Royal!. * ? ************************** The following Box Parties have been held recently: Poplar Springs realized $43.60. This school has pledged $170 for War Stamps. This beats the record of any of our rural schools so fur. Shiloh made $50.00. Holly Grove $36.05. Rehoboth $26.05. Price's School $56.50. Sandy Grove $34. Royall School, Boon Hill township, $100. Miss Laura Young won in the popularity contest in this party. Hopewell School made $70. Arrangements have been made at Hopewell to build another rqom to the building, and the work is already in progress. This will be another three-teacher school. North Carolina Day was observed in practically all of our schools February 22nd, in connection with Washington's Birthday. War Stamps were discussed in a great many places with good results. On account of the irregularity in opening the schools this year, the labor problem, the bad weather, and the greater irregularity in closing we have decided not to have Group Com mencements this year. Every school will have its own exercises at the close. We are trying to get to all the schools in the county as rapidly as possible before the pupils begin to drop out. Already we have been to about seventy. We find that every school has its own particular problem, and is anxiously waiting for help. We visited a district the other day and found the school had closed, and on going into the building we found everything had been left in per fect condition. We would like for every building in the county to be left in the same condition when school closes; and that a Community League be organized to keep it that way un til school opens again. The teachers' meeting at Selma Saturday for the town schools was very important, but for various rea sons there was not a good attendance. Those who were present seemed very enthusiastic. .
