ROLAND EXPLAINS
EDUCATION HERE
TO KIWANIS CLUB

Kiwanians found good reason to
swell with pride in the New Han
over county school system at their
Wednesday meeting when H. M.
Roland, school superintendent, told
them something about its difficult
ties and accomplishments during
this war period.
One Of the greatest difficulties,
he said, has been to accommodate
the transient children Of defense
workers. In one school building, he
added in illustrating this point,
there were recently enrolled so pu-
pills who had attended school the
previous year in California. The
teaching staff of the county has
members from So states. 1t has
been necessary to adjust the view
points of both new pupils and
tea chers to the North Carolina
courses of study, and at the same
time see that no time is lost or
progress delayed.
The speaker revealed the great
development of adult education
here, citing that in the last three
years, while war work has been at
the peak, $4,000 adults have taken
advantage of special courses con-
Quoted for their benefit and a
great majority Of them have found
employment upon graduation. In
addition some 5000 other persons
have attended classes in a great
variety of subjects, receiving high
~ specialized training for tasks re.
curing extraordinary skill.
MIR, Roland added that the per-
centage of pupils here taking spe'
cial spring examinations Tor col
lege entrance is highest IN the
state. Despite the loss OF pupils &c
the armed forces and others quit
ting school for employment, Ne"
Hanover High school is second II

schools. ;,
MIR. Roland paid high tribute tt
the r. o. T. c., saying that many
former members now in the regu
lar service have advanced in ranl

much better than other younl
men from civil life.
He told how many pupils arr
holding regular jobs by day ant
attending school by night, and vic'
versa, and are keeping up VIII
their scholastic work in tine way
He commended the addition OF Bl
BILE courses to the regular curricu
lum and highly praised the teach
ers not only for their teaching skill
but the influence they have beer

have taken their social problems
to them for solution.
The elementary schools are all
overcrowded, some having sever
al hundred more pupils than they
were built to accommodate, with
all classes taken care OF without
interruption, because, Mr.. Roland
said, 1--WE have been particularly
fortunate in securing competent
teaching staff" Attendance at ele-
mentary schools, he disclosed, now
totals 14,750.
The Board OF Education and the
teaching staff generally are study
ing how to change the courses OF
study to fit the needs and require
ments of the coming years. The
aim is to find new ways of equip
ing the oncoming generation for
the tasks it must take up, paying
particular attention to individual
aptitudes.

Now everyone knows that to get the good
out Of the food you eat-you must digest
it properly. But what most people don't
know is that Nature must produce about
two pints of the digestive juice-liver
bile-each day to help digest your food.
# Nature fails-your food may remain
undieested-lie sour and heavy in your
digestive tract.
Thus, it is simple to see that one way
to aid digestion is to increase the flow OF
liver bile. Now, Carter's Little Liver
Pills start to increase this flow quickly
for thousands-oftenin as little as thirty
minutes. When bile flow increases, your
digestion may improve. And, soon you're
On the road to feeling better-which Is
what you're after.
Don't depend on artificial aids to coun-
teract indigestion-when Carter's aid
