EVERY CHILD IN AMERICAN
is ENTITLED TO EDUCATION
DECLARES PRESIDENT OGDEN

School Improvement league had made
steady advance in improving the condi-
tons of school houses, by means of deco
ration and various betterments, but over
and above ALL the browning benefit to
North Carolina had been found in the
erection of thousands of new school
houses, modern in design and convenient
in equipment. He spoke of several Of
these schools having plots of ground I'M
der cultivation not primarily for educa-
ton, but for profit Crops of cotton and
hay had ben raised and the school term
had been heightened two or more months.
land so from an economic experience the
farming population quickly learns the
value of practical agricultural education
and then the education follows"
Mr.. Ogden said that in South Carolina,
Georgia, Kentucky and Alabama the wo-
mems organizations and work had been
very specially powerful. The conference
for education in Mississippi. he said. had
been organized specially for the promo
tion of the normal school idea. Each
state. however. he said. had its own pc
culiar points of attractive study. He
asked the conference to remember that
what he had said covered a story OF
useful activity, devotion, patriotism and
self-sacrifice that was continually help
ing to make this land a better place for
life and for living
Cheap Education Wasteful
After pointing out that agricultural ed
ucation was closely associated with in
dustrial education, Mr. Ogden said: Ed
ucation is expensive. but there is moth
ing more wasteful than cheap education,
chesply supervised and administered by
ignorance in partnership with neglect.
What greater incongruity than. to demand
a teaching certificate OF the lowest grade
girl teacher in an elementary school, and
vet to fill places in a school board with
political favorites and to create local
superintendents of men who are in per-
feet ignorance Of teaching as a profess
sion?'
In conclusion. Mr.. Ogden maintained the
view that inasmuch as our institutions OF
higher and lower education simply reflect
the popular demand. "our efforts should
be and are directed toward elevating the
demand"

HALF OF TOWN "WET;"
OTHER HALF DRY"

DUNKIRK, Ind, April 13.-This city is
partly in Jay county, which lately voted
dry" and partly in Blackford county,
which lately voted wet in option cleo
tions. Several keepers of saloons in the
Jay county part of the town have an
nounced their intention to apply to the
commissioners of Blackford county for
licenses to open saloons in the wet"
neighborhood.
The temperance forces will fight the
shift on the ground that there is re-
monstrace against the saloons In the
Blackboard county township in which
Dunkirk extends, but the liquor men as
sert that this measure cannot operate
against them because Dunkirk is an in
corporated city and unless they can be
shown to be of bad moral character, the
commissioners must grant licenses to
them.
Another chance is offered to the liquor
dealers in that corner of Delaware coun-
ty which also lies in Dunkirk. An option
election in Delaware county, Of which
Muncie is the county seat, is to be held
on April q.
