the shallow
Christianity in our home church
es. The speaker referred to the
fact that the world today is a
speaking gallery, and that the
nations to whom we are sending
missionaries are daily listening in
on the way our ‘ Christian” na
tion is living its religion, and
that the missionaries declare to
us that the reports carried every
day by radio, or printed in the
daily newspapers, telling the non
Christian nations of how Chris
tian America lynches negroes,
looks down on foreign immi
I m ants and wrongs them, and
i rampies under foot the prohibi
tion law, are doing more to turn
other nations against Christian
ity than all the missionaries wo
send to them are able to do to
win them to it.
An incident of the meeting
was the offering of special pray
er for O. H. Barefoot, prominent
churchman of the county, a re
quest coming from his wife who
is with him in Memorial Hospi
tal, Richmond, where his life
hangs in the balance, the result
of cuts with a knife made by a
neighbor who sought revenge for
interference with his lawless acts
when Barefoot was acting as an
officer of the law.

730 ARE EXAMINED
IN DENTAL CLINIC
Cash Value of Clinic Held In
Selma Is $2,250; Cost the
School or County Not A
Dime
By W. I„ WOODARD, D. D. S„
State School Dentist.
SELMA. Feb. 13.—In the den
tal clinic which began in Selma
on December 30 and closed on
January 25. 730 children were
examined for dental defects, and
558 children received treatment.
Ninety-six children were referred
to other dentists, as only chil
dren below 13 years of age are
treated in the clinic. Seventy
six of those examined had no
dental ills.
The classes of treatments ren
dered these 588 children were as i
follows: The teeth of each child
were cleaned. Ninety per cent;
had this done for the first time.
Seventy-five per cent were al-!
most strangers to the tooth- j
brush—some few used the fam- j
ily tooth brush, so they said.
Baby teeth that were decayed.1
but not to the danger line, were
treated with a 25 per cent solu
tion of sliver nitrate (agno 3)
this being done after all decay1
had been removed. This treat- 1
ment will prevent further decay
indefinitely. It is also much bet
ter for the child, as 90 per cent!
of fillings placed in baby teeth
will not stay, and the treatments
as a rule will last as long as the;
tooth is needed. There were 40
per cent of these treatments.
All permanent teeth showing i
signs of decay were filled with!
the regular silver fillings, and I
are welcome to inspection and
criticism at any time. If these
teeth had been neglected one
year longer 85 per cent would
have been lost.
the cash value or t his clinic i
was $2250.00, yet it did not cost
I he school or county one dime.!
l>o you think that, should mean
anything to the school? If the!
work had been paid for, 75 per
cent of the children would have ■
been neglected.
All baby teeth that, had reach
ed the danger line were remov
ed. There were 377 of these
teeth. Seventy-five per cent
showed some type of abscess
(running sores in the mouth).
Think of it. nearly 300 children
had this condition present. Dr
Woodard asks: Are you surprised
at the enormous amount of fail
ures in school?
He states further: "They do
well to live with all that poison
draining into their little systems '
Yet. when a child fails, the par
ents blame the teacher. A sad
mistake. Teachers are o. k.: it
usually the material which they
have to teach. Give them healthy
children and they will show you;
some healthy grades. These fail
ures will continue until the par
ents wake up to the fact that a
child with a mouthful of ab
scesses and a throat full of in
fected tonsils is not going to get
very far in this life, and they will
be weather beaten, tired and
bent at that. Parents, arise from
your peaceful slumbers and ac
quaint yourselves with the fact
that on your shoulders rests the
responsibility whether your child
Rrows into what he or she should
be and will be. if you give him
or her the best you have in the
.shop. But they will never do it
so long as such conditions as ab
, scessed teeth and diseased ton
sils are allowed to remain in the
child's mouth. You would not
think of buying a runt pig ex
pecting it to be a big hog next
fall, or to get seed corn from
nubbins, and you need not expect
: your child to amount to much
i if it has these physical defects

