NEVER TOO OLD TO LEARN

In recent years North Carolina has been making
marked progress in the education Of its children. Money
and effort are giving every child educational o~pportuni-
ties and benefits.
But there are still places In the mountains where the
number OF adults who can neither read nor write Is ap-
palling. This condition is OF long standing and has ar
rested the development OF those regions. In their H.
Ateracy those people have been slaves of a stperstitious
fear OF change and progress.
The federal bureau Of education began to break in on
this vicious circle OF ignorance nearly a decade aro
House-to-house visiting in the communities where adult
schools were established persuaded some Of the men and
women to try to learn. Now thousands. who 10 wears
ago could not spell their own name. are reading and
writing. It was not the teaching that was difficult. but
incubation OF the desire to learn. After living the greater
part Of their lives in Ignorance. they thought it hopeless
TO try to learn the mysteries OF "larnin."
There are many literata people in other sections Of
the country who can profit by what happened to those
mountaineers once they set to work at their elementary
education. As tremendous changes sweep through MANY
1'elos OF lie, It Is not at all unusual to find people who
reel that 1t Is too late to learn new tricks" to adont
new methods. Discouraged before they have tried. they
continue IN the old rut. Others resolutely strive to BRING
themselves abreast Of the times and their efforts are
usually rewarded with q measure OF success.
one Is never too old to learn. II the inspiration is there.

EGYPT's FAT YEARS
tSt. Paul DispatchD

American consuls In Egypt report that Pharaohs
dream which Joseph interpreted Is being reversed. The
lean years came first and now the fat ones are in sight.
TIE recent agreement between the Egyptian and British
governments for control Of the waters Of the Nile has
made It possible to begin work on 4 program which will
involve the expenditure OF nearly $50 million dollars
in dams. irrigation canals and filtered drinking water
for the entire population.
One dam at Nag Hamadi will irrigatc half a million
acres Of land that have been fruitful only when the Nile
flooded sufficiently to reach 1t. Heightcning and
strengthening five other dams will supply q greater
volume OF water and increase the acreage and production
Of the country. The project to supply altered drinking
water will require ten to fifteen years to complete At q
cost Of 20 million dollars.
Egyptian farmers went into cotton growing very heav-
lily and suffered by the drop In price in 1925. Since then
the government has forced Investigation by restricting
cotton planting to one-third OF the arabic area. Sugar
cane, wheat, rice. and onions show increased produc-
is available.
Thus Egypt. which IN the days Of the Roman empire
was the worlds wheat belt. is returning to its old job
OF feeding the world as the dry and dusty land springs
to LIE under the guided waters Of tho Nile.

THE PRICE OF SERVICE

The late Myron T. Herrick. Americas famous and
well-bcloved ambassador to France, was reported a very
rich man during his lifetime. But when his will was
probated recently it was found that his wealth was not
at all imposing, by modern standards. His estate was
worth little more than a million dollars. and when all
expenses are met will probably net considerably less
than that.
To be sure, that is a good deal Of moncy-but Mr.. Her
rick was richer than that at one time. It is quite prob~
able that the heavy expenses which our ambassadors
must meet out Of their own pockets. coupled with the
fact tina. Mr.. Herricks devotion to his duty kept him
from attending to his private business affairs, consti-
tuted q heavy drain on his fortune.
Which,. Of course. is Just one more indication Of Mr..
Herrickis patriotism and unselfish loyalty to his country.

PESTS
by Alice JudsOn Pealc)

Boys are nothing but a lot Of
pests" says 12-year-old Nancy. Il
wish there weren't any boys at camp.
We could have much more fun with
out them. They are always bothering
US and spelling our games. And
they're perfectly disgusting at the
table. The way they eat! I just
can't bear to look at them. Honestly,
l wish there weren't any boys in the
world
Yes. of course, boys are pests, and
so. according to the boys, are girls.
Maybe you would have more fun this
summer if there weren't any boys
IN the world" I quite understand your
feelings. I felt that way myself once.
Blu. remember the world is made of
boys and girls who have grown up.
and that world is the in which
you must learn to live. You might
as well learn TO get along with boys
right now. Just accept them as a
part Of your education. Pretty Soon
you'll find they're not SO bad and
their taking part in them.
AT a certain stage OF QeVelOpWCnL
boys and girls have little use for each
other. They are mutually scornful
and openly hostile. But this docs not
alter the fact that it is definitely
wholesome and highly educational for
them to be thrown together during at
least a part Of their daily life.
Girls and boys of 18 and 20 will

T.: the experiences they have had of
work and play together during their
earlier years.
Let the boys and girls play together.
They will disagree a good deal and
now and then quarrel, violently. but
in the long run the effect is all to the
good. The mixed play of childhood
is a realistic preparation for the more
complex relationships Of maturity.

WHERE THE n GOES

OF every 500 Of public revenue paid into the United
States treasury the legislative department spends 20
cents, the executive department spends 10 cents. the
independent federal offices spend 81! -. the agricultural
department spends $40. the department OF commerce
spends 10 cents. the department Of interior spends -, the
department OF justice spends 90 cents. the department
Of labor spends 20 cents. the navy department spends
- 50, the war department spends slo10. the treasury
department spends So 10. the District Of Columbia spends
10 cents. subscriptions TO capital stock Of federal inter-
mediate credit banks take 30 cents, the interest on the
public debt consumes 500 20. the premium on the public
deb. consumes 10 cents more and the retirement OF the
public debt cats up the remaining $3.50 Of the 500.
There is little Of significance in these individual items
Of the national budget unless they are placed in COM
parison. A comparison OF the component items is far
from encouraging, for it discloses that so per cent OF the
national revenue Is spent for military preparation and in
paying of The war debt. war Is an expensive game even
in peace time.
