Address atl communications to The Enterprise and not to the individual members of the firm. — Friday, April 24,1931 Business Is Better —i The news comes from a ■number of big newspapers that business is better. There is no doubt about the truth of the statement Just as everybody knew, it would l>e when people stopped throwing everything they liad away. Now that we are beginning to realize that we can not al ways have everything we want, and can content our selves with a reasonable [xirtion of the blessings of life, things are naturally improving and will undoubt edly gradually get better just as long as we are con servative. On the Way Back It now looks as if the people are going to save them selves from complete bankruptcy. They are now slowing down on borrowing and spending. * This practice, continued for only a few years, will bring us back. If there is any other way besides this one, it certainly is not in sight now. Getting the Most From An Education Much concern is beiiig given to the important ques tion of how are we going to educate our children up to the standard we. wish, with the rapidly declining values and the |x>ssibility of a much smaller school fund. It really looks like it will be easy (or the parents of the school children to increase the efficiency of our educational System by at least one-third by keeping their children home at night and requiring them ( Jo really and truly work -that is, get lessons as they should be gotten, which is not being done now. Con sequently, two-thirds of the school children in this county today are not reaching more than two-thirds as high in efficiency as they would by properly study" ing. An ither advantage that will be achieved by keep ing children home at night will be the saving of so many of the boys from jails and jjenitentiaries, and so many girls from shame, disgrace, and final destruc tion. If tlipre is one thing that is sapping the life out GIVES FACTS ON TEACHERS' PAY AND TRAINING !_ (Continued from page one) may be cut out by higher standard.-. A s-titf legislative fight can always be provoked by a proposal materially to increase the" standards for the cer tification of teachers throughout a State. The sympathy of the public goes out largely to "the poor teacher," instead of to the children under the poor teacher. If good teachers are to be obtained to fill vacancies, and those now in the force are to continue to rejider good service, alt must enough to enable them to live as persons of cul ture and refinement should. An examination of the recently pub lished report of the committee on teachers' salaries of the National Ed ucation Association reveals a rather pitiful situation in many of our Amer ican cities. From S4OO to S!4OU a year for elementary-school teachers, with the median of $550 to S6OO, and from S6OO to $1,200 for secondary-school teachers, with the median near $450 or S9OO, is altogether too common in cities of from 25,000 to 50,000 inhabitants Such salaries arc shamefully low, if anything like adequate > standards are to be insisted on. How low such salaries are can per haps be understood better hx turning such yearly pay into a daily-wage table. There are twelve months or 313 working days in a year, for which almost all other forms of service are paid. That the teacher works only m»l iinilln.m 160 days, a" year Ts, im part, necessitated by the nerve-try id| of teaching, and in part by the requirements of children and pureuts. The teacher must live the «rhoie year round. Such a wage stan 4ard give* the following results; f46Q a year equals $1.27 per working „ 1700 a year equals $2.23 per working 4ay. * SOOO a yea# equals per working of society today, it is the permitting of boys and girls to run wild, both day and night; and we may as well face the facts honestly and tell the truth about it. Our present laxity in governing our young folks is going to weaken them mentally and morally and cause us shame in the end. « ' We need to be aroused to the appalling situation, | and not spend so much money for schools simply to i be wasted for the want of proper government of our ' children. ] « Fathers and mothers, check up on your children I and see how much time they are wasting and how near the deadline they are traveling. One Source of Our Trouble It is a good thing for us to sit down every now and then alone and be perfectly honest with ourselves, our neighbors, our country, the schools, the churches, and all other things around us ?ven the pjlitician.% When we do that we are going to be surprised to ' see just how much of our trouble is bred, born and j cultivated within our ownselves. Our government 1 has been extravagant, but not as extrnvapant as we 1 have l>een. Our schools have been inefficient and wasteful, but not as much so as we. Our churches may have suffered some spiritual weakness, but they are better than we are and their weakness is our own fault. Our neighbors and their children are imper j feet, but they are as good as we and our children are. If we will think and act honestly with ourselves, we will quickly discover a way to banish at least half j of our troubles. The quickest and best way to do it I is to come square with ourselves and our neighbors and not try to pack all of OUT troubles on THE other I fellow. I-•"r * ' V ' Firm Foundation Necessary I When we learn that trying to make a fortune on borrowed capital is a very hazardous thing, we will 1 be better business folks. There are very few people who make financial ven tures on borrowed capital who feel good about paying j back if the venture fails to produce. The best way to build a fortune or a character is to start at the bottom and build a firm foundation. Hon esty, truth, |lerseverance, and the ability to be con tent and patient even though the growth be slow, is the surest way to attain success. We put the keystone and ornaments on the building after we have done much hard labor and careful work. If we are to succeed in the true sense of the word; that is, to be such a person as we wish to be in the business and moral world, we will have to do it through many small savings and good deeds. Nation Watches Roosevelt The light on James J. Walker, mayor of New York, will doubtless drift into a battle between right and wrong. v . . • ; Governor Franklin 1). Roosevelt is pressing the in vestigation of Walker's administration, which doubt less will unearth many crooked things in the New York City administration. Roosevelt's attitude in the fight will have much to do with his candidacy for the Democratic nomipgtWn. If he tnakes a real fight for truth, honesty, arid jus tice; and shows up any fraud and graft that may exist, the country will take-hold of him. If, on the other hand, he gets cold feet and helps smother things up, it will oj>erate against him. Charles Evans, Hughes came to the front on account of his vigorous prosecution of insurance graft in the State of New York. > SI,OOO a year equals $.1.18 per work ing day. sl,2tM)'a year equals $3 84 per work ing day.. Carpenters, machinists, plumbers, lathers, plasterers, bricklayers, hod carriers, cnginemen, trainmen, niotor tuen clerks in city offices, policemen. Bremen, chauffeurs, dressmakers, mil liners. and nurses are paid be'ter than are teachers, at the annual salaries usually paid, though the education and professional preparation required for such services, except in the case of nurses, is not comparable with that re quired of teachers. No marked ad vance in raising the standards for en tering the work, or in paying teach ers on the basis of efficiency is pos sible under such salary schedules. When the American bill for educa tion is compared wi h the bill for to bacco, drink, candy, and soda water, or amusements, and the importance of education in unifying our people and in saving and advancing the best in- of tlic race are remembered, such salaries as are now paid elemen tary and scondary school teachers in many of our cities—in practically all of the cities of some of our State —arc little less than disgraceful. Cons dcr ing the importance of tilt service and the cost of training and living, a he - Kinnii\g salary of S6OO to S7OO and in creasing automatical)* to at least SI,OOO for .elementary school teachers, and a beginning salary of SBOO to S9O0 t and increasing automatieally up to at least $1,200 for secondary-school teachers^is certainly not an unreason able amount for any American city ty town to pay. Salary should be based on "Ten l'Ollffi' 1 : (1) Hiysipal aspect of school; (2) Teacher's personality; (3) Adaptability; (4) Loyalty to school policies; (5) Spirit of cooperation; .(6) Attitude toward pupils; (7) Dis cipline and control; (8) Teaching Skill; (9) Professional interests; (10) General impression. r NOTICE OP ELECTION An election is hereby called at the regular polling place in the Town of Willismston, North Carolina, between the hours of • o'clock and sunset on Tuesday, Ma/ 5, 1931, when Uur quail- fied yoters of the Town of Williain ston will ballot for a mayor and five 'commissioners of the said town for the two years next after their election, j The following person has been se lect'ted to sit as registrar at his office -mi Main Street: j John 1..
