Schooling of Our Children
Wilmington,

Wilmington, August %.
Editor of The Messenger.
Certain conditions exist which must
be met and overcome, IL the children OF
our state are 10 be reached and taught.
Many persons Being untaught them
selves, cannot see the necessity Of their
children being educated. Then some
one who does see h necessity must
lcome in here, and direct. The child
looks to his parents first of all for d.
rection. but as the parent is not cana
bic at his point, another must guide.
IL the parent sees no good in II. the
Child, II left to follow the influence OF
the parent, will see none Then. too.
there are children in the country and

too poor TO attend a public school. They

ed by Inc school committee as being
eligible to school privileges, but no one
sees to 1t that they attend. There must
be q remedy, and in my humble opin-
ion il is this: The state has the power
and authority TO levy and collect taxes
to provide schools. and IL IL can do this.
it can also make a law by which pa

children to the schools SO provided. This
Is the one safe way to reach the chill
dren Of the state. and no doubt the
shortest way.
There should be some one in every
school district, whose duty ft Is To see
that every child is In school, and if it
requires help to place him where he can
attend, let hat help be forthcoming.
These people who are Indifferent, are
the very ozes who must be reached
Those who are interested will largely
take care OF themselves, but this ele-
lment which is being SO sadly neglected
will prove a rnillstone about the neck
OF h state. Mrs. v. L. Pendleton.

rience yesterday morning about 4
O'Clock at Weldon. Tom Groom, Wal
ter Styron. Charley n Jesse Mason,
were working their way from Norfolk
on a fright train and as it was ap-
proching the bridge over the Roanoke
river at Weldon, Styron and Groom

for the station. They were on top OF
a box car and started to climb down
the ladder on the car to get of. 1t
was dark and Styron, who led the way
jumped from the ladder to what he
thought was the ground. Instead lie
went over the fifty-five foot trestle into
the back waters of the river below.
He fell in eight feet of water. and was
badly hurt by striking against the tim
bers of the trestle. He hOuted tc
Groom o to jump, ami as the latter
raised up to get back Oh top of the car
the overhead works of the trestle
struck MIN on the nose, cutting off the
end of it and knocking him senseless
on top of the car. Both made very
narrow escapes The Mason boys We're

most sacred institution on earth and
essential to the Eerpetuity OF this repub-
lie and civilization, its prerogatives
should be guarded with great jealousy;
sixth, the presumption is that men
marry women for affection and not for
convenience, but if the argument car
ries that married women should teach
the logical end would be that married
women who cannot teach should engage
their energies in other commercial pur-
suits, and should this be brought about
the death blow would be struck at sen
timent and martial happiness Many
o,her reasons could be given why mar
ricd women should be kept out Of the
school room. If women desire to be
teachers they should not marry if they
would marry let them not banker after
the teaching profession. 1t needs no
proof to show that a married woman
who would teach j. moved to do 50 for
pecuniary reasons and not ont Of love
for the work, for the scholars or the con
filming hours.
What does the editor Of the Racine
Journal mean when he says There is
something very reppellent in this refus-
ing to allow women teachers who marry
or are married 10 teach?' From the
ordinary mortal'5 point Of view he fails
to observe wherein the repellency comes
in. The Chicago Board Of Education
simply says married women cannot
teach in the city schools that home is
their fi2htful environment

This gives some idea of what has
heen going on The prices are retail.
Each manufacturer quotes different
prices for the same article, but the
above represents fair average perhaps,
for the implements in question. Com
parison in the case Of threshers and
harvester is ont Of question, so great
have been tine changes and sperfectiors
within recent years, to say nothing Of
going back to 1860, when they wer.
hardly known.
Other price changes of interest are
to he noted Portable 1O.hrse-power
engines costing Sl2O0 in 1860, are now
sold for $500 Reapers have fallen from
about $3.50 to $50 in the same. time.
Six foot twiue-b binder haryesters selling
for 1929 i'm $50. are sold for Sl2O now
Heavy wire fencing per mile is now
quoted at %l16, against $500 10 years
ago
Meantime, to be sure there has
been "A marked decline in staple farm
products but in the shrinkage Of price
OF nearly everything the farmer buys,
h. has an offset which nnquestiorably
more than compensates for the loss.