DR, BOSHART TALKS
TO P.T. ASSOCIATION
Vocational Guidance Is Sub
ject of Address — Oth c r
Talks and Musical Numbers
Feature Program — Social
Half Hour
Dr. W. C. Boshart, of State
College, was the speaker at the
meeting of the Parent-Teacher
Association held in the auditori
um of the grammar grade build
ing Tuesday afternoon. Perhaps
seventy-five or more were pres
ent to hear Dr. Boshart discuss
vocational guidance.
"The things that we have in
our school today are not drawing
the boys and girls into them,”
declared Dr. Boshart. "The
schools are made for those who
follow the professions.” lie thinks
that vocational guidance should
be given pupils. He thinks that
every possible emphasis should be
given in the schools to help the
individual make a selection of
and make preparation for an oc
cupation. He spoke of the oppor
tunity which comes to a real
teacher in not simply promoting
children from one grade to an
other but in preparing them to
live.
The president of the associa- j
lion, Mrs. Glenn Grier, announc- I
^d at the close of Dr. Boshart’s
talk, that Mr. It. W. Harvell, of j
Goldsboro, who expected to dis- j
suss a school band, could not be |
present at this meeting but would 1
come later. Supt. F. M. Waters,
□f the Selina school, made a few
remarks concerning the Selma
school band which has been re- j
cently organized.
The attendance prizes were
then awarded to the rooms hav
ing the most mothers present.
Miss Vivian Burton’s room in
the grammar school and Miss
Gertrude Taylor’s ninth grade '
room were the winners. Attractive ;
plaques were the prizes.
Those present were delighted
with a vocal solo by Mr. James
Davis, accompanied on the piano
by Mrs. Chas. Gulley. Mrs. Gul
ley and Mr. Davis then sang a
duet, an original arrangement of
“Marguerite.”
Supt. N. C. Shuford was called
upon to tell about the observ
ance of live-at-home in the
school—a program being promot
ed in all of the schools of the
state.
After the program, those pres
ent were guests of the teachers
during a social half hour. In the
lunch room, hot tea and sand
wiches were served. Daffodil fav
ors were on each plate.

Dr. Coker, distinguished farmer
and banker of Hartsville. S. C.,
will speak to the farmers of
Johnston, Wayne and Wilson
counties in the Selma school
building Thursday, February 27,

Dr. Coker is a very prominent
man and this community is in
deed fortunate in getting Dr.
Coker to come here and make a
talk. This will be the only town
in North Carolina that he will
speak in.
Last year Dr. Coker raised
4,000 bales of cotton on 4,000 ac
res of land and in his talk here
he will explain his methods used
in raising cotton successfully.
He is the originator of the
Coker pedigreed seed which are
very much in demand through ■
out the cotton raising states, and
his authority on cotton was re
cognized when the Federal Farm
Board at Washington, D. C.,
sought his advice when the
board was being organized and
since.
A tremendous crowd is expect
ed to hear this authority on cot
ton. and every farmer who at
tends this meeting will most cer
tainly be benefited.
FOUR OAKS SCHOOL
OBSERVES LIVE-AT-HOME
The Four Oaks school has very
fittingly observed “Live-at-Home
Week" this week, in accordance
with Governor Gardner’s request
that all the schools in the state
set apart February 10-17 for the
study of this timely topic.
A radio was installed in the
school auditorium in order that
the school children might hear
addresses by Governor Gardner.
A. T. Allen, state superintendent
of public instruction, and other
prominent North Carolinians
speak on the subject. At chapel
exercises this week, two success
ful Johnston county farmers who
know how to live at home, told
the pupils how this could be
done. They were T. E. Johnson
of the Royal section and Star
ling Massengill of the Parker
district. Their talks were inter
esting and were enjoyed by the
school.
During the week the lessons in
arithmetic, geography and Eng
lish have carried out the live-at

CENSUS REPORT
ABSENT FAMILIES
Fifteenth Decennial Census
of the United States To Be
Taken During the Month of
April
WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb, 13.
—The Fifteenth Decennial Cen
sus of the United States will be
taken during the month of
April. The enumeration will be
made by a force of about 100,000
enumerators who will go from
house to house and secure the
information required for the cen
sus. Every person is to be enum
erated, so far as possible, at his
"usual place of abode" or the
place where he usually lives.
Where individual members of a
family are away from home at
the time the census is taken they
will be reported to the enumera
tor by other members of the fam
ily.
For cases where it is known in
advance that the whole family
will be away from home at that
time, special provision has been
made by the director of the cen
sus in the form of an absent
family schedule which is to be
filled out by some responsible
member of the family in advance
of the census date and transmit
ted to the local supervisor of the
census. A copy of this schedule
can be secured by application to
Mr. Thomas C. Council, of Ral
eigh. North Carolina, who is the
census supervisor for this dis
trict.
Families planning to be away
during the month of April, leav
ing the home closed or with no
one in charge who is qualified to
give the census information to
the enumerator, are urged to ob
tain one of these schedules at
once and to fill it out and send
it to Mr. Council at the earliest
possible date. Or if the house is
left in charge of a servant who
will be sure to be at home when
the enumerator calls, the sche
dule may be left with such ser
vant for delivery to the enumer
ator. The information furnished
on this schedule will be treated
as confidential and will be used
only for the tabulation of sta
tistics which will not reveal any
information with regard to indi
viduals or families.
C'elberates 54th Birthday.
The children and grandchildren
of Rev. W. D. Stancil met at his
home recently to celebrate his
n4th birthday. At the noon hour a
bountiful dinner was spread. It
consisted of cakes, pies, chicken,
barbecue, opossum, sausage and
everything good to eat. All thor
oughly enjoyed the day.
We are glad to have a mother
and father to go to see. and hope
the Lord will spare us all to meet
with father on his 55th birthday.
He has been pastor of Bethany
