BOARD OF EDUCAIIOII MEETS' Committee from Sorosis Given Hear ing With Reference to Request of Certain Improvements in City Schools. The regular monthly meeting of the ''County Board of Education yesterday ..fternoon was featured by the conside ration of two requests from the North Carolina Sorosis, one that the domes- lie science department be restored to . ti'c city graded schools and the other that some arrangements be made for a rigid medical examination of all school children. A committee from -ilu club was present and the matters were thoroughly discussed for nearly two hours, with the result that the la (Mrs not only enlisted the sympathy and interest of the board, but exacted a uromise, in a form of resolutions, that the plans outlined are heartily approved by the board, which pro- hablv means that the requests will be Granted in toto. .1.0. Carr, Esq., chairman presided, mid in attendance were Messrs. cnas K. Taylor, Jr., and J. Q. L. Gieschen, the other members; Prof. Washington Catiett. county. superintendent of pub Ik- instruction; Mr. H. McL. Green, i county treasurer;" Mr, J.

Stover and Mrs A. J. Howell. . North Carolina Sorosis has been a power in civic improvement in Wil mington during the past few years and the ladies of this organization have never yet made an effort to se cure a thing that they did not succeed in their undertaking. They work quietly, but earnestly and determined ly, and get results. Their fight to have the domestic science department re stored in the city schools and to have a medical examination of the school children has been carried on quietly, but persistently for some time and al ready success is in sight. ing paper nrr wz lsk miitii mmt r siiiiniv fvf We know-the old cry of no money. .... . . j f lease aon't repeat it, mends, we J don't ask: for more money, but for a M 7 .

The follow was read to the Board of Education yesterday afternoon by a nif mbef of the committee and set forth the position, of the club in the matter of domestio science in the city schools: The North Carolina Sorosis feels that she can 'assert with entire truth, tfnd without fear of successful contra diction, that her labors have been giv en without stint to the general good of this comifcmity. At times we have worked hard, and if at any time the motive was a selfish one, we are not conscious of it. Our desire is to be nractical in our aims and efforts Seeine the dally need for more skilled home-makers, as well as do- ir.e?tics,. we thought to begin, wnere all mankind would reap the benefit, and uhrp no thinking and eating man could say hay; with the scientific training for home makers.-Now, some of the lords of creation. do. oppose a woman's voting, with possibly some pood arguments; but what man,, ra tional, can oppose teaching a girl -how to make a home clean, comfortable and sanitary, and to set a -nourishing and economical meal for her tlfed husband on his return from a strenu mis dav of business. Now. this, and simply this, was our object when we induced one of our school committees to put domestic science In one of our public schools a few years ago. We wiphed it for all. colored as well as white, but we could not reach the com mittees, hence we made ourselves sat isfied with half a loaf, and put it in the one only. A committee from the club went before the committee of the Union school, who would listen," and offered to furnish a room they had with every necessary equipment, from gas ranges, tables and chairs, and a cupboard, to towels, mops and soap; to secure a vpman properly equipped for the work, and to start the work off, if they would sustain and keep it Koing. The club kept her promise. We Floured a graduate of the Boston Cooking School, who taught practical cooking, with the chemical results made clear to her class. She taught how to make good breads of various kinds; how to select good meats at the stall and to cook them with the nourishing qualities retained. The im portance of- cleanliness was made plain, and the easiest and best way to secure the same. To prove this fact, in a contest given here some time back, with prizes offered for the best bread and cake. , the two first prizes were taken by girls trained at the Un ion cookine school. The superinten dent of education and members of the school mm mittee exnressed their niide and nleaure in the work acconv Plished and the results attained. We shared the feeling, and confidently hoped to see it put Into the Hemen wav. too. havine nroven Itself a suc cess. All of a sudden, the powers that bo decided to close the kitchen ana d ), we know not what, with the as sets we had nlaeed there, without con sultation, or even notice given to the club, on the sublect. We ieit inaig nant: but wa swallowed our Indigna tion and tried to look pleasant when uniting on different members of the who assured us from Hmo tn ttmo that they apprecl him! thp value nf the course and would a' some future time restore domestic science to our school system;- but Pferred it should be in the High school, where the whole town would have acfesB tn the training: ' that .a ' onm for the purpose would be includ- fi in the new High School Duuaing, iinri thpn thp ltttchen re-onened.'

Encouraging to Robbers The following editorial squib from yesterday's Charlotte wserver is of local interest: ... Wilmington has been greatly in fested with robbers, the police depart ment reporting from six to eight each night. The officers seem to be unable to cope with the situation, and are said to advocate the employment of a number of bloodhounds to aid them in running dAwn the culprits. The pur chase of bloodhounds will no doubt be encouraging news to the robbers. Charlotte Observer. 20 Years Building Up. A reputation of handling goods of quality.
