Friday, April 5, 1935 The "School Lobby" We cannot help resenting the insinuations of some people who are always jumping on what they call "The School Lobby." It is quite noticeable that such accusations usually come from representatives of those who hate taxes so badly. If there is such a thing as a school lobby, may it grow and prosper until it forces the law making bodies of the land to furnish an adequate educational sys tem?not the kind we now have, especially when our children are tumbled together, both day and night, in their quest for sports and pleasure and neglecting their work? but a real school system, to teach citizen ship and the enlargement of head and heart. What would we be without our schools? And which is best: What we have, or half what we have? Would it not be better to have twice as good schools as we now have? If we are m a hole over the inefficiency OH -our schools, let's not act like children or ignoramuses and kill them, but rather let us make our schuols more ef ficient by improving them all along the line. We need to make the schools what they should be if they We do not object to a lobby that stands for the education of a poor child out of a rich man's pocket book. Choosing the Easiest Way Honestly, we think that Mrs. Sarah Elliott has made errors of judgment, as expressed in a recent article in Carl (ioerch's "State." She seems to be disturbed because the poor dear children have to study such hard subject as Latin, for instance. Why, the lady ought to know than less than one-tenth of 1 per cent of the school pupils study Latin. Then, too, she complains about the study ot algebra, geometry, and the other forms of higher mathematics. They have also just about been done away with, and it is now extremely hard to find a high-school graduate who can solve problems of pro portion, or work compound interest, or handle sums in percentage. She suggests teaching in sea matters, apparently un mindful that that quetsion is quite as well understood and mastered as any subject now taught in the pub lic schools. It seems that when man learns only the easy things in life he loses most of his power for good. The man who knows geometry can see far more of the beau ties of nature, and even life itself, than the man who is blind to the perfect laws of the Supreme Being, who has designed all the beauties of nature and laid out a universe of worlds that we may be blessed with their beauty and our whole lives enriched by their influence over our own world. We fear that the big thoughts expressed as a proper guide for a modern educational system leads to the teaching that we may be able to get more out of life than we give The generation that devises means whereby it can get much without paying much may be detrimental to the race. - e Let us fit ourselves so that we may be able to see further in the future than to go out with only enough knowledge of things to absorb the things that are near us. We must broaden our horizon if we expect to walk all the ways of life safely. Feed Them All Out of the Same Spoon Greenville Reflector. Word conies from Raleigh that the Senate Roads Committee has reported favorably a bill that would require a commission to study the claims of the vari ous counties for repayment of funds advanced by the counties for the building of state highways. Certain ly this bill should receive favorable action by both the Senate and House if the legislators want to be fair with the counties involved. At the time of the building of the first state high ways the state did not have the necessary funds to carry on the work, and many of the progressive coun ties either advanced the money to the state or built the roads for the state according to slate specifica tions. In the final settlement such advances from more than half the counties were considered loans to the state, and already these counties have been repaid $15,000,000 and will be repaid an additional $3,000, 000, but the advances by more than 40 counties were classed as gifts to the state, with the result that these counties are still left with the "bag to hold" in the way of binds issued by the counties to. derive the money that was turned over to the state. The repayment of this money to these counties is _nqt. diversion of highway-.funds, for the- money went into state highways and nowhere else, and to be sure the highway department, with a surplus close to $15, 000,000, is in position to make repayment to these counties, especially in view of the fact that the coun ties asked not for all of their money in a lump sum, but spread over a period of ten years. The legislature should pass this bill that would re quire the investigation of the claims of these counties with a view of placing them on a parity with those counties whose advances were considered as loans, and provision should likewise lie made to prevent fur ther payment to any county or use of the highway surplus for other pur|x>ses until this matter of settle ment with all the counties, is settled. There is no just Trason why all the counties ud the state should mt; be repaid their just claim's for money from which the state has received the full benefit and revenues.
