SCHOOL NEWS.
JUST ENOUGH TO PASS.
There is always a tendency among
a few fn a group to think that just
enough work to pass is sufficient re
gardless of how it is done. This idea
has caused the failure in many at
tempts, as tljp usual result ,1s that not
quite enough to pass is done.
We should not allow ourselves to
accept this attitude, much less cultivate
it, as we can never achieve much by
means of it. We should be determined
to do everything we attempt, the very
best we can and to succeed in doing
as' much as possible, never Bhunning
anything that we could profit by doing.
By this we do not mean that we should
jump at every opportunity tot do some
thing but to keep as our slogan, “One
thing at a time and that done well.”
ThiB applies to every walk of life.
Take for example the student. In most
cases the pupil who fails in school is
the one who tries to get by by doing
just enough. These pupils are also
the men and women who in life never
sueceed. in reaching a goal above that
of the average, as the motto, "Just
enough to pass,” adopted in their youth
follows them into manhood and woman
hood. EDNA STEPHENS.

CHILDREN TODAY—CITIZENS
TOMORROW.
THE CHILD AND THE SCHOOL.
The center of the school is the child.
That is what the school is for,
The building, the teacher, the book,
all, should primarily serve • the wel
fare of the child.
The curriculum is not the main thing.
The child is.
If the curriculum is suited to the de
velopment of the child and helps the
child, it ie good. It should be helpful
to the child’s health, happiness and
character.
The school with the course of study
properly adjusted ought to afford the
child an opportunity for happy, joyous,
successful daily work. It ought to
afford an opportunity for the accumula
tion of useful information, and an op
portunity of good habits, refined tastes
and high ideals.
To have such a school for our chil-

It is a reflection upon our educa
tional system when we find so many
graduates of high'schools and colleges
lacking in the love of reading or the
habit of reading, and often lacking in
the ability to find the proper books to
help them continue their educational
and professional development after
leaving school. That person (It mat
ters not how many honors or degrees
the person has) Is imperfectly educat
ed who has not formed a habit of con
tinued and skillful use of books after
leaving school. Millions of people will
never go to college, will never attend a
hi^h school. Much of the education of
the people must come from the reading
of books outside of the regular school
textbooks.
Abraham Lincoln educated himself
by reading books at home.
Joel Chandler Harris—probably the
best known of all Georgia writers—se
cured his early education largely in
reading the books he found in the lib
rary on the Tumor plantation in Put
nam county.
The blind worship of the false gods
of education—marks, promotions, units,
credits, degrees—should be avoided.
The mechanical organization of the
school, the machinery of education, may
be needed, but the true educator will
always look beyond the machinery, be
yond the organization, beyond the cur
riculum, beyond the book, and see the
child.
Judge a school or college not alone
by its buildings, or propaganda, or pub
licity, or announcements or catalogue,
or curriculum, or faculty, bitt by its
products—the graduates. i
Is the product—the graduate—strong
and fine in health, in character, in
personality, in manners, in morals, In
tastes, in ideals, in patriotism, in co
operation, in courtesy, in refinement,
in usefulness and in adjustment to life
and life’s problems?
Every school should teach morals,
manners, health and citizenship (by ex
ample as well as by precept.)
“Character building is the teachers
greatest work * * * ”
“When a nation begins to neglect the
moral education of its children, it be
gins to decay.”
If the school or college fails to give
proper character training, then the
tax payer should protest and keep on
protesting until the moral tone of the
school is improved.
‘We must make our schools safe for
our children.”

