THE PENDULUM IS
SWINGING BACKWARD.
For more than a quarter of a cen
tury the public school system in
North Carolina has had full, com
plete and whole-hearted support of
the entire state. The pendulum
favoring the' schools started swing
ing forward in its favorable course,
ami throughout all these years r.ot.h
io g has Keen too good for our
schools.
..ike all other popular movements,
th. ? time comes when the pendulum
}\ iies the end of its outward
swing, and the return begins. Let it
&?? remembered, too, that a pendulum
swng* just as rapidly in one direc
tion as it does in another. The stale
that expressed its willingness to give
its t'ul! measure of support to the
schuc -ystem, is now demanding re
lief from the l>urden it brought up
on itself by giving its unstinted sup
port to the school movement.
It i- necessary to retrench in the
public expenditure of money. It is
in accepted fact that many thousands
A>f dnllai's have been wasted in the
operation of our schools. There is
si.j'r saving that ean be effected
idiruugh curtailment of school ex
penditures.
We must be careful, however, in
our tampering with the schools.
Other departments of state and
county government must not be over
looked in our desire for relief from
burdensome taxation. Let us not
make the fatal mistake of seeing
jiothing but the school to whittle
down, unci, seeing nothing else, whit
ti ? ? i -r-ioi.i to such a small splinter
i i ;u i UM'fulness is impaired, if not
altogether ruined.
Let Mr. Average Man think well
before he is led to believe that the
schools are altogether the cause of
burdensome taxation. Let him think
thru before ho joins the crowd that
v. ' ? nraet ieally destroy our public
: I .ei it be well remembered
(Iku the High' School is the highest
institution of learning that, the aver
ji-.re man's children ever attend. The
.business man, the professional man,
the man with money, these can send
their children to college and univer
sity. Not so with the working man
and the average farmer. 'The High
School is the high spot in the life
<'f learning for the children in the
homos of these men. Then guard it
with jealous care. It is the only
chance 'the majority of children have
?to obtain a fair education. s
DAN HILL NAMED I OR
ANOTHER TERM.
Dan W. Hill.' Asheville postmaster,
. - I>t?n named by Pre dent Hoover
to serve another term postmaster
is the Metropolis of The Land of the
Skv., That mits us to a t-y-t. Dan
Hill just naturally fits into that po
giving fine service to the
Asheville people, and, with his genial
disposition and natural tact in meet
ing strangers one minute and making
friends out of them the next min
ute. he is a great asset in a tourist
t.. 11 lil.f Asheville.
Tiie main thing, however, that
2Rafc.es this re-appointment especially
pleasing is the manner in which Mr.
Bill treats his subordinates in the
service and in the several branches
9f the Asheville otfice. One can gen
erally tell the type of man a man
is by the way and manner in which
3ie treats the men under him. Post
flia-ter Dan Hill numbers among his
closest friends the men who work
urith him, and that's enough said,
This one thing brands him as being
?all wool and a yard wide, and in
this we do not mean to refer to Mr.
Hill's physical set-up, either.
BLESS OLD ROSMAN,
HER PEOPLE ARE FINE.
Hats off to Rosman! It was neees
aary that certain things be done in
that town last week in order to carry
on certain work in this paper, and
some three score citizens of that fine
section walked right up and placed
their shoulders to the wheel, 'and
rolled the old machine out of the
ditch.
Of course The Brevard News is
grateful to Rosman. In every way
possible, this paper wants to serve
Hcftian and her fine people. The
^operation there is 100 per cent.
WOMEN ISSUED VERY FINE
EDITION OF THE PAPER.
From many quarters have come
complimentary remarks and most
favorable editorial comment on the
issue of The Brevard News of last
week, edited by the Business and
Professional Women's Club of Bre
vard. The organization throughout
the nation was observing the week,
and many fine ideas of doing some
thing unusual and constructive was
followed out by various clubs. None,
however, made a finer showing than
the Brevard club made in editing the
issue of their county paper.
While all members of -the local
club assisted in the woyk, most of
the credit is being given to Miss
Alma Trowbridge, who worked for
many days on the issue, and wrote
the fine editorials, many of which
bare been reprinted in the daily
papers of this and other states.
There is no finer organization go
ing today than the Brevard club of
the Business and Professional Wo
men.
A communication was received by
The Brevard News purporting to be
from the citizens of Boyd township,
making suggestion of three names as
candidates for the county board of
commissioners. As the article was
not signed, and as we know of no one
to communicate with about the mat
ter, the article is, of coursc, being
Withheld. If it is an authentic an
nouncement, and if some citizen will
sponsor its publication, paying for
same, it will be published as other
announcements of like nature are
published.
THE DYING C9WBOY
() bury me not on the lone prairie
These words came slow, and mourn
fully
From the pallid lips of a youth who
lay
On his cold damp bed at the close of
day.
Chorus
0 bury me not on the lone prairie
Where the wild coyote will howl
o'er me,
Where the cold winds sweep, and the
grasses wave
Xo sunbeams rest on a prairie grave.
Chorus
He has wasted and pined, till on his
brow
Death's shades are slowly gathering
1 now;
He thought of his home, with his
j loved ones nigh
?As the cowboys gathered to see him
Chorus
'Again he listened to the well known
words,
i 'Co the wind's soft sigh, and the
song of the birds.
He thought of his home and his
native bowers
; Where he loved to roam in his child
hood hours.
Chorus
J I've ever wished, that when I died
My grave might- be on the old hill
side,
Let there the place of my last rest be
0 bury me not on the lone prairie.
Chorus
O'er my slumbers ? a mothers prayer
And a sister's tears will be mingled
there.
For 'tis sad to know that the heart
throbs o'er
And that its fountain will gush no
more.
Chorus
In my dreams I saw ? but his voice
failed there,
And they gave no heed to his dying
prayer.
In a narrow grave, six feet by three,
They buried him there on the lono
prairie.
Chorus
May the light winged butterfly
pause to rest
O'er him who sleeps on the prairie's
crest.
May the Texas rose in the breezes
wave ' -"Hi
O'er him who sleeps in a prairie
grave.
Chorus
SUNSET
1 stood in the fields at sunset
I And gazed toward the west
i While the King of Day in his beauty
[Was slowly sinking to rest.
Neath the purple mountains of the
clouds
His face was lost from sight
But the west was filled with his rad
iance
And the clouds were tipped with his I
light.
The valley was veiled with amethyst
And the mountains were tipped with
gold
The hills were wrapped in purple
So richly fold on fold.
Now dim and faint and far away
Came the last slanting ray of the sun
So softly it touched the darkening
earth
I knew that the day was done.
I think from the wreck of Eden
And all of the beauty there
Cod must have saved us this treas
ure
The wonder of the sunset so rare.
And He who paints the sunset
With its beauty so rich and grand
Is the one who will guide our foot- |
^ steps
And hold to our trembling hand
When the evening of life is ap- j
proaching
And its sunset is almost here
And the pleasures of Heaven seem j
near
And perchance in the realms of j
Paradise
With its beauty so wondrous fair
We shall find an eternal sunset
Changeless in its glory, forever
anchored there.
