an my judgment the Democrats have

fishery and helped their father on
the fishing beach. To compensate
them, he gave each a barrel of jack
fish to do what they pleased with.
They offered the fish for sale and

negro made them an offer of a dollar
in cash or two dollars on trust. Bob
took the cash offer; Pat told Bob he
was a fool, and took the trust offer.

Her sons have done great deeds,
and thought great thoughts wher-
ever they have gone. No statesmen
have surpassed them in integrity,
purity and patriotism. No soldiers
have equaIled them in steadfastness,
endurance and fortitude. They were
born North Carolinians and trained
in North Carolina virtues. They
loved the family freside and all that
the family freside means. They still
love it, and, though they dwell now
in cities on plains, they long to go
to the State of their birth, and see
again the people who live as they
lived in their youth; to see again
the Old North State where people
do not grow old before their time;
where youth is buoyant and virile;
manhood is strong and sturdy, and
old age is full of dignity, honor and
self-res.
All hail to the sons of North
Carolina who will come to this our

Parents Should Cooperate with the
Schools.

It would be we'll if all the parents
of boys and girls attending the pub
lie schooIs--and for that matter,
private schools also-would do some
severe and honest thinking and self
examination and analysis at the be-
ginning of the coming school term
and would make some very strong
and definite resolutions and stick to
them. One vice of the public school
system is the temptation it offers
parents to shirk their responsibility
and to unload the whole burden of
management, training and instruc-
ton of children on the public school
system and teachers. The schools
cannot be made effective and can
not do the work they are intended
to do without the cordial cO-opera-
ton and earnest help of the par
ents of the pupils. Parents should
run their families on system and
during the school session should
have a regular study hour, or time,
so much as may be needed, and
should see that it is used faithfully.
A child can be trained to do GER
tain things at certain times until it
becomes a fixed habit and the natural
thing to do. 1t can be taught to
get out it's boks and go to study
as regularly and naturally as it goes
to meals or becomes sleepy at night.
On the other hand, neglect and care
Iessness or a little ~loosening of
watchfulness or discipline will allow
a child to become irregular and I'M
certain even in eating and sleeping.

North Cardinals Contribution to Ameri-
can Citizenship.

North Carolina has given her life
blood most freely to the building up
of other States. To-day 326,O37 ma
tive born North Carolinians reside
in other Commonwealths. She has
contributed to American citizenship
the best that the nation has to show.
In the colonial period her people
stood boldly for liberty, self-govern-
ment, freedom from excessive taxa
ton and official tyranny. In adopt
ing the Constitution she stood for
all the amendments, which were af-
forwards accepted and which now
form the constitutional basis of
liberties.
1t was her sons, Andrew Jackson
and Thomas H. Benton, who wiped
out all traditions and tendencies Of
monarchy and ~aristocracy, and plant
ed deep in American soil the tree of
democracy.
1t was her son, James K. Polk,
who annexed Texas and extended
the American Republic from the At
lantic to the Pacific.
1t was her son, William A. Ora
ham, who opened the doors of Japan
to civilization and thus made a be-
ginning of final settlement of the
Asiatic question.
It was her son, Andrew Johnson,
who had the North Carolina grit to
~jeopardize his great Office, by oppos-
ing the coercive measures of Recon
sructiOn' directed against an inte-
grail part of the Union.
