WANT DEPARTMENT TO BECOME
INTEGRAL PART OF TEACH.
gRs ASSEMBLY.
DISPATCHES FROM RALEIGH
poinos and Happenings That Mark
the Progress Of North Carolina Peo-
pie, Gathered Around the State
Capital.
Raleigh.

Ernest efforts are being made by the
North Carolina Teachers Assembly
which meets In Charlotte Thanksgiv-
ing week, to have a large representa-
ton OF the schools boards Of the State
in order that this department may be
organized as an integral part OF the
teachers assembly
A committee OF the teachers assem-.
bly,, composed OF A. T Allen, d, +.
Giles and +. \. Sans, has written 10
the members OF the school boards OF
the State bringing this matter to their
attention and informing them OF the
plans for the meeting
The letter follows:
The North Carolina Teachers As.
sembly is very anxious that depart
ment OF school boards be organized
as an integral part OF the assembly.
The teachers OF North Carolina have
found the meetings OF the assembly
very helpful In the solution OF their
own peculiar problems, II IL believed
that a similar meeting OF the board
members would be advantageous TO all
the schools OF the State. There are
many vital problems relating TO the
schools that are clearly IN the hands
OF the various boards of the State A
frank discussion Of these problems
and their various solutions might be
the means OF avoiding many costly
mistakes
The welfare Of the schools has sucn
a vital relation TO the economic vel
fare OF the entire State that 1t seems
TO us that the time has come for
boards TO begin 10 get away from the
idea OF local administration OF schools
and begin to look at the schools from
the standpoint OF state-wide-even
nation wide-effOrt
Recognizing this need and the need
for closer relation between the board
and the teaching force. the committee
from the teachers assembly has been
very fortunate In securing the follow
ing gentlemen TO prepare program
for the department OF school boards al
the next meeting OF the assembly In
Charlotte at Thanksgiving: Col A. II.
Boyden, Salisbury, president; Mr.. Geo.
NJ. Rose. Jr., Charlotte president;
Mr.. c. II. ireland, Greensboro, secre-
tsry.
we should like to urge every
school board member-for city or
county--to be present These gen,
tlemen who are getting together the
program will be glad TO hear from you
and TO entertain any suggestion that
you may make.
1T is planned for the school boards
10 meet In joint session with the
county superintendent Thursday
morning and with the city superin-
tendents Thursday afternoon. At the
first OF these meetings Supt p. W.

ated Clubs, after planning for the
work for the next six months, adjourn

concerning the ways in which the

Page, state food administrator, and
the county administrators. Is not to cut
down supplies, but rather utilize what
is now being wased OF the most desir.
able foods that are needed by the SOL
diers abroad. Attention was called to
the substitution OF corn meal for
-four. and the fact re:srred to that
wheat bread was the chief article OF
food In both France and England, and
that II was especially important that
the soldiers have plenty. Substitutes
for meat, sugar and other things were
discussed.
Mrs. McKimmon urged the club wo-
men to adopt the program outlined by
the department at Washington for the
conservation Of food. and referred to
the splendid cooperation the county
demonstrators were giving to the
work. In referring to the work OF the
canning clubs the fact was made
known that over 1000 900 cans Of food
had been put UP this year In the state.
Asheville's community cannery pro
duced 10000 cans Gastonia girls can.

How Americans Were Trapped D.
Teutons.

Washington. the first clash De-
tween American and German troops on
the French front November 3, the
Americans lost three men killed, five
wounded and ~ taken prisoners. Fur
Their than the brief report from Cen
eral Pershing and receipt OF the cas-
ualty list nothing has come through
to indicate just how the small body OF
Americans occupying sector OF
trench on the front line were trapped
~ the Germans and the entire number
piaposed Of Belief here is that the
men were forced into their dugout by
the intense barrage fire preceding the
attack and trapped there by the Ger
man infantry. Those not killed we're
compelled to surrender or accept the
alternative OF being blown 10 pieces
by hand grenades as the Germans had
all the advantage. II is likely in the
opinion OF army officers. that the men
killed and wounded were those left
outside the dug0ut as sentries when
the majority sought protection from
the barrage. This Is the general prac-
tice along the front by both sides. 1,
Is possible that the attackers reached
the trench sooner than expected. and
that the lookouts we're shot down be-
fore they could summon their com
rades from the dugout. In that event
the Germans undoubtedly covered the
entrance TO the shelter and the Amerl'
cans could do aught else but surren.
