State School Bill Will Hurt School Cleveland County (Continued from page one.i cost of operating expenses ol the trolioo’s. This o£ course d<>es not Include the tax levy necessary foi capital outlays or tor indebtedness on building. The only question here ts whether the appropriations to the various counties will be large enough to hold tire current expense tax to thirty cents Without injury to the school system. M.iv Aid Districts. "A special district equalization fund in set up in the bill as an aid to special taxing districts which operate e.ght months schools. I cannot as yet determine how this l;;:rd is to be distributed, neither can I estimate the amounts the various districts may expect. Hot* ever, the intent or the bill is that each district may receive aid in sufficient amount to operate for an eight months term, that is with the aid of funds now collected from lo cal lax. Cause* Concern. ‘‘The second phase of the bill. Hint designed to reduce taxes by perfect ing what is called the economy pro gram. is causing educational au- ! thorities considerable concern. The bill, as it now stands, adds consider ably to the teaching load. I mean j by this that each teacher will be re- , quired to teach a larger number of pupils than under the present law. To lame Teachers. "Many of the teachers in the county now have as many pupils ns can be seated in their respective rooms and more than they can teach. The bill now before the i legislature would reduce the num i her of teachers in many schools and require the remaining teachers to teach all the pupils. Looking over the principals' reports from the van ous schools I find that such schools as Pattcrspn. Earl. Bolling Springs, would lose one teacher, that many of I the three-teacher schools would be i reduced to two and that many of ' the larger schools would lose one ; elementary teacher—this In spite of the fact that fourteen schools this year had such crowded conditions that they asked the county board or education for additional teachers. In most instances these requests were not granted because of insufficient funds. Hit High Schools. “In addition to the above prac tically every high school in the county will lose one high school teacher. This situation would au tomatically remove some of them from the standard list. “By way of summary I submit the following: 1—The equalization fund will probably reduce the county-wide school tax levy. 3—The special equalization fund should aid certain special tax dis tricts which are struggling }o main tain an eight months’ term. 3—The increased teaching load will probably reduce the number, of teachers in several schools to such an extent that the efficiency of the schools system will be impaired. 4.—Some high schools will auto matically be removed from the standard list. "There is a possibility the bill may be amended in minor details, but the essential feature are likely to be retained. I think the bill would be much improved if the leaching load be retained as tinder the present law" Washington News. Only one person has ever claim ed the title of 'President lor a day.” In 1849. when Zachary Taylor eras to have been inaugurated on March 4. he refused to take the oath of office until March 5 as the 4th fell on Sunday. David R. Atchison, lamous sen ator from Missouri for whom the city of Atchison. Kas., was named was president pro-tent of. the senate. Under the Constitution at that time the president pro tem of the senate was entitled to assume the presidency of the Unit ed States should both the presi dency and vice presidency become vacant. Thus Atchison technically became president for 34 hours when Tay lor refused the oath of office on Sunday. The Missouri senator was always careful to note in his biography that he was “president for a day.” Later congress changed the Con stitution to make the presidency pass to the vice president and then the eecretary of state and on to other cabinet officers, should a vacancy occur.

