Host feasant Session of tbe Year -Betterment Association Elects ' f New Officers. The last meeting of the current Bchool year convened at Jackson on the 5th inst. The weather was propitious and all nature seemed to call one out to partake of its beauty. Consequently the long drive, which some of the teach ers were under the necessity of taking to reach the county seat, waiv restful rather than Weari some. It seemed very much in keep ing with the occasion that the social element should receive more than usual emphasis at this time. We could hardly tell all the happy features of the day with out Riving; pain to the absentees who should read about it. As it would seem unkind to voluntarily inflict pain it may be wise to re port only part of the unusual pleasure attending this meeting. The noon hour was observed in a very happy way. All sat on the ground and partook of a good old-fashioned picnic dinner. Even the County Superintent threw off his accustomed dignity, placed himself in the same humble bodily position and aided greatly in the enjoyment of this function. The first number on the pro gram was "Music as a Factor in Education," by Ethel Skinner. She showed what appeared to her to be the advantages accru ing from having this subject on the school curriculum, giving a brief history of music from ear liest times. . . She was followed by Margaret C. Brown on "Vital Points in Re gard to Malaria." She believed that all teachers should teach their students the important facts concerning tbe nature, cause and prevention of the disease, be cause it depended, in her opinion, on the children of the present day to carry out means in future years for the eradication of this preva lent disease. Various teachers then took part in a discussion, led by Supt. P. J. Long, on "School Credits for Home Work. " It was thought that this system, if tactfully fol lowed out, would bind the home and school closer together. The audience was later treated to a deeply interesting and in spiring talk on "How to Get Co operation of the Adolescent Pu pil," by Supt. D. B. Bryan. He had been asked to give this talk on account of his own success in this direction. The gravity of the countenanced as he proceeded showed that the very souls of his hearers were fired with a realization of the im Dortance of understanding this particular age in students. Teach ers sometimes forget that they are duty bound to train anv part except the intellect, They often fail in deaiing with pupils of this age because they do not under stand the psychological and phy siological changes taking place in their being. They must have per sonal talks w,ith these students in order to get their sympathy and co-operation. Failure on the part of the student to doi work given him by the teacher is fre quently on account of utter in ability caused by adolescent growth. . The Woman's Betterment As sociation elected the following officers for the ensuing year: i President Harriet Bowen. Vice-President Mina t Hollo man. V :v :i Sec.Treas. Ethel Hunt. Just before the meeting closed Supt Long gave tbe teachers NORTHAMPTON COTTNTf. N. C, THURSDAY, an encouraging message express ing his agpreciation of their good attendance during the year and honing to meet all the coming year. H. J. S.

Captain Carlton Puts tbe Naturalists to Guessing. From The Steteavill. Landmark. A Landmark man was admir ing a fine large hornet's nest in Capt. P. C. Carlton's office the other day when the captain re marked that notwithstanding diligent search of books and in quiry among people,he had never been able to learn where hornets stay in winter. Some people say they stay in the ground, but who in digging or plowing ever saw any hornets in the ground? asks the captain. Others say the hor nets stay in old dead trees in winter, but who ever saw hor nets in a dead tree? again asks the captain, and these questions remain unanswered. Ad so all these years Captain Carlton's quest of the vVinter regort of the hornet8 has been fruitless. Had you thought about it and have you any ide?. where hornets stay in winter? One who has looked into the matter says one hornet begins the work oi building the big nfsts you sometimes see, such as Captain Carlton has in his office. Af er the one hornet starts the nest an egg is laid. When that is hatched more hornets are ad ded for nest building, and so on until there is a colony. ' Another thing Captain Carlton has thought about the hornets, is what they will do for material to' make nests when the fences are all gone. The hornets gather from weather-beaten wooden fences, especially old rail fences, the material lor nettf. The rail fences have about disappeared an old-fabhioned rail fence being almost a curiosity; and soon wooden feDces of any knd will be unknown, wire taking the place of wood for fencing But doubtless the hornets are aware of this and are looking "vt for other material for nests. Insurance Against Ball In Bulgaria. American Minister John B. Jaekeon, Bucharest, Roumania. There is at present, strictly speaking, no governmental in surance against loss of crops by hail and drought in Bulgaria. Until about two years ago there appears to have been some sys tem of governmental insurance against hail, but none against drought, but bv a law which re cently went into force such in surance is now carried by the National Cooperative Bank, a State institution on the lines of the National Bank, for which an annual appropriation of $120,000 is made bv the Government for forming and augmenting a re serve fund. Insurance is not ob ligatory. The country has been divided into 24 so-called hail districts in order to make the premiums con form more or less to the risks as computed from the statistical data of the past 15 years. The insurance covers 88 per cent of the losses occasioned by hail, and it is thought that for the past year nearly the whole of the re serve fund will have been con sumed. The year was exception al, however, and it is estimated that after the law has been in operation for a few years there will be a sufficient reserve fund to cover all eventualities. Should that fund prove 'insufficient in the meantime, there might be a proportional reduction in the , amount of compensation paid for losses, or a loan might be made from the Agricultural Bank. . X have been told that over $2,500,- 000 of insurance has already been contracted for m ".' .. '.( , . ':'.' '.1.:
