WHAT SHOULD SCHOOLS
ACCOMPLISH?

Conference delegates expressed the
opinion that the detectives of health,
citizenship, character building and
the Command of the fundamental
processes such as basic courses, vo-
cational training, stable home MEM
bership and moral responsibility are
still the desired goals of our system
of education.
They also opined that more emphasis
should be given to the "three Rs" -
the teaching of reading, writing, spell
ing, mathematics and grammar; new
teaching methods should be used and
recognition given the Importance of
social studies and the arts; less en-
phasis should be placed on interscho-
lastic competitive sports.
Greater development of intra-mur-
al athletics was recommended by the
conference.
Guidance and counseling of chill
dren, driver training, natural re-
source conservation and vocational
training should be part of the mod
ern school cirriculur, but not at the
expense of Fundamental subjects,
delegates concluded.
Another aim of education should be
to attempt to meet the needs of the |
gifted child, the handicapped, and
other non-average children.
determination of the state course |
of study was suggested to assist in |
establishing more uniform and eff
fective cirricula.

An estimated $4,000 will be need
ed for the new building that will
house approximately 20 boys from
throughout North Carolina. We do
not feel that any difficulty will be
found in raising this money. Columbus
County folks, alone, have always car
ried their share of any load that was

the help of Brunswick and Baden
counties the possibilities of seeing
over 100 boys getting chance at
Boys Home are exceptionally good.
Mr.. Peacock estimated that the

A Helping Hand Gives Youngsters A Lift

We have noted with interest the
cooperative spirit of Carolina Power
and Light officials in making possible
baseball games under the lights for
youngsters engaged in the local recre-
alton program.
Naturally, it would be impossible
for Carolina Power and Light Com
pany to donate their entire services.
On the surface it appears that large
organization could easily forget about
the services in one small ball park;
however, multiply that one park by
several hundred towns and the rea-
sons for paying are obvious.

law - either exceeding stated speed
limits or driving too fast for conditions.
And this figure, of course. does not
include accidents which resulted only
in injury or property damage.
So it might be said, in traffic, that
speed wastes lives. And that it also
wastes work time and health. And it
runs up an immense annual bill of
damage to property.
Then too. it has been established
that fast speeds of motor vehicles
take more gasoline and oil, wear out
tires faster than would the same dis
lance travelled at slower speeds.
Haste really does make waste in
traffic, which is an excellent reason
for everyone to support the traffic
safety program on speed control,
SLOW Down and Live" which is being
sponsored statewide by the Cover
nor's Traffic Safety Council.
National symbol of this program is
the Hurry Bug, bee-like creature
always in a state Of nervous haste
It's dangerous, and costly, way to
live-and drive.

cal in the recreation program.
We only hope the parents of the
youngsters who play will show the
same interest in their children as

gram.

Haste Makes Waste

Haste makes waste" is a COPY
book maxim as familiar to most Of
us pair of old shoes. And it's no
wonder, for the idea is a very old one
in our culture.
The sentiment appears as early as
the First Century, AID, in the writing
of Plutarch. And the phrase, Haste
maketh waste" apparently had been
in the English language a long time
when, in 1916, it was published in a
collection of English proverbs and col
loquial sayings.
When any folk saying survives
through the years as this one has, the
reason quite possibly maybe that the
saying expresses some basic truth.
Certainly we can find plenty of
truth in this old, simple phrase when
We apply it to our modern, complex
traffic picture. For on our streets and
highways haste often makes waste.
According to the State Department
of Motor Vehicles, nearly out of 10
drivers involved in a fatal auto smash
up in 1854 were violating speed

ALL IN THE POINT OF VIEW

g. While talking with the Rev. p c. CAN'T at the
Baptist Church the other day, lady walked up and
started looking at the tremendous pile of chairs that
had been gathered from various in the church.
They were sale and folks looking them
over.
"Ifow much these chairs?" the woman asked
They're worth about dollar" replied Mr.. CAN'T
We'll some of them aren't worth anything she
remarked.
8 Preached CAN'T smiled and nodded his head ir
agreement.
Point of the story that the majority of the chairs
are worth more than the dollar they are asking and
the money goes for good cause If you need chairs
for the house or lawn it's the best buy in town.
