This notification says that II the post
Office employees are compelled to

can easily see that it is much more
reasonable to let the assistants have

SUPERINTENDENT JENKINS
REELECTED FOR NEXT YEAR

At the meeting Of the school board
last week, at which the following mem
bers were present: Messrs. J. L. Josey,
G. Hoffman, j. A. I<itchin, A. l.. Pur
rington, R. A. Phillips, and Stuart
Smith, the superintendent of the Graded
Schools of Scotland Neck, Mr. R. D.
jenkins, was elected for another year.
The board passed a resolution that
no cattle be allowed to Craze on the
school campus hereafter.
Another matter Of Importance was
discussed, that being the rapid increase
in attendance n the primary grades,
and it was determined that an addition
al teacher would be necessary in this
department for next year.
The question of adding commercial
course to the High School curriculum,
and also the domestic science course
was discussed at length by the board
and although no definite action was ia
ken at this meeting, it was thought
that one OF these departments will be
added for the year 1917191S, and the
other course the following year.
It is clear that the board is specially
anxious to add features 70 the high
school training that will Fit the young
men and women for their life S work
and they feel that by giving a course
in shorthand, tvpewriting and book
keeping during the last Two OF three
years Of the school life OF the young
men, and, perhaps, the girls also, it
! will equip them for business career.
For the young women it is essential
that they be taught how to sew and
cook, to make their clothes and keep
: their home and this department would
be added at once if the necessary mon
'ev TO meet the increased cost was avail
able.

THE bill is intended to meet those es-
sential and fundamental principles OF
justice which you have so much at

reasonable government indemnity
against the losses and risks incurred in
the discharge of a patriotic duty and
in the performance of an extraordin-

government has called and forced the
citizen. 1t provides not only for the

United States Government Takes
Care of Soldiers and Sailors

WASHINGTON.-It is matter O
Importance to the Red Cross that, a
the instance of Secretary Of the Treas
ury McAdoo, a comprehensive meas
ure providing for the financial assis-
lance OF the families of American SOL
diers and sailors has been introduced
in congress.
What Dawson Says
Henry P Davisan, chairman, on be-
half of the Red Cross war council, re-
Gently authorized the following:
obviously the task of providing for
the financial assistance of the fami-
lies of our soldiers and sailors is SO
large that the government alone can
assume it. In no other way can the
burden be discharged fairly and as a
matter of right rather than charity.
No voluntary organization, or organi-
cations, could adequately cope with a
duty of such magnitude"
Covers Whole Problem
The bill, which was introduced in
both houses of congress represents
very careful study of the whole pro-
blem of possible dependency as a re-
suit of the war and a conscientious
estimate of the governments recog-
milton of its responsibility.
AS drawn, the bill is an amendment
to the act establishing the bureau of
war risk insurance and adds to the
functions of this bureau the admins
tration of family allowances and allot-
ments to dependents, of compensation
for death or disability, and of life in
surance for men in the military or ma
val service.
Scope of the Measure

minimum, however, of SIS monthly, and
a maximum of one-half pay. There is
a scale of allowance determined by the
size of the dependent family, so that
the monthly family allowance ranges
from S. to $50, according to the num-
Der Of dependents.
How the System Works
Secretary McAdoo illustrates the
working of the system in the following
example: "A private gets 1913 month
for service abroad. If he has a wife
and two children he must allot to them
at least SIS out of his pay. The gov
eminent supplements this by giving the
family an allowance of $3.50. This
family's minimum monthly income,
therefore, would be $4750. The father
If there is another child, the govern
ment will allow SIS additional If that
man should have a father or mother
actually dependent upon him, he can
secure an allotment of $40 month
from the government for the parent by
alloting IS more of his pay Thus,
the private with wife, three children,
and mother actually dependent up
on him, by giving 500 out of his $33 |
a month, would get from the govern
ment S47.50 month-giving the fam
lily an income of $3.50, and still leav-
ing the man $13 per month for spend
ing money. If there are more children,
Dr. if there is also a dependent father,
he government would give up to $50
n all, over and above the mans own
allotment"
Get Compound Interest
To instill thrift, to enable man to
uild up fund out of which he can
'ay the insurance premiums, and,
bove all, better to preserve equality
nd democracy among the members of
ur own forces and between them and
he allies, provision is made enabling /,
be war department and the navy de- :
artment, by regulation, to compel
len who do not allot one-half of their I
ay to deposit so much of the half
ay as is not allotted, these deposits
, bear interest at per cent per an
UNI, compounded semi-annually.

Adoo explains the operation of the
proposed legislation.
II realize" says the secretary of the
treasury, that the cost involved in the
PRONUNCIATION of such comprehensive
plan is a most important factor to be
considered. Actuarial estimates were
submitted to me. These estimates were
necessarily of a tentative character,
owing to the fact that it is impossible
to secure accurate data upon which to
base calculations. After careful con-
sideration of these estimates, and af-
ter consultation with Captain S. H.
Wolfe, of the war department, one of
the leading actuaries of the country,
l have reached the conclusion that if
the bill is promptly enacted into law
the total expenditure for the first and
second years will be as follows:
