v Raleigh, April 16. The one-teacher
school so characteristic at the be
ginning of the North Carolina system
of public education is disappearing at
the rate of about 200 per year, ac
cording to the number of "State School
acts, official publication of the State
Superintendent of Public Instruction.
In 1901-'02, that publication points
out, there were 7,867 schools of that
type in the State. In 1928-'29, the
number had been reduced to 2,096, of
which number 988 are attended by
white children and 1,108 by colored
children.
The entire number, School Facts
continues, are rural elementary
schools; for under the law no one-
teacher hisrh school can be establish
ed, and the density of school popula
tion does not warrant hte establish
ment of such scall schools in city sys
tems.
The decrease, it is stated, has come
about largely as a result of the pro-
grom of purposeful consolidation and
adoption of the principle of pupil
transportation at public expense. The

made possible and consequently con
solidations effected more rapidly dur
ing the past decade by the building
of good roads throughout the State.
This improvement of State and
county highways has accentuated the
speed of elimination of one-eacher
schools, the departmental paper con
tinues. With the improvement of
transportation facilities, a greater
percentage of one-teacher school has
been eliminated. From 1901-'02 to
1908-'09 there was a 21 per cent de
crease in number of one one-teacher
schools; from 1908-'09 to 1918-'19 a
29 per cent decrease and from 1818
'19 to 1928-'29 a 52 per cent de
crease
Thirteen counties, Brunswick, Cam
den, Culberland, Durham, Edgecom
be, Gates, Greene, Hoke, Lenoir,
Mecklenburg, Pasquotank, Richmond
and Wilson, do not now have one
teacher schools for white children. In
five counties, Avery, Dare, Haywood
Jackson, and Macon, there are noe
one-teacher colored schools.

busy trying to keep up with Obadias
Stumps, the fresh country product
who serves as bell boy. The hero,
Mr. Bobbs, goes to the hotel and is
mistaken for a burglar. The sur
prises continue through a "happy-ever-after"
ending. The roles are al
most equally important, and hence
there is no lull during the entire
drama.

graduating exercises will be held in

Whv wear a frown
When the rest of the world is gay?
Whv net the blues.
When a smile will chase them away?
Here's my motto:
'Though I admit it's hard to do,
To smiler, sing
When you're lonely and down-hearted
too.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox
Hit the nail upon the head.
She wrote a pretty poem
And this is what she said,
"Laugh, and the world laughs with
you;
Weep, and weep alone!
For the sad old earth must borrow
its mirth,
But has trouble enough of its own.
Sing, and the hills will answer;
Sigh, it is last on the air
The echoes bound to a joyful sound,
But shirk from voicing care.
Rejoice and men will seek you;
Grieve, and they turn and go,
They want full measure of your
pleastre,
T5nt thev do not need your woe.
Be glad, and your friends are many;
Be sad, and you lose them an,
There are none to decide your nec
tar' d wine.
Rut alonp vou must drink life's gall.
Feast, and your halls are crowded;
Fast, and the world goes by
Succeed and give, and it helps you
live.
But no man can help you die.
There is room in the halls of pleas
ure
For a large and lordly train
But one by one we must all file on
Through the narrow aisles of pain."

(By Preston Mcintosh)
A star comes forth at evening,
To shine half blushingly,
And twilight dons a purple robe
To make the night more kindly.
Timidly, as if afraid,
The evening star the myriads leads,
Forth from the azure atmosphere,
A thousand starlets golden deeds.
Ah , twilight star shine first
At nite when stars are rare,
Let me look to you for hope;
When I breathe my evening prayer.
Beautiful, evening star,
Faith has made you so!
Shine loves' forgiveness on this
world,
As did a star in the long ago.

Announcement
We suppose everybody some
time has wanted to run a news
paper of their own.
We plead guilty, not only , on
that score but also to wanting to
be an editor.
We'll promise to be interesting
all the time.
I. S. London of the Post
Dispatch says running a newspa
per is full of grief, but if we in
sist, he'll rent us this little corner
each week, and it'll be up to us to
make good.
So we'll be here every Thurs
day with this paper, in which we
will talk about
You people,
Our Community,
It's Improvements.
and maybe a little bit about our
hardware business.
But we'll need your help with
criticisms, comments, and contributions.
The Post-Dispatch has recently
published big fish stories. Carl
Shores caught two bass on one
hook, Watt Long landed a 7
pounder, etc. Of course all 'this
is true, but it is remarkable the
rapidity with which fish grow out
of water.
We carry plenty of fishing
tackle in this store the kind
guaranteed to catch big fish.
