OTHERS VIEWS
SCHOOL QUESTIONS
To The Editor:

May 1 have a small place in your
paper to recite few facts, all of
which are only too we'll known, but
to me seem timely to review?
The State Congress Of Parents and
Teachers, Of which all of our parents
and teachers associations here in
Henderson are part, after painstak-
ing consideration and in close CO.
operation with the State Board of
Education, has drafted the following
legislative program which embraces
the following vital issues:
FIRST: Twelfth grade:
We feel that our boys and girls
who go to college are Handicapped in
that they are so poorly equipped to
compete with students from other
sections of the country who have had
II or 13 years of preparation. No
one can say that the twelfth grade
is more important that the ninth
month, but it is felt by some that
this is a privilege that should be
provided by local supplement.
SECOND: Increase in teachers SAL
aries:
SCl LdlIlly we IGdlIZG CIldL UlSSd us
fled teachers and those laboring I'M
der great financial strain react very
forcibly on ourCHILDREN in the
school room. Then, too, we are losing
our best teachers, and we need to
keep the best for our children now
as never before. When we compare
the salaries of such highly trained
people as our teachers with the
wages of the day laborer, it is obvious
that in our thinking we are being
very unjust in our distribution of
the taxpayers money, to say moth
ing of the type of service we demand
of them; the training of our children,
the future citizens of our great state.
l feel that the day laborers them
selves will agree with this thought,
since I have talked with many of
them.
THIRD: Retirement fund for teach
erS:
Because of the benevolence of the
local school authorities, the teachers
who have given their lives to the
cause of CHILDHOOD and are old

and worn, and, who, because of their
meager salaries ali through the years,
have no funds saved for their old age
security, are kept in the school room
long after they have passed their USE
fulness. Surely we want to provide
them with some feeling Of security in
recognition of the great contribution
to the youth of our land. We can
readily understand what change it
would make in the class room, if the
teacher could give her entire thought
to the work at hand, the teaching of
our boys and girls, and not be con-
cerned in a worried manner, about
the monetary things of life. The
other state employees are provided
with this feeling of security, and just
against in this, and other measures,
is fact not clear to the writer.
FOURTH: Compulsory immuniza-
ton against diphtheria:
We have only to look back Is or
20 years to see what compulsory i'm
munization against smallpox has
done for our children and the coun-
try as a whole to realize what this
matter will mean to this generation
and those that are to come after us.
Certainly this deserves our worthy
consideration and support.
1 wish to commend these several
measures to the people Of Vance
county, and urge them to give them
serious consideration. If, after so do
ing, they can conscientiously do SO,
am asking that they let their rep
resentatives in the legislature in
Raleigh know their wishes. 1t is not
our job to point out to the legislature
where they will get the money to-
put into effect these all-impartant
measures, only to show them the
need. Also l think we should point
out to them the difference between
these measures and any others that
are brought to their attention-that
of CHILDHOOD-the most precious
thing in all of the world, both to the
parent in the home and to the state
in its future citizenry. There is no
way of knowing how many young
lives that are being ruined by the
lack of any one of these measures.
We in the training of our children,
are dealing with soul stuff, not brick
and motar We should ask our rep
resentatives to put first things first
our children. If we will do this, then
all of these other economic measures
twill be added unto u.s..

A Trifling Sum

Those VINO could not work up any
concern over the paltry $725,QO0,O0O
recently voted the President for con-
tinuing relief mere five months

tory few years. That amount OF
money, so great that the mind OF
the average man does not even con-
template It's bigness, is for only a
very minor portion of the cost Of
running the government. Mind you,
more than twice that amount has
already been spent during the first
seven months of the current fiscal
year of the government for the
same purpose 10 which this is to be
put,
But, turning back a few decades.
In the days of the first Roosevelt
the entire cost of operating the
United States government, from
president to janitor, was only about
that much for one whole year.
This is big country; it is rich
and poWerflll-more so than any
other In all the world. 1t is much
bigger than it was in the early years

States. 8; ! :, '-.~
The. Federal government is spend
ing at the rate of some ten billions
of dollars a year-an outlay of
about $4,000 for every minute

it, And yet this SIPS, 100000 is only
a supplement to the one and a half
billion dollars poured into the WPA
ir the past seven months. Each
passing year sees two to three bill
lions of dollars spent more than
the government receives in reve-
nue., with the country carrying the
heaviest tax load in all its history,
and with virtually every back bent
double under the burden.
On top of all that, the President
is again at the doorstep of Congress
asking for more and still more
money to be poured into the same
channels, apparently with little
thought or concern as to where it is
all coming. from, or when or how,
just SO long as he can get his hands

If there were convincing argu-
ment' that all of this vast sum were
needed, and that it would be spent
usefully instead of so much of if

about it. Far be it from us to be-

In the face of such policies and pro-
grams as this, is there any wonder
that capital is afraid and hesitant?
How could it be expected to be
otherwise?
Government authorities are so &C
customed to extravaganza that they
no longer think in terms Of paltry
millions. They don't think they
have done anything until they step
up into the billions. And every day
this thing continues, this great and
powerful and rich nation moves a
step nearer to national bankruptcy.
