The Insurance Salesman.

THERE was "A time when life In
surance statesmen sold only
straight" life insurance. The
only proposition they had to offer
was TO pay some one OF your rela-
tives a certain amount OF money
after your death on condition that
you pay the company a certain sum
each year you lived.
Straight life insurance Is still be-
ing sold. II is a duty you owe those
dependent upon you to provide them
some protection against an uncer-
tain future. In this world, however.
we must take human nature as we
find It.: not as II might be or should
be. SO. IL is necessary to state a
somewhat unpleasant fact. Human

Quotes Figures
OF City Schools

The steady. growth of Henderson,

perintendent George w. Bradshaw,
when he quoted some significant sta
tistics of the city's schools.
Mr.. Bradshaw said:
According to the school census of
the city of Hendefs0nville, taken in
June, 1918, there are within the bor-
ders Of our town about 700 white
children OF school age. Allowing loo
for graduates from the high school
and for children in school elsewhere,
we have a staple population OF 600
boys and girls who should attend the
public school regularly for the full
schooF year Of nine months. To this
last number, we must add so to 70
Others who nay be termed a floating
population, but who must, neverthe-
less, be provided for in terms OF
school equipment.
"And what per cent Of the numbers
given are really making a hard, hon
est effort towards being educated,
some one will ask. Such a question
can be answered best by the cold,
hard facts OF the situation.

children in North Carolina between
