he do what he can toward raising the
prices of flue-cured tobacco sold on

Prices are lower than last year. ! <

PAKAX.YS1S SCAItE OVER
The infantile paralysis scare has
subsided in North Carolina, front
page stories daily giving way to occasional
inside paragraphs. However,
the schools of the State, now opening,
will average two or three weeks later
in beginning than formerly. Openings
are controlled by the local school
boards, subject to approval of local
and State health authorities Tn a few

openings, but shipments of books
have been going out under the rental
plan for two or three weeks and children
of the State will all be supplied
within the next few weeks. All, or
about all of the schools are expected
to be running before the end of the
month. The delay will cause them to
tun that much longer in the spring,
most of them ending the school year
in Hay.

Bethel High School
Has a Good Opening
Bethel High School opened August!
29th with an enrollment of 68 high |
school students and 130 in the grades. 1
So far, the average is sufficiently
large to secure another teacher. The
people are looking forward toward
the erection of a new school building
which is so badly needed.
The school spirit among both the
students and patrons, so far seems to)
be splendid. So far as is possible, thel
honor system is being adopted among ..
tile high school students. While it is |
assumed that the students will do
good work in their text books, the
main thing that is stressed under this
system is purely and simply "good
behavior." Those who shall be eligible
to get on the honor roll at the
end of each month and whose names
shall be published will be divided into
two cIhsscs. First, those who measure
up to the standard, both in their
studies and in their conduct. Second,
those who make an honest effort in
their studies and may not be able to
make the grades, but who do make
good in deportment.
Critics will be appointed from
among the high school students to
report at chapel each Friday such
tilings as are thought to be helpful
to the school.
Efforts are going to be made to
secure playground equipment so that
every child in school will have an
opportunity to play at the recesses
and at the neon hour.
At a later date the Newspaper Club
and Literary Society will be organized.
