The final meeting of county teach ers for this year hejd Saturday at Central school here was considered the most enthusiastic meeting held in two years. Practically every teacher in the county was present. The major point of the entire meeting was tn< .v.r > g endorsement of an eight months school term for rural schools. Other topics discussed included the Pai it-TJp campaign, promotion in grades, stand ardizing elementary schools ah** *h meeting of the North Carolina Educa tional Association. PromnOo-' in Gndes. y Four teachers discussed pormotion in grades and gave some very inform ing facts concerning the promotion of pupils. Mrs. M. A. Jolley in taking up the first grade said that promotion should be based upon knowledge achieved, mental ability to acquire, and in a discussion of each subjef ex plained her method of teaching and leading up the pupil to advanced work. Mrs. F. H. Hunter, handling tuts third grade, followed the same thousrhT but emphaszed the importance of fol lowing the course of study as outln ed by the state and was of the opin ion that all promotion should he b-'-'-d on the outlined course of study. Miss Mary Bradford, fourth grade teacher, added to the other suggestions a beneficial item in that the teacher be fore promotion of the pupil should be familiar with the preceding and suc ceeding grades, so that she might know the requirements of promotion. Stressing the importance of following the course of study, Mrs. Martin Rob erts in handling the sixth grade, put an added emphasis on the teacher be ing familiar with the psychology ofj the child. Her discussion was a psy- , choiogical treatise of promotion in the sixth grade. The four were united i in opinion that the six month school term is too short to complete a grade, i Eight Months School. | Dividing his talk under three heads, | Prof. Lawton Blanton, principal of th? ■ Lattimore school, made clear the ad-1 vantages of an eight mon* hs school I term. Why Cleveland county needs an e*ight months term was explained in the mental tests made by the s^ate university. These tests show that the seventh graders ‘of the rural school are really fourth graders In order to remedy this rating and give, the rural child his rightful chance at an educa tion Mr. Blanton declared the countv must have an eight months term as elementary schools are the foundation of all other education. That it is prac tical to have an eight-month term the speaker portrayed from experience. Where an eight-month term is held in rural districts by dividin'1 the tim" the farmers have been enabled to send thgir children to school and to harvest their crops. “Farmers in communities where it has been tried can assure oth ers as to lift success, :vir. ur.'nton said. That we can afford an eight months school, and cannot afford to do without it, was clearly brought out by the facts and figures not to ba dis puted. Taking an estimate by educrv tional officials that a school child makes $9 each day while in school, it was shown that with 8,000 rural school children in a term increased two months at an approxmate cost of $50, 000 would earn $2,500,000. Endorse Paint-Up Campaign. Along" with their endorsement of a eight-njouth term and consolidation the teachers as a body of fere' their support to the Paint-Up campaign, that wi'l he stressed over the countv this week. O Max Gardner, chairman of the county hoard of agric ulture, < tailed the Paint-up campaign to the teachers and asked their sunnort > j the sign-up work, which is that every district report the number of mum • • and unpainted houses in that district. A prize will be given the district that turns in the largest number of paint ed or newly painted houses by Nov ember 15. Standardizing Schools. Prof. I. C, Griffin, superintendent of Shelby schools, discussed before the teachers the standardization oi elementary schools. After explaining^ why elementary schools should he standard as well as our high schools, Prof. Griffin stated that he was of the opinion that the elementary schools should be standardized through con solidation. With consolidation ir would be possible in the majority of cases to have seven teachers for seven grades, or a teacher for each grade, thus giving the school a standard rat ing. N, A report of the meeting of the North Carolina Educational Associ ation at Raleigh was given by Prof 3. H. Grlgg, principal of the Shelby High School Debaters at Piedmont V» ill Discuss Problem of Ath letics in l’. S. Colleges. The Pi -rian Improvement debate will be held at Piedmont high school next Friday, March 28, according to an announcement by the secretary, Elbert S. Eskridge.

