WORK ON EDUCATION BOARD
IS COMMENDED TO OTHERS
university News Lottery

tOnlV6rS1Ly news L0CL6E.J
The county board of education in
Allegheny has adopted a plan worthy
of emulation by mor of the county
boards. In a recent issue Of the coun-
ty paper they published a full account
of the receipts and expenditures for
the schools of the county for the year.
In addition, the per capita distribution
was shown for the various districts
and an explanation offered as to the
reason for the seeming great differ
ences in apportionment. -
In a third table was shown the pro
press made by the schools of the coun-
|ty for a five year period. Investiga-
ton, suggestion and criticism from
the patrons was asked and a willing
ness shown to place the work of the
county board Of education squarely
before the people of the county.
If there are any folks who should
be willing to have their work investi-
gated and placed before the public 1t
is the various committees who have
charge of public funds. The county
boards of education can well afford to
place their actions in full view of the
public.
The patrons of the schools will ap-
preciate it; and when the time comes
for the school authorities to ask for
more financial aid for public educa-
ton the citizens of the counties who
know what their boards of education
are doing well have an intelligent
basis on which to cast their votes.

HOW TAX MONEY OF THE STATE
IS SPENT; PER CAPITA TAX.
(Uniyersitv News LETTER

university News Letter.
The per capita cost of our State gov
eminent in North Carolina in 1912 was
$1.46. According to a recent bulletin
of the Federal Census Bureau, it was
spent as follows:
Charities, hospitals, and correc-
tiors. 40 cents.
Public education, "A cents.
Interest-on bonds and borrowed
money, 16 cents.
Observation-Disclosures equalizing
fund, etc., 13 cents.
Protection to person and property,
9 cents.
General government expenses, 9 cts.
Miscellaneous and general printing.
insurance, etc., 8 cents.
Public health, and sanitation, 2 cents.
Outlays-new building, improve
ments, ETC., / cent.
Highways-less than half a cent,
Libraries-less than half a cent.
Recreation-less than half a cent.
Total $1.46.
A glance through these items shows
that a single circus ticket costs more
than the per capita expenditure upon
either schools or hospitals.
That a moving picture ticket or two
costs more than the per capita expen-
diture for general government puF-
poses. or the protection OF person and
property.
A single ten cent cigar or plug of to-
bacco costs more than the per capita
expenditure for public health, santa
ton, and highways.

MEXICAN BORDER TROUBLE.

Brownsville, Texas, March Is
Failing in their attempt yesterday to
dislodge the Carranza garrison by rifle
and machine gun fire, Villa forces be-
sieging Matamoros virtually ceased
their attacks today, awaiting, it was
announced, the arrival of artillery
In the event of an artillery duel
Brownsville, directly across the Rio
Grande from Matamoros, would be en-
dangered and tonight n of the gray
est of border crises was feared. Th@
likelihood of shells falling in Browns
Vile was demonstrated by the rifle
br?lc1s which dropped here yesterday
du ii g hc first Villa assault on Mata-
moros u enches, a costly failure OF
Villa forces in which their losses were
officially given as 100 killed and 40
wounded. This attack was a head
strong dash of 1900 mounted rifemen.
The Carranza losses were 10 killed
and 40 injured. Two persons were
by bullets in Brownsville.
Neither was seriously injured.

According to a new bulletin issued by
Clemson Agricultural College it is
good economy to save at many places,
and good economy to spend at others.
Here are ten Economy Plans" sug-
gested by the Clemson authorities:
1. To cut out all Injuries, especial
ly liquors, tobacco, new buggies and
automobiles.
2. To cut out some unnecessaries,
as tea and coffee and meat three times
daily.
3. To save on food for ourselves by
an all-the-year garden, certain easily
possible substitutions and a ration
more carefully balanced to preserve
health and strength.
4. To save on food for u animals
by means of balanced rations as work
ed out by experiment stations, substi-
tutions of cheaper feeds and perman-
nent Bermuda grass-bur clover pas
lures.
5. To save on foods for our plants
by means of winter legumes, summer
1egumes and winter grain and legumes.

little less fashionably, a little more
simply.

