In a pamphlet just issued by the Insurance Commissioner, he seys: LET U? CONTINUE TO ERMCT SCHOOL BUILDINGS, BUT NOT OF THE j'BUILT To BUeN" CHARAOTBB. in America we bum twelve school houses and two colleges ev ery week. In tlie United States, a firae occurs every day in some school. The loss of life is great, while the loss of prdperty amounts to several hundred, thousand dol lars. The American ueople have given less thought to the protect ion of schools and their precious conteuts than has been given to manufacturing plants and buildings in general. Frequently the lives of our children are saved simply because the fire occurs while the school is not in session. The above statement contains warnings for us here in North Chmlina. We are in the midst of a great educational uplift and ad vance. We are building an uu usually large number of school buildings and collecting in them our children and their teachers. We are looking after the ^appear ance* of these buildings and then adaptability to teaching, but pay ing little or noattentiou to their safety, or even economy of erec tion. A large majority of our school buildings are of the most dangerous character, calling for heavy depreciation and constant repairs, largest insurance rates and fewest exits. These buildings are not only easily fired, but of the character to burn most rapidly when once fired. With a view of bringing about a change in these conditions, your careful attention ia invited to the letters and other data herein, J.?t us inform ourselves and the peo ple and We will get the results de sired?better and safer school buildings. mi si i r A Spinning Party. Mrs. Hay good White was hos tess at a very enjoyable spinning party given at her home near Murfreesboro, N. C., Nov. 12, fori the entertainment of the littie folks.

There were a number of young boys und girls present who joined the children in the games and for tune telling. They also enjoyed and were very mnch interested in the spinning. Reported. % ? I Superintendent Joyner Optimistic ? Dr. J. Y. Joyner, o! Raleigh. Superintendent of Public Iustruc tion, expresses himself as being highly gratified with the progress that is being achieved by the moonlight, schools throughout the State. "The movement is getting rapid ly underway," declared Doctor Joyner, "and from the reports that afe coming into1 the office, gratifying progress is being achieved everywhere. The ex pressions on the part of the teach ers are highly enthusiastic and there are some interesting citations given. One teacher reported that three of her pupils had learned to write on the third night. The number Of adult illiterates enrolled is large. "We are anticipating splendid results, for the papers have re sponded nobly to the calls made upon them, the Junior Order like wise ahd also the women's organi zations, farmers' clubs, etc. In deed with such co-operation of ef fort, much should be accomplished toward wiping out adult illiteracy in'Nortli Carolina."

Cooper of tiie State Board of Ilea lib re cently. n the town that depend# on "natural means" for its water supply and sewage disposal. "Such towns have from several hundreds to a few tkouaand population with nooe of the safeguards against dis ease and insanitary conditions that larger towns and cities have. For this rpason. these small towns are more unhealthy than even the country. They have a congestion of people with no protected water supply, no sewer system and prac tically no public health super vision. Private wells, open closets and breeding places for flies?the three curses of Nmhl^s health?are every where, an^ what is woiae, the towD is so poor (mentally) that it cannot afford anything better. "The geoersl tendency of the unfortunate small towns in ques tions of health matters is to trust to luck and the luck is often mis erable. Typhoid fever pays them an annual or semi-annual epidemic and tuberculosis is an ever present plague. They have perhaps an annual clean up day or week but the spell and its effects are soon over., From appearances the health officer is merely nominal who rests in peace the greater part of the year, unless a few women "start something." Such apathy usually exists till the price of it is paid io proably some epidemic tliat costs the town a number of bright young lives. "Fortunately," said Dr. Cooper, "all small towfis are not in the un fortunate class. They are wise enough to make prevision against the evil dav that la sure to come to the poor (!) town unable to safeguard ^its health.?Health Bulletin. * Horses In Australia.
