This building will have six classrooms and an auditor ium. 4. I worked with the following schools last week: New Hope, Royal, Hickory Rock, Hayes and Cedar Rock. 5. Cuns*i!idntlon which results in the osmin:?hincnt of the six-teacher Buhuul as 'JiO jiinlmum, overcomes in ao eflectlve way the fundamental de lects of fr*re-snratl-~3iliuul with its smatt unit o t taxation and small unit of population. In area the taxable unit of such a school district In most rural .school situation? will, in ail probabil ity, include an area of from 30 to 50 square miles. A taxable area of from 30 to 50 square miles, yvill in most sit-, uatjons. tittiluue enough taxable prop ter ty ?when.toi a reasonable rate of local tax Is added the county and state ap propriaiions to. maintain an efficient school. Consequences Of This Knlnrged Unit of Taxation. 1. Ability of district to bond itself for adequate buildings and adequate equipment. 2. An ample school site of not less than five or six acres of well drained and cultivated land, furnishing plenty of ground for a successful school de monstration farm, and plenty of grou nd for organized play and games of all sorts. ; = ? 3. Sufficient school fund to keep well trained and experienced teachers. 4. A school term from- 8 to 9 months. 5. A capable principal employed for the year round. 6. Fewer dally recitations for each --teacher. Longer recitations for each pupil. More time tor each teacher to make dally preparation for her classes. 7. A larger per cent of the school population completing the common school branches, thus making a larg er number of its future cltteens more effective. 8. In such a school, three or four years of high school work may be done effectively. 9. Efficient supervision is now guaranteed. Because of this enlarged unit of taxation, and larger unit of population, the community can now provide a comfortable and modern home for the principal and his teach ers. The principal can be employed for the year round. Ii> addition to^hls work as head of the high school de nrfnrrn i"" ?aad?hat his teachers and the entire school through personal visitations to their classrooms, through private conferen ces ami well planned teachers' meet ings, thus stimulating their profession al spirit and increasing their efficien cy. By thus providing a permanent home for this male principal he is enabled to carry on through the. sum mer months the home-project work of the boys in raising a prize acre of corn, peanuts or potatoes, on their home-project work in livestock rais ing. The principal now becomes an effective leader In every movement that 1? undertaken for the common good of the community." 6. The Evening Times of Saturday, March 29th, carries the following ed itorial: "S. C. Vann of Franklinton will gifle to his community $100,000 for a dow public school building, his nnly fninlll Inn being that the commu nity provide at a reasonable cost a suitable site on which to place- ttre structure. The gift is a magnificent ly generous one and of course will be gratefully accepted. It is to be hop ed however thai it will bpur Franklin ton on-to even better provisions for the education of its children. ICNKIN CESSER. Dear itmer-. Judge Bowser Informs me that you are 'very much dllllfled at me 'cause I have been acting ps correspondent (or another pap*r. I am here to-beg your -uparlner" in all lfumllity. You se? that Kuleigh editor was giving ub so much bad weather, I had to give him a raking t'own, and you can see for yourafcif wluit effect my letter bad as we have Fince had some pretty Spring days. So Jmlead of being dlllified, you should thank me for what I did. Don't you r.ee the pint? If you can't see the pint, just come to see me and I'll flhow you a qt. I saw in your last weoku paper thatyCapt. Thomas has his hat in the ring for Sheriff, and that he says me and Dick Wiggins are for him. Now I wish to say right here that when me and Dick are for a man, the other fellow may Just as well give It up. quit shaking hands with the dear people, and kissing their babies, for he will get beat sho. But! have prevail ed on Capt. Thomas to withdraw In f& j\or of Maj. Boddle, and he says that he is not only going to- vote for him, I but will do all he can to elect him. The Gapt. also sa^s that any man who I went thrbugh this world war and was lucky enough to get baok home alive, | should have -any office he asks for. Sam Boddle went through the thick est of it, and is how wearing In his scarf a machine gun bullet that broke fyis arm and lodged in his lungs, and all he asks of the people is votes en ough to elect him their Sheriff. Now feHow citizens, don't you think you will show mighty little gratitude if you fail to give him this office? Spanish Monkey says he will never vote for Capt. Thomas for anything, cause the Capt stole 1-2 gallon llcker from him once