High School Coarse Extended. Grammar Grades Reorganized. Effic iency in All Branches. S. F Pa terscn Donates Play Ground Apparatus SCHOOL MOVING PICTURE CIRCUIT The Roanoke Rapids Graded Schools opened Wednesday with the largest enrollment for the first day in the history of the school. The number present be ing 766. Already this number has been increased and when the new pupils are all registered next Monday the enrollment will doubtless pass the 800 mark. This compared with the enroll ment last year indicates the rapid growth of the school. The total enrollment for the first month last year was only 701. The en rollment for the entire district this year including both white and colored will pass the 1000 mark. The school begins this year with a great many of the old teachers retained. The number of teachers is increased to 20 and the work of the high school is extended to form a full four year high school course. As far as possible only teachers who have college training and Borne exper ience have been employed. The school begins this year's work with the best teaching force it has ever had. With these well trained and experienced teachers this should be the best year of the school. In the high school the course of study has been extended to fulfill all the requirements for entrance Into any A grade college. After this year our high school graduates will be able to enter college or university without 1 conditions and without examina tions. The High School teachers are Mr. H. J. Pope, Principal and teacher of Mathematics and Science; Miss Mary B. Powell, teacher of History and English; Miss Helen Weaver, teacher . of Latin and Modern Languages. In the Grammar Grades the departmental plan of instruction has been adopted. In this way a teacher can specialize on certain subjects and all her work being along the same line she can be come more proficient Miss Ro berta Crews wiil teach Arithmetic and Drawing; Miss Josephine Boycewill have the English de partment: Mr. Holland Brantley, Science and- Penmanship; Miss Lillian Edgerton, History. In the Primary department a new department has been intro duced, in the form of an ungraded class. The purpose of this class will be to assist in the regrading and classifying of those children who are for any reason behind In this work. Every year there are a number of children who lose from one week to one month from school or who are late in entering. It is the purpose of these ungraded classes to take these children and give them individual attention until they are able to keep up with the grades in which they normally belong. Miss Clara Hearne will have charge of the ungraded class at the Central Building and Miss Julia Black will have the class at the Rosemary Building. The other teachers are Miss Sarah Waller, third grade; Miss Lily Strauther and Miss Elmyra Jenkins, second grade; Miss Myrtle Bain and Miss Vivian Gary, first grade for the Central building. Miss Sue Watkins, third grade; Miss Alice Medlin and Miss Mary Smith, second grade; Miss Lucy Ellis and Miss Lerraine Isley, first grade; Miss Mizelle, fourth grade for the Rosemary building. Through the generosity of Mr. S. F. Patterson the Central build ing will be supplied this year with a complete set of playground apparatus. Instruction in games and physical culture is to be made a part of the regular work of the school. Mr. Patterson is always ready to help the school and the community and he could hardly 1 . . - i a a nave renaerea a Detter service to the community than by mak ing this gift It is also planned to enter into a circuit of schools in Eastern North Carolina whereby instruc tion may be given through the medium of motion pictures.

Noted Lecturer Raps Housewives, Soda Fountains and Restau rants. Says Average Home is Unsafe "Dirty Dishwashing" was the subject of one of the lectures of a noted dietitian, who didn't mind telling even expert house wives of the dirty, insanitary practices that went on daily in their kitchens. And she didn't stop with the housewives and kitchens but rapped thesoda foun tains and the restaurants to the health of the people who patron ized them. In a recent lecture to would-be-cooks and observing housekeepers, she said: 'The average home represented here this morning is absolutely unsafe as far as cleanliness of the dishes is concerned, I dare say mat many oi mem are posi tively dangerous. I have been in many a 'well to do' home and found that if the housewife kept a kitchen maid, that she paid no attention whatever to the way the dishes were washed, and if she didn't keep a maid, she washed them no better herself. 'There seems to be an almost universal belief that lukewarm water, a little soap and any kind of an old rag will clean dishes. People don t seem to know that to actually cleandishes, particular ly cups, glasses, f arks and spoons. of dangerous mouth secretions, which is the means of spreading most of our contagious diseases from tuberulosis to whooping cough, that it is necessary to scald them. Some people for fear of breaking their glasses never scald them. They don't know that if water is poured on the out side and inside at the same time, so that the glass expands evenly on ootn sides, mat there is no danger of breaking them. Recently I helped a friend to wash her dishes after she had given a party including 60 people. Several women in the crowd had colds, and part of the gossip of the afternoon was that two others had tuberculosis. All that my friend did was to wash them Rosemary Baptist Church Rev.

Fuck. give mem to me dry in a much used drying towel. V hen I remonstrated with her for not scalding them, she calied me a crank. It is not only practicable but it saves labor to have a pan or pot of boiling water in which to dip the dishes, especially the cups, knives,' forks and Fpeonr, after they have been washed. This saves drying them and leaves them clean and glistening, and is easily done by arranging them in wire baskets. "Perhaps the worst of danger ous, dirty dishes are those served you at the soda fountains and some quick lunch counters. I have never understwid why the government legislated against the common drinking cup and allow ed soda fountains to serve out of dishes and spoons unsterilized. I have watched many a counter man wash spoons which he did by dipping them in cold water and wiping them in a dirty towel hanging by his side or under the counter. But the public seems satisfied and that is why such practices are allowed, I guess. It is no wonder that diseases spread in mysterious ways." The rublic will te welcomed at these services.
