TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 1924.
in addressing the heads of several
it -i.. colleges of the I. nited
States at a meeting held in Wash
ington. President Coolidge said that
it did the farmer no good to get
«juantity production, in fact, it might
io him harm unless he can have
cientific marketing.
lie further stated that he wanted
to ee courses in co-operative - market!*
ir-.tr and farm' economics along side
o! soil chemistry and animal hus
bandrv.
It President Coolidge rises to the
point of efficiency that he will bi able
to t-ke the pricing of our agricul
tural products out of the hands of
speculators and ihe grasp of foreign
rut ions he will be counted great in
s -nf-hfer- people.
For a half century between the
close of Civil war and the be
ginning of the World war. the price
of our cotton was fixed in England
and cer ainly it was fixed at a price
or.e-third lower than reasonable. As
a result of such the cotton states of
the United States are the poorest.
Now comes one of the great crops
grown in this particular section, to
bacco. Who is fixing the price oh our
Vright tobacco? The Export Leaf and
Imperial Tobacco companies, both
foreign corporations, fix the price.
The British government gets a
bou four times as much by nllow
ir.g a pound of Martin county raised
tobacco to land in England as the
farmer gets for producing it.
One of the essential things for the
President to remedy is to see 'hat
the wealth-producing element of our
country is not pilaged by the greed
of foreign nations, assisted by or
penized gangs on our shores.
Our reporter passes the following
or. to us and says that it was sent
to him by someone who failed to
sign his nam".
The title of the piece is, "WHY
WORRY?"
Marcus Aurelius hit it when he
wrote that in the lives of men we
get the bi'ter with the sweet, un
pleasantness we're sure to meet.
Each day brings shadows with the
sun: some lives begin, some lives are
rui:; good fortune has its turn with
bad, we have our laugh, again we're
sjd. We get our plaudits, get our
■•:.eers, we alternate our hopes and
liars; we've times of health and
l mes of pain; we're bound to have
c'.t days of rain.
Why worry then, Aurelius asks,
about unpleasant things and tasks?
They're bound to come, it's plainly
seen, just treat them as a mere
routine.
If breakfast isn't up to snuff, dont
7
leave the table in a huff, but to your-
just smile and say: "This seems
to be bad breakfast day." If on your
way you strike a crowd, the kind
who posh and talk too loud, don't let
; ccraelf engage in strife, but realise
that such is life.
And so throughout the livelong day,
vhat Mare Aurelius had to say apply
to every jar and care; you'll find a
lot that's helpful there. J

The above Is cute, if you will ex
i cose that adjective, as well as most
appropriate. We are sure the dis
un"-uirhed Marcu: Aurelius l:new of
what he wrote when he wrote it.
The reporter says he is deeply in
debted to the sender but the effect
of what Marcus has to say is al! but
swept away by the town's street
sweeper.
BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
A PROCLAMATION
Education for the children of all
the people, extending from the prim
ary grader through the university,
constitutes America's noblest contri
bution to civilization. No child or
you'h in the United State: need be
deprived of the benefits of education
suited to his age and degree of ad
vancement.
Nevertheless, either through negli
gence or because of unfortunate cir
cumstances which might be controlled
wi'h sufficient effort Urge numbers,
of children do not receive the full
preparation for their life's work to
which they are justly., entitled. Many
have reached maturity without even
'lie rudimen's of education.-
This condition demands the solici
tude of all patriotic citizens. It in
volves not only the persons immedi
ately concerned and the communities
•n which they live, but the Nation
itself, for the welfar? of the country
impends upon the character and the
intelligence of those who cast the bal
lots
Education has come to be nearer
to the hearts of the American people
than any other single public interest.
The plan of maintaining' educational
institutions from public funds did not
originally prevail in most of the
-States, anil even where it was in use
it was hut feebly developed in the
early days of the Republic. That plan
dil not arise spontaneously in the
minds of all citizens. It was only
.
"■hen the suggestion caine forcefully.

That cluh leadership must be Increased properly to truin the bo>» and
girls of the nation wlio decide to remain on farina and become the bulwark of
American agriculture la aliown In a survey of the club work of the Junior
farmers just completed by Itenjainln 11. Harrow, director of the boy*' and girls'
club work of the Sears-Roebuck Agricultural Foundation.
According to the report of the Foundation, baaed on a count by the De
> pertinent of Agriculture, 722,400 project* were begun In 1028 by 460,074 boy*
and girl*, a number which I* leaa than 6 per cent of the farm youth of the na
tion of club age. Of these were completed by 249.416 club
■tembera. (.Iris completing their work outnumber the boy* three to two, there
being 100,194 girls and 'JU.222 boy*. The report also Indicates that 90.6 per cent
of the enrolled girl* finished their project*, while only 02.9 per cent
of tha boy* completed their*. The Mgh point reached In 1918, a* shown by kite
accompanying chart, was due to the expansion of club work In connection with
the alogan of the day: "Food will win the war." After the crlal* was over
there wai retrenchment and club work suffered '
"Many of the 8,000,000 hoys and girl* engaged In club work hope to leave
the farm," anld Harrow, "but ftO per cent »f them will remain in the country,
experience has shown. All who stay on the farm should have the benefit of
the inspiration and training clul> work nfford*. If we are to provide this for
the Junior farmers of the nation, we must rapidly increase tha number of c«tiß
tf club leaders."

few pioneers that popular interest was >
it'lly aroused. Vigorous campaign:.|
were required not only to establish
the idea of public education, but also
-1
for its maintenance, and for its im
portant extensions.
Campaigns of national scope in be
half of education have been conducted
annually since 1920, and they have
been increasingly effective with each
succeeding year. They have concen-
I
tratcd attention upon the needs of |
education, and the cumulative impetus
of mass action has been peculiarly
beneficial. It is clearly in the in
terest of popular education, and con
sequently of the country, that thes •
campaigns be continued with vigor.
In the last few years we have
placed much emphasis on vocational
training. It is necessary for men to
know the practical side of life and be
aide to earn a living. We want to
have masters of our material re
sources. But it is also necessary to
have a broad and liberal culture that
will enable men to think and know
how to live after they haye earned
a living. An educa'ed fool is a sorry ■
spectacle, but he is not nearly so
d;'ngerous to society as a rich fool.
Wc want neither in country. We
want the educated to know how to
wo k awl 'he rich to know how to
think.
i.'ow, therefore, I, Calvin Coolidge,
President of the United States of
America, do designate November 17th
to 23rd, inclusive, as American Edu
cational Week. I urge that the ci i
zens do all they can to advance the
interests of education. It is especial
ly recommended that the Governors
of the States issue proclamations
emphasizing the services rendered by
their educational institutions, and
calling upon their people to observe
the occasion by appropriate action
Further, I urge that all civil officers
whose duties relate to education, and
all |>ersons connected wi'h the profes
: ion of teaching, exert themselves to
diffuse information concerning the
