| hard-boiled veterans, men who
have lived through so many ad-
ministrations and been disillu-
stoned so often there are cal
louses on their brains, talk even
glibly about the merits Of the
present White House incumbent.
If Mr.. Roosevelt fails the craft,
by any false word or deed, he
will break a hundred hearts that
have not actually palpitated for
any political figure in many a
year. Meaning, Of course, that
the new President is personally
popular with the rank and file
Of correspondents, though the
political alignment remains as
usual.
white House conferences are
more frank, informal and pleas
ant than in any previous admin
istration. There is every indi-
cation that they will continue
so. This assertion is based on
the following facts: % Mr..
Roosevelt knows how to get
along with newspaper people, is
willing to trust the craft, and
appears to be genuinely disposed
to act in the open. ~ With
| Col. Howe, Marvin Mcintyre
and Steve Early as secretaries,
and Charlie Nicholson as close
political advisor, the President
IS surrounded by men much be-
loved by Washington correspon-
| dents. All have been working
newspaper men at the Capital.

for the preservation of the pres
ent marriage and divorce laws.
For The past week or 50 these
women have been in the rotunda
of the capitol daily, cornering this
number and that. trying 10 enlist
their support in preventing anv
modification Of the laws.
Their lobby against the Bailey
bill has been unsuccessful so far,
but the bill is yet to come up in
the house. The bill passed the
senate by close margin. The
marriage law bill, as it was orig
inally drawn and passed by the
house. repealed the present law
recurring a physical examination
and WAS designed to keep North
Carolina couples from running
across the borders to Virginia and
South Carolina to be married.

law went into effect. to l2,2l2 in
the fiscal year ending June 30,

North Carolina lost $52,62l in
revenue last year because of the
stringent marriage law. Even the
strongest opponents of the pres

highly desirable if it worked, but
they believe that Such la" never
can work.
After losing the fight in the
house. the women renewed their
activity, and succeeded in getting
before the senate a substitute bill
which does not differ materially
from the present law, and which
some believe is even more strln-

quires only the man to undergo

tai taxes. but would permit add
tiOnal taxes TO be levied in the
counties and districts with which
to supplement the funds received
from the state.
1t is true that the bill retains
the board of equalization. But in
many places where the present
school law gives this board the
authority to exercise its own judg-
ment in the allotment of funds,
this bill directs that it "shall" ra-
Their than may" allot certain
amounts. thus making it manda-
tory rather than optional.
The bill provides in the first
place that the state may be divid-
ed into administrative units, whit
a superintendent for each unit,
where there are less than 5000
pupils in a county, including any
special charter districts within the
county, unless the number of pu-
pills in any given charter district
is in excess of 5000. This would
leave 81 of the larger counties
and seven of the larger special
charter. Or city school systems,
unchanged.
The bill further provides, how
ever, that if any county or dis
trict with an enrolment of be-
tween 5000 and 5000 will levy a
special tax, that it can become
separate administrative unit with
a separate superintendent. Thus
a county or district with an en-
rollment of 5000 or more pupils
could levy a tax OF only two or
three cents and thus be able to
have a superintendent all by it
self. There are 60 counties and
seven charter districts with an en-
rollment of more than 5000 pu-
pills. so that on this basis there
could and would be 76 admins
trative units" with rs superinten-
dents getting $4,000 a year. with
out making any consultations
whatever. The bill stipulateS that
the salaries of all superintendent
in administrative units" shall be
$4,000 a year except in counties
where natural conditions make
this impractical, and fixing the
salaries for these smaller units NJ
$500 a year. But it is agreed
that most of the 48 counties with
less than 5000 pupils in their
schools could be grouped into at
least "a two-county systems, IN
which the superintendent would
get $4,000 year.

Three qualifications of a Sun

by l.. H. Mckay, superintendent
of the Presbyterian Sunday school
in a talk last night at the Feb
ruary supper meeting of the Sun
day school council of the First
NJ. E. church. About 80 members
were present. s. NJ. Garren. asso-
ciate superintendent. presided in
the absence of Henry Ransom, SUI
perintendent.
IAN efficient Sunday school
teacher should have interest, per-
sonality and knowledge, and there
is only one source from which
these may be Obtained" Mr.. Nc
Kay said. "They all come from
the Heavenly Father, and no one
has the right to influence young
lives who does not possess them. "
Mr.. Mckay lamented the fact
that parents have in large meas
ure passed on to the Sunday
schools the duty of giving reli-
gious instruction to their children.
For perhaps a majority of fami-
lies. Sunday schools have taken
the place of the family altar, he
said.
A report by B. H. Colt. treas
urer of the Victory fund cam
paign in the Sunday school,
showed that more than $4,000
was raised through weekly collec-
tions during the year ended Feb.
/. and that more than 1880 was
handled. This money is applied
