Back in l'.'ilO Gov. Aycook told the
jil ple of North Carolina that if they
would adopt his progt am for public
education they would see the state
blossom like a rose. ' The state did
a Upt his program Since li'OO North
Carolina has invested $100.1100,000 in
the education of her children- Had
Gov. Aycock sugge.-teil to the people
in HHo'that during the next 'A2 years
the state would put this amount into
education they would have believed
that such an investment would have
bankrupt tht. state.
But instead of bankrupting the
state let us see what we have today
in the way of material wealth: In
lttoo th total property value of
North Carolina was only $(181,000,000.
whereas today it is approximately
six billion.
Economists tell us there are three
things that enter into the wealth of a
i-.niiihunitv. a state or a nation. These
three elements are: The Natural Re
sources, Racial Heritage of a People,
and the Mental Training and Devel
onnient. We know that the Natural
ri'niin-es of North Carolina have va
ried onlv slightly since U00. We have
tlu same land which w0 used for
farms the same mineral wealth in our
mountains and the same air and sun
shine that we had thirty years ago
'llieie ha-- been little change in the
laeial hentag,, of our people. We
i. ve always been largely Anglo-Sax-im.
We were just as thrifty and hard
v. i king in 1000 as we are today. So
v. e have today abou' the same char-tei-islns
that we had thirty years ago.
I iv ,ily thing we have changed is
tin mental training of our people,
.wilier.,'' evidently is rospon-ililo for the
in.'u in material wealth, So then.
Imiii tne standpoint of material gain
our' state has made a good investment.

,. , ia'si. in material, .wealth-, So. then.
, . mi the standpoint of material gain
:iie Iiuk inudi! a irood investment.
Here are some nf the causes of the
small cost of the school in 1900:
1. It had poor teachers who were
poorly paid. The average monthly
salary -of teachers in the state as a
whole in 11)00 was less than thirty
dollars. Average training of teachers
was considerably less that high school
graduation.
2. Children went, to school in log
and frame school houses.
,;. i here was little or no equipment.
4. Curriculum was con lined to ten
subject matter fields.
ft. T here were no high schools.
ti. There were practically no school
libraries.
. The- average length of term was
only 70 days.
uver against this let us consider
the cause of increase in cost from
$2.87 per child to S26.00:
1. The average scholarship index
of teachers in North Carolina today
is ll years college work.
9. Mnrlern school 'buildings have
been c.rected not only in cities, but in
hnnH-wU of rnra communii-ies.
;:. More adequate equipment has
has been provided for the teacher and
for the child.

creased to a point, wnere ine cmoueii-
in elementary schools atone last eai j
read more than a million and a half
of books. .
7. We are offering high school in
struction to over fifty times as many
as were getting it in 1900. Th; aver
age annual cost of instruction in high
ci, ols in the nation as a whole is
tnut two and -one-half times that
of the elementary school. North i
Carolina is. not spending quite that;
.nuch. but what we are spending in
creases the cost a great deal. North
Carolina has more than 4.000 trucks',
and is transporting 200,000 children
to school.
The scope- of the new and old
school: The school of l'JOO reached
aiily a small percentage of the total
school population- Kvcn that small
pucentage which was actually en--olled
in school did not attend regu
larly hecausp the ."-chool was not at
tractive and the teacher oftentimes
not skilled in her work. No attempt
was made to follow up children who
re not in school and there was no
rvmpuisory attendance law. When a
. hi'.d had" completed the . elementary
chool he hvi r? further educational

txhools last year. -

the teachers, of course, is the biggest

K.lucation and Crime: At ont. time
during tlov. Cafdner's administration
hero were one hundred boys in the
iS.iite prism for such crimes as
tea'.i'ie automobiles, breaking into
u.-es ami places ot business, ami
minor thefts. Gov. Gardner
wanted to know what contributed to
tneir downfall. He prepared -a ques-tio-mire
and the prison authorities got
' ;o nunilred boys to answer it. Th
Covornor found out most important of
11 was that not a single one of tho
hundreil youths was a high school
graduate.
One ot the most startling bits of
vecotit news is a little announcement
that came not long ago from the Na
tional F.ducation Association.
Someone in the organization did
some figuring, and found out that
while it costs $800 a year to keep a
man in prison, it costs only $100 a
vear to keep a child in school.
Tht. nation spends about a billion
.- i 1 a half a year on its $5000,000
i isoners: it snends onlv two billion
and a he.lf to educate it ,"ti.000,000
school children.
It would he a good thing if that in
formation could be placed before
ev ry American public ollicial who has
nthing to do with school budgets.
It is the most eloquent preachment
against cutting such budgets that
