The Jolt Comes On Pay Day

Taxation increses are inevitable
while people clanor new and ex-
pensive services from govern
lnent. The monumental buildings
new laws, long legislative sessions
the inspection systems, the school
frills, the enforcement of new
regularity and prohibitory laws
all come at a price.
In theory, people do not object
to paying for these things. But
that is only true SO long as the
projects are in the realm of argu-
ment. When the tax bill comes
for the new services, it comes
with sickening jolt. 1t eats into
savings. 1t makes good ventures
look like doubtful ventures. 1t
flattens the family pocketbook.

INSURING BUSINESS SECURITY

Casualty insurance. is an indis-
pensible element in the bushes
and industrial affairs Of the ma
ton. It's relationship to business
and industry is so intimate that
if the relationship were termina-
ted it would have a most disas-
.rous effect. 1t is almost certain
that business and industry could
not long be conducted successfully
without it, !" says lessee S. Phil
lips of New York.
"The tremendous growth of
the casualty business is due in
70 small measure to the intelli-
gent effort, the skill, the foresight
OF the casualty executives. They
have devised methods of remov-
ing the uncertainties created from
business and industry, permit

ance possible in making the sys
tenn more efficient. Attorney
General John R. Saunders also
made brief address, encourag-
ing the superintendent to con-
tinue the battle for better ed
ucational methods and facilities
Approximately 100 superin-
tendents, all men, attended
the conference today. The State
Board of Education, which was
in session yesterday, conferred
with various groups of the sup
erintendents on matters of POI
icy and on individual problems.
Mr.. Hart and Dabney Lam
caster, secretary of the state
board, attended all the superin-
tendents sessions, and will be
with them tomorrow and Sat-
urday in their deliberations,
which are to cover practically
every phase of administration
of the school system. Roanoke

for anything other than the
noble foundation?
1t is a 1ai' question, and a
necessary one. Ihe duty of
citizenship is not a1'duous, al
though plain. 1t implies high
standard C national govern
ment, the choice IF good men
Of stead11st purpose for pub

The TYRANNY OF AMERICA?

Figured on bases of 1918 COM
modify purchasing values, the
American wage-workers' income
has increased from 1923 a year
in 1909, to 1856 in 1926. The ply
steal dollar has had much wider
range; for where the average wa
ge was only S791 in 1909, it was
5000 last year. The name IDOL
lar" however, is not the true
measure what it will buy is the
real determinative value.
Only four times since 1909 has
the actual purchasing value oil
wages fallen even a little below
the preceding year. With these
exceptions there has been a steady
march to better pay--a gain OF
1868, or 44S in buying value.
The great growth OF savings
of new and better homes, of IN.
surance. INDEPENDENTLY ir
industry, the better scale Of liv-
ing--all are financed by this gain
Some say the tariff has nothing
to do with prosperity; that oul
steadfast refusal to adopt public
ownership Of industry is not re-
sponsible for business growth;
that employee and customer pur-
chases of corporate securities is
claiming industrial evil yet tighter
to them. But the facts show that
everybody has gained enorm-
ously under these practices. Men
and women are financially, spirit
ually, physically, politically, more
free than ever before; with more
money in their pockets, more
comforts in their homes.
If this be tyranny, it seems in
viting.

decentralization would have exist
ed. Their task has not been en-
easy one. They have had no well
defined path to follow nor chart
to guide them. 1t WAS their mis-
sion to initiate new coverings and
they produced them. The prom pit
ly provided new forms of indem-
nifty as the exigencies required
them. Business owe them a debt
of gratitude

A Record in Fire Prevention,

Caldwell, Idaho, with 5000 in
habitants, had a fire loss of only
$1,208 last year, or So cents per
capita. The national average is
about $500.
The Caldwell fire chief gener-
ously says that public cooperation
in preventing fires and in sending
in instant alarms when fires do
occur, makes possible this record.
In other words, it is everyman' S
business, and if everyman does Ii
we'll the fires simply 90 not nap
pen. Fire is net unexplalnable,
mysterious; ALWAYS it has trace
able, physical cause as easily
eliminated before as sleuthed up
after the fire..
The American fire loss of $780,
100000 year is mostly prevent
able as the Caldwell fire chief
inferentially says, and as is prov
ed by Caldwell's record.

