STATE INSPECTOR OF
SCHOOLS MAKES TALK
The Black Bisons were defeated
in an exciting game with Spencer
Friday afternoon by the score of
11 to 10. The Pointers outhlt
Spencer by fifteen to eleven, but
were unable to make their hits
count. Johnson starred with the
willow for High Point getting four
fits out of five times up, one going
for extra bases. The Holt boys
stood out for Spencer with three
lits each. Brogden and Culler
pitched for High Point and allowed
only eleven hits.
The Pointers getting away to a
fast start piled up a nice lead in
the first four innings by scoring
eight runs. High Point scored two
more runs in the eighth but were
held scoreless in the last inning.
Spencer did not get such a good
start but scored four runs in their
part of the eighth to nose out the
Pointers by one run.

the students were shown the possi
bilities of as short a time as thirty
minutes a day if used correctly.
“The conditions upon which
scholarship may be attained are to
have a desire for learning, to ex
pend the necessary time, and to
read both widely anti rapidly. For
the last, if you cannot read the
average novel in three or four hours
you are wasting your time. Learn
to read rapidly,” advised the
speaker. He added that the en
cyclopedic notion had been aban
doned, for since the tremendous
progress in civilization, complete
knowledge is no longer possible.
“You are young and strong,” he
concluded, “use your strength in
the betterment of mankind.’

But Farlowe Gets One Run
to End the Game a Tie.
The High Point high school girls’
baseball team tied the strong
team from Winston-Salem on the
local field last Saturday afternoon.
This was the first game played by
High Pointers this season and they
exhibited an especially good brand
of baseball playing.
The locals started the game off
with a rush and scored 5 runs
first inning to Winston’s 2. During
the first half of the game the locals
scored 7 runs to keep a lead over
the visitors until the last period,
when Winston scored their eighth
run. The Pointers came back
