An invitation was extended the
teachers to hold their next yearly
meeting in (Jreenvllle. which was
unanimously accepted.
The feature of the morning ses
??inn was the address by A. T. Al
len. State Superintendent of Pub
lic Instruction. Mr. Allen's theme
being. "Conditions In the Rural
Schools In Comparison with one
Teacher Schools." The outstand
ing idea was that the child who
lives In the country, goes to school
approximately three years longer
than the city child, often getting
discouraged and stopping; also
that this child has not gotten the
same grade of training as the city
Child. Seventy-five per cent of
the school children come from the
country and the city population Is
largely composed of the above
group. The State should increase
Its teacher training and give the
country pupils the same advant
ages it allows the city child. "Is
It fair." Mr. Allen asked, "to ex- i
poet high school graduates to go 1
to (Jreenvllle or similar training
schools to prepare themselves with
? three or four year course to
have them return and offer them a
six months' school term. The idea
that any kind of teacher Is good
enough for the primary grades Is
a grave mistake. You should put
the best teachers you have In the
elementary grades for often It
takes severs I years for a higher
grade teacher to correct the work
done In the lower grades. State
legislation should be enacted to
give every child in North Caroli
na the rluht to an eight months
school, subject to the demands of
the community, or more If the
community wlafces u. This Is the
first step in uplifting the rural
schools to the standard It Is seek

Washington. Nov. 1 6. ? Wash
ington ha* been wanting a hero
for a long time and Colonel Billy
Mitchell appear* to have filled the
more or leaa aching void. Th?*
Capital residents have wanted
some one to cheer when hia pic
ture appuared on the screen at
the movies, and they have be<u
che- ring the doughty colonel to
the echo. They like beat th?
poses shown where he is stand
ing before the court, head erect,
shoulder* thrown back, finely
chiseled chin aloft ? the very em
bodiment of defiance and th*
damnation of all traitors. Movie
goers know how to appreciate a
good registration and they love
the way the colonel reglaters be
fore the camera.
But it is not alone at the mov
ies that Colonel Mitchell is hon
ored and sung. His every public
appearance is a signal for a dein- <
onKtration. Washington is not a
demonstrative community. It Is
inclined to take its great and
near-great rather casually ? aa
home folks are always wont to
take their high priests and proph
ets. Of all the cities In the t'nit
<d States Washington believes in
keeping cool. Generally speaking
It is as cool today as it ever was.
But Colonel Mitchell makes It
lose its head. The high officials
of the Army and Navy are not to
be included by any chance in the
lists of Mitchell hern- worshippers.
Thev are almost unanimous In
their opinion that he has been
both disrespectful and Insubordin
ate and should be thrown bodily
out of the service. Society and
the women folks who always have
made a fuss over the colonel when
he has been on duty here, a re /the
leaders In the Mitchell vogue. The'
colonel and his wife are being en
tertained dally and on Sunday as
If he were some visiting prince or
potentate. If it were not for the
fact that he is compelled during
part of the day to face his stern
and war-weary Judges of the court
martial, the colonel would be
wined and dined, morning, noon
and night.
But there is still another claa*
of Mitchell worshippers here In
Washington and perhaps It Is the
largest class of all. It Is made up
of the tens of thousands of Gov
ernment department clerks, men.,
women and flappers. The colonel
appeals to them mightily. Per
haps he is saying a few things
about the higher-ups In the Gov
ernment the clerks would like to
say themselves. In any event ev
ery time he deals a new hammer
blow the clerks arise and howl
with a glee that can well be
classed as ghoulish The clerks
admire the nerve of the colonel.
They like to see him standing up
there In fighting posture. Tin
clerks can't get Into the court
martial ? only some 80-odd spec
tators are admitted each day?
and they are largely relatives of
the court, but these servants of
the Government are following the
trial closely through the papers!
and through the moving pictures
and they are having the times of
their lives.
It Is said that Washington for J
once reflects the views of the rest
of the country, so far as the man
in the street Is concerned. You |
can hear the case discussed every
where. Two disappointed would
be spectators were standing out
side the court room here k day or
two ago.
"He won't get a squat e deal.",
said one.
"Of course not," said the other.
But the colonel appesrs to be
getting a square deal at the pres
ent time. He has been given a
latitude which Is nothing short of
amazing.
