saw its beginning in the fact that the

>aw the jazz symptoms in the grown
ups ?inite as much as in the young
pe<<;.le. He included the modern Ist
fundamentallst con t rovers y in the
* i "toms of the jazz age.
Mr. Livers was speaking tinder the
" auspices of t|?e Elizabeth City Par
ent Teachers' Association and he he
-an by saying that too Ions the par
ents and teachers have passed the
lute;, the parents dcmamlinu -that
tli. teachers do it all for Willie. and
the teachers, in turn, saying. "When
school is out, the responsibility is
yours.'*
T e Parent-Teachers' Association
? ' ?* to u? I away from the Jazz
tine s, and t <? make for harmony, for
co-n i m ration. for accomplishing
>.??;? ???thins for Willie that will mak?
Mm a cleaner, more decent chap
win he grows up.
Mr. Livers figured. that siving the
boy the required hours in school,
two services at church 011 Sunday,
t necessary time for oating and
>' ? .in- nt houM."? be still has 4S0
d:i> - of.Ylght hours each per year on
Ms hands, and this is the "time
preMem" which must be solved.
Much of It must be solved at home.
. Mother and Dad must get acquainted
with th? ir own children. No teach
er. no Hoy Scout leader, no anybody
can lake the place of ibis.
But leading up to the point of the
addiess. supervised play must he
provided. This is necessary today
b. cause Willie has no kickinu cows
to * illk. Ho tcts his milk delivered
In bottles at the door. He has no
wood to chop, and few. if any. chores
to do at home., Times have channel
and something lniifjt be provided as
an outlet to tbt* boy's energies.
Supervised play is the answer.
"Don't put all your money in ex
pensive equipment." said Mr. Livers.
"You have opportunity here that
niak? ?? me envy you in the open
Space about your school plant. Su
pervision and room are the funda
mental needs. Certain equipment
' such a? baseballs and bats, volley
balls and nets, and certain other
comparatively Inexpensive Items
will have to be purchased, but these
are merely Incidental expenses. Put
a trained supervisor In charge of
your play ground and with this lit
tie equipment she will organize the
various units' a^cftfdlnu to their nee
and physical vlcor and will bring tr
pass results that will astound you.
"I say 'she'." said the speaker. "In
response to a question from the floor,
because men trained as play direc
tors are scarce and command a high
saTnT> . TTTTf WT mn n woman
Capable of directing play activities
on your playground at a very much
more moderate salary and I believe
that *he would fill your needs almost
if not quite as well/*
Unlike previous theorists who
have sought to preach play grounds
In Kllzabeth City, Mr. Livers was in
tensely practical. "You can ?? f a
youn. woman such as 1 have spoken
of," he raid, "and you can start
wor'i this slimmer, without any mor ?
dela? . vo that when 1 come again I
will find you busy dofnu mid plan
ning on your playc round."
Mr. Livers abo nrgAd eight years
work Instead of seven In the lower
grades and the need of a supervisor
of music in the schools here. Hnl.
those problems are to be tacklvd la
tef. The biggest and best part of
his message was thaf Kllzabeth 0?'v
ne?d no longer t;ilk about compli
cated and expensive and far-away
play u rounds. but may by the sunt
* mcr have a workable plan that will
keep the children happ> and busy

"That 'makes no difference/' said

Ahont this time Sheriff Flora

Mr. McMullan. "and wrote a check

see that that Velie doesrt't lea-ve here'

"Those Norfolk fellows went home

them left Currituck without paying

inspector for being hard. If I had
Ills job I'd be just as hard as lie is.
He can't afford to listen to excuses.
If lie did he would never pet any

number of people in Currituck Coun

automobile license Is."
George J. Studdert. the inspector,
was in lower Currituck last week and
has been working the upper part of
the county this week. He sent over
$t;00 for licenses collected last week
and will probably turn in a larger
sum this week.

<? rover VV. Kails, Count v agent of
Pasquotank Cnuuty. outlined tin
proper met liod of preparing a perma-?

years pre pa ration, with lime treat
ment. small yraln plowed under, and
s?4y '??ans plowed under before the
plant inu of a grass mixture adapted
to the soil and ellmatlc conditions.
In Illustrating his remarks lie yave

County which ItaVe been set out In
a scientific manner and have paid
their owners well. Some of those
Permanent pasture# are five years
old and still good he said.
W. Q. Jennlnus, a practical farmer
of Klizabrth City who motored over
with Mr. Falls from that city, was
then called upon to tell of the re
sults he has had on his permanent
pasture.
Mr. Jennings told how he had tak
en his hoys tiii t of the swamp at Mr.
Falls' suggestion and put them on
pasture. H?' said he had cut two
tons of hay to the acre and had
crazed a number of rows and hoys
for five months.
"And that Is not all the benefit*
from a pasture," said Mr. Jennings.
"If leaves a rich piece of yround
w,hen It Is plowed ?p. 1 hl+e a. piece
thaf used to produce 10 bushels of
corn to the acre whiOi now pro
duces '?f> bushels. It's true more has
been done to that land than plant a
pasture but It was a ureal help. A
pasture not only yrnws yood hoys,
cattle, and chickens, but II main -
land."
Fred I'. Latham of Ileihuven
was then asked to explain his
system for raining hoys, Before be
ginning his interesting talk on ho*
raising Mr. Latham explained how
he came to present.
"When I saw notice In tie- Eliz
