BALLOT UPON
EXTRASCHOOL
LEVY IS seen
County and State Boards
Approve Request Made
by City Board
WOULD FINANCE 9TH
MONTH OF SESSIONS

A special election in the Hen
Jacksonville city school district on
the question of whether a sup
Elemental tax should be levied to
finance a ninth month of school
probably will be held about the
middle Of March, it was indicated
today.
Request that such an election be
held was made on unanimous vote
of the board of city school trus-
tees, was approved by the county
board of education and the state
school commission, and is now be-
fore the board of county commits
SionerS for action.
The states attorney generals
office has ruled that calling Of
such an election is mandatory
when city and county school
boards have requested IL.
A special registration is requir-
ed for a school election of this ma
ture. and all persons living within
the limits of the city school dis
trict. which includes considerable
territory outside the boundaries
of the city proper, must register
before they can vote. The petit
ton as drafted asks that voters
be permitted TO say whether a tax
levy up to % cents on each 500
valuation should be made TO fl
nance an additional month OF
school. A levy of from 10 TO 10
cents is suggested for the first
year, the % cents being fixed as q
maximum for future years should
the county commissioners decide
that il was needed.
In voting to present the petit
ton, the city school board broke
a deadlock which existed a year
ago when the question came up.
Trustees opposed TO calling an
election at that time said they
preferred to wait until the county
had refunded it's bonded indebted
ness. This has since been done,
and the school officials voted
unanimously at their last meeting
to put Hendersonville in line with
many cities in the state which
have assured retention Of their &C
credited standing by financing an
extra month of school in addition
TO the eight months now supported
by the state.

Will Congress Bar Exports for War?

The United States ought to stop shipping
the tools of war to any nation at any time.
That is the view of Congressman Jerry
Voorhis, a California Democrat, who is hav-
ing a good deal to say about laws to keep
this country out of war, either in Europe or
Asia.
In a recent speech in the House of Repre-
sentatives, he gave some concise reasons why
Congress should not adjourn without action
on this peacetime ban on armament exports.
His six points impressed us with their sound
ness, and we are summarizing them and
printing them here:
l. Exports of arms in the last II months
have doubled.
2. These exports amount to a stripping of
American resources for arming foreign
nations.
3. We are supplying the munitions which
may sometime be used against us.
4. Our arm exports are accelerating the
world armament race.
5. An absolute embargo would show the
world that the United States refuses to en-
courage war and war preparations.
6. 1t would solve the problem of stopping
war supplies to Italy and Germany, who are
supporting the Spanish war, without invok-
ing the neutrality act, which, if invoked,
might lead to open wal in Europe.
We like the way Congressman Voorhis
states the case. We recall that public opin-
ion kept Congress in session in 1895 until it
passed the first neutrality law, and we wonder
if our people will show the same wisdom and
see to it that Congress does not fail them
this time.

A Modern Kind of Educator for
Modern Days

Professor James Harvey Robinson at the
time of his death, February 16, 1896, had just
completed, 'The Human Comedy" a sequel
to THE Mind in the Making" and "The Or
deal of Civilization" Listen to what he says
about education in a modern world: "Our
minds are not yet fitted to master and enjoy
the machine age and the international order
which a very few scientists and inventors
have created for us" -.
I'VE are burdened down by a vast baggage
Of outworn traditions and folkways, coming
down from a remote past" -.
History should not be regarded primarily
as an accumulation of information about the
past but as a means for cultivating intellec-
tual freedom and sagacity." 49,.
"Yet instead of subjecting traditional ideas
and rules to a thorough-going reconsidera-
ton, our impulse is to hasten to justify exist
ing and habitual notions of human conduct.
There are many a0ho fatter themselves that
by suppressing so-called radical" thought
and its diffusion the present system can be
made to aoork satisfactorily on the basis Of a
hundred or a hundred thousand gears ago.
While we have permitted our free thought
in the natural sciences to transform mans old
world, we allow our churches, schools, and
eUen our universities to continue to inculcate
beliefs and ideals which may have been ap-
propriate to the past, but which are clearly
a-nachronisms now" 49,.
ut is often, and correctly, said hat the
solution of any one of our major problems is
a matter of education. But it is a matter of
a far different type Of education from that zoe
haze had in the past."...
1--WE need a lot of education to set us on
the right economic track.
"But 1t must be a neD brand of education.

COOP HOSPITAL
ADDS NEW Service
Patients at Greater Distances to
Be Served Under New Plan.

ELK CITY, Oklahoma.-The Com
munity Hospital, Americas outstand-
ing example of cooperative health
service, has taken steps to enlarge
its service by adding a plan for in
patient care which will make it
possible to serve more economically
patients living at great distances
from the hospital.
Organized in 1929, the cooperative
hospital has been a phenomenal sue-
cess. The original membership of
300 has been increased to more than
1000 families. A three story hospi-
tai has been erected with the capital
provided by the member patients.
To this a new wing was added last
year to accommodate additional
members.
With seven years of experience to
draw upon, the cooperative is re-
organizing its method Of operation,
making very few changes in the
original plan, but adding a new serv-
ice for members living at greater
distances.
Under Plan Number One, for com
plete service dues will be So for
one person, $18 for two, $22 for
three and $24 for four or more per
family, disqualification costs So per
day, including room, board, general
nursing care, medicines and serums.
Anaesthetic and operating room fees
range from So for minor to $18 for
major operations. Al medical serv-
ice-physical examination, treatment,
surgery, deliveries are included in
the dues for "in-patients." For out
patients Chose not confined to the
hospita) the dues cover all medical
care except medicine and serums.
Free dental examination, X-ray Of
the teeth and extraction are included.
Plan Number Two, which has just
been added, is designed for patients
living at greater distances who will
receive treatment only when they
need hospital care. It is an adapta-
ton Of the Group capitalization
Plan and does not include treatment
when a patient is not confined to the
hospital. Dues for this plan range
from Sc per year for one person to
$12 per year for a family Of four or
more. Special rates are available to
disqualification subscribers at any
time they may desire to see a doctor
at his office.
This reorganization will make the
Cooperative Hospital Independent of
non-member support. AS member
ship is increased the per day charge
for disqualification will be reduced.
