cIaxton Speaks at Raleigh.

Raleigh-"Educatio for a New
Era" was the theme of a. powerful adj
dress by Commissioner P. P. Claxton,
Of the United States Department OF
Education, in connection with the
closing exercises fthe Raleigh Public
Schools when diplomas were given to
So students. Mr.. Claxton characterize
ed the World War as a war for world
democracy which is sure to come.
Whether the struggle be long or short
at its close there will be the greatest
demand for trained men and women
for all the avenues Of human endeavor
and America must furnish the great
majority of them for the whole world.
Even now the demand is great as q
world need shown by the first call OF
the Allies on Americans for aid hav'
ing been for 10000 trained engineers
to rebuild their railways and for other
construction work that demands the
most skilled workmen.

Newly set plants should be protect
ed for day or two from the sun, and
the protection should be continued till
it is evident the plants are getting a
hold on the soil and securing supply
of soil water. If this is done, the new
ly set plants will generally live and
thrive afterward.- The only time when
protection Is not needed is when the
setting-out is done just at the begin
ming Of a wet spell, which, Of course,
is a desirable time for transplanting.
One nurseryman says that he trans
plants at any time through the spring
or summer, whenever he can be sure
he is to be favored by three or four
days of rain or mist. However, every
spring in great many plants are lost
by not having protection from the sun
or by not having the protection con-
tinued till the plants can live without
It.

SIMPLICITY IN NEW HOUSES
Great Progress Made In Architecture
in Recent Years With Tendency
Toward HomeIilse Structures.

The present decade OF the twentieth
CENTURY is fortunate period In house
building. Lucky are the people who
build, and lucky are the architects.
Compared with the 1880 period, or the
1890, or even the 1900, the present dis
dples of the T-square are indeed for
tunate, says an authority on home
architecture.
Many people who built Is years ago
would give a great deal If they could
tear down and begin all over again,
and doubtless there are architects who
wish that their twenty-year-old dwell
lngs were like card houses-easy to de-
molish and rebuild.
Great strides have been made in this
country within the past decade in
everything pertaining to house-making.
Surely the number OF beautiful houses
Of moderate cost Sprfnging up all over
the country would turn the rankest
pessimist into an optimfst, so far as
our architectural prosperity is con-
cerned. Whether Of rough cast, half
Hmbered, clapboards, shingles or solid
concrete, these homes express certain
definite principles as truly as if built
Of one material. Whether located East
or West theJ have certain points In
common. Simplicity is a threadbare
word, yet no other has been invented
to take it's place and, in our own lam
guage at least, it has no synonym. Sim
cerity also may be applied. to these
houses. Other terms come to mind,
such as 'lfyable," "homelike" and SAP
prOpriate."
No house is successful unless it is
adapted to the needs of the owner: no
house is successful unless the architect
has used the material best fitted to it's
design. It seems to us that on these
two points the present-day architect is
superior to his predecessors.

SOMETHING FOR ALL TO DO
Effort Being Made TO Use Entire
Student Body In Emergency
Work.

Chapel Hil1.-In order to give great
or directness and purpose to the desire
OF the University students for taking
part in some kind OF productive labor
during the summer months, question
naire has been prepared by DIR. J. b.
Bullitt which will be distributed to
all the students still left here. AS less
than ten per cent OF the entire student
body has enrolled In military training
camps, the other 80 per cent will con.
Germ itself, where possible, with prob
lens Of food production, mechanical
aid, or some other form Of profitable
wartime labor. In recent speech
to the student body, President Graham
impressed upon the students the pa
triotic duty of productive labor during
the summer months. Students under
the conscripion age and those below
the physical requirements for military
service were especially mentioned.
Students of the University OF North
Carolina are just as eager to do their
bit in agricultural and mechanical
labor as in training for the battlefield,
but the University committee feels 1t
would be futile to recommend just
farm work, without bringing about
some coordination between the farms
In need Of labor and the supply, which
may be in part filed by college men.
1t ts the purpose of this question.
naire to provide for the intelligent
placing Of college men where their
labors may be most effective. The
work OF the training camps is only one
OF many features that the University
hopes to assist in. Many students
have already found fields of productive
labor during the summer, and the 9th.
ers will be helped to find such places,
especially those who do not come from
farm homes. Cooperation will be ct.
fected between the University and the
state, county and town councils of ma.
tional defense.
The following information is sought

