Ilcilli Carolina Holds J Fortieth Place In Educational Rating (Continued from page one) longer point to war nor poverty in explanation or defense of our educa tional shortcomings. The South ranks low in education, when measured by national standards, largely because vc liave here a distaste for sustained edu cational effort. "Our aversion to hard work is re flected in the large number of poorly trained and unproductive school and college teachers and the low standards of scholarship permitted. Too few of our students have respect for thoroughness and excellence of study chiefly because the standards of their teachers are low. They can be given increased respect for higher standards only by teachers who themselves do thorough and excellent work. "Distaste of students and teachers for hard work, appears also in our in A C-.nVltir.cc fnr snft nrdaerocv viv-aatvt i invw ....... . anT methodology, These are poor substitutes for the teacher's mastery of the subject matter of instruction and for a sympathetic understanding of those whom he instructs." How earnestly we would plead for that "sympathetic understanding of those whom he instructs !" The teach er who teaches only what he finds, in the text book, and whose methods are the same for all those who sit under his teaching is little more than an echo from the dead past; he should be a living inspiration in the glorious! now. Personality, or the lack of it, plays a more important part in edu cation than all the equipment which money can buy. The teacher with method and nothing else, may sound well as a phonograph and happy be the pupil who hears, even now ' and then, "his master's voice." If we would keep the signals right the teacher must know where he is going. A wrong signal or no signal when there should be one, may be attended with most hazardous results. Let the index finger of those' who teach always point 'to something def inite and positive and permanent.

The walnut tree that stood in the yard is no more. The faithful old spring and the spring-house are still there 1 missed the gourd. There was a shining tin dipper instead. I tried to fancy I was still drinking from the gourd of other days; but it was too great a stretch for even my imigination. , Over the spring bends a big chest nut tree and among its gnarly branch es staggers a grape vine loaded with its own purple clusters. There were more than three hun dred people at the dinner table. They were there from .the ends of, the earth: but most of the faces were young faces; faces flushed with young- life and passion; iaccs m wnicn Kin dled the glow of eternal promise and bouyant hope. Continuing with us from the old days we noted the presence, of Alex Holbrooks, far up . in the nineties, and Bvard Angel who looks very much as he looked fifty years ago, but who is about eighty. Then there was Bragg Higdon, son of his father and prince among men. Columbus Higdon was there from Tackson county, and T. K. Bryson, my first school teacher honored lis with his gracious presence.

Her mother-face was set in a benediction of grey hair and the glow of heaven rested upon her brow ke a sunset on one of our mountain peaks. And there was Pierce Moses, in T-i . 1 appearance a ratnarcn, in memory a wizzard. But time fails me. There were others perhaps whose names we did not get. We were all there and all glad to be there. For the time being we were , all Higdons. The dinner was never surpassed. After more than three hundred hun gry folks had eaten the table seemed undisturbed. It was the greatest single spread we have ever seen. - May. every descendant or the stal wart mountaineer live until we cele brate again the Major's-birthday on Sept. 14, 1931, and may each one strive to be worthy of so good a sire. o ; Aquone Community Shows Much Interest In School The Aquone school opened the first Monday in August with Miss Kate Parrish, of Burningtown, as principal and Miss Annie Laura Shields, of Iotla, as assistant. These teachers have taught , here for the past two years, ine enrollment tnis year - is 64. This shows a large increase over the enrollment last yaer. County Superintendent M. D. Bil lings visited the school early in Aug ust. He observed the crowded con dition of the school and immediately purchased a number of "new desks which have already been delivered to the school. During the latter part of last term a box supper was held at the school house for the benefit of the school. Miss Parrish in whose charge the money was left, gives the following statement for publication, of how the money has . been applied to school needs: -Amount deposited $61.45.

They are desecrating our flag lowering the standards of the white race, instilling insurrection and trea son' in our good negroes. They are poaching the gospel of "red Russia" to the ignorant whites and stirring up dissention among the textile work ers 'and other laborers in the South. Their recent activities in Gastonia, N.

We are sworn to uphold the laws of our- state and country. We do favor sensible legislation and honest govern ment by white people. We are or ganized for the purpose of support ing our government, our constitution, and the laws of the land.

Those of us who have had a chance to know good horses feel inclined to take issue with Mr. Terhune in his contention that dogs are more intelligent than horses.

We must provide work for these people some way or another. 1 They are just the ones the reds and communists are preying on. The reds, take advantage of a man's hunger' to enroll him in their organization and fo preach rebellion to him. MACON INSURANCE AGENCY ROOM 3, Bank of Franklin Bldg R. S. JONES, Mgr.
