SCHOOL NOTES.
It seems that the most of the
schools desire to open September 15tli
or later, instead of on that date or
earlier. As I said I wish that the b<
High Schools could open on different ti
dates in order that they may not close V!
at the same time.
Please remember the date of the hi
first Teachers' Meeting,?Saturday, m
September 13 for white teachers and fi:
Saturday September 20 for colored V*
teachers. Also the High School Prin- M
cipals' Meeting .on September 6th. Dr. ai
J. Henry Highsmith will meet with g
the High School Principals on Sep- ai
tember 9th unless a change is made. e<

A Glimpse of the Eastern
p
It was recently my good fortune to
s in the Eastern Association at the
me of the annual meeting of their'
r. m. u.
Miss Macy Cox, who for some time
is been vice-president of the Wil-,
lington division, has just closed her!
tteenth year as superintendent of
Toman's Work in the Eastern. Miss
acy is a marvel of resourcefulness
id efficiency; the impulse she has
iven to missions in her association
id the state can hardly be estimatI.
The Eastern is composed of thirty :
lurches, half as many again as the
eulah. It is wonderfully missionary
inded. The little country church I
:tended on Sunday has recently givi
four missionaries to the foreign
sld. AS I sat in the W. M. U. Meetg
I was surrounded by people whom
le Great Commission "Go ye" has
itimately touched, people who have
>t only given their means and their
rayers all their lives, but have given
iemselve3 and tfieir~best beloved. By
y side sat the sister of Gordon Mideton,
now serving at Kaifeng, China;
rs. Anderson herself has served for
iars in China, and her work there,
terrupted by sickness and death,
ill be taken up again as soon as posble.
In front of me were a sister of
srlyle Powell, one of our mission*
ies to Africa, and two volunteers, .
ie now in training' and the other f
aching in a mountain school till contions
allow her going to the foreign
sld. From over the pulpit a beauti- ,
.1 portrait of Katie Murray, who
ent out two years ago, smiled a
reet benediction upon the gatherg.
All these are Eastern Associa- *
>n people. Their fathers and mothers h
?re present at the meeting, and their
iters and brothers; and one could P
>t keep feeling the very atmosphere
pout them turning with wholesome h
y in service. ' *
I thought of Beulah, dear old a
mlah, and our people there; and-i
aged for the day when their" light; I'
o, should be set on a hill, and shine
us gloriously to the uttermost parts
the earth. 0
For years the Eastern has support- d'
a Missionary in China, and several
holarships at the Training School.

;hers, 223, and the.number of young
ople enlisted, and present at the
eeting. The definite activities of the 8
lion impressed me. Three showers
mountain schools were presented
at day, curtains, table cloths, scarfs,
pking utensils, all kinds of useful
ings a boarding school has to have.
lese articles made a brave array ir
nging on clothes lines on each side a!
the church. The women's societies T
owe red one school, the sunbeam? st
lother, and the R. A,'s, G. A.'s, and m
W, A.'s the other. Such a pervad- ol
g spirit of happiness was every- cc
here, for almost everybody present
d done something to make the gift? 1

North Carolina that has outgrown cc

* INTERESTING DOCUMENTS.
?o?
The speeches of acceptance by the
omineea for President are very investing
documents. Mr. Cooling* is
pungent writer and has the rare
ift of saying what he wants to say
i the fewest words. However he is
ell known to the country and the
lief interest centers around the
terance of Mr. John W. Davis who
a new man at the bat. His- address
as one of the noblest that has ever
delivered by a candidate. His
rgument is orderly, logical, convincig.
The address is as luminous as
sunbeam. His English reminds us
t Wood row Wilson and his charmig
personality adds force to his
ords. The impression made by that
idress was the best possible stroke
[r. Davis could have made for hinf If.
If he is President the country
111 be in safe and capable hands.?
