A very serious mistake was made in the above as to who caught, how many fish. Mr. Bell was the man that A caught 29 instead of Mr. Crawford. Mr. Crawford was the one that was not quite so “Lucky.” PUPIL FAILURES IN OURJ5CHOOLS Year after year veiled tragedies to on in our schools. These are the failures of children tp make their grade. When we once realize 'he moral efect on the child of fail ure to pass to a higher grade, we can understand its seriousness. We know failure in the business world can cripple the fighting spir it of a business man and blight his future. The plight of the discourag ed student is less obvious. That it ;s just as real and just as potent ed ucators are well aware, though par ents mav not be." The Federal Bureau of Education figures indicate that out of 1000 ‘ldren who enter first grade only 311 enter the eighth. Fifty-one (51) or approximately one-sixth of those drop out before entering high school. Out of the 260 entering high school only 107 graduate. Ap nroximatelv half of these enter col lege and only a third finish. It will be seen that educational mortality is strikingly high. Elimi nating the economic factor, it is un questionably true that one of , the chief causes is inability to make the grade. Parents and laymen are prone to lay the blame for this the teacher or on the educational system. They do not perhaps realize that educa tion is two-fold—in the home as well as in the school. The facts heretofore mentioned are familiar to educators and the schools go to Treat lengths to supply the remedy. But without the cooperation of the parent the school is handicapped. We are now approaching the sea son of greatest fatality in school life. Parents who are concerned over their children’s failure are apt to think of it in terms of an extra period of schooling, the monotony of the repetition of work, or as in surious to family pride. They rare ly reckon the effect on the morale of the child or the expense of “re peaters” to the community. Regardless of the cause of fail ure, the fact remains that it is one of the greatest calamaties that can en ter a child’s life. The pupil is dub bed a failure at an impressionable age. The result may be an infer iority complex, hard to throw off. If failure is hard on an adult, it is correspondingly hard on the child. If failure in business results in loss to other member of a community, likewise failure of pupils means loss to the taxpayers. Several factors operate to prevent school failures or to reduce them to a medium. One is the coopera tion of parents and school authori ties. Report cards, whether expres sed in grades, letters, progress charts or any other form that these reports may take, are indicative of the child tendencies. When these reports show close proximity to the danger line, frequent conferences between parent and teacher may save the day for the child as well as the taxpayer.

Ivane Johnson ~nd Dew ey Ledford were visitors in Hayes ville Tuesday. Mr. Tom Herbert has gone to work on the railroad. Mr. J .H. Barlow listed taxes last Picnic on Tusquitte On Wednesday afternoon, May 2, Miss Cochran, one of the teachers in Hayesville High School fulfilled her outstanding promise to the freshman class by taking this stu dent body on an old time picnic. The students had been looking for ward with fond anticipation for some time to this occasion as weath er conditions upset plans time and again. All assembled in town at 3 p. m., and soon were on their way up Tusquitte bound to see for the first time an overhead skidder. Leaving the cars at the Geo. Mostil ler place the thirty-seven happy and gay students bought cross-tie tickets and travelled one mile on the rail road into the Harricane. Mr. Mil ler of Andrews, a kind and congen ial employee of the Andrews Hard wood Company, accompanied the teacher and students to the end of the railroad, where the logs were being pulled in by the strange steam monster, overhead skidder. To see the big logs come skidding in on wires, to hear the signal as the great and powerful machine worked with perfect precision, to see the mam moth pile of loge that had been gathered from over a wide territory, one naturally had to exclaim, “what a boon machinery is lo man ana beast.” But it is sad indeed to any lover of nature to see great scars cut across the breast of nature. The giant oak, towering spruce, laid low. The loom that spins that del icate blue blanket, “azure hue,” wrecked and torn to pieces by the onslaughts of man. As one of the students beheld this desolate scene, he instinctively exclaimed, that he was truly glad that the United States Government was purchasing thou sands of acres, for parks and re serves, and that the cruel ax and saw would never find their way into these primeval forest. About an hour after sundown the thirty-seven appetites struck supper time and the cooks and butlers got busy. In a short time coffee was made, meat broiled on sticks, eggs boiled and one of the best meals was spread beneath the friendly beech trees that stood near. The boys and girls failed to provide enough cups to drink the coffee, so some ingen ious fellow suggested that paste board boxes be used to supply the liquid to their thirsty lips. From the amount some drank, it was very evident that nothing short of a gal lon vessel would have been ade quate. After supper, Mr. and Mrs. Craw ford led the young folks in games and songs. The marshmellow toast Tuesday at Fires Creek school house. Harlie Hicks is much improved after a recent operation. Claud Hicks of Tusquitte, visited his father, T. M. Hicks, Thursday. Born to Mr. and Mrs Ben Carrol on Monday, May 7th a boy. Mr. Harlie Thompson of Down ings Creek was in our community To All True North Carolinians Every day hundreds of careless folks cut down and destroy thou sands of trees, shrubs and flowers along the highways of our state. Little long-leaf pines, Rhoboden dron, Dogwood and many, many others—destroy all kinds of trees and flowers, the most beautiful part of all our beautiful drives. The shafne of this is that all of these soon wither and die. and most are cast aside, to lie withered and brown along the roadsides where a little while before they grew in gorgeous splendor. Help Vs Slop This! Go home and tell your family and your friends and neighbors about this. Tell them of this care less destruction, and tell them that there is a heavy fine for cutting down or digging up these flowers and trees. Get your own family to promise that they will uphold the law protecting trees and flowers. Get your neighbors to promise the same thing. Show your loyalty to your state by helping to protect the living things that give us our scenery. From the mountains to the sea— North Carolina the Beautiful. Let us keep it so. Yours for good citizenship, The Kiwanis Club of Aberdeen. 2 KILLED, 1 HURT IN SUNDAY ACCIDENT B. E. Ledbetter, 40, of Bryson City and J. C.