and he never paid it back. Now as to that man Wood running for pres ident, I don't think he will ever get there 'cause just think of the men his alcohol has killed. If he will sell llcker, why don't he sell the best like me and Sheriff Horton and Dr. Frog, made from the best box lye and black strap. No sir, no wood alcohol in our'n. That fellow Herbert Hoover is also a stranger to us, and he needn't count on any votes from Punkin Cen ter. But If you will Just trot out old Joe Hoover we will support him. We know he hasn't got sense Enough to bel la buzzard, but we win vote for him just because he is vice-president of our m>ble orders?But ??tree he hap got to be "Supt." he is getting too big for his britches, as he never calls on the President now. Don't think he likes poor folks any more, but maybe the old cow will need her tall again in fly time. I am going to run him down to every Honey Bottle I see if he don't change his. ways. Mr. Editor, if you are thlnkihg' of going into the thicken business, you should coine to P. C. ror your eggs, uat o man stays at my house has some wonderful hens. They lay aigs with her picture on em, and I have even seen the Sheriff's picture on some ofjthem. If you don't bleeve me, come and see for yourself. You should alBo see the new bridge built by them Injuns. Me and Dr. Frog are quite lonesome since the Injuns left, and I especially miss that rich baritone voice of Prof. Crouse singing his favorite song. Dead Hog eatin- peas, accompanied on the cornet by that fa I tried to teach Prof.' Vrouse to play the violin but he said he had never tried anything but the fiddle, Bo I gave up in despair. Come again In juns and lets have some more music for that's 'bout the best thing I can think of. PRESIDENT. | P. S.?The next time John Harris passes the White House with my Ho ney Boitle and don't stop, he w/ll car ry back a load of buckshot. Pres. j SENIOR BURLESQUE CONCERT Some disrespectful undergraduate remarked that it was a great pity that there was no talent in the Senior ?Class of the present year. When this remark came to the ears of the Sen iors they resolved to vindicate their reputation and got up concert for Saturday evening, admissidft two and one-half cents. Miss Musa Eure's 'rendition of "A Melody in X, Tshdlkwosky," "Ja Le fure, Merikants" by Miss Mamie Liles furnished the Instrumental part of the program. The audience was high ly entertained by the readings of Miss Hessie Dixon. Miss Peart Fuller 'and Miss Allene Cook. There were several vocal pieces, but of special note was "Silence" by Miss Ressie Dixon. She made all appro priate gestures and opbned and shut ner m-outh in an absolutely silent solo. The program closed with a musical selection on combs accompanied by the ukele. The numerous encores and hearty applause of the audience con vinced the most skeptical that tfcc j class of 1920 is indeed an accomplish ed class. PICNIC AT LAUREL. Listen! girls and boys!

Believing that in unitv there is | strength, the entire christian forces of Louisburg are mobilizing for a big evangelistic campaign, beginning Ap ril 11th and continuing thru the 25th at least. In planning this work the conclus ion was reached that the most abiding good would *be accomplished if the christian people themselves would i shoulder a large part of the burden, j hence no outside evangelist has been engaged. Dr. F. S. Love, ppresident i of Louisburg College will preach the first week in the Baptist church. Dr. Love is widely known as an unusually strong preacher, being now engaged In a two weeks meeting at Franklin ton. From all reports this 1b one ot the best meetings ever held in that town. It will be a great treat to have Dr. Love preaching in our midst | for a week. i Kev. Xrela D. Collins, pastor of thef Baptist Church will preach during the ? second week. ! The music will be an attractive fea ture of the meeting. Prof. E. L. Wol slagel will have full charge of that side. Mr. Wolslagel has been in Lou isburg before, and needs no introduc tion tc those who have heard him. To those who do not know him it might ! be interesting to know that he is right iu the front row of all the singers and choral directors in the entire world. | During the world war Mr. Wolslagel devoted his fine talents and splendid personality to Uncle Sam and did a magnificent piece of work. Louisburg may well congratulate herself in pro scoring his services, and the people have a treat in store. I Rev. G. F. Smith, pastor of the Me jthodist church is getting his people I together, and doing a great deal nf pen jsonal work in advance. He will have c harge of the prayer meetings andjer It is hoped that every christian will i consider him or herself a very vital . pait oi this whole programme. r to -it- that -all-other engagemen ts gtr on the siuing and stay there until after the meeting.
