C'FRIDAY JANUARY 21, 1927 "WW: 1925 4 school news : BySUPT. O. S.4DILLARD The, present session i of the L Legislature is perhaps con- fronted with a greater, propose (ion than any proceeding one for the past decade--the proh 'l . lem of financing and extending -the length of the public schools and equalizing the tax burden "of the various 5 counties'! or Schools, r The Governor in his message said "Education Is the state's - Irreatest need."- Yet to date he has ' suggested " na great ' n :i-it. iJ r . . measure or remeay mat wm help to meet this need. It is . true that the Budget Commis- sion has recommended to the legislature an increase of One Million Dollars in the equali l1 Ration fund. But after this a j 5 mount has been apportioned to the various counties, it will not t solve the problem of unequal ' ; school.; advantages. ' If1 this :f measure Is enacted into law, tfc A it most nicely win be, tnis fT, 'county should receive, under . the present ratio of apportion ment something like an n fireasejof $15,000.00.' Even . with.-fluch an increase ' it wil not be possible for our school Jrate' to- be materially lowered - as the law provides that this - fund' irom the i. state must be lise4 for the payment jof feeach- h ersV Baianev:1!! since oar ' county's rank is Very low in , f he rating of teachers, a good part of this increase, will neg essarily have to go to the se curing of better trained, teach era, and putting more teachers 'in the schools, because of in- - creased attendance, and more , high schools. All new buildings to-be e e jected and all equipment must ''come from the county taxes. If ,we meet our obligations "to all rhe children of theTcounty we must provide a great deal more than has been provided.

' J - r " ' ' , 't ' The State Educational Com mission has divided upon' the question of the 'eight months school, term. It is 'statedthat five of the Commission favor it and seven are opposed. That is seven are unwilling to say that the State can finance an eight months' term ftt present, Every member, of the commuaion is theoretically in favor of "vthe state-wide term of eight month but they are unwilling to rtak a recommendation for such an act by the legislature; It is said that if 'such an 1 act should : be passed, f that ' it would put too great a burden on the farmer. But not one city man has made the suggestion that the wealth of the city be sent out into the country which has made 'he city, Xwould venture the state-. ment that not one member, of the commission lives in a com' munity where his children can attend school . for only :"six months In the year;( would fur ther WAger that, if , he did that he would; immediately ntove into town or else-vote a special tai'to lengthen the term to at least eight months. HI ii'ArittulIeWVrn published by the State consr vation Department.. In' big head lines, we are told that NORTH CAROLINA " IS . TllBT FIFTH STATE, If this statement'is true, then we are the biggest hypocrites in the" world when we state that. "Education is the State's most pressing , need", and we are unwilling to appor tion more than a little sum 'of $3,000,000 to educate its 800,- 000 children. If this statement lis true that we cannotafford a school term for all the child ren in the State for eight months, then we are the biggest prevaricators in the Xlnion to day, nd will , be - made - the laughing stock of the entire country. 1 ' M' - 1 ' A State that can spend mil- tyll D- R 0 S E' 1 "5-: V ! r'l a., lions of dollars annually :cior the luxuries of life, millions for joy riding in flivers and auto-' mobiles, and moving pictures surely can muster up a little more courage and a little more money and provide better op portunities for more than 200, 000 of its submerged children; Napoleon said that luxuries had broad backs therefore, he ....... .i j - i ;.. ' laid heayy taxes on luxuries to f carry on his world wide wars,' While no one especially likes taxes, I believe that a tax could be provfded on soft ditoka, WjSJJgJpjr baccos, movies, gums, and cos metics that would f urnislrift bundant revenues to adequate - ly finance eight months school term throughout' -the State. The question resolves itself down to this proposition,' while we admit that the eight months school term Is desirable andi needed yet we are unwilling to make the sacrifice (?) to ob tain it. We would rather our future citizens grow up half educated and' half ignorant than to make the effort to give all a chance.

HONOR When President Coolidge and the Hftnnfl nf RenreBentatives stODDed to honor Reuben; Bland for being the champion father of the United states they seemed to have overlooked en tirely the ral hero in . the drama.

Why shouldn't he? One of Louisville's most noted medical practitioners, who has offi ciated at the births of hundreds, of our most prominent citizens, used to boast ironically Of. the proud distinc tion of never having lost a father. In other words; a father has more tnan a good chance of undergoing the or deal or xatnerhood saieiy.-i-r -t scientifle -belief, ran no andne risks 1n the accumulation of a large brood. ThatCongress regarded it as extraor dinary shows that nody w oe suner ijig, from the fmsje complex. , Its members can. get .sentimental on oc casions about motherhood, but when a real opportunity arrives to honor it, they fail even to recognise it. Such a singular perversion of tribule wonld have been unthinkable with the ma jority of Congress composed of wo men. The only way for Congress to correct this sad faux pas is -to vote a pension to Mrs. Bland for unusual and extraordinary service - to her country. -Kentucky: Herald-Post. V. 3.

REECE JUDSON The Death Aneel visited Mr. Judson Reece's home Sunday morning and took from him a loving companion, of whom we all have no doubt but what Ida is in Heaven. She leaves a husband, four chil dren,, father, "two ; brothers, and three sisters and a host of friends and loved ones . to mourn their loss. Her father was Mr. Fulton West, brothers were Mr.' Glover West, Mr. Robert -West,, and sisters, Mrs. Dan Faulkner. Mto. Lealon wild. Miss Mamie West, her children. Richard. Nola, Beulah and Vernon McKinley, a small infant of three weeks and one day old. , . Mr. Reece needs all our nrnvern for hinueU and to help him raise hia little ones for a' better home after this life. We believe that if we could see this mother she wonld be beckon ing her friend to come on to Heaven where they would all be-together for ever. - , Where there would be no tears shed, -no grief, no pain, no heart-ache, no sad partings from our loved ones nor no sad farewells.- But where we will be with oar-friends in Heaven to wear a crown; where we will live for ever in that home where parting is never known, but where there will be shouting through the ceaseless ages ox a nevernaing eternity. .' - '- I hon we. will all be nrenared to see Ida in Hevaen where aU will . be peace and joy forever.- ' . rv to' By one wfae wishes all WelL ' mirrTONIGIIT .IT!- 5. .

Wa she a relative or just a friend of the kindly man who had so much time to give to humble people? Or could it kg that she was a fiancee? McNeill was never married and those at the library who see the bust each day, cannot help but wonder. She's gone but her work goes on. Each year the flowers are put there by the library work ers. So powerful was her influ ence that the librarian, when operated on for appendicitfc four years ago, exclaimed just before lapsing into uncon sciousness, "Oh, this is October 17! -.Don't forget to 'phone the library to place a vase of white roses by the bust of John Charles McNeill.
