Teaching School Holds
Attraction For But Few
A change in t lie present com
munity attitude toward teachers Js
necessary to attract more young
people into t lie teaching profession,
according to college sophomores
answering questions ot the State
Education ( ' mi mi' sion.
About 2t percent of the current
crop ot K'.iMMI Miplminores in all
types ill lolli-gts 111 North Carolina
took pail in the statewide poll.
The luuiiuunilv s attitude toward

young people In !
There is "loo much community
interest in private affairs," one
young woman said.
"Once a woman starts teaching,
she seems to continue it perma
nently." frankly complained an
other. "I want to Met married."
Many students lelt that the com

living quarters fur lis school help.
They also complained ot unsatis
factory .-.unitary facilities in the
school buildings.

ary ot tram $200 to $2400 would
be sufficient to induce them to
teh. Of this group, 456 said they
would not teach for the pesent $1,-

who would start at this figure, how
ever, would feel that they deserved
more money. As one girl put it. "1
am interested in teaching because
I believe the improvement of the
educational system is largely de
pendent on the individual teach

willing to teach at a sacrifice of
money to help accomplish this."
Of the white men, 90ti woul 1 re
fuse to teach for the iw-xiit salary
and only 39 would enter the pro
fession. Most uf them say they can
make more money in private busi

work.
"Insecurity" is one man's reason
for not teaching. He say s a teaching
position is "dependent on the
whims cf the immediate superior."

NEW YORK Modern med may
understand the atom and the
fourth dimension, but he still re
fuses to walk under a ladder or let
a black cat cross bis path.
The most mature minds cling to
childhood superstitions, sometimes
tn fun, often in earnest, says
Claudia de Lys in her new book,
A Treasury of American Supersti
tions" (The Philosophical Library,
N. Y $5).
Having devoted her entire life
I to the study of origins of supersti
tious beliefs throughout the world,
Miss de Lys has assembled her
Ifindings in an impressive and en
tertaining volume which will hold
many surprises for the best informed.
Did you know, for instance,
that the girl who darkens her
lashes with mascara is following
an ancient superstition used by
primitives to ward off the "Evil
Eye"? ,
Did yon know that the wear
ing of earrings was started as an
amulet, to bring good luck and
ward off bad fortune?
How often have you heard some
one say "Keep your fingers cross
ed!" when awaiting the outcome of
a business deal, a horse race, or
an expected bonanza of good luck?
This superstition, one of the most
widespread in modern times, dates
back to the ancient belief that the
sign of the cross brings good for-
If or.
IL lla S(
"-Paid Political AdTrrUfmemt
tune, says Miss de Lyqs.
Many superstitions surround the
subject of romance and weddings,
and the overwhelming preference
for white as a bridal gown may be
traced back to the old verse:
The custom of throwing rice at
a wedding also has ancient origins,
says the author. It is believed to
be a survval of ancient religious
rites of the Hindus and Chinese,
who believed rice to be the sym
bol of fertility.
The word "hncymoon" origin
ated with the ancient Teutons,
amonr whom a newly married
couple used to be given a kind of
honey wine to drink, for a pe
riod of one month or "moon"
.after marriage.
Fashion atso Is affected by folk
lore, says Miss de Lys, pointing out
that the modern custom of wear
ing a triangular scarf over the
head dates back to an ancient style
based on the belief that the tri
angle was a mystic symbol, able to
ward off evil spirits.
The ancients believed the hair
often harbored evil spirits hence
the phrase "He gets in my hair."
Thirteen has' been considered an
unlucky number ever since man
learned the count, except among
the Egyptians, who regarded it as
lucky, the number has been called
"the devil's dozen"
