Monday afternoon the first part of
the program was cpntributed by the
Gamble Concert Company, a trio of
musicians of exceptionally artistic
ability. The pianist and singer fur
nished able support to the violinist
who was the Strength of the company.
Her interpretative, skill and brilliant
execution gave her a distinctive place
in the world «f music. This musical
virtuoso—for such'she is—convinced
her hearers that a violin is not an
“inanimate thing” and that it . does
possess, not perhaps a soul, but
something that vibrates in response
to a soul that speaks to it through a
touch. Dr. Culp followed the musi
cians with an address, his subject for
the afternoon being “The Soul of a
Child.” The speaker brought to
light many interesting and . psycho
logical trilfhs in his discussion of. a
child and its limitations. Those who
followed Dr. Culp in his afternoon
and evening lectures were given a
new insight into child life. The inti
mate knowledge he had of his sub
ject showed that in

I The time {me come for a forward
tovement in educational work in
>ly coflnty. We begin this week
educational 'campaign such as has
ever before been made in this coun
ty. We are gping to discuss all ques
tions that bear upon progress in edu-
■ mal matters, having- as 'the ob-
in view county-wide tax for our
tools, realizing the fact that this is
only possibls way of building up
our schools to that high stand
ard Which will prepare our boys and
girls for the important and impera
tive dstaila that will soon rest upon
them..
We know the people of Dooly coun
ty are progressive in educational mat
ters. Many districts in the county
have shown this by voting local tax
to support their schools. But cer
tainly this is not the best plan. The
schools in.these various local tax dis
tricts are better than others where
they are not supported by local tax’,
yet they arc not what they ought to
be and never will be until we get the
county unit when they can be sup
ported, by the whole county.
I am. sure there are some people
who oppose local tax because they
really do. not know what it means
and do not care to investigate! A very
careful investigation should be made
of this question by every voter. It
is an awful responsibility to oppose
, measures looking to the betterment
ojLachobisr without making an inves-
■ tigation. This matter should receive
as careful study as the business men
gives to a manufacturing enterprise
in which he is about to invest his
money.
Reader, what do you think of a

how tnany of those whom you have

think that they can teach school—
possibly one out of five hundred can.
To let h good teacher slip through

Let Us notice some of the benefits
derived.from local tax: .-’•'V'''

you any idea how much you/lost
year by reason of your lack in these
lines? ’
(2) i The parents will be benefited
by more obedient, intelligent, content
ed children; for as the intellectual and
social atmosphere of your community,
is made better and purer so will your
cbildreif be more capable of building
up the Wasted places. Homo will be
happier—Ilcaven will be nearer. You
have nd possible means of estimating
yours and your neighbors’ losses oh
these libes in the past
(3) The individual will be, benc-
fitted, Dr. Thomkins tells us that our
earning:,capacity is increased twelve
and one-hslf .times by . a common
school education; and twenty-five
times by a high school education. .
It is rightly said'that the next di-
vinept tljing in the world to creating
a humaqi soul is educating..iLaright.'
Wo may . compute the value .of gold
and silver because'they* are esru3y ;
and perishable, but by, what "system
of mathematics can to compute .the,
value of that electric spark of intel
lect'that is destined to live and glow
and radiate, when the heavens and.the
earth shall have passed away? The
question of the man of Galilee ijs an
pertinent today as when he spoke "it
nineteen centuries ago: “Foi* what'
shall it profit a man if he, gain- the
whole World and lose his own soul, or
cused until the hour of Considering
the verdict. I do not care to hear
the evidence, and the argument of the
lawyers, nor the judges charge; my
mind is made up already.”
Some men oppose local, tax who
know less about the matter than this
juror did of the case he was to pass
judgment upon.
(1) Many of our school houses
are inferior buildings with almost no
equipment. There are a few school
houses In the county which are a
credit to the neighborhoods in which
they are situated, but many—too
'many—do not afford comfortable
shelter for children. '
(2) The school term is too short.
(3) Better salaries need to be
paid to secure and keep the best tal-
'pnt ss teachers. You may improve
your school, building until everyone
is a model of its kind; you may length
en the school term nntil nothing is
ta he desired, but without the vital
to assist in giving a verdict, and who
said to the judge, “May it please what shell aman give in exchange fori
iSir honor, rbh6ata r ltkB' i .f(? Be'cx- his soul?” . G
(4) The entire' community will

people and ithose things which go to-
make that ( neighborhood desirable
as, a residential'section to the best
.and most-law 'abiding, citizens. If
you try you will sie how hard it is to
get a good family to movo into a
community where there are no schools
privileges,- or very*poor ones.
Do not fear the cost of good schools
bnt rather fear tho conditions which
will surely take hold of us without
them. There are many things worse

BUSYRECRUITING
THOSE UNABLE %OCO SHOULD

WARDS ENLISTING MEN. ,
‘liji;;',/sHg
The most valuable service that
those unable to enlist themselves can
perform for their country at the pres
ent time is to get men enlisted in the
Navy. While it ia important to get
iqen for other branches of the aer-
in an appropriate and most impress- vice, the need of the Navy for en
listed men is immediate. Owing to
the shortage of officers and men of
the regular Nayy, it is a physical im
possibility for the Navy to recruit
the men heeded with the requisite
speed. It is impossible for the Navy
Department; to furnish recruiting lit
erature, posters, pamphlets, etc., fast
enough. It is therefore necessary
that thousands of patriotic people,
both men and women, who wish to
help their country at the present time,
take steps to obtain men for the nav*y.
i' Doctors can render, valuable service
by volunteering to conduct prelimi
nary examinations at the home of.'the
