The Old Temple of Justice has practically been converted into a new one; as it has now all of the specially needed modern convenien-1 |ces installed, water, lights, heat, etjc. modern and nice convenient office rooms for the various county officers toilets for men and women, etc. The j auditorium or court room is especial-1 ly modernized, being equipped with new improved seats made especially for the court house. Also the bar and (judge's stand have all been changed. I The jurors will be able to serve better, owing to recent changes made for , them.

We also believe the board of education and their co-workers deserve much credit for the extensive im[ provements they have made and are [making to the already good school building. It is to be hoped that those whose business it is to see that th^se - - . I recreation grounds are provided tor, as a good recreation ground is ond of the best assets to a school.

I I MUSIC MEMORY CONTEST TQ BE HELD APRIL 19 I To Be Held it Try on School House Commi ncing At 2 P. M. j AUSPICES MRSj. E. E. RANDOLPH! Music Chairman of North Carolina Federation Womens Club What is meant by a Music Memory Contest? The value of music in education is becoming more and more clearly recognized. Music is a mind trainer and it prepares for a broader, fuller, happier life.

Acquaintance is likely to merge into liking, and liking into love. The important thing is for every child to become acquainted early. True, the schools do not produce men and women equipped by virtue of their school music study to pursue the teaching or performance of music I as a means of livelihood. They do more.

Here hundreds perhaps thousands, of years before Columbus set foot on the soil of the New World, the Warrior sang his love songs to his mate, stalked the sleek and fat deer which were in abundance, fished the mountain streams for the choicest trout and danced his war dance on the eve of departure to contest with bow and arrow and tomahawk the encroachment of neighboring tribes who coveted his mountain Paradise.
