Never has the star of Elizabeth
City Rotary bIiooo brighter and 1
never has the spirit of the Old
Heme Town appeared to hotter
advantage than on Friday at the
? JUMillialt of- the First- Methodist
? Church whew Tfaeher?' Night wan
observed with a pror.ram delight
fully spiced with variety and re
plete with features that made the
oeeaaion a veritable feast of fun
and fellowship and Inspiration.
Teachers" Night 1* a sort of get
acquainted night, and Teachers'
Night 1924 from thin standpoint
can only be described as a huge
success. The Rotarlans not only
got acquainted with teachers
whose names they had nut known
before and madf these teachers
acquainted with the spirit of Eliz
abeth City Rotary, but also the
Rotarlans learned quite a lot
About each other. Mora Hulls 's
address of welcome, for Instance,
was a gem of purmit ray serene
While Sam Parker's flights of ora
tory were a revelation.

"A great many of you think of

"I have heen here now for six

been very much Interested in

,terest:-d In athletics is because I
am interested In boys.
i "Play 1h a natural instinct of
youth and unless an outlet is pro
vided for that Instinct In the way
i of games your boys will drift in
to gangs.
"If the school Is to develop
, and train your hoy as It should It
must teach him more than be can
learn front lore of books. It must
throw around him the proper so
cial atmosphere and develop him
physl&lly and morally as well as
intellectually. In my athletic
work my primary Idea Is not to
develop a l?m but to develop pu
pils. Anil even in building a tram
my Idea Is not so much to devel
op a winning team as a team that
will work together, each member
always putting the team ahead of
self, always doing his" TR?8t *nd
playing the game under evciV cir
cumstance whether of victory or
! dofeat In such a way as to reflect
, credit on his school. I try to Im
, prees upon every team that I have
I anything to do with that fair play
and good sportsmanship Is mors
: Important than winning games.
Make* Murccwiful Men
"Group athletics not only af
ford an outlet for the boy's gang
Instinct and surplus energies, hut
they give him an Intellectual and
moral tralplng that he ran get in
no other way. On the athletic
field. Is I have said, the boy is
taught the principle of fair play,
which Is a rule of life nod of busi
ness, He Is also taught to think
quickly and clearly in a crisis,
i and that too Is a requisite for the
fullest moasure of success In life
and In business.
"The trouble wl?H athletics In
our olty schools Is that they reach
only comparatively few of the pu
pils and that the o^ly playgrounds
we have ? those of the city schools

when the hoys and girls have

?Is to keep those playgrounds open

There was a young maid from

"A boy." he said# "has 2,000
muscles to do something and not
one to kefp still."
Wanted Third Kye
He told a story of a parson's,
breaking in on an argument
among four email boys about
where each would wish to havo a
third eye ? If he had three eyes.
( the , smallest youngster In the
bunrh coining up finally with the
statement that If he could have
another eye he'd like to have It
at the end of his foreflngor so
he could poke the finger through
a knothole and aeo a baseball
?^H?iuo,_
The story was foTd" Try way of-'

1 t'miuestionably his spirited reply

Whatever Davis can do really J*
the key to the whole situation for
there Is little doubt now that tho
La Toilette party has made Its
greatest gains from the Demo
crats. If Davis can recover Dem
ocratic votes he makes it easier
for Coolldge to win the North
west. Hut the Democrats by a
curious combination of circum
stances are not working hard to
bring that about. On the contrary
there nre local Issues in several

Some of the so-called practical
politichma insist that they are
really helping Davis for if La Toi

drive the contest Into the House

Yet the young colonel. ("Ted"
bin father alwAyn called him) lma
a political path ahead of li'ini as
rough as rider ever negotiated.
He han the task of being himself.
Already he has been accused by
hia political antagonists of trying '
to wear the mantle which once
fitted the hroad shoulder* of hia
father; already he han been pic
tured in bootn far too big for lilni;
already he han been nhown in a
vain endeavor to lift the big slick
from the ground. There In evi
dence on every hand that bin
ntoven will be walrhed with keen
eyen and that no matter how nat
ural may come to him aonie of the
better known mannerlnmn of Ills
father, there will be those to say,
that these arc merely nasunied for,
