In 1917. 1918 and 1919, we all became intoxicated, some became delirious. Most of us are ; sobering up considerably, but the school folks seem to be slow in sobering up; they seem slow to v learn the lesson that was pre ; sented to all of us last September . and each month since; thev seem , ' not to realize that a $75.00 suit a 'year ago is $35.00 now, 80 cent .

Then I think our public schools' ' are afflicted with too great a - -number of meetings, both county ' and state, or, general meetings. J , . think our churches are suffering ( somewhat with thesame things. The good accomplished does not justify the expense incident . thereto. I believe children ought to play a good deaf, and that parents as well as teachers should y' encourage play, but there should i be a limit somewhere. I can but : feel that there is too much time V and money . wasted; on playa of various kinds by our school folks. Parents who would be glad to train their children to work a '' little, and earn to be of apme : i service and help, are not ocly de . prived of doing so,., but have to furnish money and buy unoeces- 'aary clothing, some of whonjjcan T '$ afford to do eot in ojdii1 hat l,he y6ungsters,'nar'ifuii;allyer P, ihe ,; country ana keep'anlth 'jaiattB6Bf';tJsi.f , v'JThere ''are too many Items of : expense connected wltb.bur pub iVlic school system as ihov eoddet: , ea. .too great a per cint . of . ppiJ. taxes hie rtauutd for. tcheu ; Salaries tr no w:'tofi'grfi,f!mf lor laBtvyearitBnd'rbeli) bii -.n0Wi lc .it useless lQ .mtriii.i them'io comparison iltnAotli&i things I kn m yo j.sty t"cherit Pendleton News.

There were between seventy-five and a hun dred representative women from alt parts of tbe county who met in the court house at the call of Miss Ethel Kelly, our very effi cient county supervisor.and Miss McLawhorn, the able leader of home demonstration work in the county. Miss Mazie Calvert, in a most appropriate manner made the ladies welcome to tbe historic county seat. Her style, her pleasant manner of delivery and her most' charming personality made every one feel as if Jack son belonged to them for the time at least Mrs. J. B. Stephenson of Sev en responded to the address of welcome in a pleasing, humorous way. She assured the people of Jackson that it was a pleasure to be in their beautiful old town. x Miss Kelly, who presided over the meetiug, now made a most appropriate talk. She told the ladies present that it is impossi ble to have a good community without a good school. We must build up our own community. Rich Square is not responsible M .... 1 k TV l. DM We must all pull for our own communities Friendly rivalry is all right. At the same time be interested in the progress of the whole county. She said there are over 2000 children of school age in the county. When one is not in school it is pulling down to the whole Community. It is somebody's fault. She thought it was the fault of the teacher as well as the community. It. is somebody's duty to see that all the children are in school. Miss McLawhorn now made a few remarks in which she told the ladies of the great possibili ties Northampton has. She urged tbe women in these strenuous times not to spend foolishly but wisely. She wanted them to see to it that tbey were provided with the best food in order that they might do their best work. She told something of what had been done in the county during the past winter in the way of se lecting clothing, cutting out gar ments, hat making, cooking, etc. She thought her work was so closely allied with the Better ment work that one could not be interested in one without being interested in the other. Miss Kelly now called for re ports from tbe different Better ments in the county. The fol lowing Associations made most interesting reports: Conway. Woodland, ; Lasker, Potecasl, Jackson, Milwaukee. Severn,(Re hoboth. Seaboard. Newtown. Mt. CarmeL y Rich - Square, Mclver and Pendleton. . These reports were exceedingly interesting and were ft yery helpful part of the program. The county Better ments made nearly $4500.00 dur ing the year. Mr. GY W. Bradshaw, Supt, of Rich Square State High School, now" made a splendid talk on the subject, "What the teacher ex pects of the Betterment." Mr. Bradshaw thought If the sole aim and purpose of Betterment was to make money and spend it, tha existence of It would aot be jazzed.- lie wu glad there wmemre!n bigger for them Special Notice To Ex Service Men Every ex-service man in North ampton County is urged to attend a meeting of the Northampton Post of the American Legion, Tuesday night. May 24th. af Rich Square. This meeting wilt be held immediately after tbe con cert given by Vierras' Hawaiian Singers and Players. Come, bring your friends, and enjoy a pleasant evening, as well as attending to business of im portance to every member of tbe Post By the Commander. to do. The cooperation of school and community which is made possible by such an organization ib worth more than all tbe money they make and spend. No teach er or set of teacher can operate a successful school without the support and cooperation of the community. The Betterment largely represents the communi ty. It is part of the Betterment's job to make a new teacher when she arrives feel like Bhe is a part of the community. The Better ment can help the social life. It can ward off criticism. It can do more for -the discipline of the school than tbe teacher, can do. He urged the women to be boost ers, ,to discourage community gossip and dissension. He toldi them they must not only be in terested in the teachers, ; the school and tbe pupils, but that; they must let then)' knew, theyV are interested in them..' parent'. (ldajc the school and see white. boy and cirl fa , doing. He . also thought that there is no better way to work up school spirit than by eocouraging wholesome. clean athletics in the sch ool. Get behind the boys and girls an 1 let them know you are behind them; it will make men and women out of them In the afternoon. Miss 3 firr- dell, dome Demonstration Agent: in Hertford County, made a short talk in which she told about the county council in her county and the wonderful things which this council, composed of a few of Hertford's leading women, has done for the betterment of home condition's existing there. Miss McLawhorn, now in a few well chosen remarks intro duced the principal speaker for the day in the person of Mrs. Jane S. McKimmon, State Home Demonstration Agent. No woman in the State has done as much for the girls and women of North Carolina as Mrs. McKimmon has done and she is loved by thou sands who have known her or felt her benefitting influence. Mrs. McKimmon, with her char acteristic pleasant smile rose to speak while the audience was still applauding. Her pleasing manner, her stately figure, . her; wonderfully remarkable person-, ality made a fine impression on; the audience at the very Jbegin-f ning and every one listened In-- tentively to every word she had: to say. . V : , '. I Mrs. ; . McKimmon began by;, urging the ladiet present to see to it that their husbands bad the! proper, kind of food, and also that it was properly prepared. She told them not .to let their bus- bands look as if they were prac- : ticed upon. She thought it a sad' thing to see a ' young man go' through school and college and', train himself , for life's- duties,;'! and then marry a girl who has; neglected the proper? training which every girl should &ave.1 She asked the ladies U they wereV eeing to it that fteir girls were - ' (CetttinMd oa yagi t) ? rr t ,yy0r y 1 i. ; t- ; ' ' yyy yi-yv i y t k 4 -
