DANIELS HEARD I BY LARGE CROWD ON LAST FRIDAY Noted Speaker Brings Stir- ring Address At Educa- tional Conference. j Speaking before an audieticj that almost filled the court room in the new court house last Friday night, Hon. Josephus Daniels delivered the principal address of tae Ivlucational Conferenee which convened here last Friday afternoon. In the course ; of Ms address. Mr. Daniels set forth" the importance of education and placed it above all other essentials necessary to eommun-'ty development. His topic was, "Putting First Things First." He clearly showed that Haywood county had lol lowed what he thought was the most progressive movement any county or state could follow. (Extract from address by Josephus Daniels to the Haywood County Teach er's Association at Waynesville Fri day night. Sept, 2, l'):52). The test of the wisdom of an indi vidual is the relative importance he places upon the calls upon his time and his efforts. Does he waste his ener gies upon comparatively unimportant causes and fail to see the command ing duty to which ha should dedicate his powers? . ' The same measurement is true of a county or other geographical division, Are first things put . first.?' Judged by that unerring yard stick, Haywood County would receive an al most perfect mark in any examina tion. Its record shows that it puts first things ifirst excepting its well known primacy in the religious and political field. Let us cite the order of recent progress in matters of pub lic concern. In their order what makes best for the common welfare and hap piness of a people? As a visitor drives through a county he is sure to judge it by the visible and material evidences of what its people value most highly. Education, Health, Justice and Roads, are the four essentials of modern development. The child in the midst makes the highest claim and the flrst. There fore schools for the children of a county stand next to the temples in which the gospel is preached. A visi tor to Waynesville, Canton and Clyde is impressed by the fact that the most commanding edifice in all three is the public school building or buildings. The same thing! is true' if you leave the urban and go to he rural section. The central structure 'n every, part of the fertile county, whether in the lovely valleys oh mountain sides, is the school house. It 13 the pride of every parent and the, inspiration of every child Equal provision is made (Continued on page S) DEDICATE IN CAPTURE OF NEGRO New Ford Agency Is Established In Waynesville W. T.
