COMMUNICATION
Raleigh, N. C., Aug. 18. ? The
special session of the General Ass
embly has been in action nearly, two
weeks with nothing of consequence
to its credit. It will probably com
plete its "labors" by the end of the
week.
/ It' is practically a foregone con
? elusion even by the most sanguine
proponents of the Ship and water
ways bill that the measure will be
submitted to a vote of the i>cople in
he coming November election ; and
that it will 'be defeated by an over;
' whelming majority. .
The Senate committee reported
the bill to that body with the referen
dum provision aricken from the bill,
but after three days deliberation it
was "re-inserted" by a vote of 27 to
14 and goes to the House today. Af
ter rejecting the committee' amend
ment the bill, , which provides for the
issue of $8,600,000 in bonds, all
tolcLj passed the Senate by a practi
cally unanimous vote. It could not
possibly have passed without the
restoration of the , referendum fea
. ture. "v.
The 'suggestion of a referendum
practically killed any hopes of get
" ? ting the water transportation meas
ure through this Legiale-ture without
a provision submitting it to a vote
of the people. It took the starch
out of the backbone of those who
had cherished hopes that the Assem
bly would approve the bill , without
the consent of the people. ? Fervid
oratory could not btem the tide
against the adoption of the com
mittee's report.
There seems to be a chance for
the King Bus bill to pass in modified
form. As originally written con
siderable opposition to it had devel
oped. The bus line people and tho3e
who believe that transportation of
this ' character should pay a tax and
' be regulated are asking for its pas
sage. A determined effort to put it
over in some elective form will be
made. The Governor's attitude in
opposition is looked upon as pure !
piffle ar.d demagogery.
^ The House has whipped into shape
the amendment to the Constitution
to provide the inviolability of sink
ing funds, and has been considering
a measure for the judicial establisii
ment-of the State by creijting coun
ty courts with superior jur.sdiction
in larger counties.
The consideration of the Child
Labor amendment to the Federal
Constitution will be^in early this
week. That it will be rejected is al
most ceitain. There is little hope
for effective Child Labor legisiiit ,-:i
in North Carolina until the pco^.
themselves awake to the importance
of conserving the ""pen corn." Em
ployers of Children have the whip
hand and do not expect to surrender
until an outraged n?Mic sentiment
demands a square deal for juvenile
workers.
The bill to repeal the provision
passed at the regular session exemp
ting from taxation stocks in foreign
corporations "died a borning." Con
sidered bad politics, perhaps, with
a campaign approach'-- But it is
all right to reject the child labor a
mendment favored by the organized
workers of the State. That seem:;
to be the attitude and the labor vote
can "go hang."
A bill has been introduced sub
mitting an amendment to the State
Constitution allowing members of
the General Assembly $6.00 as com
pensation for a session not exceed
ing sixty days. This must run the
gauntlet of the two branches and be
ratified by the electorate.
The salary of Chairman Page, of
the State Highway Commission, is
to be doubled, if the House shall
agree with the Sams bill approved
by the Senate.
DOES EDUCATION PAY?
This is the season when many pa
rents and young pepole are consider
ing the question, "School or work?"
A few rare geniuses who have ac
quired wealth and fame without
education are cited as proof that
education is not necessary to suc
cess. The vary rarity of these men
makes them conspisuous.
Read the following facts from
"Student Life:"
Constantly the college graduate is
confronted by the query, Does Edu
cation pay? To some it does not,
but there are failures in every line
and these, for most part, were fail
ures in College.
Education does not insure success
it merely makes the chance hotter.

WORK ON SCHOOL
PROGRESSING
i ?
The busiest looking: place in town
is the new High School building. The
contractors are a little behind with
the work, owing to a wait for mater
ial but' the force is well organized
and . everybody works.
The walls of the basement, or
ground floor, are up and the fram
ing on the^next floor going in.
In the basement are six rooms which
can be used for school purposes.
Here will be the departments of Ag
riculture, Manual Training and Phy
sical Trainifig. In order to cut down
the cost, the Board of Education cut
out the swimming pool which was in
the original plan, but the ' shovar
baths will be there. Near the center
will be a storage room for records
and school supplies.
The boiler and fufel rooms are
Sunder the stage of the auditorium.
On- the left of the entrance to the
first floor is the principal's office,
with a second door opening into the
adjoining library. There are five
recitation rooms on this floor, which
also has the large auditorium. This
auditorium will seat about 1500
people, eleven hundred on the main
floor and four hundred in the gal
lery. ? ,
The stage is 36 X 72 fept.
The auditorium, of course, is two
stories^ in height.
The upper floor has four recita
tion rooms and the Home Economics
department. This department, to
our mind, is going to be the finest
thing in the Duiding.
Here students will learn that
feeding people is not menial drug
gery, but an important science.
Chcre is a food laboratory, kitchen,
dining room, sewing room, and stor
age room for this department.
It is expected that the next com
mencement will be held in this new
building.
SHIPMAN WITHDRAWS
FROM PAPER
Raleigh, N". C., August 18. ? Com
missioner M. L. Shipman, who re
cently aliigned himself with a move
ment to establish a State weekly
newspaper in lialeigh, issued the fol
ow.ng statement on Saturday:
"Until further notice I shall not
be connected in any capacity with
the Carolina Jeffersonian, the new
State weekly newspaper published
in Raleigh. I am withdrawing from
active participation in its publica
tion for the reason that the labor
involved in the preparation of mat
ter and supervision in other ways is
loo exacting when superadded to the
Duties I owe the State.
"I Jr. James H. Dodgen, one of
the promoters, assumes entire con
trol ofthe Jeffersonian and the pub
lication will continue under his msn
agement for the present.
"'The paper has been - c-*>-><-ial
success from the very first issue,
and if thestandard set for it is main
tained the promoter should experi
ence little difficulty in building for
the future. North Carolina is a fer
tile filed lor a high class State week
?y
' I am deeply appreciative of thu
active and prospective cooperntio:: |
oi friends in the promotion of the
enterprise so far evidenced, and re
gret that official duties conflict with
further active connection with the
J publication at this time."
centiy published some statistics in
the Minneapolis Journal showing the
effect of education upon farmers in
that region.
Men of high school education, ho
says, on these farms earned about
five hundred dollars yearly; those
with some college training made a
bout six hundred dollars annually;
but those with a complete college
training had an average yearly in
come of more than three thousand
dollars.
Only thirty one persons out of
five millions with no schooling attain
| distinction in their work; with cle
I mentary schooling eight hundred
and eight out of three million ?i
cheive some distinction; with a
' high school education twelve hun
dred out of two million rise above
| the average in accomplishment ; with
a college education more than five
' thousand out of a million render no
( table service.
1 Put in another way the figures
mean that the college graduate has
' ten times the chance of making
j good that the high school graduate
has, and twenty-two times better
chance* than hs- ,-e wso f.kes or.'y
the elementary courses. ? Studer.,

