THE MOORE SUMMER SCHOOL. Twenty-Six Teachers Are There From Chatham —Crowded Place. Miss Clytie Foushee, Record corres pondent at Bynum, is attending the teachers summer school in Moore county, near Vass. In a letter to The Record a few days ago, Miss Foushee has the fol lowing to say in regard to the school: “There have been enrolled 98 teach ers, and preparations had been made for but 60, so you can imagine the comfort of an overcrowded building during the summer heat. Chatham should work for a sum mer school —the location is so much more convenient, near a railway to go in almost any direction and with more comfortable buildings. The location here is beautiful, but it is six miles from a station, there fore it is very inconvenient to get to and from, as there are no cars for hire nearer than six miles. There are 26 teachers here from Chatham, with only 5 more than that from Moore. Why couldn’t Chathanj and Randolph, with one or more counties, combine and have summer school at Bonlee next summer? I want the people of Chatham to know that we have much more desir able conditions for a summer school than some other counties.” NEWS ITEMS FROM ORE HILL. Ore Hill, Rt. 1, July 9.—Mr. and Mrs. M. L.
