At The Theatres
“The Hollywood Revue” is with
out doubt the most spectacular and
most entertlning, not to say the
most entrancing show ever present
ed at the'Webb theatre. It is a
musical extravaganza, after the
order of "The Gold Diggers of
Broadway," but better even than
that great show. No less than
twenty to the leading Hollywood
players caVort across the screen,
supported by a chorus of some two
hundred Hollywood'* best. T.ie
show packed ’em for the holiday,
and will doubtless continue to fill
the house through today and to
morrow.
The lives of the lads and lassies
who work in the big department
stores of the big city are cleverly
portrayed by Clara Bow and an
interesting supporting cast in the
Paramount picture. "The Saturday

RUllDlN OF
STATE DO NOT HAVE
ADVANTAGES OF CITY
Rural Teachers Do Not Receive As
Mach As City Teachers. Other
Equipment Not Equal.
Raleigh.—The rural school chil
dren of North Carolina are not pro
vided with advantages equal to
those offered city children, nor are
they furnished these 'opportunities
on the same level as the average (or
the United States, according to fig
ures compiled in the office of the
state department of public instruc
tion.
It is learned from that office that
75 per cent of school children in
North Carolina are rural, whereas
for the nation at large 53 per cent
are rural. The rural children of
North Carolina are taught by 74
per cent of the teachers employed,
while for the nation as a whole 58
per cent of the teachers employed
Instruct the 53 per cent rural en
rollment; thus Indicating that the
rural and city average teaching
load In North Carolina is practical
ly identical, whereas for the nation
the rural teaching load is less than
the city load.
The average length of term is 140
days in the rural schools and 179
days in rural schools and 183 days
in city schools.
The average value of school prop
erty per child enrolled is $87 in ru
ral schools and $314 in the city
schools of North Carolina, and lor
I the United States it is $99 in rural
schools and $299 in city schools.
The average annual salary of a
rural teacher is $685 in North Caro
lina and $855 In the United State;.
City teachers receive an average of
$1,132 In this state, whereas city
teachers on an average receive $1,
878 in the nation.
The annual rural per capita cost
per pupil in attendance in this state
is $36.56 and the city cost is $54.88.
In the United States the average
annual cost on this basis is $75.01
in rural schools and $129.82 in city
schools. '

THE VALUE OF
MONEY
THEY are learning fast. Now it the per
iod when their brains receive the meet
lasting impressions.
NOW is the time for them to realize the
valve of money.
LET them earn small sums for the cKores
they do, and encourage them to put tlie
money into the bank—into sayings ac
counts of their Very Own.
WHEN they want little things, let them
pay for them with their own money. This
will discourage extravagance.
AS they grow up they will acquire a reali

Well, Thanksgiving is over and
we hope that none of the read
ers of this column are suffering
from any ill effects of yester
day. Probably some are feeling
pretty bad from eating too much
turkey and dressing. I guess the
editor of this column should be
thankful today he did not hare
any turkey.
Do not forget to put alcohol in
your radiates-. Radiators and
motor blocks are very precious
compared to the price of alcohol.
Have you thought of the fact
