' Mcintosh Makes Plea For New School System NYA State Director Ad- dressed Codnty" teachers rr. Here In Meeting Saturday "Until the educational system of . this country undergoes some drastic changes, we can continue to expect the large number of per sons on the rolls of Federal aid," said C. E. Mcintosh,' director of co-operativei personal study of the State Department of the National Youth Administration here on Sat urday in addressing the Haywood County teachers. In his talk, Mr. Mcintosh point ed out the fact that the school systems of the country have not kept pace with economic changes and that this accounts for the fact that there are today so many un employed in this country. ; He gave some startling statis tics on the subject, many of them gained from the survey he made last year of the' state, in which eight areas, from all sections of the state were included. The Waynesville school district was among those included. Mr. Mcintosh stressed the fact that the teacher must learn the talents of the pupil and that in this way the much needed guidance program which is destined to rev olutionize education will be start ed. He stated that there are today in North Carolina, 7,000 boys be tween 18 and 25 on the chain gangs. He showed how many of them had stopped school at the age of 14, after which age they are not required by law in North Carolina to continue in schools, and that not finding work, their idle ness led them to crime. He made a strong plea for the needs of education to be put be fore the legislature in its next ses sion, in order that the youth of the state be given a fair chance for the future.
