DR. HIGHSHTH THINKS SCHOOL NEEDS ACREAQ At Conference With Ahoeki< Trustees Plans For Enlarge ment Discussed Dr. J. Henry Highsmith, sup ervisor of high schools in Nortl Carolina, came to Ahoskii Tuesday afternoon for a con ference with the trustees of thi Ahoskie Graded School Dia rict. A meeting was held tha night, and plans for the en largement of the school plan here were discussed freely anc openly. Dr. Highsmith, who is thor oughly familiar with educa tion conditions here and ii Hertford County, recommend ed to the trustees the purchast of at least 20 acres of land, be longing to the estate recentlj sold under mortgage and held by S. W. McKeel, and the erect ion of a modern school plant, ranging in cost from $75,000 tc $100,000. This suggested plan would else carry with it the enlargement of the present boundaries of the district and the taking in of a five-mile radius. This would bring into the district a large area for taxation to support the school, and at the same time provide equal advantages for the children of school age within the added territory. The building of good roads will help out this program of expansion. Dr. Highsmith pointed out that it was practically useless to do any thing less than provide for several years to come; and he called atten tion to the great strides that had already been made at other places. A playground of ample proportions, and construction of suitable build ings were two things practically im practicable so long as the school plant Is located as at present, he said. With his proposal, be also suggest ed that the school buy the entire tract of land, develop that part it needed, and sell the remainder. His proposi tion met with favor from some of the trustees, and a conference was sought with the county board of education Wednesday, without any apparent success, te ask for aid in finances. What course the trustees here ex pect to pursue has not been definitely decided, although the sentiment pre vails that the Ahoskie school plant should be .materially enlarged. The county board of education will be asked to come to the aid of the school and extend a share of its rev enue to the Ahoskie school, which has never received proper consideration at its hands, so state one or two members of the board here.

" '-^sSStH Big Social Event At Nearby Town s Of interest to tlie people of Ahoe kie will be the following newspapei account of a social event given ai Rocky Mount last Saturday after noon. This was clipped from stab - papers of last Sunday: 1 "Mrs. Wm. E. Fanner entertainec g at bridge this afternoon at her hora< on Falls Road, announcing the en gagement and forthcoming marriagi s of Miss Lou Spencer Avent, of thii - city, and Mr. Frank P. Meadows, ol t Ahoskie, N. C. Mrs. Fenner, be . comingiy gowned in black drapec ( crepe, received her gueats at th< door. "Ten tables were arranged in th< spacious reception and living roomi _ of the Fenner home, which was at tractively decorated for the occasior with roses and spring flowers. Guesti 1 for bridge included members of the - younger social set and a number ol i the younger matrons. Following the . cards, members of the Avent family r and other relatives arrived and a salad and ice course was served. "The engagement of the popular couple was made known by attract > ive little cupid cards, concealed in i the napery. These cards read: An nouncing the engagement of Lou t Spencer and Frank, June 26th-'2S. t After the announcement, the guests were invited into the dining room, where the formal eutting of the bride's cake was held. "Miss Avent was beautifully gowned in blue chiffon cloth, sown with iridescent beads, and wore a black picture hat and a corsage of roses. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Maurice Avent, the former a leading business man of the city, among North Carolina's oldest families. Miss Avent attended St Mary's School, finishing in piano, and is one of the city's iflost charming, cultured and popular young ladies. Mr. Meadows, formerly of Durham and Rocky Mount is widely known throughout Eastern Carolina and is deservedly popular socially and in business. He is now a resident of Ahoskie, and is secretary of the Ahos kie Chamber of Commerce and the Hertford County Building and Loan Association. "The marriage will be one of the leading social events of the early summer and interest throughout the FARM DRUDGERY LESS 300,000 Farms Lightening Work by Electrical Means. Oa Others Women Carry an A versos of Forty-five Tons of Water Every Yaar. Old fashioned drudgery without say social compensation is decreasing among the farms of America. This can bo positively stated after examin ing a survey of farms made by elec trical Interests. The Chief revelation of that surrey was that one-tenth of all the farms of the United States are equipped for electrical operation. It sounds significant to say that MO.OdO farms are now "doing it elec trically." But it sounds even more significant to state that there are 1,700,000 other farms where electricity Is unknown. On these latter the old burdens are borne in the old way. The women feel them probably more than the men. Any farm woman who has reached middle lite and who has never had an electrical appliance in her house knows how drudgery can kill the spirit The investigation mentioned brought out certain information. It was found that II per cent of the farm women on anelectrifled farms carry water from the well every day and average about forty-five tons of water a year. Often the women aselst in the dairy work of the farm, and M per cent of them wash the milk pel la. while IB per cent clean the cream separators. In their dally housework?the same sort of work that city housewives per form? #4 par cent of the woman do their own baking and *6 per cent of them do their own sewing. They cannot fall back upon the con venient corner bakery or grocery for a loaf of bread er a dosea or so of rolls. Neither can they readily call in a dressmaker when they want to have new clothes. And on moat farm a the noonday meal la the big meal of the day. representing an appalling amount of labor. Then, if ever, they need a power aside from their own hands If black drudgery is to be overcame. On farma where electric power hea been put to mark the story is not what It need to be. And the spread of the electrical idea among farmers Is brightening the future far young (arm wives tost "setting up" with their baa bands, so that thooa young woman may avoid the bowed banks and un timely traoes of advancing age which their mothers and their grandmothers suffered The now emancipation, meet sbnarv I era will say. la gtdng to come among . those 1.7M.M0 farms where slsstrleHj baa not yet taken up Its ate da .
