FRIDAY, APRIL 2, 1326. THE FRANKLIN PRESS PAGE FIVE Fit$NKLIN HIGH SCHOOL NEWS Furnished by Lanier Literary Society Editorial Work While You Work "Work while you work, And play while you play, This is the way To be cheerful and. gay." Everyone has had some one else preach that little sermon to him. But it really isn't so bad if you look at it right. Whatever your task may be. put your whole soul into it. That's the way the atrletic teams win, by going into the 'game whole-heartedly. If . you're studying, study. Don't think of that show you are. going to see tonight, or that new dress you should be making. The dress will be made quicker if you put your mind on the lesson and get through with it. Then make the dress, never wor rying about the lesson. Thus, both tasks are accomplished quicker and more efficiently, doing one at a time If you're playing, play for all you're worth. It will do you much more good than half-hearted play. Don't drag along, for the fellow who gets up and goes, is the one who count1 for something in this old world of ours. M. L.F. '26.

C School Newt "Beautify the school grounds" i coming to mean much to us. The eighth grade boys have been trans planting shrubbery on the school grounds to ward off spring fever as well as for beauty. Miss .Tim Crawford is ' having a swell time mumpsf The program given by the S. S. S. Society last Friday was splendid in its music, history, and scenes from life. ' The Franklin high school is train ing orators. If you dont believe it come . to the school house Friday night, April 2, and hear Betty Sloan and William McGuire debate againsf two high school students trom Waynesville. The subject will.be: Resolved : That North Carolina should levy a state tax on property to aid in the support of an eight months' school term." F. M. R. '26. Franklin elementary school, like the high school, is to be put on the state standard list very soon. That is something to be proud of, because we are the third school west of Asheviile to get on this list Sylva and Waynes ville being one or two yeaVs ahead of us. What does being a standard ele mentary school mean? It means first of an that the teachers must be sup plied with the necessary equipment for teaching ; such as maps, globes unabridged dictionaries, library suit able for the elementary school, sup plementary reading books, phonic cards and reading charts and so on. Teachers cannot, any more than me chanics, work without tools. Teachers cannot be hired for work in the school who have less. than an Elementary A, and this standard will be raised soon. Then the teachers of all the grades must put in a certain amount of time each day teaching the required subjects in our course of study. Ror instance, writing, be cause of a criwded curriculum, has often of late years been neglected But in a standard elementary schoo a certain amount of time each da: must be given to writing. Spellftv must have its neceslary amount of time. All students from the. fourth grade up must have a dictionary and be taught in regular lessons how to use it. A certain amount of time must be given to music and games as well as such studies as geography nstory, reaaing ana arnnmeiic. The county superintendent, Parent Teachers association, teachers and students have all worked together to put this thing over; It is something to be proud of. And it is something of inestimable value to the children of tiie Franklin high sehoo.l. We would like to say that Mr. Crawford and histtaclicrs should be remembered for what they did last year in starting the work for the standardization . of the school.

REECE'S RESTAURANT Open From Soon Till Late. Republicans Hold Big Meeting at Asheviile Asheviile, March 27. Much enthu siasm featured the meeting of the Republican Executive Committee for the 10th North Carolina' cangression- al district which met in Asheviile on this date to discuss the coming cam paign and political matters in . gen eral. ' One of the fit st actions takeri by the committee was the endorsment of the Republican national platform as follows : "First, thafwe heartily endorse the platform of the national Republican party and pledge ourselves to stand by and support the principles and policies enunciated thefcin. , "Second, We heartily endorse the' wisdom and patriotic administration of the affairs of this government ' by that profound statesman, Calvin Cool- ldge, President of the United States and commend him and those .who have supported his policies for an un precedented era of prosperity ' and progress that he has brought to our nation;,, and in this day when the burden of municipal and. 'state' taxa tion is growing almost unbearable we particularly commend the wisdom and patroitism of his policies which have elitninataed extravagance and reducted national taxation to a rea sonable basis." The committee alsowent on record as unanimously approving the man agement of the affairs of the Repub lican party in North Carolina by the state organization and especially commending State Chairman W. G. Brahmam for his efficient service to the party. To fill the vacancy which will occur upon his retirement, the committee went on record as being unanimously in favor of Hon. Brown low Jackson of Hendersonville as the Republican state chairman. A reso lution commending Mr. Jackson to the Republicans of this district and, the whole state of North Carohia re,an as 'follows: fi"That we have the utmost faith in Mr. Jackson's integrity as a man, his devotion to the principles of the Re publican party and his proven ability to successfully manage campaigns and party affairs." . Although the committee took no definite action regarding the coming congressional convention it was unanimously conceded that Captain R. Kenneth Smathcrs, a native of Canton and a practicing atttorney in Asheviile, whose candidancy has met with approval throughout the district, would receive the nomination without opposition. Captain Smathers is not Only popular with the organization, but is widely known throughout the district and has the support of the rank and file of the party. Just when a district convention will be called was not decided, but it is thought that no convention will be held until early fall, at which time a general mass meeting and convention will be held and the campaign will be launched. It is rumored that General Chas. G. Dawes, vice-president of the United States will be invited to be present to sound the key-note of the occasion. It is no secret that the natinal Republican organization has hopes of -carrying the tenth district this time and that they are going to put up a fight.