NEW NORTH CAROLINA LAWS.
Progressive Farmer.)

80 ~
In addition to the new North Caro-
lima laws mentioned in our issue of
March 20, the following statutes should
be noted:
1. A bill introduced by Representa-
tive Thomas provides that in case OF
sale Of property under mortgage, etc..
a new sale shall be ordered in case the
sale price is increased 5 per cent with
in ten days after the sale. If the
property sells for less than $500, how
ever, it will require a 10 per cent in
crease to secure a new sale.
2. The counties were authorized to
cooperate with Department of Agri-
culture and the A. & M. College in
securing expert cotton graders for
their respective counties.
8. A new forestry law was passed
making s~tricter regulations against
forest fires.
4. An appropriation of $1,000 was
made to enable the state to take ad-
vantage of the Smith-Lever funds in
demonstration and extension work in
agricultural domestic science.
5. To prevent the spread of hog
cholera the price of hog serum was
reduced to about fifteen cents per dose.
A separate section requires that any
hog dying from disease must be bu-
ried two feet under ground within
twelve hours after death.
6. Provision was made for incor-
porporating rural land and loan as.
sociatiOns" On the principle of city
and loan associations.
Z. Where cattle are ordered killed
by the State Board of Health the
ty must reimburse the owners.
8. The county board of education of
any county may extend the age limits
for compulsory school attendance
from twelve years, as it is at present,
&c thirteen or fourteen years as the
board may think best
9. In connection with the new law
for the management of farmers CO.
operative enterprises, the State De-
partment of Agriculture and tbs A. e
N. College are required to appoint 4
capable man as superintendent of CO.
operative Associations and Credit
Unions" In many states efforts to
establish cooperative enterprises have
been virtually fruitless because no
agency was charged with the duty OF
promoting them. The new North Car
DINA act lie an advanced step that other
states will undoubtedly adopt.
TO. Not only was prohibition law 80
amended as to prohibit any person
from receiving more than one quart of
whiskey in any period of fifteen days,
but it was made unlawful for any per-
son to offer whiskey to any minor n
der seventeen years Of age.
IL. Another law of which we heard
nothing during the session of the leg
islature, but which seems to have pass
ed without opposition, requires any
grower offering fruit or vegetables for
sale to write, stamp, or print his name
on the box, barrel or package con-
tanning the product. We expect to
print this law in full next week.

PROF, REED MAKES A RECORD.

university News Letter.

In a recent issue of the Western
Carolina Democrat Mr.. r. A. Reed pub
fishes a table showing the number of
repeaters, or retarded pupils, ia his
chool and frankly discusses the causes
therefor.
He concludes. very justly, that alb
sence from school, for whatever rea-
son, is the father Of this condition and
he calls on the parents to cooperate
with him in preventing a growth of
such conditions.
Moreover, he points out that the ul-
innate end Of SUCH a condition is elm
ination Of the repeaters from school.
In other words the boys and girls are
not getting full value OF the education
provided by the State. This is the
very lamentable and inevitably result

READING E A SUCCESS.

An hour with a book would have

The secret that took him a whole year
to find.
The facts that he learned at enormous
expense
We're all on a library shelf to conf
mence;
Alas for our hero; too busy to read,
He was too busy, it proved to succeed.
We may win without credit of backing
or style,
We may win without energy, skill or
a smile,
WITHOUT patience of aptitude, purpose
or wit
We may even succeed If we're lacking
in grit.
But take it from me as a mighty safe
A civilized man cannot win without

everywhere.
This is the first tire we have seen
such facts published n any paper IN
North Carolina. It is a move in the
right direction. The folks who pay
the taxes and send their children to
school have a right to know to what
extent their money is being wisely
used and to know why better results
are nC: obtained.
BY the way, Mr.. Reeds figures show
that conditions in his school are not as
bad as in the United States as a whole.
though they are bad enough.
