Charlotte, N. C., July 18.—Econo
mists of the Fifth District Federal
Reserve Bank consider the Caro-
linas and othei* states in this dis
trict are relatively strongly en
trenched to resist a possible reces
sion in business.
The Carolinas’ economy is dom
inated by industries manufacturing
non-durable, or “soft,” goods, par
ticularly textiles.
The Reserve Bank’s economists
in their “Monthly Review” for July
commented: “In a recession era,
the district’s total non-agricultural
employment level could be expect
ed to hold up as well, or better
than that nationally.”
Furthermore, the “Monthly Re
view said: “A general business
recession in the nature of that in
consequence on the employment of
1949 probably would have no more
non-durable manufacturing indus
tries than it had in that year and
maybe less.”
“In that (1949) moderate reces
sion non-durable goods industries
in this district showed an employ-,
ent reduction from peak to trough
of approximately 7 per cent. This
decline was accentuated in part by
an inventory readjustment, and a
readjustment at this tiihe might not
be affected to the same extent by
inventory as it was in 1949.”
Furthermore, the “Monthly Re
view” pointed out that “there has
been considerable growth in the
apparel segment of the textile in
dustries and this uptrend still is in
evidence.”
Only a few segments of the dis
trict’s employment level were re
garded by the Reserve Bank’s
economists as “somewhat vulner
able to recession.” Particularly
mentioned were shipyards, machin
ery industries, and construction.
(Shipyards are of minor direct
consequence upon the Carolinas
economy.) <
Expansion Retarded
The Fifth District Bank, which
has a branch in Charlotte, sug
gested that plant expansion for the
textile industry will be severely
retarded over the predictable fu
ture.
(Textile industry statisticians fig
ure that from Jan. 1, 1950, through
June 30, this year, the textile in
dustry nationally expended $1,528,-
000,000 for expansions—and about
half of that industry is located in
the Carolinas, the area of great-
ment.)
jest recent.textile mdustry deYelop-
However, regarding textile in--
I dustry expansion prospects, the
“Monthly Review”, recieved here
today, said: “In view of current
narrow profit margins in the tex-
; tile industry, and the fact that ca
pacity is more than adequate for
current needs, it is doubtful, that
much new plant construction will
! be witnessed in the near future.”
Concerning "possibilities” of a
recession, the “Monthly Review”
commented: “Opinion on the busi
ness outlook at the present time is
| divided, as it usually is, but ma
jority opinion seems to anticipate
some setback from current levels,
whether late in 1953 or deferred
to 1954. The differences of opinion
are mainly over the degree of set
back. Most industrialists who are
expressing opinions seem to think
any future decline will be very
moderate.”

4. Ignoring religion in the cours
es of study. ,
Dr. Gaines, who spent four
years in Greenville when his father,
Dr. Francis Pendltton Gaines, now
president of Washington and Lee
university, was on the faculty of
Furman University, predicted that
unless these trends are halted edu
cation in this country will be prac
tically destroyed.
The tendency of schools to let
students gaze out of windows,
study what they want to when they
want to was deplored. Lack of dis
cipline in the classrooms and on
campuses drew the speaker’s fire.
He urged a return to the old-fash
ioned program of teaching childen
the multiplication tables.
A few years ago Richmond mer
chants hired several hundred high
school students to work in the
stores at Christmas. Special classes
had to be held for 80 per cent of
them to teach them how to make
change for $20 bills, Dr. Gaines
said.
Passing all students, regardless
of the grades they make is bad for
all concerned, the Kiwanians were
told. The brighter students feel,
“Oh, what’s the use. They will pass
me whether I study or not, just as
they pass the dumbest in the class.”
The poor students feel that they
will be advanced regardless of their
marks and in addition it gives them
the idea that the government owes
them a living, regardless of wheth
er they are able to earn one, the
speaker said.
A Gallop poll of a few years ago
was cited. About 85 per cent of high
school students said they were in
favor of the government furnishing
them jobs if they could not obtain
work otherwise.
Giving all students the same ed
ucation was scored. It kills the in
itiative of many and is producing
more technological experts than
thinkers, Dr. Gaines said. He urged
that equal opportunity for educa
tion for all be provided but that
students with different talents be
permitted to take the course they
prefer. The idea, he said, is to pro
duce thinkers.
Assembly line education was
blamed for the lack of leadership
now being felt in the United States.
Religion is being ignored in most
schools. In many institutions you
cannot take an hour of Bible but
you can take hundreds of hours of
chemistry, the club was told. The
nation is the principal sufferer
from this, he pointed out.
