Beginning this year they are to get up to five days paid sick leave a year. Such benefits are deserved indeed, necessary to induce many teachers to remain in the North Carolina system. The state loses too many of its teaching graduates each year to other states oftering more attractive benefits. Concerning the dropouts, Superintendent of Public Instruction Charles F.

Carroll has a word of warning: "To quit school is to invite a lifetime of regrets and disappointments." All school children may not agree with the oft-stated sentiments of the adult that school days are the happiest of one's life. of Constitutional rights.

For many thousands, it will mark the beginning of a new, wondrous world those youngsters entering school for the first time.

For others it will be the beginning of their final year in public schools then on to college or the workaday world. But there is also a somber note: public school officials predict that all too many students will drop out of school. Last year 24,402 dropouts were reported in North Carolina schools. By next week the state's school system will be in full swing. Total enrollment will reach 1,180,000, an increase of 20,000 over last year.

This is a big task for North Carolina. Public instruction is big business, calling for expenditures of vast sums of tax money. On hand to meet this challenge are 43,600 teachers, about 2,320 more than last year. For the teachers, a few changes have been made: they wall get a $15 a month raise and will receive paid sick leave for the first time. In the past, when teachers were out because of illness, it' cost them But it is usually true.

Coupled with the excitement of school days, one can also find ftrer (indeed, he should find the time) to examine the course of his future and attempt to determine if possible what his life's goals are to be. By attempting to chart a course American Negroes, knows that a real Negro "revolt" could succeed only if it were supported by at least half of the white people.

Otherwise talk of a revolution worse off than before.

The March on Rome succeeded because it was unopposed. Part of the Italian government was secretly in sympathy ith the marchers the King, for example'; another part lost its nerve.

But for thos-j who were around, the years will never erase the events of that momentous week of Sept. 1, 1939. In the early dawn hours of Sept. 1 Hitler launched his German Army across the Polish border.

In his No. 1 Order of the Day, he declared: "Now that all the political possibilities and peaceful means are exhaust- ed, I have determined on a solution by force." Great Britain and France swiftly followed suit by declaring war on Sept. 3. That week, which seemed so inevitable, was a long time coming. It climaxed a decade of maneuvering, bickering, negotiating," doubts, fears, lies, threats, double dealing and back stabbing.

A foreign creditor is willing to hold our dollars instead of demanding gold so long as he sees nothing occurring that might impair the value of those dollars. But when he sees the parade of administration deficits totaling over $20 billion since 1961, a foreign creditor worries about the inflation potential and he demands gold to play safe. In short the foreign creditor is disturbed over the dangers posed by continued U.S.

Basically, the dilemma concerns too much paper and not enough gold in reserve to back it up.

Ironically, we possess about a third of the world's gold about billion but that is not enough to support the value of our paper obligations. Law requires that the Federal Reserve hold gold equal in value to 25 per cent of its notes and deposit liabilities (about. $48 billion). At present, $12 billion of this 515.5 billion legally must be held for this. That leaves about $3.5 billion to meet demands for payments to foreign holders of U.S.

short-term Overseas, holdings -against the $3.5 billion in ''free gold" today amount to more than $20 billion, about $16.5 billion more than we can meet. All that keeps European banks from demanding payment is gold is their confidence in the soundness of the dollar. Should that confidence be shaken there could be a "run" on our gold supplies which could force either repeal of the requirement that the Federal Reserve' keep on hand gold equal to 25 per cent of domestic paper holdings, or devaluation of the dollar by increasing the price of gold or both. Causing the present scare in financial circles is a growing awareness of the Kennedy administration's obvious inability to solve any of the problems which have created the crisis: a growing deficit in our balance of payments; an adamant refusal to cut back federal spending; open encouragement of a mushrooming U.S. bureaucracy overseas; mishandling of foreign aid programs, and proposals which already have caused great concern in come foreign exchanges and have increased European suspicions that we are about to devalue te dollar.