ESPECIALLY THE FOURTH

The Fourth of July is the an
niversary of the Declaration of
Independence of these United
States. 1t is holiday. The
average citizen and his family
expect to enjoy a "rest," by
motor, by rod and line, by golf
club, by swimming-suit, by pic
nic-basket, by noisy and futile
fire-cracker; some, perchance,
by a good old snooze at home.
The two facts remain; the
Fourth of July is an important
anniversary; it is a holiday.
How would it be for every Am
erican to combine, for as little
as five minutes. those two
facts devote part of the holiday
to thoughtfuly consideration of
the anniversary? =.
DO we commemorate this
Fourth the fathers who were
the heroes of a magnificent e,
vent; or do we celebrate rather
the fruits of their efforts :?
Would the Fourth be the great
day it is if their efforts had
come to naught, or if the Unit
ed States had become less i'm
posing people? The truth is,
we celebrate both; both the fat
hers who founded and the Won
derful thing that has grown
from that foundation. In other
words, we are remembering all
good citizens of that day, and
since that day, who have cont
ributed to the national welfare.
Each Fourth marks a year in
which many useful men and
women have crossed the line;
their memory, too, is enshrined,
or should be, in the celebration,
To bring it nearer home, the
time will come when we, too,
are part of the past for which
the people of the United States
will exult some Fourth of July.
Does the quality of our citizen
ship, our service to the nation,
merit that consideration? Shall
'gc have contributed anything

MINIMUM OF one YEAR
Of College Training Required
Under New Plan.
TO ELIMINATE UNFIT
Hart Outlines Program at
Meeting of County School
superintendent

Norfolk, June %. The State
Beard of Education has inang.
urated program to begin July
l of this year, providing that
by July l, 1881, every teacher
in the standard graded schools
Of the state with a few specia
exceptions, will have to have 9
certificate showing at least one
year of college training.
This policy was outlined to-
day by Harris Hart, superin-
tendent of public instruction, tc
the county superintendent
conference at the opening of its
annual three-day session at
Virginia Beach. The policy al
ready has been adopted in many
Of the cities school systems in
Virginia.
Under this new ruling all tea
cheers in the present school sys-
tenn of the state will have the
privilege of taking a summer
course to fulfill the require
ments that will be effective in
1881, provided they do not al
ready possess the qualifications
specified. Teachers With "a
years service Or more, who
have not required college train
ing but who may be deemed
properly fitted to continue in
struction, may be retained by
the school superintendent
wherever they see fit, the board
ruled.
Specify Summer Work.
Three summer courses of Il
weeks each will be regarded as
equivalent to one years college
training. Beginning this year
those teachers who are not al.
really qualified and who do not
show intention of taking the
summer course, or otherwise
qualifying themselves, will be
eliminated from the school sys-
tenn. This will represent a rad
lcal departure from the former
policy of the school authorities
but is directed toward strength
ing the qualifications of the
teaching staff in the public
schools. The stringent regulat-
ions will not apply, however, in
some of the rural schools which
are not in the standard graded
class.
The program Of studies in tho
small rural schools also was dis
cussed at length by the superin-
tendents with members of the
state board. The unit system
Oft study in the rural schools
where a shorter term than in
the regular graded schools is
conducted, is under considera-
ton by the board.
Discussion of efficiency rat
lngs for teachers, with a view
to its effect on the salary scale
as we'll as to give information
to the state education depart
ment with which it may build
up greater efficiency in the
institutions maintained to pre-
pare teachers, was one of the
lights of the conference today.
Byrd Gives Approval

system and that they could de-

THE BIRTH OF CHRIST.
BY G. G. HARRI-

BY G. G. HARRIE)
Nineteen hundred years ago,
The Savior came to earth;
Born unto the Virgin Mary,
And was Jew by birth.
He took on Himself others woes,
His blood was shed FOR man;
That salvation might be had by
those,
Who obey our Lords commands.
He cleansed the leper from his
sins,
He caused dumb to talk;
He said unto the impotent man,
Pick up thy bed and walk"
He died upon the rugged cross,
Nailed through the hands and
feet;
He was reviled and spat upon,
By those that were indiscreet.
A crown of thorns pressed on His
brow,
A spear thrust in His side;
The sun and moon hid with shame,
For the Son of God had died.
They shouted King of Jews" at
Him,
AS He agonized with pain;
They needed not that He had said,
"In three days, I'll rise again"
They divided isgarments among
themselves,
'They cast lots for His vest;;"
But not a bone was boke in Him,
Before He was laid to rest.
They buried Him in a vault OF
stone,
With a stone it was sealed they
say;
And the third day morn an angel
came,
And rolled the stone away.
The grave gave up it's sainted
dead,
That for three days had been
slain;
When weeping Mary viewed the
grave,
In which our Christ had lain.
But bark! we hear the angels
voice,
woman, why shouldst the u
fear?
The Christ thou seekest after,
Behold He is not here"
go quickly and bear the tidings,
To His disciple. the angel said;
THAT Jesus who was crucified,
Has lisen from the dead"
And as they fastened onward,
Their hearts were filled with
glee;
They met the risen Savior,
On His way to Gallilee.
Where He met up with the breth-
rem,
md salvation's plan was paved;
"The righteous need no repent
ance,
But sinners should be saved"
"But tarry We at Jerusalem,
Until the power shall come
from heaven;
Then preach the gospel freely,
How their sins may be TO, :
given"
This power shall guide you in all
truth,
And the truth shall make you
Free"
And all who gladly accept the
truth,
Shall find sweet rest in me-"
Verify, verify l say unto you,
The time shall come" and now is
"The dead shall hear the voice of
Christ,
And they that hear shall i've"
