MAKE IT UNANIMOUS.
All Party Leaders Are Heartily on
Record in Support Of 6-Months'
School Amendment.
To the Editor of The Robesonian:

To the Editor of The Robesonian:
Both State conventions and all
party leaders of North Carolina hay
ing gone so heartily on record In
support of the six months school
amendment to be voted on November
I 5th, the State Department of Educa-
ton in Raleigh aspires to one hun
dred percent in the returns of that
day.
The proposal is the first offered in
the present generation that appears
to have no opposition. And in recelv-
ing the united support of both parties
and all the political captains Of eth
er organization it is in the highest
sense loyalty to the country now at
war and the best sort of preliminary
training for the return of peace.
Nevertheless, the department in
Raleigh is taking no chances on votes
against the school measure as the re-
suit of failure to inform the voters.
It had been determined by both poll
tical parties to DISCUSS this amend
| ment and to urge at the instance Of
President Wilson, ex-President Taft,
| Colonel Roosevelt, our Senator'S and
our officials of State that in no por
ton of the country should there be
any lessening, but rather quicken
! ing our educational interests. But an
epidemic unequalled in North Carolina
before came to destroy political meet
ings and this appeal is made through
publicity agencies. !
/ I The six months term means merely
that North Carolina is to write into
: the Constitution, the organic law, the
I provision for a six months minimum
school term instead Of four as now.
In urging its passage, both political
parties assert their faith in the worth
Of North Carolina children and in the
! worthiness of the citizenship of the
4 State. North Carolina children need
the extra term This term can be
heightened one month in every rural
or urban place by State and county
funds without local special taxes. And
: if adopted it will be the means Of
: making a substantial increase in the
salaries Of teachers, of filling schools
that now are empty because teachers
:. cannot live on the wages paid them
and, better still, of attracting back to
the schools many Of the finest teach
ers who have been driven, by neces-
sity for work that paid them a living
: to go into other occupations.
! The President Of the United States
and two ex-Presidents, the leaders ot
, both parties and the head of ou1
school system can be trusted in their
belief that of all the time of our ma,
tional life the schools are now mosi
needed. The defeat of our amendment
would not merely keep us at stand.
still. It would be a distinct ster
backward at a time that slackerisn

They said to. him, ''Tell US why it is
that you will not play" and he in a

he would not participate in their pas

Mr.. and Mrs. Evander Arnett from
their son in France:
Somewhere in France,
Sept. 5th, 1918.
Dear Papa and Mama:
Now after a long time of hiking
and travelling have now found time
to write you. | am very glad to say
that am well and enjoying life as
we'll as any one could expect. We
have had a long and weary journey
but we have now landed somewhere
in France to rest, guess, if not, that
is what / have been told. We have
been here for the. past few days
and I am feeling much better now
than I did when we arrived here, fol-
! we had been on the road so long un-
til I was completely given out and
was almost sick, but am now feeling
as good as ever. We are staying in
little town for a few days but if
understand it right we wont be here
but short while. But where we are
to go really don't know; but let il
be where it may.
/ want to ask my dear old parents
not to worry about me, for Uncle
Sam is taking care of his boys over
here. Of course that doesn't mea1
that we are all going back. He is Civ
| ing us plenty to eat. So far as my
self, I wouldn't be one bit uneasy il
it was as warm here as it is at deal
old home. Still, we are getting gooc
heavy clothes and we sleep warm, 81
far. I have had an awful cold since
I arrived over here but ! am all tx
the good again.
| I was talking to some boys here
today that have been over here tWelv
months and they say it is not SO bat
over here. So why should worry
Well, ma, have had the pleasure
of looking at some very beautiful
mountains and valleys over here. Dr.
