There will be a meetiner of Robeson Connty Uuion held in the court house in Lumberton Thurs day, May 5th. On that date Con gressman Godwin will deliver an address on agricultural education and we hope the Union at large will bear this date in mind. It is the desire cf the executive committee that i he different lo cals insist that their local school committeemen and local school teachers, whether union men or not, attend and hear the address. If the public school teachers are not interested in agricultural ed ucation it is high time they were giving it a passing thought, as it to i is only going to be a short time u-u.il a knowledge of this branch j o: ttudy is going to be an essen- jtial qualification in securing a place as teacher in the public ' schools of Robeson county. The ' slogan of Robeson County Union 1 is "Agricultural Education." E. W. Stone, Sec'y. 7
