There Are Those Who Would
Consider Only Two Big Sub
jects, Others Would Take up
a Number of Both Local and
State Matters Before Session
Commencing Tomorrow.
(By Max Abernethy).

Raleigh, Dec. 5.-Legislators here
today for the opening of the special
session of the 1921 Legislature to-
morrow are divided in their belief as
to whether the session will run the
maximum of 20 days before adjourn
ing.
The governors call. of course, is
for two important things: To pass
properly the state Municipal Finance
act, which the supreme court has
held is now unconstitutional because
of an error made at the regular ses-
sion last January-February, and to
provide for a 100000 deficit in the
States public school fund. Aside from
these two major matters there is
little else that must be attended to
by the lawmakers, although Cover
nor Morrison's newly appointed COM
missioner of revenue, Col. A. D.
Watts, comes up for confirmation by
the Senate. Under the law the Senate
must give consideration to the Watts
confirmation at the special session.
A poll of less than SO members
shows that there is an overwhelming
sentiment for short session, the ma
jority of this number declaring that
in their opinion the finance act should
be made valid and provision made
for paying off the public school de-
ficit after which adjournment should
be at once voted. But on the other
hand there are some members who
islation will require. Many legisla-

PEACE TALK

London, Dec. 5.-The Irish peace
negotiations have broken down ac-
cording to statements in responsible
quarters today and the Dali
Eireann delegates are expected to
return finally to ireland tomorrow
or Wednesday.
The correspondence in connection
with the negotiations will be made
public by the government it was
stated and Lloyd George is expected
to make an explanatory statement.
On the governments side it IS in
vdicated the agreement will be that
the refusal Of the Sim Feinn to make
allegiance to the king made an agree
ment impossible.
The truce still remains in effect,
and no immediate resumption of
hostilities is looked for. The Sim
Feinn it is said refused even a condi-
tional promise of allegiance contin-
gent upon a settlement, the most it
offered being to recognize the king
as the head of the commonwealth of
free nations

ADVANTAGES OF
EDUCATION ARE
NOT ALL. EQUAL

Education Week Has
Opened; Statement by MIR.
Tagart a Feature; Educa-
tional Advantages is Cause
of Drift From Country to
Town Says the Speaker.
SAYS MIR. J. J. TAGAR7

Washington, Dec. 5.-The greatest
need in education in the United
States today is square deal for the
country child John J. Tagart, COM
missioner of education declared today
in a statement issued in connection
with the opening of American Educa-
tion Week.
While no child is denied an educa-
ton said Mr.. Tagart The opportun-
ity is by no means equal"
The average expenditure for the
city child is 59.49 cents against ,23.-
81 cents for the rural child. The ur-
ban schools, he added were opened
1872 days year on an average,
against 142 days for these in the
country and the average city teacher
received a salary of $154.0O against
$147.OO for the rural teacher.
Educational advantages are the
chief reason for the drift from farm
to the city,. he continued adding that
''the same financial support, consoli-
dated schools and good roads, would
solve the difficulty.
