?T t . -i Schools Are Now Actively At Work In General Improvement Campaign In the "School Note*" published below. Miss Myrtle Swindell, Home Demonstration agent, tells of the work being done at several schools in Hertford County. Miss Swindell sayi she has no doubt other schools in the county are doing equally as fine work. However, she has not been able to ac tively plan and work with all the schools. Active club organisations have perfected at the schools mentioned below and are visited periodically by Miss Swindell who has had an oppor tunity to observe the work done. The subject she is stressing now is the function of food in the body, the classification of the Ave food nutri ents, and reasons for menu planning. These lessons will be made in book lets and exhibited at the county com mencement Son* School Note* (By Miss Myrtle Swindell) Mrs. Janie Susiter Holloman, prin cipal of Woodrow school, reports she has begun a correspondence with J. Van Lindley in regard to improve ment of school grounds. She has started a canvas for library books and was one of the first teachers of the county to send in compositions on the subject of "School Improvement." She has also sold lead pencils for the purpose of buying a basket ball and the children are at present enjoying that game. Mrs. E. U. Sumner, principal of Oak Grove School, has sent in com positions in response to the call from both demonstration agents who have asked the county schools to assist in an "Improvement Campaign." Mrs. Sumner has asked the two agents to come to her school to organise clubs. Miss Leona Harris, first grade teacher in Winton School staged a health play before the faculty and students of the Winton High school recently, which received much praise from those who enjoyed the privilege of seeing it Miss Elisabeth Spivey, principal of Holly Springs school has recently pur chased a basket ball and the children enjoy that game at every recess per iod. Miss Spivy has splendid literary programs in her Literary Society which meets every Friday afternoon. Professor Salter, principal of Christian Harbor School, gives mili tary drills every day and marches the students in and out of the building at each recess by the beat of a drum. Professor Salter also assured the Home Demonstration Agent of his hearty support along all lines of demonstration work. Miss Hazel Montague, principal of Harellsville school, has installed play ground equipment and also gives the Home Demonstrator a hearty wel come when she comes around to teach a lesson in foods. Miss Mary Parham, principal of Murfreesboro school always gives a period for a "Food Lesson" and the papers handed in to the Demonstra tion Agent reflect much credit to Miss Parham. She is planning, with great interest, to make the grounds around the new school building as neat as her students' work always looks. FEW PERSONS ATTEND SCHOOL GATHERING Probably not more than fifty persons responded to the call of the trustees of the Ahoslde High School, for a mass meeting last Friday night Those attending were manifestly interested in seeing a more modern school plant erected here?one that would take care of the present overflow and provide for future school years. r Professor K. T. Raynor gave some figures showing the enroll ment in the school, and predicted at least 350 next year. Every room, he said, was crowded this year, and a portion of the audi torium cut up for class rooms. It was the unanimous opinion of all present that Dr. E. C. Brooks, state superintendent of Education, be invited to Ahoe kie at the earliest possible data, and make an addreaa before the citineas of the school district, looking to a eolation of the pres ent problem.

Beasley and BILLS AWAITING ACTION (Continued from page 1) the sum of twenty-five cents to juroni in J. P. courts, end notwithstanding that on# summons as such juror had to go several miles to attend such court and sometimes stay there near ly all day, hie fee as juror was only twenty-flve cents. The new bills increases the fee to fifty cents, and even more would have been inserted in the bill but for reason, as other committee members concurred, would make the costs of a jury trial so heavy as to defeat all jury trials in these courts. Further legislation is needed to cure this de fect but time is now too short to accomplish anything of this nature. The bill is now on the Calendar and has not been reached. Bill (8), relating to the courts of Hertford county, simply removes a conflict of courts between Hertford and Northampton County. The August terms of Hertford and Northampton, under the present law, are fixed for the same week. The new bill removes this conflict, and provides that the Hertford Court will hereafter be held on the last Monday in July. This hill has already pass ed the House. Bill (4) amending the charter of, Murfreesboro, was introduced at the' request of the board of commission ers of Murfreesboro. It will enable; the town commissioners to sell any street or streets that have been aban doned or discontinued by the town for such purposes. The primary ob ject of which is to enable the town authorities to open or extend Elm Street to Spring Avenue, and if this is done, the present street of the town that runs across the old "Fair Grounds" property, will be of no value os > street and may be sold by the town. This bill also prevents the town from issuing any bonds, except in the anticipation of taxes to be collected, without a vote of the people. The bill has passed the House and is now in the Senate. Bill (5), to enable Como school to borrow money, was erroneously pub lished in the papers as a bill to per mit Hertford County to borrow money. There is no such power in the bill. It authorises Como school district trustees, with the concurrence of the Board of Education, to borrow 9300.00 for school purposes, and provides for repayment of same in ten years, or $300.00 and interest annually for ten years, and a special tax levy in the school district to meet this debt. The new board of education for Hertford County will be composed of its present members which are Messrs. John E. Vann, B. G. Wil liams, and G. C. Picot Boards of Education, under the new school law, may hereafter be elected by the people, i ^ . ~ " T ~ I ~ I 1 _ .
