Investig’ate School
Attendance Here
Survey to Be Made in Moare
and Four Other
Counties.
munity interest in school atteaadance;
to help the teachers get the correct
i^ons for absences; to help make
the adjustments in the home neces
sary for the child’s return to school;
and to make the parents realize the
value of an education.
Moore county has been selected as
one of the five counties in which a
study of school attendance will be
made during the fall school term.
Miss Elizabeth Smith, Director of the
Division of School Attendance of the
State Board of Charities and Public
Welfare, who is in charge of the sur
vey, will spend Tuesday, Wednesday,
and Thursday in Moore County, con
ferring with Miss Lucile Eifort,
County Superintendent of Public Wel
fare, at West End, and A. B. Cam
eron, Superintendent | of County
Schools, at Carthage. The survey
will be begun immediately. The pur
pose will be to obtain accurate infor
mation as to why children are absent
from school. A school attendance
drive will also be held.
The results of the survey, which is
to determine the percentage of ab
sences that may be attributed to sick
ness, indifference of the parents, farm
work, other types of work, or non
enrollment, will be tabulated by the
division of school attendance through
the assistance of the teachers and
parents. These results will be re
turned to the county to be used as a
basis for future efforts to increase
school attendance.
The survey is to be undertaken as
a result of the recent investigation
which showed that teachers in North
Carolina schools marked “absent” by
the names of 212,254 children during
the school year 1926-27.
North Carolina’s rank in relation
to the percentage of children seven
to 13 years old, attending school
daily, is ninth from the bottom of
the list, and those states falling be
low are all of the South.
The county unit of the organization
to increase school attendance includes
the superintendent of public welfare
and truant officers as the adminis
trative force, and the superintendent
of schools and the rural supervisor as
advisors. The co-op<eration of the
people of the communities and the
principals and teachers will be en
listed in the drive to be held this
faU.
The aims will be: to create com-
RAIN CAUSES MOLD
ON STORED TOBACCO.
To add to the woes of the North
Carolina tobacco grower, continuous
rain is causing a mold to appear on
the cured leaf stored in the pack
houses.
“The only way to control this mold
is to install a wood heater in the
pack house and dry it out as quickly
as possible,” says E. Y. Floyd, to
bacco specialist at State College.
* This wet weather has been very bad
on cured tobaccc stored in pack
houses over Eastern Carolina. In many
instances, the tobacco is in too high
order on the outside of the pile and
mold is showing up. If a wood heat
er with an upright draft, such as the
Wilson or Cole heater can be used
there will be little danger of fire. The
pipe should extend well out of the
window or some other outlet to in
sure against fire.”
Build a small fire in the stove at
first and watch carefully, advises Mr.
Floyd. Gradually get the heat up to
100 degrees and keep it there. This
heat will kill the mold and save most
of the leaf if it was packed properly
in the first pplace. When the weathtr
improves, it will pay every farmer to
repile his weed. This will pay in most
years, anyway, but especially is it a
good practce this year when only
quality weed is wanted by the buy
ers.
Mr. Floyd states that tobacco goes
through a sweat and change about
every three weeks ii» seasons like the
one this fall. Repiling it will give a
more uniform color and the tobacco
will be “sweeter” if repiled and al
lowed to go through another sweat
before it is sold. Farmers of the State
lose thousands of dollars each year
by selling their tobacco before it has
really changed in bulk to show for its
real worth.

Sunlight Again
at Knollwood Heights
Rain and Storm are not perpetual. Sunshine has broken
through again at Knollwood Heights, and work is progressing with
the same old enthusiasm that prevailed before the week or down
pour. The new houses are taking shape that tell what Knollwood
is to be.
At Pine Needles Inn the landscape gardeners are busy,
planting and improving that quarter of the neighborhood. All over
the hill an army of men is extending water mains, planting and
clearing out undergrowth, and advancing the improvement.
Nelson Courtway has his house plans in
the hands of builders for estimates for cost.
He hopes to get under way soon and make
a home for himself at Knollwood. Richard
Tufts is preparing to get rid of the under
growth on the lot where he is considering
a new house presently. By the time the
visitors of winter arrive the whole neigh
borhood will be revolutionized.
MRS. LOUISE BARBER HOGG BE
COMES INTERESTED.
Mrs. Louise Barber Hogg, who is the
owner of several lots on Knollwood
Heights, has always been an enthusiast
regarding the new community, and she
has announced that she is going to make
special effort to place some of her good
friends and acquaintances on lots in the
vicinity of her possessions. Mrs. Hogg has
wide popularity, and the colony that she
creates around her will be one of the de
sirable localities of the Knollwood section.
With Mrs. Hogg, Glenna Collett and Mrs.
Collett advocating the delights of Knoll
wood Heights as a place for a home in the
North Carolina golf and vacation belt the
additions to Knollwood's group this win
ter will be large.
With the big slices that have been cut from the group of
Knollwood lots already the number left there on the Heights is no
longer very large and it is intimated that prices will have a tend
ency to advance before much longer. Pretty good idea to secure a
location before that inevitable condition arises.
