Subscribers To Times Urged To Renew Subscriptions At Once Thoae Who Are Behind Urged to send Renewal at Once. Un paid Subscriptions Will be Cut Off at Once. ONLY SI.OO NEEDED A number of subscribers to the Times hav<q failed to renew their subscription to the paper and noth ing remains except to use the knife and cut these from the list. It is against tHq rules to carry unpaid subscriptions, and also against the bank balance. For these reasons unpaid subscriptions will be discontinued at once. The publishers urge those who are) behind to renew if possible. The<y do not want to discontinue sending the paper, but it is impos sible to send it if it is in arrears. A one dollar bill will do the trick or a check for a dollar is just as good, but it is urgent that subscrip tions in arreprs be caught up at once. “SANDY” GRAHAM AT E. C. T. C. FRI. Reviewed the Progress That Has Been Made in Schools in Recent Years. Greenville, April 3—Speaking be fore the student body of East Caro lina Teacher’s Collegei here today Sandy Graham, candidate for the Democratic nomination for Gover nor used a quotation from the State Constitution as his theme: “Religion, morality and knowledge being ne cessary in good government and the happiness of mankind, schools and the means of education shall be forever encouraged.” “This brief statement of twenty four words,” said Mr. Graham, “constitutes the corner-stone of pub lic education in North Carolina. From the days just after the Civil war when this declaration was made we have come a long way until the predqnt time when North Carolina is accomplishing a task in public education which no other state in the Union has dared to attempt. Without one cent of tax on farms and homes this State is maintaining an eight months school term, giv ing every child in the SJtate an equal educational opportunity.” Mr. Graham reviewed in detail j the progress which has been made, 1 and the astounding growth in build- ! ings, equipment, number of teach- j ers, and children in attendance. He i then turned to a discussion of class- j room problems. ■ “I have been talking to you so far ! about the physical aspects of our 1 schools; the cost, the size the quan- i tity of teachers, the number of tons ] of coal. I have mentioned the cost ■ of buildings, the number of pupils ! transported; but this is only one ' side of our public schools. The facts ! and figures which I have spoken j to you about so far form the basis i of a public school system which is j unparalled in all the States of the 1 Union. No other State has under- ! taken so ambitious a program as to ' provide from State support an eight month’s school term for every | child of the State without tuition! and without a tax on the farms and j homes. The educational world is turning its eyq towards North Ca rolina, and constantly inquiries are! POULTRY WANTED - EVERY SATURDAY 9:00 A. M. to 1:00 P. M.

Our Constitution says that the purpose of education is for good government and the happiness of ■ mankind. Our people today are mak ■ ing inquiry as to why it is that . 80.000 children iqnter the schools ! each fall and only 27,000 graduate each spring, and of the 27,000 who - graduate only 7,000 enter colleges, i Our people ate) wanting to know > what is the reason that so many [ enter but so few stay all the way through. Our fathers and mothers i are anxious to know why it is that their sons and daughters apparent ! ly lose interest in our schools about . midway of the school years and drop out. And so the question is ; beginning to assert from all sources s in this form: “What is happening in our school i rooms?” “Are our boys and girls being taught to be good citizens and to be happy citizens in accordance with the Constitution? ‘Do our boys and girls make bet ter citizens and are they btetter fit ted to become happier and more useful citizens by having attended our public scrools? “Have we placed too much em phasis on buildings as to number, size and cost, and too little on what is going on in our school rooms? “Is our public school curriculum suited to the nqeds of our boys and girls of today? “Are the fundamentals of read ing, writing and arithmetic soundly taught so that all who leave the schools know how to spell correct ly, rqad intelligently, and to calcu late with accuracy? ‘To you who are in training to become teachers, I leave these ques tions for consideration, believing that you will realize that in the final analysis the success of our public schools, rests upon the class room teacher.” —Ronald B.
