For Well Done Job

Telling Rotarians that ''What

Blakeslee, principal of Washing

day for the clubs observance OF
American Education Week. during
their regular meeting.
CAS- men think so do they act.
It is the responsibility of educators
right now to train pupils to think

lee, because they haven't gone
before the public, an omission
which Is being renedied in this
years observance Of Education
Week throughout the nation.
In asking for the backing Of the
public, he said 1--WE know what to
do but must have the support OF
the people to do the job.
Mr.. Blakeslee pointed out that
the nearly 800 teachers in New
Hanover county were 100 percent
enrolled as members of the Ma.
tional Educators Association
which he. said Shows our teach
ers are interested not only in the
classroom but in the whole educa.
tional setup.
This group is fighting to equal
ize education throughout the ma
ton through Federal subsidies, he
disclosed.
He advised citizens Of South
eastern states not to oppose the
pending bill as there are more
children born in that area than in
all the other parts Of the country
together, many Of whom migrate
to other parts of America making
the high rate of illiteracy a ma
tional, rather than sectional
problem.
In North Carolina, $45 per an
mum is being spent on each stu
dent while in typical northern
state, Pennsylvania, spends $125.
There is a popular notion that
anyone can teach school," Mr..
Blakeslle said, adding that the be.
lief was mistaken.
A good teacher must be trained,
interested and possess a sound so.

standing of the physical child,
the mental child and the moral
child" he stated.
He urged Rotarians to go to the
schools and ask questions about
the methods employed.
Mr. Blakeslee expressed the be.
lief that the man at the head Of
a school should be as skillful ano
trained as a doctor or scientist
because they were engaged in
molding people.
He disclosed that for three
years, Washington Catlett had

Salt Lake City, Sept. ls-(UP)- There is less cause to fear poliomye- litis than measles and whooping cough, in the opinion of pr. L. P. Gebhardt, professor of bacteriology at the University of Utah.
 Gebhardt, who has spent IS years studying and experimenting with polio, has e five-polnt pro- gram for preventing the disease, but he says:
 T would be more alarmed if my son should contract whooping cough or measles than If he should get polio.
 "Most people fear polio more than common illnesses such as measles and whooping cough because its re- suits have been more widely pub- licized," Gebhardt said.

SAVINGS BANKS CANCEL MEETING
I04S Business Session to Be Omitted in National
 Interests

Owing to urgent requests from Washington to conserve time, space and material the National Associa- tion of Mutual Savings Banks will forego Its l945 business meeting, previously announced to take place in May. Since mutual institutions operate in l7 states, and principally upon the eastern seaboard, the meeting of this year would have involved only a minimum of travel and consumption of goods; yet the Executive Committee of the aSso- ciation deemed 1t best to relinquish plans for discussion of current economic affairs by delegates repre- senting the whole membership. h. stead, brief meeting probably will be held in the spring by the asso- citation Council of Administration representing mutual savings banks at large.
 The participation of mutual in- stitutions in the war effort con- tinues at an intensive rate, their distribution of War Savings Bonds to the public approximating about a twenty-flfth part of all such bonds. The direct investment of mutual savings bank assets in Government securities of the usual issues substantially is above the halfway mark of these assets and continues to rise.
 Planning for the future will be continued by committees of the as- sociation, coupled with customary administrative actiVieies.
