responsibility come many thou
sands of boys and girls who depend
almost solely upon the school for
the intellectual development which
determines, whether they are to be
assets~or liabilities in-the demo
cratic'society of which they are a
part. 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

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.

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 |

The amount of money spent for

only by' the number of - children
served and the standard of service

rendered, but also by the value of the ^ e s s j a h. Th ere W as a great con-

Each year at all levels as a re
sult of the increase in school pop
ulation the over-all cost oK educa
tion has necessarily mounted.
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.

things, that he was brought to
Jesus by Andrew. 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.
