Education in North Carolina Appearing this' Christmas season was the final printed report of the State Education commission entitled "Education in North Carolina, Today and Tomorrow." This report is the culmination of two years of study by the educa tion commission which was appointed by Governor R. Gregg Cherry during the 1947 legislature. It is a comprehensive, detailed, and competent study of the school system in our state. It is the basis on which the 1949 legislature will act to improve the crippled public school system. Without it no one could begin, intelligently, to repairing the damage in North Carolina's education field which has been wrougiit by years of neglect. The report, 402 pages, deals wilh the instructional program, secondary education, vocational education, education of exceptional children, pupil personnel and personnel services, teacher educa tion, pupil transportation, school buildings, state educational organization and administration, local school organization and administratis, and most important of all, the financial program for public education. From time to time, summaries of these various phases of the educational commission's report have appeared in THE NEWS TIMES, as they have in all papers throughout the state. A study of this type useless unless it reaches parents, taxpayers, and all of us who are vitally concerned with the educational f?cili ties of our own town and of our stale. When Governor Cherry did not authorize the printing and distribution of the commission's report, it was printed under the sponsorship of the United Forces for Education in North Carolina. The United Forces consist of the North Carolina Congress of Parents and Teachers, the North Carolina State School Hoard association, North Carolina State Grange. North Carolina Education association, the state Farm Bureau, and the North Carolina Federation of Women's clubs. These groups "believe this volume to be a Bill of Rights for North Crrolina children," according to the report's preface. They also believe that the State Education Commission is a people's commission, that the wishes of the people are revealed in its recommendations, and that the people themselves should be throughly informed . . ." For this reason they financed its print ing. H. Grady Rankin, Gastonia, commission chairman, and all 18 members of the commission have done an excellent job. It remains now for the stale legislature to make It possible to follow the way they have mapped out. - - 1 ii i m I iITT r 11 i I i Mm ' mi lfcfcP W TH2 GOOD WORK Thoughts for an open mind.. . The end of all thought should be action. Ceremonies are diflcrent in every country, but true politeness is everywhere the same. It is pride in fashion that puts humility out of countenance. Prosperity tries the human heart with the deepest probe and brings forth the hidden character. Sleep over your problems and you will come to a resolution. Old unpaid obligations are the envious past clutching the throat of the living present. Who would regard all things complacently must think of a great muny. Knowledge humbles the great man, astonishes the common man, and puffs up the little man. Jim Morrill 'jni tir i!i''ii; Ml! )iinnii' )'!( .IV 'Mir Honl' Ill' "Q)aleigh IVund p Lawrence and Mr. D. M.

Mr. John Carraway, of Camp Le jeune, was home for a short time on Saturday. Mr. Oscar Pittman and George Pittman, who are working in Beau fort and Morehead City, spept the weekend at home. ' ; The Woman's Home demonstra tion club of Merrimon met with Mrs. J. M. Stallings on Monday p.m. with six members present. Mrs. Stallings had decorated the living room with Christmas green ery and a beautiful tree. Presents were exchanged.

You frequently hear talk these days of the trouble which the Legislature will give Governor Scott. If this fight does occur, it will be between Scott and the Slate Senate. dch't know where to turn. The fear is upon them. The other day the assistant to a man In a high appointive position got the mail from the post office. In it was a letter to his boss. On the envelope was that ominous name: "W. Kerr Scott." The boss was out of town; and the assistant virtually had nervous prostration before reaching him, for he knew his chief was a goner. As it turned out, the letter was only a little note from the new governor thanking him for a recent favor. ALL RIGHT NOW During 5 - the gubernatorial campaign last . tin, spring, the followers of Kerr Scott ' pooh-poohed Candidate Charles M.

V ; Late in the campaign Charles i -mtf Johnson discussed the possibility ' 'i;v r.O( increasing the number of men ' . ikiU on the State Highway and Public Wvi si' Works Commission to 20 men. The Vrnntm Scott supporters yelled at this, , rrwmi'j saying it was Just an attempt to provide more political jobs. ----- - Last Week Scott discussed the possibility of rsislng the number " of men on the highway commission ' to 30.

STAFF It now looks as if the main staff of the House in the Legislature will be about the same this time as in 1947. Of course, Kerr Craig Ramsey will be speak er. In the Senate, there will not be many new faces among those who handle the machinery with the exception of the man who pre sides. Pat Taylor as the presiding officer is expected to keep the 50 good men and true on a fairly even keel. He can do no better in this respect, however, than L. Y. Ballentine and W. P. Horton. The State Senete, as a rule, is relatively easy group to handle. On the other side of the Capitol storms brew and tempers are fre quently short. If you plan to visit the Legisla ture you will have more fun on the House side, but it Is often said that the representatives more ac- REFERENDUM Although he hasn't been saying much about it lately. Scott promised the people mor.ths ago that he would ask for a State referendum on- liquor. Thousands of votes went to him as the result of this plan in his plstform. So, Scott will be forced to re quest the Legislature to pave the way for this vote. He can do as Clyde R. Hoey, J. M. Broughton, and R. Gregg Cherry did. They merely a6ked for it and pursued the matter no further. Scott says the State needs more money, and he is going 'to be re luctant to see any drop in revenue. Consequently, he may merely re quest the Legislature to do some thing about the liquor problem. If he makes a bettle of it, a referen dum may be forthcoming. Other wise, the present system of control will prevail through his adminis tration. Heretofore, the House of Re presentatives has prevented the state-wide liquor vote through the use of the "gag rule." This ses sion, the House may do an about face, being on the dry side, with the Senate carrying the ball for the continuance of the present ABC system. That's the way it looks at this time. NOTES Marjorle Hunter, crack political reporter for the N&O is resigning from this job . . . will go to Houston, Texas. . . . Bap tists are talking about that fouled ball in the Wake Forest drive to ward the Twin City. . . . You will probably read a great deal about it later, but it now looks as if around $250,000 may be lost in a Texas oil well proprosition. If the news breaks, it will come from Winston-Salem, many of whose good Baptists were pulled in on the idea. D. S. Coltrane, outgoing Agri Culture Commissioner, can be di rector of the Department of Con servation and Development if he wants it . . . But he is afraid of a bad guess four years hence. spent 0CRAC0KE PRECARIOUS Somebody has said that "politics is a precarious livelihood." Scores of appointees in North Carolina now see all too well the bitter truth of that statement. They don't know what they will be doing h Vear from now. Their Christ mases were exceedingly bleak. They fade a year of un certainties. Many of them, through guessing correctly 'in 1932, 1938, '40, and '44, have made fair in comes, have established homes in Raleigh and elsewhere.

Peasants in the region have been asking themselves for years whether they really were in Switzerland or France.