VANDALS AT WORK
We have been informed that some
sou.less imbecile has stolen one of
the lights from the Soldiers Monu
ment.
There is an epithet applied to
lcw-llved miscreants to the effect
that thev "would steal the money
from a dea'i man's eye3."
The cowardly ANIMAL, not mail,
who would uesecrat^ a monument
erected in honor of men who offer
ed themselves a sacrifice for the wel
fare of humanity is so utterly de
spicable that language is inadequate
to describe him.
BALSAM GROVE SCHOOL
Dear Educational Co- Workers :
Will you close vonr eyes and im
agine that you are visiting Balsam
Grove? In other words, let's see
what the 3pirit of Balsam Grove
school is like.
First we will gaze upon the three
room school building as it stands in
a lovely, rolling, and fertile Galley
at the head of the French Broad
River, with its clear, crystal watms
rolling, tumbling, and rippling down
the stream over the rocks, as if to
say. "Arise, shine to greater and
more noble things." , .
Then at the back of the building
is L,een a beautiful little mountain
with wild flowers, Rhodendron and
mountain laurel, with a powerful
j force of beauty. The "Devil's
; Court House," "The Pilot,'' and
' the many picturesque places of the
[wonderful Balsam Mountains lend a
I thrilling hand to the grandeur al
ready mentioned.
I As these wonderful pieces of na
j ture stand out so vividly, one is
I made feel, surelv God ? jp no more
perfect spot on earth for a rural
! school.
The real school spirit is demon
strated on Saturday before opene i
I on Monday, when two of the schoo
boys are seen in their trt'e'- ""1
down the mountain to Brevard t. '
get school supplies, such as black
boards, floor oil, broom*, etc. While
i waiting for their return one of the
. older school boys to^k the school
I ground in charge, and right soon
! the lawn was nicely mowed and later
i the basketball court was ^-.tractive"
finished. The walk of vYte grav
?eoms in parallell with the rew gr
at the front.
Shall we move on the interior
of the building and see the girl's
work? Yes, the girls are working
with an equal amoii~? -* skill.
Monday has arrived and we see
'he P.:.g, or "The Glory Of Democ
racy," waving high over the heads
of the parents, representing twenty
j seven homes, as they gathered one
I after another for the opening exer
I cises of the third year of consolidat

THE PRAYER CORNER
1 The Name of the Unknown Child
Augustus Caesar has passed to
his fathers, his name is a name and JJj
a name only to tens of thousands, no
thrill 'of enthusiasm runs through the
sysUfln when his name is mentioned, >"
to the million it is preserved indeed, ,
in one of the 'months of the year,
and stands for something more than
a name to those who have eyes to
see, but compare it now and during rfj
the intervening years, with The
name of the unknown child, who was
born in the days of Caesar Augus
tus. What a strange comment on ...
the real and the apparent. Why . I
every letter we write, we date, as so
many years from the h'rth of the ,
babe of Bethlehem. Every invoice
we send out, every bill wo receive,
every paper we read, ' every maga
zine we take up, every monthly, we
jptn, every quarterly we buy, every
advertisement we see, all are dated
as being posted- or written, or sent,
or received, so days, or
months Or years f**o~i ? >' r
supreme importande that we calcu
late time itself from happening.
If .you have made your peace with
him, The Child of Bethlehem, He
will abide with you. Your ever pre-'
sent loving guest. His smile reflec
ting itself in your spirit and filling
;-ou with a sweet graciousness that
will make you welcome wherever you
go. If you trust Him fully and com
pletely and give your life into his
peeping you can tell other.: how p:e
cious He is. O Blessed ?-'a be thoa + j
the strength and. the stdy of tho.ie /?
who trust in thee.

Mr. John S. Boggi of Turkey Creek. '
Prof. Boggs was a former resi

South Carolina.
This is his first visk for t " years,

Prof. Boggs has many old friends
