The Cost of Schools
Record of States Expenditures in
Last Three Years

At the peak Of its appropria-

1928-1929, North Carolina was
spending less than half Of the
national average per child per
year
Before the cut Of two years
ago the salaries Of teachers were
at an average level Of less than
5000 d year.
Including interest and install
ment on bonds, the average cost
per child per year in North Car
olina was $3744 in 1880 as com
pared with the national aver
age Of $75.39. Here is what the

Bob Reynolds Postcards
(Ba(tjmore EreniHY Sun)


The Hon. Robert K. Reynolds,
of North Carolina, the Wringing
wet Senator from a State that
went dry in 1908, gave a short
lecture to the newspaper report
ers Wednesday on the practice
Of politics. Among the factors
that contributed to his success
he counts red-and-W white striped
stick candy, a sad-eyed mare, a
broken-dOWn fliVVer and post
cards from Port Said.
The other properties are more
or less familiar, but the post
cards are d new wrinkle. As
matter Of fact, they were or
iginally designed for another
campaign, when Mr.. Reynolds
was running for Lieutenant
Governor in 1924. Just after
announcing his candidacy he
started for a trip around the
world. With him he took a
stack Of postcards, with his cam
paign platform printed on the
back, and mailed them back to
Voters-a batch from every port
at which the ship touched. Thus
postcards streamed into North
Carolina from Port Said, Bonn
bay, Singapore, Iongkong, 1o-
kQhama and other strange for
eign places. Mr.. Reynolds lost
that race, but when he started
out for the Senate this time he
found that his name, at least.
was remembered by practically
every Tar Heel who had receiv-
ed card,
1t is clear that here is a
politician who knows his stuff.
Two thousand years ago the
Romans discovered the infallible
political prescription in bread
and circuses." Even dull fellows
can understand the bread part
of it; but the resourceful and
ingenious know that the circus
es half is perhaps the more i'm
portant Ingredient Nor need
the sort of circus that tickles
the electorate be expensive.
Many a candidate this year paid
out hundreds and thousands to
ward heelers without getting as
great a return as this man got
with a postcard from Port Said.

Battle WithdraWS
Rocky Mountaineer Wants Not to Be
Voted for as Alumni President

Just as We go to press We
learn that Kemp. d. Battle. of
Rocky Mount has written d let
ter to j. Maryon Saunders, sec
retary of the Alumni Associa-
ton, saying that he doesn't want
to be voted for as. president.
His communication seems to
quash the family feud predicted
in the char column of today )
issue of this newspaper.
Il see with astonishment that
| am one of the nominees for
president" writes Mr.. Battle.
Il presume that | was selected
with the view that it would not
hurt my feelings in the least to
be defeated by my cousin, who is
serving with such conspicuous
ability the uneXpired term Of
Mr.. Harvey. Mr.. Lewis should
by all means be continued for a
term of his own. What worries
me is that the alumni may not
be advertent to the situation and
may vote for me in the belief
that Mr.. Lewis has had his turn.
If the cog should slip and
should be selected it would be a
calamity to the association and tC
me, as the commitments of my
time for the next year are such
as to incapacitate me from put
ting the necessary effort into the
job. Furthermore the president
should be some one who has
served on the directorate and be-
come acquainted with the prob
lens of the association.
by reason Of all the forego-
| ing | think it is absolutely essen
tlal that the alumni should un-
derstand the situation and should
know that Mr.. Lewis is merely
serving in Mr.. Harvey's place
| want you to help me in what
ever way is best to get over to
the alumni my sincere request
that they vote for my cousin,
Kemp 7. Lewis"

Chapel Hill Chaf

Kemp P. Lewis of Durham and

first cousins, are asplrants to
the office Of president of the
University Alumni Association.
Ballots have been sent out to the
members, to be marked and re-
turned to- the secretary's office,
and the fight is on.
Here we have the makings of
a family feud of the r ost dead
ly character. Fortunately Dur
ham and Rocky Mount are g..
miles apart by the shortest
route, and neither candidate is
apt to have occasion to visit the
home town of the other; but they
both have intimate connections
with Raleigh and | am afraid
that | will pick up newspaper
most any day and read of a

AS the campaign proceeds we
may well expect the bad blood
to grow hotter and hotter until
it reaches the boiling point. No
recriminations have been en-
gagged in yet, but nobody knows
what revelations a day may
bring forth. The rivals have
been associated intimately since
childhood, and they know a lot
about each other.
1t has always been my under
standing that the art of packing
ballot boxes has attained a PEI
fection in eastern North Caro-
lima attained in no other quarter
of the country-hoWever shocked
Josiah William Bailey may be at
the intimation that North Caro-
lima Democrats ever violated the
election laws - and, with that
in mind, | would be inclined to

thing from packing ballot boxes.

Mrs. Burnham's Ride
Runaway on Bicycle, in Flame color
ed Frock, Resembles a Comet

Mary BaSon stood beside her
bicycle on the sidewalk on east
Franklin street the other day,
and her aunt, Mrs. Athol Burn
ham, said to her,
Il used to ride bicycle. Let
me get on and take a spin
SO she mounted and made off
westward. All went we'll as
long as she was on level ground,
but trouble came after she had
started down the slope by the
kluttZ home.
In the days when Mrs. Burn
ham was Miss Bason and used
to go bicycling with the Nc
Adens and the Burwells and the
Clarksons and other friends in
Charlotte, the brake was applied
from the handlebars. You ex-
tended your fingers an inch or
so beneath the right bar and
pulled up a little piece of metal,
and thus you brought the brake
shoe against the tire
On this day last week, as the
bicycle gained momentum, Mrs.
Burnham stretched out her ting-
ers for the brake handle, but no
brake handle was there. This
threw her into a panic. "Where'S
the brake on this bicycle!" she
cried, but nobody answered.
The bicycle went faster-fast- :
er. The rider had on a brilliant
hame-colored frock, and she
made remarkable spectacle
resembling a fiery comet-as
she sped down the street.
The crossing of Hillsboro
street was only a little way
ahead, and an automobile was
about to Whiz around the cor
ner. BY this time Mrs. Burn
ham had decided to make no
more inquiries about the brake.
Instead, she cried: "Stop me!
Stop me-"
A student, coming east, heard
the appeal, ran forward to meet
her, placed himself in her path,
and brought the runaway bi
cycle to a halt.
