That Notwithstanding the de-
crease in annual ven of over
81. OOO. 900 there has been added
to the school enrolment over 1920
more students than were enrolled
in 1885. The reduction in revenue
and increase in enrolment has
causCd a badly overcrowding OF
school, improper maintenance OF
school, property has impaired the
morale of teaching staff and re-
duced needed service to pupils;
further that equipment of pupils
with elementary necessities, Wis.
pen; pencil; paper and books have
been reduced to the point wherein
the lack of theSe necessities are
seriously refleoting in the educa-
ton of these children
Reviewing these facts is for the
purpose of en~lightening the COM
munity on the true situation of the
public schools, the opportunity OF
oud children to obtain an abundant
education, sanitation of the build
ing where they r. in attendance
and the physical safety Of ta1s
children.
Progress of a people Is In an
abundance of education easily OBJ
tanned. In Lake, Long, Kellom and
Howard Kennedy schools, ar
| abundance of education Is not easily
| obtained, due to conditions. There
is a serious shortage of text books.
| One class at Kellom, for an ex-
ample, has IS pupils and 20 geo
graphy books. One class at Long
school has 1 history book for
each 3 students and classes ara
now enlarged to IS students PER
| room.
Long School is by far In a eonM
ton to cause alarm. It is recOgn-
lied by fire authorities to be a fire
trap, without fire exits. Yet class
es are held in the basement of this
school on cement floors. The exits
from this basement is a narrow
staircase. Children in this base
ment would not have az chance
were a serious fire. to occur. In fact
all the children in Long school are
in extreme peril.
1t is the intention to report the
condition of each Of these schools
individually in future articles.
However, enough information Is
contained to awaken the commun-
ity to the urgent need of the pu-
bile school and the necessity for
immediate action by the Legislature
on Legislative Bill No. 314, provid-
ing additional school revenue.
Community and individual action
should be taken. Letter or cards

requesting support of L. B. 31A

available funds and insure the lives

Southern Economies

We note an article in the current
Virginia Quarterly Review, publish
ed at the University Of Virginia.
on THE South's Unbalanced Bud
by David Cushman Coyle, in
which these INTERESTING Observa-
tons are made:
"The south is losing money. The
editor of a leading southern news
paper makes a rough guess that
the south is paying out a billion
dollars a year beyond its yearly
income. Where does it get the
billion dollars? By selling its pro-
perty to investors in other parts
of the country, by borrowing money

and going bankrupt, by destroying
land and forest to make products
for sale.
"The south is losing phyical and
human. Forests are cut and moi
repLanted. Coal and iron ore are
mined and the steel shipped away
for others to use. The land is be-
ing washed into the sea. The peo-
pie are being allowed to suffer
poor health and poor education,
which so deeply concerns the lead
ers of the south, are involved in the
problem of economic unbalance

nation. Not only is the south as a
whole spending more han its in
come, most of its local units are
running a local deficit. And any
geographic unit that is spending
more than it's income is in a peril
Gus condition."
We are accustomed to hearing
stock easons for the backward
ness of the south, many of which
center their viewpoint. Mr.. Coyle
asserts:
"The causas of this economic
drain can be found, for oratorical
purposes, in the evil days of Re-
construction. But in hunting for a
remedy, we may as well recognize
that the evil of economic drain is
found in many parts of the north
and west. 1t has various causes,
many of them connected with the
difference between agriculture and
industry. Any remedy that will
help the south will be likely to
help the depressed areas in all parts
/ of the country"
| Mr.. Coyle is convinced that the
south needs federal aid, and says.
Education is probably the most
practical avenue of Feeral subsidy
to be further developed in the inn
mdiate future. For one thing, the
custom of substituting education il
of long standind and high respect
ability. The voters r not so cas-.
lily hooked by a program that il

old system"
But when it comes to the Negro
Mr.. Coyle, while showing some Ii
beral tendencies, finally curves
away from complete equality. HI
says:

be allowed to interfere with th'

Here is her story:
One time she exceeded her allow

pay bills, and her husband learned
about it. He told her:
We'll, we might as well keep the
interest in the family, SO I will loan
you the amount you owe the pawn
broker and will charge you 81 a
week.
This had to come out of her allow
ance.
Whenever Mcguire ate a n1eai

cents from the allowance. When the
rent was raised from $50 month
to $40, she had to make up the diff
ference in her budget.
If she needed household utensils
he brought them home from his
store and deducted the cost from
her allowance.
He did accord her the wholesale
prices, however.

CHAPTER FOUR
The White Fox

Helga was too excited about the
skis the North Star had given her
to sleep. In an hour she was out
of bed with a basket of snowflakes
on her arm.
She stopped by each doll bed and
dropped a snowflake on each dolls
ear. Pop" each doll sat up in bed
rubbing her eyes and saying, What
is it?"
Hurry to the toyshop door. I
have surprise for you," Helga said
to each one.
When she came to Santa's bed, it
was too high for her, so she tugged
at his bed clothes and called, San
ia, get up. My new game is ready
for you
So Santa popped out of bed, and
ran with all the toys to the skis.
What are they?" the toys shouted.
Some of the tin soldiers were using
them at bats, but Santa strapped
his right on, saying, why 1 used
to ski when I was a young man.
What a nice idea, Helga. Come on
Mrs. Santa, we won't work today
He stood up, pushed his feet
along the snow and slid off down
the hill from the toyshop door like
a jolly, big red apple. Helga strapped
on her silver skis and followed like
a streak of light, and the whole toy
shop followed.
You Can't Beat Me-
Past the Christmas tree forest
skied the toys Helga looked SO beau
tiful flying along in her ermine cape
that the captain of the toy soldiers
nearly burst his belt catching up
with her. Finally he was tipping
along beside her
At the top of the next hill Helga
and the soldier passed Santa.
I'll beat you to the bottom. .
sang out Helga.
Suddenly at her other side Helga
heard a deep voice say, You'll beat
the soldier, but you can't beat me-
She looked around and beside her
saw a beautiful white fox running
so swiftly his feet barely touched
the ground.
"Oh, Helga," whispered the tin
soldier. Beware of him"
why, I'm not afraid of him,
Helga laughed. Look" She grabbed
the tip of the fox's white tail as
he SKINNED past her and together
they seemed to fly to the bottom OF
the hill. The poor tin soldier just
sat down on a SNOWFALL and pant
ed until Santa caught up with him
The Fox Whispers
where's Helga?" asked Santa.
"Gone off with white fox, said
the soldier.
Gracious, that fox has stolen two
other dolls" said Santa. Hes sc
bad he knows he won't get any
Christmas gift. He might steal Hell
ga. We must find her."
But as he spoke the soldier ex-
claimed, Look Down the hill'
There came the white fox still run
ming, and Helga Swimming along be-
hind him. The fox brought Helga
straight to Santa's feet.
"You must be off to your hills,
said Santa to the fox.
"Just where l was going, Sir,
said the fox, but under his whis-
kers he whispered to Helga, I'll
be back at midnight"