Today, Tuesday, Jackie C ogan, the youthful star, appears in “Long Live the King”,! which is being shown here under the auspices of the Cecelia Music clyb.j This is a special picture and the sale of tickets by Cecelias insures a good attraction. j Wednesday, Lionel Barrymore and and Alma Rubens portray the lead-] ing parts in “Enemies of Women.”, Russia anil the revolution form the spectacular background .for the Gold-; wyn special, written by the author of “The Four Horsemen”. The most ravishing beauty in Europe, war and the gtkidess of chance play stellar roles. A one-day feature for Thursday! only is Elinor Glen’s “Six Days” to gether with Fox News.

Crowder of Lawndale, says he was in Lineolnton Sunday and heard an Indian preacher named A. L. Lockee of Pembroke, this state, who is, conducting a meeting there.

Deputy Sheriff Dixon Locates Four Gallons Under Second Floor of “Stripped Down” Car. In recorder's court last week I. J. Dawson and M. C. Daw.on were charged with receiving, possessing and transporting. Both were given eight months sentences by Judge B. T. Falls, and an appeal was taken by Dawson. A little sleuthing on.the part of Deputy Sheriff Ed Dixon resulted in their capture. According to the officers the two had been suspicioned for some time owing to consistent travel over cer tain roads, and with a search warrant in his possession Deputy Dixon halted the “stripped down" Maxwell car Saturday week ago. The two appeared willing for their car to be searched, the deputy sa d and a search around and through the ■ ar for several min utes proved fruitless. Finally the de puty took a crawl underneath, where he discovered a suspicious second floor, in which he found a can con taining the sought beverage. When the two learned that the hiding place of their cargo was discovered, they informed the officer how to proceed further in the secret floor, where a total of four gallons was found. The county gets the “stripped down.” Jim Robinson, colored, was nabbed with one-half pint in his possession last Thursday, and on the charge of receiving and possessing was given four months. John Blanton, charged with public drunkeness on two counts, was fined $75 and the costs. Burwell Scroggins on the same charge was , found not guilty as was Dan Waters. Minnie Hampton, - aid to be of Ellenboi >, was taxed wdth the costs for public drunk eness. WfflfT COTTfOIL OBLIGATION HELD Attorneys File Application With Fed eral Juddge Webb, Asking That Contract be Carried Out. Attorneys O. Max Gardner and O. M. Mull, representing a number of farmers of two counties, today filed an application with Judge E. Yates Webb, of the United States district court, requesting that the court force the receivers of the Southern Cotton Oil company to car.*^T out the seed ex change obligations alleged to have been made with farmers all over this section. The decision of the court will be of vital interest to farmers all over the South as the ruling in this instance would ordinarily apply to other branches of the company. Exchange Held Up. Following an old custom hundreds of farmers of Cleveland and Ruther ford counties, Messrs. Gardner and Mull allege, have stored their cotton seed with the Souther^ Cotton Oil company under contract of exchange of seed for cotton seed meal to be used for fertilizer purposes. Under an order of the Unitei States court, they say, the mill has been forbidden to carry out the exchange or agree ment with a consequent embarrass ment to many farmers who expect to use their meal as an element of their fertilizer. There has been consider able discussion of-the predicament in which the receivership placed the farmers, ut the filing of the appli cation is the first legal move towards having the alleged obliga tions carried out. The application to Judge Webb sets forth the facts with the request that the court order the receivers of the Southern Cotton Oil company to carry out the company’s obligation to the farmers. Fire Threatens Bank Building Third Time For the third time in the history of! the building fire threatened the Union Bank buiding Sunday afternoon, when smoke was seen emerging from the banking room on the first floor and fire department responded to the alarm. Smoke filled the building and it was fully 30 minute before the small flame was located in the director’s room. Only a small hole was burned through the floor. The damage was therefore slight. It was not even ne cessary for the water to be turned on. A large crowd gathered ready to as sist the fire department in the fight, had the blaze been large enough to re quire the water hose. The origin of the fire has not been deter mind. No fire had been in the Union Bank stove since Saturday, but one of the bark's clerks was seen to enter the bank qn Sunday and it is thought, the fire had its origin from a cigarette carelessly thrown down.
