HOW the Board of Education shall be luanaged-a department which oper- .tes under the states tatures and which is in no way subservtent to uctatiou from this board.
 The Board of Education. as at pres ont constituted, is In entire harmony with the exception of one member. here must naturally be a diversity or opinions regarding some of the larger problems. No formal ballot has, as yet. been taken upon the se lection of an architect by the present board, but I believe that there will ne little or no discension when the time comes for formal action.
 Responsibility On Mayor.
 The public must realize that if there Is no new East Side High school the responsibility rests entirely upon the shoulders of the Mayor and the Board of Aldermen In holding this up they are trying to further their propa ganda to discredit the Board ot Education, and enlist public support for proposed changes to the present charter to try to legislate the present Board out of office and 10 create a hoard appointed by the Mayor. onIy R political organization desirous of strengthening its own power could conceive of such an idea. Naturally, an appointive Board of Education looks most desirous to the politicians. for 1t would place the school system with its hundreds of employees, and incid entally its enormous budget in a splendid position for patronage Even under present conditions. the Alder men try to concern themselves in get ting Democratic painters employed in the schools. and the Mayor. elected by Republicans as well as Democrats for a higher purpose, interests him. self in the appointments of Demo cratic women clerks, and card index girls. to say nothing of assistant am- bulanCe drivers.
 Tt is easy to Aee what would haD- pen if the administration could die ate the personnel of the school sys- 'eTIl. The present system of election provided for in the Challenger bill Is one of the most progressive steps for an efficient school system. The members of the Board of Education. although constantly feeling the impact of politics. are eUdea vorins 10 take theor oath of office seriously and pro- feet the children

Tine controversy over an architect for the new East Side High school originated in the Board of Aldermen Two members of the aldermanic Finance committee who are builders seemed to be very much concerned that a Bridgeport architect should be chosen One of them stated that rhere were faVorS frequently handed out by architects in such project and if such were the case he wanted the Bridgeport contractors to nave n chance at them. Subsequent events in the Board of Education when the matter Of selecting an architect came I'D pointed rather definitely to the fact that only one local architect had any chance of election. and he had been selected despite the fact that he had no special experience or training in school construction The failure to elect this architect seemed 10 peeve inc aldermanic board to the extent of rescinding the bonds. although the pretense is that ''e gentlemen's agree ment'' had been broken. So far as Know there has never been any agreement that only q local architect would be employed, so their excuse is not well founded. Apparently, the Board of Aldermen wishes to dictate

PoLrs VAUDEVILLE THEATRE

The Cosmopolitan production for Paramount, The Pride of a Palo- mar promises to have an suspicious opening at Polfs Vaudeville theatre tomorrow where it will be shown for four days. Manager Saunders promises a feature bill of the finest character to his patrons.
 The fame of Peter B. Kyne's novel of the same name, from which the picture was adapted, is widespread, and this doubtless will win the picture fans The picture was directed by Frank Borzage, the man who created Hum oresque," ''The Valley of Silent Men'' and other noted films for Cos mopolitan Productions, and the cast. featuring Forrest Stanley and Mar Jorie Daw, is of all-star caliber. Jas. Barrow, Joseph Bowling and Warner Gland are some of the other play CTS.
 California is the scene of the ac- tion, which deals with the struggle of a young World War veteran against powerful interests controlling his an cestral estate. Making a tense situa- ton is the fact that in the bitter fight he wages he is arrayed against the father of the girl he loves.
 There is little, if anything. to be desired in the picture" said Manag- CT Saunders. "The author, story. director and cast are of a class such as to assure a big and worthy produe- ton"
 Other hits Sunday will include the Fables Educational comedy and Oh Sunday night only, chapter II of "In the Days of Buffalo Bill"
 Today for the last times will be shown a vaudeville bill of five acts headed by M. Golden's creation. Money is Money" a unique revue with Joe Greenwald and nine artists. The picture portion of the accepta ble program is headed by Charles Ray, in 'Smudge," a First National hit with the universally liked clean cut come dian.

The commonwealth. (Scotland Neck, N.C.) 1896-1929, 1922-02-14
TO COTTON FARMERS

i. We are printing elsewhere IN
this issue a leaflet embody1n9
some vital statistics compiled bF
the Cotton Acreage Committee;
to which we invite the attention
of every merchant and cotton
planter in this section. All OF
the essential facts of the situation
are brought out in this leaflet and
the subject is very conservative
~ treated.
The cotton planters are at the
parting Of the ways. One road
full acreage-leads to positive
and hopeless disaster; the other
road-sman acreage-leads to
quick recovery and financial sol
vency. The future is in the
keeping Of the planters themsei,
yes. Under present conditions
Of supply and consumption, th9
carry over on August LIST next
NAV be five million bales, and
cannot be less than three million
bales. No authority estimates
the consumption Of American cot
ton at more than twelve million
l. I
wear. and the only safe course to
pursue is to reduce acreage to tho
pos .ibilitv Of only eight million
bales for the current year. Last
years acreage turns out to have
been around thirty million acres,
and except for the Weevil iavaS-
tation and adverse weather con-
ditions, q crop Of twelve million
bales would have been possible.
IN which event cotton would have
sold for 10c ID and the South
would have been inevitably bank
rupt
The time has come to turn a
deaf car to sentimentalists. The
South does rot raise cotton for
humanitarian purposes, not with
the object Of clothing Chinese
or what-not, but prim-
arily for the purpose Of making
a living; and there is no more
reason why the South should
produce a surplus Of cotton than
that a cotton mill should produce
a surplus Of goods or bank Of
issue keep out a redundant cur
rency. In the case Of the cotton
mill or the bank, these can cur
tail at will, but in the case Of the
cotton planter, he has only one
time within the year at which 10
curtail, which is the planting
season.
4 man has no more right to COM
NIT economic than physical sui
eide. The cotton planters know
that small crop has a greater
monetary valne than a large crop
and with this fact established
and recognized, failure to reduce
acreage to the point Of the
worlds need for cotton would b.
