SCHOOL CONDITION
ORDERED PR0BED
Judge Hamilton Charges
Craven Grand Jury
With Investigation

NEW BERN, April 10 - In re-
Spouse to numerous petitions from
local citizens, Judge Luther Hamil-
ton Of Morehead City, presiding
over a weeks term Of Superior
court here in exchange with Judge
Leo Carr, ordered the Craven
county grand jury to investigate
the condition of New Bern and
other county schools, particularly
with reference to sanitary provl-
sionS.
Schools Important
The jurist called attention to the
Importance of having good schools
and told the jurors not to white
wash their report. He urged that
a remedy be suggested for any
unfavorable conditions which may
be found. On the other hand, he
recommended that praise be given
wherever praise may be due. A
fair and unbiased report was re-
l4uested.
These references to the school
situation came at the end of an
address to the grand jury in which
Judge Hamilton expressed fear for
the future of the American way of
life unless the tendency towards
Ilawlessness and crime is stamped
out in the nation.
Crime Cost
Pointing out that under the
democratic system Of government
it is the privilege and RESPONSE
bility of every citizen to assist in
the duties Of government, the
Judge called for a more serious
acceptance of the responsibilities
of citizenship. Crime is costing
100000 a day, he reported. This
is four times the amount being
spent for education in this country
There are four criminals outside
for every boy and girl in college,
said the judge, adding that youths
of II years of age are guilty of
most crimes.
How can we preserve our social
order with the young people COM
hitting millions Of crimes?" asked
the judge. He said that youths are
not being taught what is right and
wrong but are warned against
being caught in crime. Nothing is
being spent for educating the heart,
he deplored.
