Dallas Stamey of Altamont, North Caroline, is a boy between ten and twelve years of ape. ' He recently wrote the following letter to the =cc i etary of the Chamber of Commerce of Rocky Mount: "I am one of the twenty-six child ren of the sixth grade of our school. Each pupil has chosen one of the largest towns in North Carolina to study and boost. Rocky Mount is my town and I-w^trt you to please send me ahV piettrres or folders or litera ture-of any kind that will help me to boost Rocky Mount. I want you to help me collect such good informa tion about your town that I can make the other twenty-five towns look like a ivo-.eent piece with a hole punched in it. After quoting this letter, The Manufacturers Record in its current issue remarks: “That boy will evi dently succeed.” But there is’ a trigger lesson than that in the incident. When every young hoy in North Carolina is taught to study his State as Dallas Stamey has begun to study it, Tarhelia will unroll to the scrutiny of the world year by year a record of achievement starred with indescribable splendor. Dallas Stanley’s teacher whoever she may be, has suggested to the other teachers of the state the sure way to build up the commonwealth to ever growing greatness. To give a boy in spiration derived trim his own people and his own surroundings is the kind est and the sibundest of all education al work. It puts ini*> him at the very start of his thinking life the abso lute conviction that he comes from the stock and lives among the things that lead to success in life. ' Nor is thero u better way to ac quaint the boy with opportunity than to show him the resources and advan tages that are wjljhia reach of his arm. This yokes up inspiration with practicality. It dies .away, with all the evils of day-dreaming. It prevents his thinking that at .some later hour in a far clime he ’will grapple with the fatea for prestige. It teaches him that fiere and now he may begin his big game and that throughout his life North Carplina wonders will challenge him to show himself worthy of his ancestors and his surroundings. Teach that lesson to every North Carolina hoy and you recruit and equip for the tomorrow of the Old North State an atony of achievement that will carry th< banners of pro gress to heights ad yet uncharted in the geography of today’s dreams and hopes. The liuliiiK Passion. Old Master tells it: Poor Mammy Jane lay ill in Iter bed, She must have pood food, the doctor said. There came by chance the friend in need. Heard the prescription, said: “Yea W. '! indeed. Mammy must have a nice little chick. Mammy’s grandson must go for one quick, There must not be the least delay— And right here was the dollar to ray” No sooner the lady’s good-bye was said ®* Then Mammy called feebly from her bed: “Here, Boy, come gimme dat dollar, I 'ay— Atjd go get dat chicken—in de natche! way!” -—Martha Young in “Minute Dramas.” (The Paragon Press, Montgomery.)
