5 tical Things as Well "
': as Educational
' . ; High Point, June 26.Supeririten
dent Thorn welk Haynes, of the city
schools, hasv proposed to the board Of
trustees a plan for educational effi
ciency. Regretting the tact that our
four city schools, representing a ma
terial investment between $100,000
and $200,000, not only lies idle sev
enteen or eighteen hours out of ev
ery twenty-four, but two days out oi
every week and tour months out oi
every year, which means that out, of
r the year's &.760 hours the school build
ings are used only 560, or less than
fine-fifteenth of the time. Superin
tendent Haynes asks why should not
the people get more returns out of the
thousands of dollars which they .have
invested? Why '. should not High
Point, ' pre-eminently the furniture
manufacturing city of" the south,
teach furniture making and other in
dustrial arts whereby one gains a liv-
best years of boy's life 'be ' taken
and fitted for nothing better .than un
corking dope bottles or serving cold
drinks? Efficiency is the ideal to be
Jtstriven for in this greatest of the
pVorld's ages On every hand we hear
of the efficient lawmakers, an effi
cient president, efficiency in business,
and even efficiency in rellxous work.
but our public schools are wobbling
along at the same old gait made for
them when in their infancy they were
created because the higher institu
tions of learning needed material up
on 'which to feed. In our public
schools the child spends anywhere
from four to ten years and when
through is unable to spell, unable, tf
do r anything in mathematics, knowf
little of history and geography, and
as for making a living, is utterly un
fit. Instead of teaching him- to do
the school has only unsuccesfully
t tried to teach him to know, and af
a result he" "finds a job "tp sell papers
sweep, canvass for a magazine, or
sell a new kind of stove lifter. How
much longer is this smattering of Lai
in and German and French physics tf
continue? "Poor children," says Mr
"Haynes, "no wonder they do not wish
to go to school, and no wonder the
Drigntest oi tnem see tne iaite oi me
whole system, stop schpol and go intc
business where there is a promise
and a man's service, instead of
d waddle and a burial of initiative and
ambition."
When asked how such a system
could be worked out in High Point
he said: "You may know I have tried
to do something along this line, but
have not been successful. I had
" hoped to go, or get some member or
members of the board of trustees to
go to Gary, Indiana, where, is a school
which runs throughout the year and
teachers take their vacations at their
most favorable season. I notice the
Winston-Salem schools , have sent
Superintendent Latham there. I
hope he will come back and have the
Winston board sufficiently behind him
to return to the Winston-Salem peo
ple some part of the thousands of
dollars they have Invested In school
equipment High Point because . d
its peculiar industrial conditions Is
the town which should have done
this, but better perhaps late than
never, and after some other towns
have shown the furniture city how to
do it the people here will fall In line
and follow, a thing which, taowevef,
they are not accustomed to do. 1
y have been before the Pastors' asso
ciation here enlisting their co-operation
and they have heartily respond
ed with words of encouragement; 1
have in public assembly told of what
we should do; I have advocated the
matter in the local newspapers, and
in our city teachers' meetings have
advocated changes which the teach
ers were enthusiastic to see inaugurated.
"In South Main street school the
large auditorium, which seats --nearly
.1,000 could be made into an en
tertainment and library room. In
the rear would be a reading room
with Che daily papers and appropri
ate monthlies, while on the stage at
jflhe other end would be a phonograph
dispensing,, grand opera music, ex
plained sufficiently and at intervals
by a competent teacher. After three
ouarters of an hour of this, whereat
the class would learn sojnethlng ot
. what the world is doing, the pupils
would go to the playground where
under a competent instructor the
body would be properly deve:oped;
then into a recitation room where
mathematics would be taught by a
bank with a cashier and other offi
cers, by a store with clerks where
money would x changed and boois
kept, where would be real yardsticks
pint, quart and bushel measures, the
different weights and corn, peas, cloth
as in. real life. After this the class
' would spend three-quarters of an
" hour In the machine1 shop ot wood
shop.,, Enough . play . .would be inter
spersed ttf lengthen te day .to" flye
o'clock .and, thus keep the pupil off
the streets ' and out ofv drug 'Stores.
At night would be shown in the audi
torium educational moving pictures)
accompanied by appropriate explana
tion, for the benefit of. pupil b and
parents, for who shall say where ed
ucation .-. shall . cease? Our schools
should be for the old as well as the
young. " ' -
This, in: a rough way,- is what we
should have.. Of the present teaching
Der cent or less of which number
avery teacher would -be a specialist,
force it -would require only about 75
Our life should not be developed In
aivldnally or separately, but through
an associated social life. Children
should not be 'forbidden to speak or
whisper, but should he encouraged to
lid one another thus rendering first
aid to - the injured. Much of the
teaching should be done under super-
I vision by mutual assistance of the
UUpila, all Ul iiii.il nuuiu lui ill ci
ideal laboratory of . manners U-juid
character, of helpfulness and culture
of honor, deference, reverence, truth
md chivalry. : " ' .
'Certainly our schools will never
fulfill their destiny or efficiency until
they produce the environment of sim
ple sincerity, quiet games, library
rooms, gymnasiums, swimming pools,
i mother's room for the instruction
in the care of children, folk darling
ilasses, bawling alleys, hand ; ball
30urts, cooking y0 classesj sewing
3lases, musical organizations, athle
ics, men's clubs, lectures and moving
pictures. '
"The school should be the com
nunlty's common meeting place. It
mould be a local- health office for the
nstructlon of all citizens, young and
ld, in subjects of hygiene. It should
ha(ve . permanent art exhibits, civic
heatres, a citizens council chamber
ill for the promotion of a positive
consciousness ot democracy. Until
.liese obtain, the schools are not do
ng what they could and should."
Parents Too Humble.
The municipality of Wiesbaden,
3ermany, has dismissed its police
ihief for the reason that he main
ained relations not responding to the
llgnity of his high position with per
sons belonging to the lowest social
classes.
The lowest social class of . people
vlth whom the luckless official was
vssociatlng happens to be his own
learest relatives.
According to the decree of the mu
nicipal council, a man who comes
from very, humble ortfgin ought to
?top seeing or receiving in his house
lis father and mother unless he pre
ers to run the chance of. losing his
ob for not keeping up the dignity
mposed by his high position.

Cheapening the Rations.
The ova btation has found that h
small amount of oil imeal or cotton
wed meal add to corn and oats' Im
proves and cheapens the ration for
vork horses. A mixture of 77 pounds
jf shelled corn, 15 pounds of oats and
S pounds of oil meal gave somewhat
better results than oil meal, and the
ration was a little cheaper in the
proportion of 79 pounds of corn, 15
pounds of oaots and C pounds of oil
meal.