CORN EXPORTS
INCREASING
Exports of com from the United
States for the first eight months of
1922 exceeded the Exports for the en->
tire year 1921 by 2,448,743 bushels,
according to figures compiled by the
United States Department of Agricul
ture. The total exports for 1921 were
128,974,505 bushels and for the first
eight months of 1922, 131,463,248 bush
els. These figures do not include corn
meal and corn flour, of which 452,766
barrels—the equivalent of 1,811,064
bushels of corn—were exported dur
ing the first eight months of 1922.
EDUCATION BOARD
(Of County Has Right to
Hire farm
Agents.
A county board of education Is au
thorized by law to employ a county
demonstration agent, a home economics
agent and a vocational agricultural
teacher, It was decided-Friday by the
supreme court in a teat case made In
Wilkes county.
But a county board of education is
not authorized by law to assign a
vocational agricultural teacher to a
high school belonging to the school
system of a city in the county, even
though pupils residing in the county
outside of the city are admitted to
such a high school, and even though
the city furnishes the room for such
teacher and the laboratory equipment,
etc., the court further held.
David N. Butler and S. A. Ware, tax
payers of Wilkes county, petitioned the
superior court to enjoin the county
board of education from employing the
above named. They contended that
the law codes does not authorize the
use of county school funds for such a
purpose. They further contended that
the Wilkes county board of education
was not authorized to assign the voca
tional agricultural teacher to the high
school of the city of Washington.
Judge 'Shirley granted an interlocu
tory injunction which the county board
appealed to the supreme court. The
court upholds the injunction as to the
assignment of the teacher to the city
high school but reverses it as to the
other question.
Fayetteville Scouts.
The Boy Scouts of Fayetteville have
renewed their interest in Scout work
Meetings are again being held once a
week and all Scouts are etriving to
make the Fayetteville troop better than
ever -before.
The troop has appointed a new assist
ant Scoutmaster to assist Scoutmaster
Byrd in the work. This is .Mr. A. M.
Bowen of the high school faeulty.
The troop enjoyed a hike and "sup
per out” about tfro weeks ago. The
Scoutmaster and Assistant Scoutmast
er together with the greater part of
the troop hiked to Flint river where
a big camp fire was made and supper
was cooked. After supper the boys
played games, toasted marshmallows,
and about nine o’clock hiked back to
town.
The Scouts have secured a room for
their meetings in the Hollingsworth
building. The boys have cleaned and
decorated their room. The citizens of
the town are invited to visit -this room
and see what their boys are doing.
City’s Average Need of Water.
American hydraulic engineer^, In
planning for a water snpply under the
present conditions, calculate upon the
basis of a daily consumption of 100
gallons per capita, with provisions te
meet an increased demand tn the near
future. For ordinary domestic pur-
poses i the requirements average twen
ty gallons per capita.
HIGH LIGHTS
ON HIGHWAYS
The Bureau of Public Roads of the
United States Department of Agricul
ture states that there are enough motor
vehicles in the United States to take
the entire population for a ride at one
time.
How climate affects the highway-
working season is shown by the fact
that grading can be done on 100 days
of the yeaf- in western Oregon, 110 in
Maine, 260 in Maryland, and 300 in
several of the Southern states.
Federal-aid roads placed under con
struction in September amounted to
1,189 miles.
At the beginning of 1922 there were
4.2 motor vehicles for each mile of road
in the United States.
From 19 to 35 per cent per hour is
the range of wages for common labor
on Federal-aid roads east of the Rocky
Mountains, with few exceptions, where
as high as 43 cents is paid.
One hundred an& twenty vehicles a
minute was the rate at which motor
vehicles passed an observing station on
a trunk-line highway in Massachusetts,
according to/ the BuYeau of Public
Roads of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. This rate was
kept up from noon to 10 p. m.
Recently a tourist in passing through
four States was required to buy four
different sets of lenses in order that
his headlights would comply with State
laws. More uniformity in highway
regulation is needed.
High School Wins
The Fourth Straight
In a close hard-fouglit and exciting
basketball game Fayetteville defeated
Star High school on Friday, November
24. Fayetteville had the advantage in
the first half and scored seven points
to Star High’s two. In the second half
Star High came back strong and would
have won but for Fayetteville’s early-
lead. In the last minute of the game
with Star High leading by one point
Evans made a shot from mid-court
which) put Fayetteville in the lead.
The game ended with the score 9 to S
in favor of Fayetteville.

Smith and McLean played well.

guest in hope that he will burn his
bridge behind him.
"The Blues.”
This phrase, descriptive of moods of
depression or melancholy, has an in
teresting origin. It was formerly be
lieved that working with Indigo dyes
caused tits of melancholy, as the chem
ical worked on the system through the
skin. As the dyers were nearly nl-
ways stained blue in r s of their
bodies, the phrase came into current
use to express low spirits or moodi
ness.
