Qualifying to Teach.
James E. Hillman, head of
the Bureau of Certification in
the State Department of Educa
fioD, told the student-teachers in
the Neuse Forest Summer School
Tuesday some unpleasant facts
as to the qualifications of the
22,000 teachers in North Caro-
itha.'';"' ^ ^
i9fie« c$ tho ihim^s*” hie
sized was that there are 1,700
teachers in the State who have
not had as much as a high school
period for the entire teaching
force of the State was given at
one and one-half years.
The average beyond the high
school grades for teachers serv
ing the rural schools was said to
be from one-half to one year-
Though the picture thus drawn
of teachers’ qualifications is by
no means# roseate, one is en
heartened by the kuowljdge
that progress has been and is
still being made, and that the
educational standard of tne pub
ic schools is being steadily rais
ed. It is a far cry from the
present status to what it was
when Governor Aycock began to
march at the head of a band of
awakened educational leaders.
To train the young idea how
to shoot is worthy of the best in
man or woman, but to train the
voung idea how to shoot
‘straight” calls for more than
character and natural aptitude to
teach. It demands the best
trained minds a generous State
can provide.—Charlotte Obser

to his son, “1 wish, if you don’t

instead of with the summer

your appetite sets a terrible ex

WILUAM JENNING BRTA DEaD.
William Jennings Bryan died
suddenly in Dayton, Tenn., last
Sunday, July ^tb, aged 65years
while taking an after dinner nap.
Mr. Bryan was three times the
democratic nominee for president
and was Secretary of State in
President Wilson’s cabinet, and
was one of the greatest men this
country has ever produced
Since the close of the Scopes
trial, Mr Bryan had been filling
some speaking dates and doing
some writing before leaving Day
ton, and his great work for the
preservation of the Bible and
Christianity has been brought to
a close, to the deep sorrow of
Chistians the world over.
For many years Satan and his
cohorts have constantly and re
lentlesslv ridiculed Bryan in eve
rv form and fashion, without
rime or reason. Now he is dead
they are joining in a mead of
praise.
Prom every viewpoint Bryan
was one of the greatest and also
the cleanest men who ever lived,
and was the recognized leader of
the fundamentalists.
He was the Great Commoner.
Incidents in his life prove this.
While Mr. Bryan lived near
Lincoln, Neb , bis home was at
Fairview, seven miles from the
city, and a trolly line connects
the places A young Englishman
was a metorman on that line,
arrd the Commoner was often a
pass^-nger, so they became well
acquainted.
When it became known that
Mr. Brvan w’as soon to start on
his first trip around the world,
the young EnglishnfajL^^ .tfi
“Mr. Bri'an, you get to——^—
England, and see my mother,
tell her I am getting along well.”
Mr. Bryan was receiving more
attention from the nobility of all
the countries throutrh which he
had passed than had any other
American, althou 'h he was only
a-private citizen. He was given
a great deal more attention by
the crowned heads of the Old
World than nad been given Gen
eral-President Grant, who had
but recently been victorious in
one of the world’s greatest wars,
and who had just retired from
a second term as president of the
greatest republic on earth, still
when he arriv d in that little
insignificent town, he excused
himself from hie elite company,
hunted up that poor old woman
and delivered the message from
HER boy, and a carefully wrapt
package was brought in Brayan’s
suitcase and delivered to that boy
—a large plum pudding, sent
by that mother to her son. Who
but Brvan would not have been
too busy to have looked up that
poor old woman in her shabby
hut to deliver a message of love
from her son, while the king of
England waited an interview
with America’s greatest states
man; and who but Bryan would
I u g plum pudding thousands
of miles merely to please two
very poor, unknown people?
The roads were badly washed
by the big rain Saturday.
