Reilly Says Bankers
|WiII Triple Loans in
COMPETITIVE Economy

Banks will make three times as
many loans during the coming
competitive economy" as they did
before the war, but the risks will
be correspondingly great and will
demand closer attention to credit
principles, John A. Reilly, president
Of the Washington Board of Trade,
told the Junior Board Of Commerce
yesterday.
Mr.. Reilly, who is president of the
Second National Bank, declared at
the boards luncheon in the Burling-
ton Hotel that the capitalistic sys-
tenn can survive In the United States
only if management, labor and gov
ernrent subordinate selfish ad-
vantages."
He attacked proponents of eco
nomic security rather than equality
of opportunity" They are "intellec-
tually dishonest" when they decry
the profit system" but fail to men,
ton that such a system is "neces-
sarily one of profit and loss" he
said.
"Since 1888 we have had a sub
sidized economy" he explained.
Nov we are going into a free en-
terprise, competitive economy. OF
course, banks prospered during the
war. 1t was hard for a banker to
make mistake in granting credit
with Uncle Sam as the principal
customer. But banking will be diff
ferent from now on. Credit grant
ing, especially the elements of char
acter, capital and capacity, must
command our attention much more
as the pendulum swings back to the
coming competitive economy"
Mr.. Reilly called for a closer re-
lationship between bankers and
businessmen generally. He said he
hoped that amy unfortunate ex-
perience any of you may have had
with some banker will not lead you
to advocate Government controls" ("

addressed to "the trusting and
well-beloved Captain Kidd, in
command of the ship, Adventure
Galley" Armed with this letter,
and cannons and cutlasses, Kidd
set sail for Africa where he
earned a resounding reputation
for shooting, sinking and plum
dering. In 1893, Kidd returned
to his home port, New York,
wiped the blood off his hands and
buried a fortune in gold and sill
yer. To this day salvage parties
are still digging for it in the
vicinity of New York harbor.
To Kidd's amazement, he was
arrested soon after he had buried
his swag. Taken to England in
irons, he was brought to trial in
Admiralty Court. He could not
be tried for piracy because he
possessed a letter of marque, so
he was tried for killing a men,
Der of his crew. And for this he
was subsequently hanged,
Some proctors consider the
Kidd case a grave miscarriage
of justice. Even today, on read

proctors will say, Nov if l had

Justice Strong of the Supreme

Undoubtedly no single nation
can change the law of the sea.
That law is of universal obliga-
ton and like all the laws of na-
tons it rests upon the common
consent of civilized communi-

Thus we see that the school

health program is actually very
broad.
In order to illustrate the act
ivities of the school health pro-
gram in Ashe county a resume Of
the medical work done in the
schools in the past year will be
given in three parts dealing with
the approach of the health depart
ment to the school child in three
stages of his school development.
The first stage of a child'S school
development is that of becoming
adjusted to the school environ
ment and of learning how to
learn. Because it is important
that each child be as well equip
ped as possible to start his years
Of schooling an effort is made
to examine the children before
they enter the first grade and
to correct any remediable physi-
cal defects. This is done at the
pre-SchoOl clinics at which it is
customary to examine the child's
The Skyland post. [volume] (West Jefferson, N.C.) 193?-1988, 1947-05-08

point out that the active pro-
gram in this county will con-
tinue until schools are closed.
The third phase of school health
development is in the high schools
where most of the remediable de-
fects have been corrected and
where an active program of ply
steal education and health classes
is conducted. Among this group
the chief concern of the health
department is seeking out early
cases of tuberculosis by doing
tuberculin tests on junior and
senior high school students and
referring those with positive re-
actions to chest X-ray clinics,
Last fall Mrs. McNeill, the health
nurse, gave such tests to a total
of 262 students in the nine high
schools of Ashe county. Of these
81 were positive and EOS were
negative. All of those with
positive tuberculin test received
the benefit of chest X-ray. None
Of those examined were found
to have active tuberculosis, but
8 were found to have scars of in
active childhood type tubercu-
lOSiS.
To summarize, the school health
program is very broad including
all phases of public health work
and extending throughout the en-
tire year. 1t deals with children
who are just preparing to enter
school and with elementary and
high school students as we'll. The
enumeration of the work done
during this year is only partial
and does not reflect in any way
the results of the examinations
or the disposal of these findings.

Observations on
Two-High School
Program Are Given

In order to give both sides of the
picture, the observations regarding
the proposed school plant program for
Garrett county, as made by Ray L.
Hamon, L. s. office of Education,
were obtained this week from Walter
w. Dawson, president of the Board Of
Education.
Mr.. Hamon pointed out that the
present organization for planning
school buildings is based on legisla-
tive act which authorized token bond
issues for six specific projects. This
organization will weaken the Mary
land county-unit type of school or
ganization and trend toward local dis
trict control which is now hampering
overall countrywide planning in many
other states"
He declared it was obvious that ad-
ditional and more facilities would be
required for the Oakland Elementary
school, and that a study of the map
of enrolment indicated that the coun-
tvs elementary schools might be fur
Their consolidated This of course
means some new consolidated elemen-
tary school plants
He continued: Even when due al
lowance is made for winter road con-
ditions it seems obvious that Garrett
county does not need and cannot af-
ford to build and maintain five high
schools An estimated enrolment
when the 18th grades would be brought
in from nearby schools were Oakland,
l000 Grantsville, 400; Friendsville,
250; Kitzmiler, 200; Accident, $50.
"This is just sufficient enrolment"
he stated, for two good 6-year high
schools If Kitzmiller High school
were consolidated with Oakland, it
would make 200; and if the other
three were consolidated at or near
Grantsville it would make 800. ANY
more high schools in this county would
be difficult to defend"
He was aware Of possible arguments
because he continued "The difficulty
Of transportation will be used as an
argument against consolidation of
high schools, but two factors should
be pointed out in defense of this sug-
gcStion. % About 80 percent of the
high school pupils are now being
transported. If the three smallest high
school centers were eliminated, it
would ultimately require Transporting
only about 1870 more pupils than if the
five centers are maintained. (2) With
the exception Of short distance be-
tween kitzmiller and Oakland, two
high schools would not require pupil
transportation over any roads not now
being used by school buses"
He observes of Oakland High: Ger
tainly the Oakland High school plant
has no possibilities in either case. A
portion of it is the old jail which was
condemned as unsafe for criminals 50
years ago. This is without doubt
the worst 'botched-up' piece of patch
work ever saw" He termed the other
four schools as inadequate for both
high and elementary schools, even for
the present enrollmentS and none of
