The feast bears the name of "Pu rim," because it is recorded that Ha man, ithe arch enemy of , . the Jews sought to fix the day' of their destruc tion by casting "Purim," which ac cording to a popular etymology given in the Book of Esther, means "lots," Ths feast is more social in character than religious.

"A rural school in Johnston county visited on Wednesday, is about, fif teen or twenty miles from Smithfield. For several miles before reaching the school we could see wagons, buggies and automobiles, crowded with the friends, patrons and pupils, and all gbing1 .toward the three-room school building where the . commencement was to be held. Even with the very threatening weather and rain later, there were over 0O people at this meeting. "There, are nine schools in this group, all staking part in the exerr cises, which included the following program,: "Welcome by the principal of the school. "Recitation contest. The 9 schools were represented by girls from the fourth ..grade up. "Declamation contest. Nine boys contested if or the honor of represent ing that particular groop of schools at the" county commencement ., "Singing contest, duets, quartets and sextets from ithe different schools, which -gave selections from "old time', songs. This number was a very pleasing and enjoyabjo feature of the program. "The winners in nil the contests will represent the group of schools at the county commencement ito be held at 'Smithfield, on April 7." "The friendly rivalry between the schools taking part in the contests was plainly an incentive for each one bo do his best. Those who were not so fortunate as to win are already planning to first, attend the county commencement ' and encourage the group representatives; second, mwke every effort ito do better next year and hoping that their school will win. next spring at the group center com mencement. "The girls taking part in the exer cises made the dresses they wore just plain, inexpensive, sensibly planned white dresses. They have organized sewing clubs 5n these schdols, where the pupils who are members of the clubs receive instruc tion from the teacher One afternoon each week of the school term. . "The next number on the program was intensely interesting ito all present. It was a demonstration les son in the moonlight school work. A pupil; about fifty years ; old stated from the 'platform ithat previous to October, 1915, he could not read a letter, nor could he write his name or make figures. He read , severad paragraphs from the book used in the moonlight school and read well. He then wrote his name on the black board, showing a fair degree of ease. legibility and rapidity in .the, writ ing. This pupil expects to continue his studies until he has the ability tQ read papers and write letters, etc. "An educational address along ithe lme.rf better rural schools waa very attentively listened to hy the, inter ested audience.
