COOPER DEAD It was with much sorrow that the announcement ot the death ot Mrs. W. J. Cooper, which occurred at her home on Ken more Avenue Monday morning about 2:20, was received by the many friends ot the family. Al though Mrs . Cooper had been In bad health for eight years, and had borne her sufferings with a patience and sacrifice only shared by true Chris tians her death was unexpected to a large number. She was 43 years of age and besides her husband, she leaves two daughters, Misses Beulah and Louise, and three sons, Messrs. WUllard, Lawrence and James Coop er. Mrs. Cooper was the daughter :Qt Mr. J. L. Bowden, of Justice, who also survives her as does three broth ers, Messrs. L. W. and H. C. Bow den, of Raleigh, and J. C. Bowden, of Justice, and four sisters, Mesdames E. M. Perry, of Rocky Mount. Bob Hay es, W. H. Stalllngs and O. S. Earp, ot this county. Mrs. Cooper possessed a beautiful Christian spirit and was greatly loved and admired by her many friends and relghbors. She was a consistent mem ber of the Loulsburg Baptist church. The funeral was held from the home on Monday afternoon at 5 o'clock, and was conducted by Rev. J. A. Mclver, after which the remains were gently taken to Oaklawn cemetery where they were tenderly lai<} to rest by loving hands. At each service a choir ren dered softly favorite hymns of the de ceased and large numbers were pres ent to pay a last sad tribute. The floral offerings were profuse and beau tiful, speaking a touching message ot love and admiration. The pall bearers were Messrs. W. H. Allen, H. C. Taylor, L- J. Pernell, W. M. Freeman, M. C.

The North Carolina Sunday School Association la a co-operative effort of Sunday School workers ot the evangelical denominations to ax tend and improve Sunday School work in North Carolina. 2. It Is the only organization In the State which alma to help all depart ments of every Sunday School, and to help organise denominational Sunday Schools in every community that has no Sunday School. | S. The organisation stands (or thoae interests common to all Sunday School workers. It strives to help by way of suggestion, not by authority; therefore, it helps many; It hinder* none. 4. Seventy-one of the one hundred counties in the State are now organ ized into County Sunday School Aa soclatlono. In the Convention year, from April 1. 1922. to March 21, 1?23, 87 county conventions were held. In these conventions 1,204 Sunday Schools were represented by 16,800 people. Among those attending wtrs 466 preachers, 672 superintendents, 0,148 teachers. 6. During the Convention year 196 township conventions were held, which was an Increase of nearly on* hundred per cent, as only 102 were held the previous year. , 6. Two counties ? Rowan and Ca barrus ? have covers*) one hundred par cent ot the "County Alms." Randolph County haa coverd ninety per cent ot the "Aims"; Vance, eighty per cent; Alamance and Guilford, fifty-five per cent; Wayne, fifty percent. 7. As evidence of tha need of this co-operative work' only about one In three of the White population ot ;tho Stat* I* enrolled In Sunday Schools, and the aatual attendance Is lea* than one In four. MXJST MAKE 15 UNITS \ " To Graduate from High School Subjects That Mist B? ro?plete4? LonlNbarg High Sckool U Oil! Staadtog? Will Be Well Equipped To graduate from a Standard High School a student must complete act leas than fifteen units of work above a standard seventh grade. A unit to the credit allowed for the satisfactory completion of a course pursued for lit days with five recitations per week, each recitation being not less than forty minutes in length. In other words a Unit means 120 clock hours of recitations. Sgmo subjects are so fundament*^ that they should be required of all students who expect to graduate from high school. They furnish the bast* on which to build an education and are necessary for those who go to college as well as those who do not go. In keeping with this idea, the State Department of Education has fixed a minimum requirement for ? Standard High School. Every Stand ard High School must require of all students who graduate the following subjects: English ? 4 units. Mathematics ? 2 units. Science? 1 unit. History ? 2 units. Foreign Language ? 2 units. Electives ? 4 units. It will be seen from the above that eleven units are prescribed for all students who graduate from a Stand ard High School in North Carolina. This does not mean that every stu dent will be compelled to study these prescribe studies. There are many boys and girls who for various causes do not expect to complete a high school course. To such, any course in the high school Bhould be open, and the high school should make special effort to accommodate all such boys and girls. Louisburg High School has to day a splendid rating with the State High School Inspector and wants to main tain the same high standard. We will require of each student who expects to graduate the -minimum course pre scribed by those who rate high schools For the four elective units we expect I to offer the following additional sub jects: Four units of foreign langu&ak 1 2 units of history and civics, one unit of soience, one unit of Domestic Science, one unit of Commercial Arith metic, one unit of Bookkeeping, and one unit of Stenograph It there Is fettf ficient demands for it, one unit in Plane Geometry. This Is a rather wide program, but we believe it is none too 'wide. If students expect to go to 'college after leaving? Mgh school, It is very {essential that they keep this in mind 4n selecting Subjects of study. To secure an education, there must be some continuity of effort along deft' nlte lines. The "cafeteria" plan ot a little of this and a HttTr or that may enable a lazy boy or a flapper girl to 'Sget through school", but they will be far from educated. We hope all the boys and girls who come to Louisburg High School will come with the determination to stick to a definite course with the idea of going to college later. Our experi ence has been that such boys and girls make the best students and are happier in their work than the fellow who Is simply browsing around. Within the next 'few days we expect to send out to the patrons and friends of the school, an outline of the work to be offered by years or grades. Next week please look tor a little argument why every boy and girl should grad uate from high school. FAMILY REUNION On Friday, An*. 16, Mrs. J. 8. Per ry gave a delightful barbecue, for he* immediate relatives Those present were: Mr. and Mrs. B. T. Bennett and family. Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Harward and family, of Apex, Miss Praline Rogers, of Dur ham, Mrs. W. E. Moss, Miss Kate Moss and Mr. W_ Bennett Perry, o* Henderson, Mr. and Mrs. J. J. t-r and family, of Laurel, Mrs. L. O.

The second and fourth Saturdays at 11 o'clock a. ra. were selected as the tllmes for the meetings. It la especially desired that every member who possibly can attend all of these meetings. GETS I.AW LICENSE Among the eighty odd applicants who successfully stood tin Supreme Court examinations last week we ore glad to note the names of three ot Franklin County's young men, Meg. srs. James Bills Malone, Edward Fos ter Griffin, and William Yarborough I Ickett, now located at Wlnston-Sa lera. Their many fr|rn no matter ho* olil or Mttf we ire. Every child, grand-child, great grand-child and son-in-law waa there and nothing could haye been more enjoyable' The main feature' of the reunion J waa the dinner which consisted of tmrtooue, brunswiok stew, sandwich es, oake. pickle, coffee and lemonade. Not one thing happened to mar the pleasure* of that day. The table* were built under an enormous iim brella tree which grew out fn the yard there waa quite a crowd but its braaohee were long enough to coyer all and although nature sent a mist ing rain all day It could not penetrate the density of that old umbrella tree 'and a dinner never could have been enjoyed more. After dinner games ware played and reminiscences of hap py childhood days were brought forth fcy ludicrous tales told by stalwart men and women of days long ago but ever a delightful memory. J he aged parents never looked sweeter or bet ter to us and it was a day never to be forgotten by all who were there, es pecially the children of the home. 1 tell ybu folks It was great and if W* can never all get together on an other occasion just like that I do hope some way will be fixed for many more reunions. One thing the bootleggers never have to contend With Is a buyers' atrtke. ? Nashville Southern Lumber man. OPENING SALE DATE CHANGED LeBlkfeurg Tttani Market Will Open ?>?
