MARSHALL ABNER M A T.
THEWS Executive Vice Presi-
dent and Cashier of The East
Carolina Bank, in Engelhard,
retired last week after As years
of banking in eastern North
Carolina.
Matthews came to Hyde Coun-
ty from Sampson County in
1884 to become cashier of the
Engelhard Banking & Trust
Company. Previously he had had
II years of banking experience
in Pamlico County. At the time
Matthews joined the Engelhard
bank it's total assets were less
than $14O,OOO. Under his leader
ship they have grown to their
present figure of $4,5OO,000 and
two new branches have been
established.
Matthews has been known
over the years in the Engelhard
area as a promoter of better
farming opportunities as well as
an excellent banker. He has ini-
tiated support for better farm
programs through Fourth, FLA,
and other community and youth
organizations. He has also been
an outstanding figure in much Of
the waterfront development IN
and around Engelhard.
In addition to these activities
Matthews was a charter member
and first secretary of the Engel-
hard Rotary Club and was a
charter member and first presi-
dent of the Columbia Rotary
Club. Here he served a second
term as president in 1945. Last
year he received a citation for
Outstanding service rendered,
as Tyrrell chairman of the Red
Cross for 16 years.
His other activities include be-
ing treasurer of the Southern
Albemarle Association since it
was organized in 1885, serving
as Savings Bond sales chairman
for many years, and serving as
chairman of the Democratic
committee for Hyde County for
a number of years.
Matthews, who was SO on June
20 and retired on June 80, re-
called recently some of the hard
ships of the bank in the early
days. At one time there was a
lack of electricity, unpaved
roads, hand posting of accounts,
and a number of other incon-
veniences to be dealt with.
Although banking still, at
times, presents problems which
have to be solved, he noted,
many of these early ones have
long been solved by progress.
It was under his leadership
that the bank grew and became,
in 1945, the East Carolina Bank
with expanded facilities and
plans for future growth.
Through the years Matthews has
experienced such banking exper-
fences as servicing a branch by
jeep over unpaved and often al
most impossible roads, a thrill
ing bank robbery with eight
masked bandits, and a television
ending in which all were caught,
and an almost phenomenal
growth in banking business and
facilities.
Under Matthew'S leadership
the East Carolina Bank has paid
219K2 per cent cash dividends
since 1914 to it's stockholders,
and at the beginning of this
year it paid a stock dividend Of
200 percent. 1t has previously
paid a stock dividend of 100
percent in 1914.

1t has become a tenet of the
American faith that every gen.
Grafton should be better edu-
Gated than its predecessor. Un-
happily, it is becoming more
difficult to squeeze children
into the better colleges. 1t is
also becoming more expensive,
with the result that families
with over-extended budgets
must shove even their bright
est kids harder so they can
compete for the ever more val
liable scholarships. And fewer
companies will hire-or pro-
mote - executives who have
missed out on a college degree,
Not only is it un-suburban
to expect a child to march
into the world without a white
collar. It has also become un-
patriotic. Mr.. Khrushchev's
Sputnik made life tougher for

that many children are driven
towards unrealistic goals.
Where the main preoccupation
is child rearing, where the child
is the focus of attention and
the major concern Of both the
family and the community, it
may we'll be that a child's fail
ure to achieve is the greatest
threat to family integration."
Pressures Go Up
DR.. Dan w. Dodson of New
York University reviewed sim
liar surveys for the White
House Conference of Children
and Youth. The results, he re-
ported, do not suggest that
all the pressures to achieve, or
all the anxieties about college
placement are in the suburbs,
nor is it to say that other seq
ments of the population do not
also have great expectations
for their children. They do
mean that when q class be-
comes segregated into homo
genous neighborhoods where
roles must be validated by So
cial class peers, the pressures
are heightened and the con-
Germs mount"