Quack, Quack, Quack, quacl1." said
Mrs. Green-and-White Duck. She was
called Mrs. Green-and-White for short
always.
Quack, Quack, good morning" said
the other ducks.
Mrs. Green=and-White had just
moved to the duck pond and she want
ed everyone to like her.
do come for pond water this after
noon at four" she said.
Inc ducks were very much pleased
and thought Mrs. Green-and-White
was extremely nice and pleasant.
IF you can't come for pond water
this afternoon, do come for my insect
dinner this evening"
And she spoke of her insect dinner
as If it were a dinner Of creamed
chicken on toast, ice cream and cake.
When the ducks went to Mrs. Green
and-White's afternoon party of pond
water they found her awaiting them
on the bank of the pond looking very
handsome. She Quacked politely and
said. II do hope you will like me as
think this is lovely part of the coun-
try and the pond is so NICE"
Now Mrs. Ducks husband was a
very large creature. He was called
Mr.. Green-and-White Drake, but for
short he had also always been known
as Mr.. Green-and-White.
He was putting on his best feath-
cred top and combing it up. He was
smacking his beak and trying to look
his best.
MY DEAR" he said to Mrs. Duck,

carry my new stick made out of birch

bark that old Mr.. Giant gave me once
or would you carry my little walking
stick of the branch of our favorite tree
in the last pond?"
Mrs. Green-and-White quacked in a
| very annoyed tone.
81 don't see," she snapped, ''that it
| is my place to tell you what sort of a
! stick you are to carry. have enough
to do looking after the social side of
| our lives. I have to keep up the
friendships. have to get to know the
people, have to keep them as
friends. You ask me too much. I am
entirely too busy. And besides 1 can't
be worried in such a way"
Poor Mr.. Green-and-White looked
very sad. He was very fond Of Mrs.
Duck and she was apt to be cross to
him. Every other duck and drake
liked him wherever he went as he was
always quite natural and nice and
friendly. Whereas Mrs. Greenland
White always put on airs and pretend
ed that she was the finest duck that
ever lived.
OF course she did entertain a great
deal as she wanted to be very popular,
but in many ponds she had made her
self very much disliked by the unkind
things she had said.
The ducks at the pond water party
looked at each other in amazement.
She was not so nice as they had
thought at first. They didn't like
ducks to be, nice to some creatures
and to be unkind to their own fam
lily.
Mrs. Green-and-White Quacked most
of the afternoon of her troubles with
Mr.. Greenland White. She told how
little he cared for manners and all
such things which meant so much.
The ducks listened politely, but they
thought quite differently. Manners
were all right-but silly manners and
affectatfon was all wrong they thought.
They left after rather unpleasant
visit. In the evening Mrs. Greenland
White gave her dinner party. And
what did she do but make fun Of her
guests of the afternoon. Some Of her
stories were funny when she was max
ing fun Of Mrs. White Duck who had
such q funny dress on-Quite muddy
and unfit for tea-and she made
herself out to be the finest creature
in all the land.
Most Of them just kept quiet, but
Mrs Brown-and-White Duck, who had
a great deal Of spirit, said,
eff you want to live among us you
must be pleasant"
Mrs. Green-and-White Duck gasped
in SURPRISE! She had never before |
been spoken to in such a way.

White Duck, 1--WE like our families and
we don't respect ducks who are friend |

to talk about our neighbors and more
our friends. So take your /
choice, Mrs. Duck. Either you stay |
and belong to our friendly club where
we must all act natural, or you can
90 somewhere else and talk about your
luck friends. It's too nice pond and
We won't be made unhappy" And
Mrs. Greenland White mended her
Ways and became nice duck.

Adjoining Towns Should Cooperate.

No growing town can afford to stop
planning at its corporate limits, for
just outside those limits streets are
being laid out and buildings erected
contrary to the city's interest. A lit
tie cooperative planning now would
save the spending of vast sums Of
money later to correct the troubles.
All the more is this true where two
or more towns are close together. The
mutual planning of the intervening
area is Of great Importance to each
town. Where they touch each other
it is sheer stupidity for them not to
get together In planning the areas near
their common boundaries.
