Visitors at High School I Must Observe Hours Visitors to the Junior-Senior High School Building are re quested to confine their" visits to between the hours of three to four in the afternoon. This re quest is made on account of the fact that work on the new build ing is being interfered with by the coming of visitors at all hours and the Board of School Trustees feels that it is best to have visitors received at a stated time. Visitors between three and fcur o'clock are welcome and will be shown over the new building by someone there in charge. Opening of School Deferred One Week On account of an unusual a mount of work preliminary to the opening of school and the unfinished condition of the new building, it has been decided to postpone the opening of the next term one week. The public .may therefore expect the various grades and the high school as well to open Monday, September 19 at nine o'clock. All children living in Roanoke Rapids and all in Patterson Town on the north side of the small stream which runs through the village will enter the old Central Building for work in the first four grades. All children in Rosemary and Patterson Town on the south side of the stream will go to the Rosemary School for work in the first and second grades. All other children will go to the New High School Build-; ing. In other words, only two grades will be taught in Rose. mary and only four in Central. Enrollment of New Children There are probably 300 children in the community who will enter school thisyear for the first time. In order to avoid confusion on the opening day it has been de cided to enroll all beginners next Thursday, September 15. All children who expect to attend the Central School for the first time should report to Miss Hearne at nir.e o'clock next Thursday. At the same hour all new children for the Rosemary School should report to Miss Weaver in1 the Rosemary School Building. All other children not previously en rolled should report to the Super intendent in the new Building.

WITH THE CHURCHES All S- ints' Church (Episcopal) Rev. Lewis N. Taylor, Rector Mri. (Catherine Webtter, Pariih Worker Roanoke Avenue The Meeker, Colorado Herald says: "Our reporter went to the Epis copal Church last Sunday morn ing in a critical frame of mind, prepared to find fault w ith the services. He came away in a thoughtful mood. Perhaps the fact that he was impressed in spite of himself might add some force to his impressions. The one dominating thought was that the service was devotional and reverent, and seemed to express the spirit of worship. Somehow you felt that you were in the presence of Almighty God. I used to think that the details of ritual worship were foreign to American ideals of religion, and were certainly not scriptural. I find this is inherited prejudice, and that the Bible is full of such accessories of public worship. I came away feeling that hereafter I should go to church to worship God, and not simply to hear a sermon, no matter how good it may be. I think that I know now why a person should kneel when he prays. I, for one, am going to quit measuring Almighty God by the limits of my own mind. Perhaps the church is right after all."