school seniors go through
school with some hope of going
to college. The hopefuls in
cluded at least one boy in the
1860 class who had had serious
difficulty making a passing
grade in every one of his
courses for the two previous
years. Financial limitations
make 1t impossible for most
youngsters in this community
to keep up in this respect with
Highland Park or with Scars
dale, N. Y, where 95 per cent
Of the kids go to college, ac-
cording to recent tabulations.
Yet Al per cent Of those who
start out drop out the first
year because Of scholastic
problems.
Some youngsters who are
pushed beyond their capacities
become wrecks" sooner or
later. In Bellefontaine Neigh
bors one such boy committed
rape and then killed himself.
The more typical wrecking
process was vividly explained to
me by Mrs. Martha Winch of
the Highland Park Family
Service.
The 5reom Is Big
"You see, the dream is pretty
big out here" she said. Some
fathers who are hard-driving
executives set up pretty impos-
sible standards. Some are quite
intolerant of anything short of
spectacular success. The
achiever is more loved. Kids
come in here who're perfectly
all right, but they're indenti-
fled as failures"
One characteristic case in
volved a father who had strug-
gled hard to reach the top in
his field. He had two sons. One
boy did extraordinarily we'll. He
was the fathers pride. Every
time the father looked at him
he beamed. The boy was hold
ing up the family prestige and
satisfied the fathers own deep
need for his children to be sue
cessful. The other boy was not
as bright, but his father de-
manded that he, too, become a
top student. When the child
could not satisfy his dad, the
father withdrew his love. He
looked at the boys homework
and shouted, "This is nonsense
Do it over" The more the
father shouted, the less the boy
could do. He felt that his en-
tire family was ashamed OF
him.
A counselor discussed the
problem with the father. In

DR.. Dodson's assessment of
this trend is not reassuring
There is a growing concern
for what this indicates about
the values in such a society,""
he wrote. "It represents a seek

rather than a preoccupation
with study for the sake of aca-

Just as young kids know they
can revolt against their elders
by refusing to eat, older ones
quickly realize that they can
strike back at their parents by
flunking in school.
New York University's DR.,
Dodson found: Not infre-
quently, parental concern leads
to bribes, what some youths
are calling academic payola,
to get the children to work
harder in school. One New York

The most subversive crime
which a suburban child can
commit is to be average" Oh,
the calamity Of It'll He's just
got to be in the top reading
group" He's got to take extra
enrichment courses" after
school hours or in the summer.
He's got to 60 to a top college.
He's got to excel, lead, push,
Doesn't everybody?
Everybody certainly does -
in Suburbia.
I used to think of this in
tellectual marathon in terms Of
great expectations. But this is
far too mild to describe the
ambitions of many parents.
They're not expecting any
more" a school superintendent
said. They're demanding"
A grade : school principal
said: "The mothers are always
matching their children's
grades. Everything is all right
as long as somebody isn't push
ing ahead of their child"
A teacher said: "The children
all come and want to know:
Which reading group am / in?
Am / in the fastest?'"

tellectually, he could accept
that one of his sons was of
average intelligence. Emotion
ally, he couldn't. He resented
it and the child is now getting
help from a psychiatrist.
Psychiatrists told me that
children who are being pushed
too harshly become some Of
their most frustrating cases.
The roots of the parental de-
mands are frequently buried in
guilt or hostility feelings Of the
fathers. Some say to them
selves, Maybe I'm not spend
ing as much time with the
kids as I should, but at least
1 can get them to do well in
school," Others say, II worked
for everything I got, and my
kid isn't going to come by
everything so easy, either" The
hostility sometimes leads to ri
diculous punishments for poor
grades, The penalties have
been known to include with
drawal Of allowances or TV
privileges for periods of
months.
Pride q FoctoF?
Sometimes I don't think It's
as much an interest in the
child as it's the hurt Of the
parents PRIDE" one PSYCHE
artist said.
Under excessive pressure,
most children function far
worse than normally. They
may be overcome by resigna-
ton c'I can't be as good as
Dad or as good as he expects
me to beO. Or they may be
seized by fears working deeply
into their subconscious. C"I
mustn't be as good as Dad or
he'll destroy me.D
Some children, deliberately or
unconsciously, use, academic
failure as a weapon OF retalia-
