We ap preciate the kindness of the Metho dist Protestant people to offer us their new church for the opening, and it is hoped that all parents will ask their children to be careful not to soil the church and especially to keep their hands off the walls. We want all pupils to be present the first day. Parents are urged to warn children to keep within the wired space to the front of the building while on the school grounds. We hope to have the hearty co-' operation of all parents. If parents j and teachers can work together, 1 1 see no reason why Asheboro should- j n t have a splendid and profitable school year for the children. Any parent wno does not understand the ! conditions and who has any complaint j to make of the school, the superin-: tendent will appreciate the parent's j coming to him. If there is something i wrong that he can adjust, he will gladly do so if for the best interest , of the children; however, he cannot; show special favor to one child if he! feels that it will be detrimental to the best interest of all I believe we have a good teachine force and that they will exert every effort for the best interest of your children. Help and encourajre them all you can, parents. All teachers are asked to meet at the school building Saturday morn ing at nine o'clock. At two o'clock Saturday, pupils who failed on work last year and who were told to make it up during the summer should meet at the Superintendent's office in the school building. Further instructions will be given the pupils at the oneninar exercises "Monday morning. W. H. McMAHAN, Superintendent Go-to-Church Sunday Observed.

With the kind indulgence of vour readers, the writer would offer here- nth a few timelv comments on the following clipping from the Greens- boro Daily News, of September 4th: "A committee from the city Par mis contains approved rooming an boarding houses and desirable restau- rants. a majority are expected tomorrow "" vel y win De met. ine entertainment committee with Mrs. Benbow as head, has been at work since the beginning of the summer on these plans which win take care of the teachers efficiently. By August 1, Mrs. Benbow procured a list of the prospective faculty and mailed each member a postal card of welcome, stating that the associa tion was ready to help in the settling; of any and all difficulties. Return cards were attached asking for each teacher's preference as to location, etc." v Now that strikes some of us, a few perhaps, as mighty thoughtful. Ia there not something of a lesson in It for Asheboro? You bet. The writer has barely met our new Superintendent, an, personally, has never heard him mention the matter one way or the other; but we have it on excellent authority that at one pme ne had almost despaired of unit ing suitable homes for the teaches; who have been invited to come fcei to work this year in our local school. The stock excuse of many is thai, it really is not convenient; othfiBs simply don't want to be botheTei while a limited few seem obsesSeM ' with the idea that "keeping a boarii er" or two is not exactly the thimr for "smart" folks to do. And that is not all. Have our teachers in past vears been always accorded the same con sideration they would get in their own home towns? Or in Greensboro, or a thousand other places? Is 4 not a fact that. whteher In tentionally or unintentionally, the rule has been more or less to turn the cold shoulder? Why, some years ago, the writer was told by a young lady that, after a year in the sctaoal hero, in which she had held a re sponsible position, not once was she invited into a single home in a social way. And vet that vounir la.lv far as good qualities, birth, breeding; j , ' . ' u cany environment go. was on level with anybody anvwhere.
