The Roanoke Rapids Schools,
closed Wednesday morning of this
Week because of the heaviest snow
fall in the city for the past 13 years
and an increasing number of ab
sences among the students on ac
count of illness, will open again
Monday morning, if weather con
ditions permit, C. W. Davis, super
intendent of city schools, stated to
day.
Mr. Davis said that he felt it ad
visable to discontinue school work
Until weather conditions improved.
Attendance for the past week has
been rather poor in the light of the
average attendance at this time of
year, he said. He further stated
that he believed that it would be
beat for all children to remain at
home until most of the snow '
gone, or until all walks and stre>
are fairly well cleared 'of the sno
giving the pupils an opportunity
get to and from the different buil
tngs without having to wa>
through the deep drifts along t’
Way.
