TO call attention to the fact that
the national defense act provides
for 1900 oficers and $4,000 en-

No, sir. We have not yet complet-
ed the moving of our plant from the
old building, where We have been for
more than twenty years, to our new
quarters under the National hotel. It
is no small job to move even a coun-
try printing plant, and especially one
with big Duplex press.
Through the courtesy of our con-
temporary, The Observer, we are per-
mitted to print this issue, and may be
we will have to call on The Observer
for the Friday paper. The press has
been torn down and the parts moved,
but it has to be put up again. And
that in itself is no small job.
Mr.. Humbert Aull has come home
frim his job in Salisbury to do the
moving, and he has been working
hard since Saturday morning, and is
getting along as we'll as could be ex-
pecteG.
You will observe this is a six col
uAln paper, and that it is day late.
We may be day late again on Fri
day. 1t can't be helped. When we
do get fixed up again we hope the oc-
casion may never arise for us to move
any more. During thirty-fve years
we have never moved voluntarily but
once, and this is the second move of
our own yclition. We moved once
during that period on account of fire
destroying the building which we oc-
cupied. So bear with us. The next
move will be made by some one else.

EDUCATION EDITION

The Herald and News is contem-
plating publishing an edition to en-
phasize Education Week, December
SO. This week has been set aside to
be observed in all the states and all
+ho schools as Education Week, and
is to be fostered by the American
Legion and by the National Educa-
ton association and by all clubs,
and is to be proclaimed by the pres
ident of the United States and the
governors of all the states. A pro-
gram has been suggested which is to
be carried out in all the schools Of the
country. The main purpose is to
make the people see for themselves
the crying need, for better pay for
teachers, for longer school terms and
for better rural schools, and to CEN
ter the attention of the people upon
the needs of our schools.
The following is the schedule that
is proposed oy the United States Bu-
reau of Education: Sunday shall be
observed as God and Country Day;
Monday, Citizenship Day; Tuesday,
Patriotism Day; Wednesday, School
and Teacher Day; Thursday, Illitera-
cy Day; Friday, Equality of Oppor-
tunity Day; Saturday, Physical Edu-
cation Day. More than one hundred
of the outstanding organizations of
the country have been invited to join
in the observance of the week. We
are hoping that the teachers and pa
irons and citizens generally of New
berry county will take part enthusi-
astically in the observance of the
week
We will have more to say about the
education edition Of The Herald and
News, and we are going to get out
this edition for two main reasons, one
of which of course is to make
something out of it, but the main rea-
son is to give impetus to an educa-
tional awakening of the people of the
county, and especially to arouse them
to the needs of the rural schools and
the Importance of giving these chill
dren in the rural communities an
equal opportunity with the children
of more favored communities where
there is plenty Of money to run the
schools for a full term Of nine
months. These children in the rural
districts are soon to be citizens Of the
state, just as the other children are,
and it is from the rural communities
where we must draw the new blood
and the real sinews Of our citizenship
and they are entitled to an equal op
portunity with the other children, if
the state IS to do anything toward
education.
