A PRAYER IN VERSE Subscribe for the Times. $1 year Make me too brave to lie or be unkind. Make me too undvstanding, too to mind The little hurts companions give and friends. The careless hurts that no one quite intends. Make me too thoughtful to hurt others so. Help me to know The inmost hearts of those for whom I care. Their secret wishes, all the loads they bear. That I may add my courage to their own. May I make lonely folks feel less alone And happier ones a little happier yet May I forget What ought to be forgotten and recall Unfailing all That ought to be recalled, each kindly thing, B''orgetting what might sting. To all upon my way Day after day Let me be joy, be hope. Let my life sing. — Mary Carolvn Davies.

COUNFY PARENT-TEACHER MEETING Book Week Observed in County-Rich Square’s Good Showing—Some Teachers Indifferent The second meeting of the Northampton County Parent- Teacher Association met Friday of last week in the office of Supt. P J. Long, with Miss Blanche Penny, County Supervisor, act ing as leader. A number of schools have not observed book week as was re quested while others have given very little attention to this im portant work, and these are en couraged to get busy in order to get together a nice collection of books for a grade library. Rich Square reported having procured over 700 books which was the best showing cf any school in the county. The importance of this work cannot be too much im- phosized for it is in school that we acquire che habit of reading good books, if we ever do. Miss Penny wanted us to urge every local Association to send in a report each month. The subject which, perhaps, took up as much time as any one topic di'scussed was the lack of interest the teachers generally and in a number of places; par ticularly, take in Sunday School and church. It was reported that in some towns in the county some of the teachers have never attended Sunday School or church since they came to the county, The general opinion was that they were making a great mis take, by setting such an example to say nothing of the great amount of good they might be , able tQ do if they would become frequent visitors at our various places of worship. The week of January 10th to 14th has been set aside as Parent Week and it is hoped to make this one of the most interesting as well as one of the most pro fitable weeks of the whole school ye^r. The next and last meeting for the year will be in April, the date and further announcement to be made later. Mrs. David H. Brown, Secretary. Miss Hamrick Honored Conway, Dec. 11.—An event of unusual charm and interest was that at the Teacherage re cently when Mrs. T. R, Everett and Miss Jessica Moore enter tained at a beautiful lingerie shower in honor of Miss Kath leen Hamrick, bride elect of De cember.
