THE SEMI-WEEKLY ROBESONIAN 2 Closing of the Proctorsville Col ored School. Owing to the measles, whoop ing cough and a few cases of smallpox, the committee ordered the school to close on the 12th inst On that day the school was called to order at 9 a. m. After devotional exercises the pupils asked leave to decorate the house, which was done promptly and nicely. After being called to order again a spelling contest was decided, a prize to be awarded to the pupil who should stand longest and spell the most words. The prize was won by Odessa Floyd, one of L. T. Fiovd's daughters, of the fifth grade. The class spelled about one hour. At re cess the boys played a game of ball, which they seemed to en joy. After being called together again the friends were enter taint d by the song. "Early in the Morning Send Me", which was sung by the school. Open ing recitation, by Wm. Stephens; "Be Quiet at Home." by Lucy "Co to School and be Careful to Learn." by Zulu Stephens; "A Bargain by two Lovers to Marry," by Jasper Sikes; "Come Join the Army," sung by the school; "When I'm a Man I Mean to Be." by 12 boys; "Lecture on Matrimony." by Fannie Williams; "Call the Reapers," by 5th and 6th grades; and ether recitations by all the pupils. The parents seemed well pleased at the way the school was managed this year. The committee stated that altogether the average was not sq large as usual they had a better school this year than they have had for sev eral years. An address to the children by Wright Pitman. We are better equipped for an educa tion now than our forefathers were in the dark days of fifties. The Caucasian race is looking forward p.nd trving to make good oitiz'-ns of the colored race by educating them when they will accept. Our schools seem to be crowded in January and Feb ruary; after this time they seem to go back to the farms and al low the attendance to fall below the averaee on account of so much cotton being planted. This j system of cotton planting seems j to be an injury to the school sys tem in Robeson county with both races. Compulsory school law for a few years would help con siderable. Let us give every-; thingits own proper time plant! our farms in the spring, work i them, in the summer, gather : them in the fall, then send our ' children to school in the winter until planting time again. Let j us plant less cotton, more grain, j raise more hogs, chickens and i other stock; then we can live at; home and board at the same place, as the saying is. We extend our sympathy to , ex-Gov. Aycock's widow and the ! other surviving members of the ! family. He was a great advo-; cate of education and hero ofj North Carolina, and he was: much loved not only by his own j race but by every one who knew j him. , The patrons and friends seem ed to enjoy the exercises very ! much and remarks were made j that the children seemed to im-! prove very much, though hinder ed by different causes, such as changes of books and diseases such as whooping cough and measles. Owing to the scarcity and demand we were compelled to use a few of the old books. Some of the money was paid by the patrons and kept by the teachers for nearly a month, when the books could not be ob tained and finally sent back to the parents. The pupils seemed not to like the Fourth reader and geography at first but at last liked them better than they did the old ones. When the school opened and was graded we had some very poor readers of the j 4th grade but by continual prac- A? J 1 1 A llL 1 - 1 i iice aay Dy aay me 4in graae De come nearly as good as the 5th. The sudden close of the school seems to bring about grief among the children. Erastus Humphrey Principal The House of Congress Thurs day empowered its banking and currency committee to make a sweeping investigation of the financial interests of the country; their relations to industrial transportation and banking in terests; and the extent to which their inter-relations may consti tute a "money trust."

D., Apr. 19- The Piney Grove colored school closed today, after a four-months' session taught by Prof. G, W. Bryant of Selma and Emma Pat terson of Laurinburg. This has been the most prosperous school that we have had for years. The children learned more in two months than in the whole term here-to-fore. Prof. Bryant is the best teacher we have ever had. He takes all necessary pains with the pupils and sees that they look well to the things that will make them honest and useful boys and girls. He is the man for this place. Our closing today consisted of recitations, declamations, etc. Among the greater speakers of today was Rev. Mr. Wells of Maxton and Mr. Deutown of this place. Many visiting friends and parents witnessed the program. Prof. Bryant is receiving hearty hand-shakes, as he will leave to-mo-TOw. We are all begging h;m to say he will teach for us again. We certainly hate to see him go, and we hope that the committee will get him next term. Federal Aid for Colleges. Charlotte Chronicle. Hon. A. F. Lever, of South Carolina, has introduced a bill in Congress, providing for exten sion work of the agricultural col leges, by Federal aid. He pro posee that each community shall have the benefit of instruction and demonstration in, agriculture and domestic economics. The bill calls for an appropriation of $10,000 for each State which will accept the responsibility of this extension work in connection with its agricultural and mechanical colleges. It provides for further appropriations of 300,000,000 a year for each succeeding year un til the gross expenditure shall amount to $3,000,000 annually. It seems that such work would exercise an important influence on the general farming work of the country. Senator Page, of New Hampshire, has also intro duced a bill in the benate for similar extension work, and in addition for vocational schools in industrial pursuits for actual working boys and girls.
