OF EARLY HISTORY

"A daily bath of some kind is an
absolute necessity. The beneficial in

To fully appreciate what part bath

turtles before Christ. We find that
worshipping at the shrine of the God
dess Hygeia was practiced assiduously
and that all cultured nations bathed
daily. chiefly at a period of their his
tory when they fourlshed most. and
that with the decay of civilization and
culture, baths also disappeared.
The practice of bathing has. since
its earliest periods OF history. been
regarded in nearly all countries as
conducive 10 the health and welfare
OF the human race The most ancient
historical accounts as we'll as some
popular myths. make mention of il.
History records the fact that to the
ancient nations. bathing was not mere

high stage of development with the
Sreeks, and later on with the Romans,

are mentioned by the poet Homer,
who tells how his heroes found re-

throughout Greece warm baths were
provided in the houses of the well-to-

by their host with a bath upon their
arrival at the house.
Four centuries before Christ. pub

state in Athens and other cities. con

we're used not as a mere matter of

water for its lighthouses. which had

the middle of the 18th century that
the healthful influence of bathing has
once more been recognized.

an encouraging sign.


In this connection, however,
The Tribune suggests that it is
well to direct the attention OF the
women OF the country to an error
which has grown too common
among the men. That is the err
Tor of creating new bureau or
commission to put into effect
every new or reorganized feature
ot government operation. This
multiplying OF government bu-
reaus and commissions is a CON
stantly growing danger in our
system. Through such develop
ment Congress is delegating
more and more power to authori-
ties outside the established sys-
tenn of administration and execu-
ton. 1t is weakening representa-
tive government through the
shifting OF responsibility
According to the latest figures
reported there are sixteen distinct
departments of government en-
gagged in the building OF roads.
Clearly these departments could
be co-ordinated 10 advantage.
But they ought to be co-ordinated
under some branch OF govern
ment already formed and charged
with definite responsibility.

woMEN IN PuRLIC AFFAIRS

Commenting on the interest

the General Federation Of
Womens Clubs. representing
some two million women in the
United States. which through two
OF its committees. is actively
working for the Townsend bill to
coordinate the roadbullding OF
the government under a federal
highway commission, the Chicago
Tribune says it hopes this inter
est will not lead the women into
the error Of helping to extend our
present bureaucracy.
The Tribune thinks the interest
of the women in roadbuilding is
indicative of interest in other
practical affairs Without going
into the merits Of the Townsend
measure-which incidentally is
being vigorously opposed by Gov
ernor Richie and John NgMack-
all, chayRanlgef the Maryland
State Roads COMMISSIONER is
impressed by the fact that this

To The Editor:

To The Editor:
In one of your issues of last week
your Hobgood correspondent speak:
of the Norfleet School as having con
solidated with the School at Hobgood
s there is no School at Norfleet othel
than a Negro school and never has
been and as it is against the Law foi
whites and blacks to occupy the same
school, I am forced to believe that
where there is nothing to consolidate
there can be no consolidation.
What happened was this: Mr.. Ak
ers agreed to pay the expenses of
operating the School Truck between
here and Hobgood and to give the
Children in this neck of the WOODS,
free schooling at some place, which
they are entitled to. Some Of my
neighbors accepted this proposition
for the present, because they could
not help themselves and as they could
not afford to pay for the upkeep and
operation Of the Truck to Scotland
Neck.
I did not accept the proposition to
send my children to Hobgood, as Z
know it is too far, and can by no
stretch of magination be considered
as being a School within a reasonable
distance
All Of the people now going to
Hobgood live i'll the Scotland Week
School district, and pay their taxes
into Scotland Neck Township.
The River Farm, where I live is the
only farm whose taxes go to Hobgood
In my case, as I understand the law,
the school Tax from this Farm should
go to the Scotland Neck School or
school district.
l refer you to page 81, of Public
School laws Of North Carolina, para
graph 5474, which says, s'the county
board Of education of county is au-
thorized and empowered to change
the boundary lines between local tax
School districts, surban and rural, and
TO consolidate such districts In that
county upon satisfactory evidence
furnished to the board that the con-
venience and best interests of the
residents of the district REQUIRE the
change. A change in boundaries
made under this authority shall not
have the effect Of releasing any tax
payer from the obligation Of paving
his school taxes, but shall only trans
Ter the taxpayer and his property
AIoLH one local TAX district to anOther'
AS three years ago I went before
the Board of education and had This
Farm redistricted, putting it in the
Scotland Neck School district. and
as l have not been before the board
since to ask that they put it in the
Hobgood district, and have no incen-
ton of doing so. I would like to
know why that part Of the taxes paid
by this Farm and set aside by law as
School tax, does not belong to Scot
land Neck School district.
Yours very truly.

