Common Decency Calls For Greater
Safety In Transportation OF Pupils,
More Teacher Pay, Says Ramsey
PubHcist Stresses Condi.
tons in Address Be-
for Kiwanis

Common decency, common JUS
tice and common sense demand
safer transportation for North
Carolina school pupils, less crowd
ed clasSrooms and revision up
ward of teachers salaries, ID. Hid.
en- Ramsey. general manager of
the Asheville Citizen-Times, told
the Kiwanis club and several
guests in an address here yester-
day.
GAS we come definitely out of
the depression" Mr.. Ramsey said,
"the chief civic problem confront
ing us is whether we shall carry
school standards up with us or
permit our children to be handi-
capped through life because OF a
lack of educational opportunities:
Youth, you know, is fleeing and
irrevocable, and perhaps the
greatest tragedy of the depression
was that the state was forced to
curtail educational expenditures. "
Mr.. Ramsey, who recently was
elected chairman of u laymen's
group organized in Western
North Carolina to support a pro-
era mfor better educational facll-
tiles, said he derived no pride
from government figures showing
that a child who is born and rear
ed in North Carolina has less than
one-half the national average
spent on his education. This APP
parent discrimination, he added,
is partially due to the fact that
North Carolina is not a rich state,
but, with the depression over, he
urged that schools again be given
first claim on the affections and
sacrifices of the people.
Referring to the laymen's or
ganization which he heads, Mr..
Ramsey said that up to this time
school officials and teachers have
been forced into the false posi-
ton of advocating better educa-
tional facilities when such inn
provement would necessarily give
employment to more teachers at
higher salaries.
"While more teachers and high
er salary schedules are necessary
if standards are to be raised, we
should never lose sight of the fact
that schools exist for the welfare
of children" the speaker said:
"After all, teachers could find
other employment, but while they
are charged with the educational
advancement of our children they
are entitled to adequate salaries
and favorable classroom condi-
tions. Rattletrap buses crowded 70
the absolute limit are traversing
some of our highways, and how
the state has escaped a mayor
tragedy is beyond comprehension
Classrooms likewise are over
crowded, and teachers are over
worked. Even with the return Oh

AGAINST INTERFERENCE

LONDON, Dec. 1S.-(UP)-
Capt. Anthony Eden warned Ger
many, Italy and Russia to keep
hands off Spain during foreign
affairs debate today in the House
Of Commons.
at is the duty Of all nations to
keep out of the Spanish quarrel
and allow the Spanish people TO
settle their sufficiently tragic diff
ficulties in their own way" Eden
said.
Eden frankly admitted that
"non-intervention has not realiz-
ed our expectations, neither the
speed with which the agreement
was initiated nor the manner in
which it has been observed"
"Despite shortcomings and bla-
tant breaches, the non-interven-
ton policy has reduced the risks
of a European war;" Eden con-
tinued. at is better to exagger-
ate the risks Of war than to over
look them. ~ . -. -
az stand in no white sheet for,
the support Of non.intervention.
Our support Of this policy Is not
due to weakness"
Indicating that q new Franco
British mediation move Is impend-
ing. Eden said:
1.-THE government is searching
for some means to better the pol
icy of non-intervention. Neither
the British nor French intend to
desist from their attempts to Sc
cure mediation"
