The school must adapt its sendees to differing needs of pupils. The ideal educational opportuni ty provides for an understanding of the needs and abilities of each pupil. Classes must be small enough to permit the teacher to acquire such an understanding, and to out line for pupils as individuals the education suited to their mental growth. Reducing the teacher load calls .for more money for salaries for additional teachers and more classrdqms. The foregoing description of the rapidly increasing school popula tion and the changing character of education offers evidence that the cost of the American schools will continue to mount, unless educa tional opportunity is to be restrict ed in quality and scope or limited to a privileged few; Either alterna tive is inconsistent with the prin ciple of democratic government and a deterrent to the productive capacity and scientific achievement for which the United States has is available for ALL youth the very structure of our national life will be weakened. Moreover, if the present international crisis con tinues over a period of years, as seems most certain, the defense effort itself will be impaired by the lack of educated citizens. All of which proves, 'it seems to me, that education is a top priority. Six-Inch Sermon By REV. ROBERT H. HARPER FINDING THE CHRIST Lesson for January 6. John 1:35- 49. Golden Text: John 1:41 In the first quarter of 1952 our lessons concern the early followers j of Jesus. Among..the first were two young, men who~Tiad heard John the Baptist call Jesus the "Lamb of NGod." These two followed Jesus, j won a world-recognized position or and asked him where he . dwelt., Jesus invited them home ^ith him and they spent the day in the Lord’s presence. - ^ • One of the two sought his own | Ibrother, Simon, afterward -called Peter, and told him he had found R.

The amount of money spent for education will be determined no only by' the number of - children served and the standard of service 4 rendered, but also by the value of the ^ e s s j a h.

There is no escaping the Obliga tion. The benefits are so broad as to defy accounting. Decade by dec ade the schools have provided the skill for military defense when needed and the technical ability at all time for the most magnificent development in industrial produc tion which the world has ever seen. . • A highly technical civilization re quires that all children go to school, that they stay in school longer. Rise in expenditure for education is inevitable. A 'measure of ability to pay for schools is the ratio of expenditure for education to the national in come. In 1932 the national-income was 75 billion dollars. About 3.1 percent of that income was spent for all the costs of public elemen tary and secondary schools. In 1930 we spent 3.1 percent of pur national income for schools. Beginning with 1934 the national income rose slowly for seven years and then spurted ahead at a rapid rate. It reached 239 billion dollars m 1950 with just 1.9 percent spent for schools In 1949, total expenditures for public schools—current expenses jd new buildings—were about billltm-dollars. In the same year the nation spetrt^4V4 billion dollars for tobacco: nearly 8 billion dollars for alcoholic beverages; and nearly billion dollars for admissldns^ to amusements. A people who expend for luxury items in one year nearly three times the cost of schools!,\can promote more adequately for ed- .ucstipn. " Education—A Top Priority r Rublic education has played a major role in developing a great America. In the years, past, the pub lic elementary and secondary schools haveT^ poured into the stream of American life a great body of young citizens—young men women whd have been pre pared In skills, knowledge and • ideab to accept their responsibil- as useful citizens in a democ racy. The basic educational train jpg thus received by a fair share of our clriidren. (more than in any other country) l«is enabled America to become a world leader in indus try, agriculture, commerce, and high standards of living.

This man seemed to have the happy faculty of being able to introduce men to Jesus. The following day Jesus saw Philip, who was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter, and he said unto Philip "Follow me.” Philip found Nathaneal and said unto him: “We have found him of whom Moses in the law and the prophets wrote, Jesus of Nazareth, j the son of Joseph.” We find that the early followers! of Jesus were men of diverse tal- j ents. This shows that Jesus came to save all men and can use every ! man. So can he use us today if we 1 trust in him sincerely and give ourselves freely to' his service. . Insurance Plan Made Available For Belk Employees A new group insurance plan has been made available for employees of the Belk stores it is announced. 1 Under this plan, each full time employee with one year of service will receive $2,000 ‘worth - of life insurance along ‘with liberal hos pital and surgical benefits. The hospital benefits consist of $8 a day allowance on room costs and $60 for extra hospital charges. The surgical benefit schedule ranges upward to $150.00; and it is plained that the entire cost of this program is paid by the Belk com- j pany. The plan, which will be made available to all Belk • stores, is a result of the consolidation of many life and hospital insurance pro rams which were carried under more than 30 different plans. D. B. Smith, manager of the Belk store here, said that after a thor ough study of employee needs, it was decided that^a consolidation and standardization of employee benefits would be most beneficial' to employees. Under the new group program, the life insurance coverage has been underwritten by the Securi ty Life and Trust Co., of Winston- Salem and the hospital and surgi cal benefits by the Liberty Mutual Insurance Co., of Boston, Mass. The two companies, Mr. Smith have worked together with sonnel of the Belk SUunff Insur ance Department to^rrake available to !the Belk stores a coverage for employees^^which they believe is secortfMio none in the mercantile in the liberal benefits pro vided. -•to , SAT: 1 SAW IT IN THE 'T Jim Dandy GRITS WILSON’S MOR Lima Beans LUNCH MEAT REDGATE GREEN & WHITE 2 JEWEL Shortening COFFEE CHASE & SANBORN' BEEF HASH Paper NAPKINS ARMOUR’S CORNED MARCAL 5-LB.