GEHR(G>w ® *>n* Fe*tare» Syndic«tOnr:iCre«t BnUfn right* rwtrnrrd Jy yUlN HALU JT iS interesting to note how the heavy wallopers of the national pastime fare against left and right-handed pitching. Some ot the game’s heftiest •watters make their best progress when they are facing a tiortside flinger, while others rap the apple more consistently when they are being served by a hillman who shoots ’em from his right side. lr Lam Gehrig, the larruping first Hacker of the New York Yankees, had to be oitted against southpaws every day of the sea son, it might he that the famous eel-eater would not finish nearly so high in the batting averages as he does when the portsiders are well spaced with right nandars. Naturally there is more right handed flinging going 6n in the big leagues than there is left-handed. | This may be due to a shortage of! effective southpaws, and perhaps! it's just as well there is that shqrt-1 age. Figuring on last year's rec- - ord( we find that Gehrig hit .402 against the right handers and that1 he averaged .313 points against the ] portsiders. That's approximately' x hundred points difference! | ' •• o'her hand. Wilb> Kamth.i ►inc Csurugo, White Sox third base-4 man, who has quite a reputation as a hitter, seems to like the left- ] handed service belter than he does the righthanders. That is, if we’re to go by last year’s figures, when wc find the hot-corner guardian slapping the pbrtaijdcrs at a .343 clip, whcrea3 against the right handers he hit .200. That’s get ting a little nearer to closeness, hut still there is enough difference to make it noticeable. Then there is the case of Goose Goalin, mighty mace of the Wash ington Senators. Goose seems to take them as they come, and he is, incidentally, fairly successful at coping with either brand of pitch ing. Last year he batted south paw offerings at a .376 clip and the others at .380. That's not varying much more than the width of a baby’s hair. Goslin. you will recall, led the American league hitters home by virtue of a 1-point margin over Heinie Manush. the St. Louis Browns' fence buster. Heinie, too, didn’t seem to vary much when it came to right or left hand service. £y a smalt margin he seemed to favor hitting the port siders, ’a? hi* record shows .388 against that brand and .374 \ Ec-sinst the right-handed ftingers. I A! Simmons, of the Philadelphia Athletics, fared the best against left handed pitching in the Ameri can League. If he could have nicked the right handers as he did the left handers, he might have ; been the batting champion of the younger circuit, for he knocked the left handed offerings for a total of .420, but fell down to .355 when he was hitting against the other breed of delivery. Babe Ruth worked better against the right handers, the fig ures being .331 against .206. Sam Rice also liked the right handed serviee a? the figures show a comparative batting power of .338 agr-inst .317. Jimmy Foxx, of the Athletics, wasn’t so particular, as .336 for the left handers and .324 for the right handers indicate. As stated, the batters didn't have to lace as much southpaw as tight handed flinging, and this, too, may have something to do with the totals. We just note that this story hinges around the A. L.. but we imagine that the same compara tive figures could be dug up in the N\ L. “There’s the.n that likes southpaw pitching amj there’s them what don’t..’’ Hamrick Tells More Facts Of Monazite Hope (Continued from page onr.t you could now buy monazite for two cents per pound. ‘ We also ascertained that there were not as many gas mantles used now as formerly. The Welsbach plant, manufacturing considerably more than half of all the mantles produced in the United States, at the peak of its production manu factured forty million gas mantles per year, while now they arc manu facturing only about seven millions per year. That the Lindsey Light people of Chicago were manufactur ing about seven millions jier year and that independent manufactur ers. some of the plants being located in Gloucester. New Jersey, were manufacturing about seven to ten millions per year. “Monazite is now on the free list and thorium, nitrate and finished gas mantles have an ad valorem duty) of from thirty-five to forty per cent. Notwithstanding this du ty on thorium nitrate and the gas mantles, there were imported into this country from Germany last year nearly a million dozen of gas mantles and 3,307 pounds of thorium and thorium nitrate "When you add the amount of gas mantles manufactured by the Welsbach people, Lindsey Light company and the independent man ufacturers and the amount import ed from Germany you hare a con sumption of about 36 million man tles used in the United States. In addition to the manufacture of mantles we were reliably informed that the General Electric dompany were now using thorium and thor ium nitrate to some extent in the manufacture of certain kinds of electric light globes. It would there fore appear that when this glutted market is absorbed and foreign monazite and the products thereof kept out of this country by proper protection that there will again be demand for monazite and certainly a sufficient demand to keep the mines in this immediate vicinity occupied and receiving a fair price for their sand. "Lets all get together irrespective of politics, political bickerings and propaganda and handle this eco nomical problem for the benefit of the whole community. If. as some say. the monazite and thorium in dustry are dead, what harm can come to fully protecting them? Who is to be hurt thereby and why are some people so interested in at tempting to destroy the interest of the people of this section in secur ing a duty on monazite (saying "it's no use. it can't be done”)?

State Student Does Gardner’s Photo In Cloth State College, Raleigh—One of the most interesting likenesses of Governor O. Max Gardner of North Carolina who is probably the most photographed person in the state today, has been made without his excellency present, the artist hav ing used a plain picture print to do a remarkablr picture in cotton cloth. Thomas Hill Nelson, son of the dean of the N. C. State college tex tile school, undertook the tedious task of putting Governor Gardner's photograph in cotton cloth, the re sult being a good likeness, as shown above. The governor was highly pleased with young Nelson's work. The youth upon completion of his college courses in June, will go to w-ork in the Cleveland Cloth com pany mills at Shelby, of which the governor is president.