FAVORABLE WEEK FOR WHEAT
Kansas IVES Good For What
Coop. Says Review of Local Me-
teOTOlOgist.


Pleasant weather of the near-spring
variety was general over Kansas dur
ing the week just passed, accord ng to
the reports of 100 correspondents of
the weather bureau. The afternoons
were sunShiny as rule, with tempera-
lures from 40 to SO degrees, while the
thermometer scarcely dropped below
freezing of nights. except in the north
west counties There was no measur-
able precipitation. except IN the eX-
IRENE western counties, where a fall of
half an inch to two inches of snow
occurred on the Sth.
1t was a favora BILE week for wheat
which has plenty of moisture IN almost
every part of the state and was bene-
fitted by the mild temperatures and
sunshine. In the western counties it
is still making a slight growth. The
best developed fields of wheat are
furnishing pasture in all parts of the
state and there is plenty of rough feed
for stock. Very few complaints are
received that wheat is being damaged
by alternate freezing and thawing,
tho the ground has been bare in most
parts of the state for some time.
Fields have generally dried out
enough for gathering corn and tn S
work lacks only 5 to 10 per cent of
being completed in most of the impor-
tant corn growing counties. As the
frost was out CT the ground in many
sections, considers BILE progress is be-
ms made in blowing.

COMBINE TO GET LEGISLATION.
Agriculturists and Labor To Work

There will be a combination of the

the organized labor, to get the legisla-

w. E. Freeman.
The labor interests are chiefly in
terested il the revision of the work
mems compensation law, and the
changes which have been suggested by
Goernor Allen do not appeal to them
any more than the present legislation
Freeman says the present industrial
court is not fit to administer the law
and he wants a separate commission
appointed for the purpose. He also
wants the rate of compensation in

haitian Come From Farms

Manhattan, Kan. Jan. 13-Forty-
four per cent. or 1929 of the 2,546
students enrolled in the Kansas State
Agricultural college at the beginning
of the fourth month of the school year
were entirely dependent upon them
selves for support. OF this number
1873 were women. An additional 500
students. 20 of whom were women,
were partially self supporting. making
a total of 1,349 students. or SO per
cent. who earn all or part of their col
lege expenses.
At this rate more than 1900 of the
1000 estimated total enrolment of
the college in the year will be fully
self-supporting students. Most of the
self-supporting students earn enough
during summer partly to tide them
over the school year.
By far the largest proportion of the
Agricultural college students come
from the farm. Out of the 2,546 from
which the data were compiled 977
gave their fathers occupation as farm
ing. Merchant came next with IS, fol-
lowed by 80 bankers 26 travelling

NO ROOM FOR COMMITTEES.
Senate Rules Body Finds the State
House Too Small

One section of the state senate, no
matter how deeply interested in the
conservation of the states funds, will
probably be i'll favor of a building pro-
gram of some sort-and that is the
committee on rules.
The committee on rules met We'd
nesday afternoon to assign committee
rooms to the forty-odd committees
which are to do the heavy work of
the session. When they had finished
doubling committees up in inadequate
committee rooms. and boarding out
others in the offices of the department
to which their activities are related,
the members of the committee on rules
was wishing that the state house had
been doubled in size when it was
built.
The rules committee, appointed
Wednesday morning by Lieutenant
Governor Huffman, started its work
at 2:30 o'clock Wednesday afternoon.
1t was ready to render a report when
the senate convened at o'clock, and
the report, the senate ad-
journed.
In addition to arranging quarters
for the various committees. the rules
committee ratified the action of the
senate caucus of Monday evening.

The work of the American Red Cross
