The craze for the hand crocheted
blouse has spread to include street,
sports and informal afteroonn cos
tunes. AS it is getting bit late for
wool, a number of the Paris houses are
making these blouses in merceriZed
crochet for wear under the newer
suits. Schiapareli and other Paris
designers are sponsoring them in
sleeveless and cape versions, some lit
tie more than gilet, perfectly plain
except, perhaps, tiny bow at the
neckline, or with the round neckline
built somewhat high and unornament-
ed, or with cowl neckline, as illus
trated. This cowl neckline appears
to be the latest, and very soft,
charming effect il gives when worn
under the open jacket. These hand
crocheted sweaters or blouses are SO
easy TO do. women everywhere are
making them. They are lovely In pas
tel tones or In white.

WILL HAVE FOOD If LITTLE
MONEY

The concerted afort made this
summer by home demonstration club
women and home agents will assure
the vast majority of rural people in
North Carolina a supply of canned
food this winter even though the a
mount of cash may be little.
VAs a result of the planned cam
paign for canning put on by the
home demonstration club members of
North Carolina last year, there were
100000 containers filled by farm
women" says Miss Pauline Smith, dis
trict home agent of the State College
Extension Service. Sat a conservative
estimate, the value of this material
amounted to $638,013.4o. This prov
ed that a penny saved is a penny earn
ed. This year, the greatest concerted
effort for canning since the World
War has been put on in this State.
Many are travelling via the garden
canning route. Every dollar of the
family living that comes from the
garden and orchard is just so much
added to the family income and leaves
the actual cash for other things. Can
ming has become a bread and butter
necessity in thousands of homes"

UNIDENTIFIED ANIMAL
ATTACKS MARION MAN

The night prowling dog killer
that has been te~rrorizing this COM
munity for several weeks attacked
two men in the woods near Marion
recently and ripped the coat off one
of them as he leaped over a fence in
making his escape.
Both men, Wade eSnipes and Shir-
ley Flowers, got safely to the for
mer's house after understanding the
animal. Aiming themselves with
guns, they got Clarence POOLS pack
of bear dogs and tried to trail it,
but after shifting around its tracks,
the dogs whimpered and would not
give chase.
The men said that while cutting
wood an animal about half as big as
a calf, like a panther in appearance
and about even feet long. came
along at an easy lope. They saw it
before it discovered them and made
a dash for safety. 1t took after them,
but was hindered by the fence, over
which the men were jumping when
it clawed Flowers coat off. When
they got to the house and looked a
round it had disappeared and has not
been seen since.
A week ago a similar animal rush
ed at a car in which a man and two
women were, sitting, but was unable
to reach them, as the driver stepped
on the gas as soon as he saw it.
Since then no one had seen it a.
round this vicinity, but reports had
been circulated that now and then
more dogs would be found dead with
their threats slashed. A large num-
Der Of dogs have been killed by some
vicious animal around here laterly
and it is thought that the varmint is
the same which has attacked Snipes
and Flowers.

The First Town

1 ne lHSL 1O~H
The oldest town in the State, Bath,
was begun in 1905. In 1909 it had
twelve houses but no church. Saint
Thomas's Church, the oldest church
building now standing in the State
was built some years later. Other old
towns are New Bern, Edenton, Beau
fort, Brunswick and Newtown, now
Wilmington.
First Schools
"As far as our records show, the
first school in North Carolina was
opened in 1905. In that year Charles
Griffin, a teacher by training, arrived
from the West Indies, and opened a
church school in Pasquotank precinct.
In o1712 Mr.. Marshburn was teaching
at Sarum on the frontiers of Vir-
ginia."
Early School Legislation
In 1745 the commissioner of the
town of Edenton were authorized by
an act of assembly 70 erect and build
a pound, bridges, public wharf, mar
ket-house, and scboolhose in such
public places as would be most con-
%venient for the inhabitants of the
town. A few years later (1754) the
Assembly appropriated six thousand
pounds for founding and endowing
a public school" in the province. This
money however, was " applied to
this purpose.
The first incorporated public school
in North Carolina to receive aid in
the form of gifts of both public land
and annual public taxes was establish
ed at New Bern. This school was
started in 1854 and in 1856 it was
incorporated by the name of "The
incorporated Society for promoting
and establishing a Public School in
New Bern" This was the beginning
of free public education-the begin
ming of State aid and free admission
of children into tax-aided schools.
The Constitution Of 1875 made
provision for establishment of schools
and for a university. The Revolu-
tionary War, however, put an end to
many of the schools already estab-
lished.
At the close of the war, a new in
terest in education sprung up, Be-
tween the years 1882 and 1879 the
Legislature granted charters to TWEEN
ty-one academies and two public
schools. The Legislature of 1926
created a Literary Fund, the interest
from which together with local taxes
was to be used in supporting a public
school system. In 1888 Governor
Dudley reported to the Legislatu1e
that this fund amounted to nearly
100000. AS a result the first pub
lie school laws was passed January Z,
1889. This law provided for the
establishment Of a general system of
free schools throughout the State
The principle of support was that of
local taxation plus appropriation from
the Literary Fund. Thus in 1910 we
have the beginning of public schools.
During that year there were four
colleges with 2s3 students, al c
ademies having 1898 students, and
632 primary (public) schools with
$4,000 pupils enrolled.
At the opening of the War in
1861, the State had perhaps the best
system of public schools in the South.
The number of colleges had increased
to six, the number of academies to
$50, and the number of public schools
to 1000, with a total enrolment of
2,4oo in colleges, $4,000 in academies
and 10000 in public primary
schools.
During the war some Of the schools
were kept open, but the Literary Fund

The tabulation of a total of 1867

Dental poll of the Hearst morning,

the United States, as reported in the
third published returns, show that
Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt is
leading President Hoover in 40 out of
4S states. The total vote standing
in the third returns as follows:
Governor Roosevelt - 65,110
President Hoover - 40,968
The third tabulation indicates that
Mr. Hoover has picked up consider
able strength since the last returns
in the following states: New York.
New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio,
Michigan and Indiana. The out
standing change of the week was the
shifting of Ohio to the Hoover col
umn by a majority of 7 votes. 1t is
to be noted that the increase in the
Hoover strength was made since his
acceptance speech, and strongly indi-

While making gains in the East
the President has lost ground in the

GIRLS RACKET TO GET
MOVIE CASH BLOWS UP

Lynn, Mass.-The movie money o.
two ~15-year-old Lynn girls was cut
off sharply when they were picked uE
in a department store in Union Stree,
Lynn, for "buying children's gar.
ments but failing to pay for them.
Inspector Joseph Coyne, to thu
store by telephone, was told frankly
by the girls that each had been sent
to the store with $50 to buy arti-
cles for younger children in thei1
families.
They had selected the correct arti-
cles but then started to slip away
without turning over the price. Il
was their method, they said, of get
ting money for the movies.
Their parents were called to Lynn
police headquarters, and after the
girls were severely lectured by In
spector Coyne, he turned them over
to the parents without a charge being
made.

was swept away at the close Of the
war when banks failed and railroad
stocks in which one-half Of the fund
was invested deprecated in value,
and thus the schools suffered.
Then began the long struggle tc
build up a public school system
Earnest efforts were put forth by
each succeeding administration to i'm
prove the educational situation, but
not until the administration of Gov
ernor Aycock did any notable fruition
result. Governor Aycock pledged
that during his administration every
effort should be expended in the in
terest of education. An educationa
campaign was launched and speaker
were sent into many of the counties
This campaign aided in winning vic
tories for local educational taxes ant
for the better grouping of school
districts.
