1t seems that while almost everyone
spends Il lot of time these days talk
ing about how limited the space in
colleges will be in the near future,
and how important it is that our chill
drcn work harder in preparation for
the Stlffer competition they will face
when they apply for college entrance,
sui there are countless occasions
when it is considered acceptable that
children take time out from heir
school work for work on selling cam
palgns, fund drives, and so on.
1t is not enough to exclude only
those solicitations which are obviously
unworthy of our support. The worthy
ones ats well should be eliminated.
For, regardless of how worthy a
cause is, none is worth the time and
effort of school children.
Most people think YOU have a per-
feet right to your opinion provided
1t agrees with theirs.

ooHooL CHILDREN BELONG IN SCHOOL,

In Il speech to teachers in the
Whlteville school system last week.
Whlterille Mayor j. X. Powell tagged
as tin cup begging" the numerous
and seemingly endless excursions into
the business and residential districts
py school children seeking contribu-
lions for one thing or another.
His criticism of the practice hinged
mainly on the fact that it is improper
TO take school children away from
thelr primary work for these EXTRA
currlcular activities. even though
many of the causes" are worthy and
emitted to public support.
We are in full agreement with
Mayor Powell on this point.
That same criticism can he annriod
IN Tabor City as well as in Whiteyillc
rev II any towns escape this soIici-
tatlon practice.
