COLORED TEACHERS’ MEETING On Saturday morning, February 11th. the colored teachers’ of the county a f the public* school • in Pittsboro for their third meeting for this school year. '-•wing to the fact that measles, mumps and colds are prevalent in trie different districts the attendan jce oi teachers failed to be up to ihe usual mark. The meeting was called to order by the president, Rev. Roberts; Player and a beautiful rendition of ' I il Pray ’ was given by the teach ers. Professor Thompson, in his opening remarks, thanked the teach ers lor their hearty co-operation in the educational work of the county. He spoke of the prospect of a new school building for Siler City and how the tendency now is to do away with the old-time one room buil dings and build better and larger ones; by having such buildings all hings else being equat, we can help the children more—do better work ourselves and help the communities more in which we teach. Miss Coltrane, teacher for the class in Teacher-Training, gave us an interesting talk on “How to Make our Work Worthwhile in ,the Schools by Teaching”; the habits of taking care to try' and have healthy bodies by sleeping eight hours, eat ing fruits, plenty of play in the open. She made these points very plain—that it takes a healthy body to do the mental work that teachers must do each day. Giving the child too much work to take home is not to be encour aged. - Children are best off with super vised study periods at school. The teachers advised to let their business be done mostly at the school. W r e then had a round table dis cussion. ' A vote of thanks was given Miss Coltrane for the very helpful infor mation she had given us. Our next meeting will be at the Mitchell school —Lubia Taylor prin cipal. The teachers are always glad to go to Mitchell, as principal Tay lor, generally winds up the day with refreshments of the season. ' All teachers take due notice that the next meeting will be the 3rd Friday in March. DR. FEW THINKS COLLEGES MANY UNWORTHY STUDENTS ATLANTA, Feb. 10.— many people are in American colleges that i should not be there, instead of too many people going to colleges, Dr. W. P. Few, president of Duke uni versity, declared here tonight in an address before Duke alumni. “I do not believe,” he said, “that too many people go to college in America; but I do believe that many are in college who ought not to be there, at any rate unless they had entered through a straighter gate. W r e are heeding Mr. Duke's (J. B. Duke, benefactor of the school)‘ re quest and exercising the utmost care to admit as students only those i whose previous record shows a ehar- I acter. determination and application, j evincing a wholesome and real am j bition for life.” MR. T. B. COLE DEAD Mr. T. B. Cole died last Thursday at the home of his brother, Mr. A. E. Cole, in the upper part of the coun tv. Mr. Cole had never been mar ried.

Her remains were laid to rest in a bed of flowers in the cemetery at 11 o’clock, where many friends and kindred gathered to pay their last respects to one we all loved.

Walter White, a notary public of Johnson City, Tenn.* who was lodged in jail here Sunday, Feb. 5, 'on a charge involving him in the conspiracy alleged against member? of a automobile theft gang, gave boad Saturday and left for his home that evening. However, he had to go to Raleigh first to get his car. Mr. White did not stand upon his constitutional rights and refuse to confd to North Carolina without extradition papers. On the contrary, he -and his wife drove over to Raleigh from their Tennessee home and placed himself in the hand of the state police force. From Rar j he was escorted to Pittsboro. The charge against the Tennessee ! man is supposed to be that he aided and abetted the thefts by falsifying title papers. But Mr. White states that he simply did in the case of the forged papers what he does in case of honest ones—merely signed and placed his notarial seal. The bond is a cash one of $2,500, the money being wired from John son City. He is out, but will have to come back for the May term of court, at which, the appearance is, there will be witnesses from several states.

The same students are said to have identified Grady Pugh as one of the men connected with the Elon robbery* while citizens of Bennett have identified Rainey as one of the Bennett robbers. Sheriff Storey of Alamance was here Friday also. The Jackson wo man was taken Sunday to Wentworth | MOTHER | | A Cross, Sick Child is Constipated!
