The extreme warm weather recently has caused many of our armers to lose some pork. Some changes have been noted in the town since the coming of the new year. The town laws of Roxobel seem to have become null and void, and they are violated daily. Our streets are rougher than ever before ana tne Saturday . . M , J crowds have become likewise. Bricks, hatchets, bottles and profanity were the weapons used in the altercations that occurred here Saturday. We are growing worse, it seems. The new brie store of Nor fleet & Burkett is nearing com pletion and they hope to move in next month. Workmen are still tugging awav on the valued addition to th Baptist church and same will be completed ere long. The paint- era' hrush is oeing appneu u the part already finished.

State Director of Institutes. That the Geological Survey is not among the bureaus mention ed by the Public Printer as issu ing publications faster than thev can be distributed is indicated by tbe following extract from the Director's Annual Report: "The work done by the Survey finds public expression chiefly through its printed reports and maps, which are published in editions adapted to meet the de mand. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 1912, the number of reports printed (437,501) cor responded very closely to the number distributed (437,637.) The reports are sent out only on application."

T&acbers of 411 ol Our Schools Should Work Id Harmony lor the Gen eral Good ol All. The original conception of the public high school system was to create centers of educational in terest around which the general interest of the county might look :or advancement in all educa- ' tional lines, and to which tbe V short term Bchool might look for better methods and encourage ment. The high school, or graded echool, has the advantage of shorter schoolB. They have long er terms in which to do their work, usually they have better equipment rnd in most cases are be:t?r graded. In the Bhort school one teacher has charge of seven grades and certainly no , one expects her to do as effective work as the teacher in a well regulated high school where she has but two grades. The one teacher school i6 yet an absolute necessity and, in spite of its limitations, is giving ex cellent foundations for the future ;f many of our best boys and girls. The public high and grad ed ?ch ools of Northampton should - do all in their power to promote the interest of these schools, i Both belong to the indentical j system in which each has its pe- culiar place to fill. There is a ; mutual interest existing which ? ought to be made more efficient j and effective. -, Oa this account, in pl&nnir.c f our work ol the reading circle work for the present year we en- doavored to devise a scheme that , would bring the Two elements tr--'- ether both in spirit and work, hence the county is divided into j disLncts having centers at or near Garyeburg, Seaboard. Severn," ; Woodland. Jackson and Rich i Square. All teachers in the ; county should connect their in- terest with one of theae groups. 3 On the other hand, the high and j graded schools should try to reach the near-by teachers so that all ; may work together consistently j and with definite system in this I common cause. i As a means all teachers are re- quested to prepare some article 1; relative to school work, for pub- ? lication in the Roanoke-Chowan - Times. Some have responded with interesting and helpful ar ticles. We remember the splen did articles prepared by Miss . Hannah J. Starr and Mr. David ': H. Brown. Others have promis ed to do us this favor. We ex- , tend here a hearty invitation to all teachers and request them to jj hand in a contribution on any t subject of school interest The Editor is always glad to devote a reasonable portion of his excel lent paper to the cause l or which he has so nobly placed his heart and band.
