My understanding isthat both the banks in your town re ceived help thru thia Corporation and thru the banks the farmers, merchants and others were helped. 1 know also of my own knowledge that men to presenting the War Finance Corpor ation viaited every section of the State and instructed bank men h' w to make out application blanks. The War Fi nance Corporation did not loan direct ly to individuals because they were not allowed to «lp so under the law, i but at least SBOO,OOO was loaned to the jwople of Martin County thru the banks* by the War Finance Corpor ation.

'Particularly have the high school teachers been informed that their work .was the preparation of children for j the vocations that they intended to i fit tTieniselve.Afor in the jjooiety of the in whicKVhey would live. The [writer has no intnutii'n of taking issue with this purpose owtigh school teach. . ers." X Nevertheless, enthukastic rural teachers who under the prc;ent condi tions are conducting one! two, three four room schools, (have mad veWently fallen into the [idea that domestic science, vocational agricul ture, and manual trahmtg must be taught in their schools. Other subjects such as industrial ait arid! instrumen tal music are felt to he obligations. /Also the local commit (-eman has persuaded one of the teucpers in such schools that his sort r>r daughter must have special hii-h school instruction. But the State has said w? hand you a register in which is an eletnntary list of books adopted for pupils' use. This coune must he taught first. Permit me to sav that the time for selection of a life's work i.s hardly in an "lemeruiiiy school of .seven grades, pi* i l teniarl y rural elemi'ntary schools % such a? is described : hove. Nor can we tie certain, that the time is" ripe for choosing a vocation for li f e when children attend a small hiph school of a dozen or less llut vocation al guidance can liest tx> n[terel when physical and mental a»;es. ripen the subject,, in to a "cause and effect"'' reasoner. Itut that is a»i«le. What shall we do with the-vocations in the lower grades? The first duty in these elementary one, two, Uixee APji four room schools is to giv.e our boys anil girls the min imum essentials of a liberal training, the tools with which to attack ar.d the spirit of attack a"«f subject matter. The teaching of re.'ding, writing and arithmetic in a thorough manner, while not the nine qua mm nor the ne plus ultra, make up now and will constitute the bulk o.f the material subject matter. The capacity to read, writ cv an rl calculate with WMOt»bl> . /acility. therefore, should be-"the aims of our rund elementary schools before l attempting wme other task. How may a teacher e cape these numerous de mands? The answer is make no ef fort to escape but make capital of the situa' ion.
