All of Moore county’s schools have
been supplied with teachers and
though this has been a difficult
task in tlie face of the great teacher
shortage, we believe that in 'the
main we have a stronger teaching
lorce than many other counties
fiavi* at tliis time. The spirit of
discontent that was for a time so
nuicli in evidence among teachers,
as well as in other professions and
callings seems to have almost dis-
a})i)eared, and most of our teachers
air doing faithful work.
We urge upon the people in each
coiiununity to use their best efforts
to make the school the best that it
can be. It is true that much de-
j)cnds upon the teachers, hut no
hiatter how strong a teacher you
iiiay liave, the school will not be all
.that it ought to be unless the peo
ple of the community give their
active support to the school.
Are there any broken window
lights that cause some child to sit
in a draft? Is there a plentiful sup
ply of good wood, or do some of
the pupils have to spend most of
their time gathering up fuel w'her-
ever they can find it? Is the heater
in good condition and sufficiently
large to keep a comfortable tem
perature in the room, or do the pu
pils have to bundle and crowd
around the heater to keep w’arm?
How about the water supply? Is it
plentiful and clean? Those are im
portant matters and will contribute
largely to the success or failure of
your school.
Have you visited the school and
h\ trieiully discussion of matters of
co.-iiuon Interest ’et the teacher un
derstand that you wei-e backing her
to the limit?
Friday, February 28th, will be
‘North Carolina Day” in Moore
coiui y. In sOiui* parts of the state
the day was observed at the close
01 tl.e fail lerm, but inasnuich as
it was left oi)tinal with the coun-
lies, it was deeiued best to let it
ro; :e in after the holidays and near
to Washington’s birthday. From
the 1st to 2(5th oi February is “Na
tional Song Week,” and we believe
that the observance of Nortli Caro
lina Day will be a fitting close to the
week of study and practice of the
National songs. We hope that al
our schools will devote some time
and effort to the study and practice
of our patriotic songs.. It is a
splendid way to cultivate American
ism in our young people to get them
to learn our patriotic songs, and be
come familiar with their historv
and sentiment. The programs for
North Carolina Day are now being
sent out. We shall be g’ad for the
teachers to go carof ill’’ over tlio
program and arrange to have eaci'
part carried out. It pr? sents a splen
did opportunity for a community
get-together day. Several of these
numbers will be well worth discuss
ing. Notify the people of the com
munity in good time and ask differ
ent ones to be prepared to give his
or her views m answer to any one
or more of the questions. Try to
make the discussions general, and
get as many different ones as pos-j
sible to give expression to his views, j
It will be well enough to get aj
speaker from a distance if you can,!
but as a rule, when someone from a
distance comes to speak, the home |
folks will have nothing to say, and ;
you will accomplish more for your!
school and community if you can
get the people together and have a
general free and hearty expression |
irom them as to the main problems, j
A few of the patriotic songs you ^
will practice during the w eek, in- i
terspersed with the discussions, will'
make a good program, and for those |
schools that will agree to frame |
and preserve a picture of ex-Presi |
dent Roosevelt, w^e think we shaJl
be able to provide a very desirable!
copy. This might be made a very i
attractive feature of the program. !

Two Chances
With a Peach Orchard
or
The man who wants to make money on a peach orchard may
cultivate his orchard and sell his annual crop of peaches, and the ex
perience of the last twenty years shows that to be one of the most
profitabls industries of the state.
Or he can procure a piece of suitable wild land and clear it and
plant an orchard and bring the orchard to bearing and sell it for a
price that makes his work highly profitable. He may hold his orchard
until it has paid him back all it cost and profit beside, and then sell it
for another profit above what it cost.
A peach orchard rightly located and developed wins any way
you turn.
For one of the good locations on Edgemoore Ridge see
Frank Buchan
Southern Pines
Edgemoore has the third advantage in that it will see its unde
veloped land steadily grow in price as the Knollwood work goes on.
No way to lose on this property.
