MORAL
PUBLIC O q

The question Of moral. educa-
ton in the public schools is be-
coming vital one in many sec
tions of this and of other COun-
tries. That the American
school can exert a greater in
fluence in promoting higher
ethical standards than it does
at present is the opinion OF
MANY of the thinking men and
women of the nation. Speak
ing on this subject, the Nilwau'
kee News says:
"Recently, a gentle man from
London has been giving a series
of lectures on this subject in
our city. Indeed, he.has been
covering the entire United
States during the past several
months. coming as the repre-
sentative of the Moral Educa-
ion League of London.
He maintains that moral
education, the education of the
heart, has been neglected in
our schools, and that the mind
has been made the subjectls Of
Improvement and that charact-
er has been almost wholly lost
sight of. In a democratic state
especially, he maintains that
this is a national calamity.
"Of course, moral instruction
should be nonsectarian. 1t
should maintain a strict neu-
trality toward all religious
faiths. This, of all things,
would be absolutely required
by the very genius of our insti-
tutions.
1T might not be necessary to
redirect education away from
mere business and intelligence,
but greater emphasis should be
given to moral instruction.
Instructionin abstract notions
of right and wrong, regard for
the feelings of others. for the
feelings of dumb animals, for
reverence to age, these are d
few of the many subjects which
might properly engage the at
tentiOn of teachers. The
Institutional body is now e
quired to be of good moral
character. Would the teaching
of some of the fundamentals of
that requirement be incompati-
bic with the spirit of our insti-
tutions? The belief is strong,
and is surely growing, that it
would not.
The subject has it's dangers.
But they are not considerable.
The instruction can be prop
erlv safeguarded. The religi-
Gus rights and beliefs of no one
need be invaded. And this,
perhaps, is the greatest fear to
be met.
The absence and the need
of character in our public edu-
cation is so apparent, that the
proposition to give some of the
fundamentals of moral instruc-
ton comes to US with peculiar
force and a strong appeal-The
Commoner.

SALARIED OFFICERS.

On Tuesday, December lsf, all the
officers of Halifax county were plac-
ed on salaries instead Of the old
fee system which has been in effect
for many years. 1t is said by many
that this rev system will save the
county several thousands Of dollars,
besides it will doubtless be more sat
isfactory to tthe public servants, :"
since they will draw their pay just
the same as othe r peo1l,
This new system makes it necess-
airy for persons having papers to re-
cord to pay in advance for same.
This applies also to papers placed IN
the hands of the sheriff for service.
The law does not leave the collection
of these fees discretionary with the
officers as heretofore, but requires
them to collect in advance.
The papers to be recorded must
be sent or handed to the clerk OF
the court, accompanied by the prop
err fees, as his certificate must be at
tached to each paper before it can
be recorded. These fees for record
ing these papers are as follows:
For deeds containing 500 words
SIPS, containing 800 words, $1.O5
Deeds of trust and mortgages al

words for each additional hundred o.

American Sympathy in the War

Sentiment throughout the United
States is strongly for the allies, &C
cording to the results of a country
wide canvass conducted by the Lit
erary Digest.
Of 367 replies from editors OF
newspapers to the question, What
is the sentiment regarding the war
in your section?" only twenty re-
piled that it was pro German, while
1O5 repo1 ted a strong sentiment for
the allies. Two hundred and forty
two said that feeling was neutral in
their section, and that where there
was balance it favored the allies,
not against Germany but against
Prussian militarism.
Minnesota, where German-Ameri-
cans predominant, is the only state
where pro German sentiment seems
to rule largely. Throughout New
England the sentiment strongly fav-
ors the allies. The central states
and far Northwestern states are all
in favor of the allies. The replies
cover the country from the Atlantic
to the Pacific and from Mexico to
Canada.
The replies cannot very we'll be
woven into a connected narrative,
says the Literary Digest, but the
reader who scans the summary pre-
sented here will find the country di
vided into large areas where the
feeling is preponderately for one
side or the other, or is so mixed az
to be neutral. Yet the sympathy
, on either side is that of the distant
observer.
Reports of pro-German senti
ment follow pretty closely the geo
graphical distribution Of our Ger
man-American population, but a
the same time number Of editor
report more favorable feeling to
ward Germany now than at tn
start of the war, so both sides cal
exact some comfort from the find
4 ings."
Resentment in some section
' agaist the censorship Of British dis
pat :hes is initiating against tk
allies in some sections, and the inva
sion Of Belgium by the Germans ha
e influenced other districts whic
: would have been neutral.
In collating a resume of the att
tude Of the people as distinct fror
= that Of the newspapers the mag;
zine says:

STREET IMPROVEMENT.

The following from the Raleigh
News and Observer applies so forci-
ably to Scotland Neck and Halifax
county that we rerroGu e it here
for the purpose Of calling attention
to the miserable condition of the
streets in this town. Read it care
fully:
Throughout North Carolina in
the sections where there is the great
est interest in good roads there is to
be found the greatest progress.
that section which neglects the i'm
provement of its roads is missing
the opportunity for development of
the kind which will carry it forward
"And this matter Of good roads
applies to towns and cities as we'll as
to the country generally. Go to any
city or town in North Carolina where
there are to be found improved
streets and the thought comes at
once that it is place that is making
the right kind of progress.
Raleigh has long Jagged behind
in the making of good streets, and
the need for work of this kind was
great. In the recent months the
work which has been done is such as
to make the people realize that Raj
eigh must continue to go forward in
the building Of its streets. This
city, the capital of the State, should
have the bet streets in the State,
and we teel that our people will not
rest content till thissis the case.
The permanent street work which
has been done in Raleigh as the re.
suit of the recent bond issue for
streets makes start in the right di
rection. Those portions of the city
which have been improved are ex
amples of what should be done fol
the rest of the city, and the people
of Raleigh should not rest content
till this city shall become city notee
for its good streets. The authori
ties of Raleigh will make no mistak,
in giving their best efforts to stree
improvement, for money spent il
work of this kind is money wei
spent. The work Of the permanen
kind which is now going on will Civ
to this city the name of a forwar'
locking city, and city which vii
grow. The street work which ha
been done in Raleigh should be push
ed forward and added to, for RAJ
eigh is a city which deserves tn
best"
If any town in North Carolina
woefully derelict in the condition 9
its streets, that town is Scotlan
Neck. A stranger coming here an
seeing the beautiful homes an
splendid business houses would get
good impression of the progressiy
spirit that prevails, but when
views the streets he is struck wit
the Indifference of the people !.
ward one of the most importal
features of an ideal town.

glad to see the town authorities tai
