KINDERGARTEN AT EPWORTH CHURCH Church to Remain it Its Pres ent Location Public Library Added The Epworth church will not aban don its present location back of Peace Institute, and the lot, corner of Wil mington and Johnston streets, pur chased as a site for the new church, will be" sold. However. the present church will undergo extensive im provements and additions at a cost of between $S00 and $1,100. This was the decision reached at a meeting of the board of stewards, and Is In conformity with the idea of the pastor. Rev. J. M. Culbreth. Instead of moving up town the church will' rather try to make itself more accessible and useful to the people on Pilot Hill. The church will be remodeled and a Sunday school room, at least two thirds tha size of the church, will be added. This addition will contain a library and reading room which will be open from 6 to 9 o'clock in the ev ening during the week. Besides this library, which already contains many popular books, a kindergarten will be conducted by the most x:ompetnent teacher available. A small tuition fee will be charged. Rev. J. Marvin Culbreth. when seen by a Post reporter and asked about the plan, replied: "Yes, it may be nov el to have a kindergarten in connec tion with a Sunday school, but our work has been Impressed on us more and more with the Importance of reaching the little children. We have studied the cuestlon very carefully and believe that we can be of jrreat aid to the children, morally, mentally and physically, and render assistance to the parents by the establishment of the kindergarten with the church." The Epworth public library will as suredly be a success. During the past year special efforts have been made by means of the Epworth League, composed mostly of people from the Pilot mill, to cultivate a fondness of reading. Several young ladies and others have made talks at these meet ings, telling the story of one of Shake speare's plays or some standard novel. This has awakened a keen Interest and the demand for books has far ex ceeded the supply. from ''the sale of - swamp lands could posslblybe made. - Through its wise use it is confidently believed that the total value of school property in North Car olina will be increased far more than double the amount of loans made each year and that in the not distant future it will be possible to place a good com forKle school house in every proper district in the state, and to greatly improve the character ;f the public school houses all over the state.

Details as to Loans Made to Counties by State Board of Education As announced in The Post of Fridoy the state board of education has au thorized loans from the fund set aside for that purpose to a large number of counties for the erection, improvement and equipment of public school houses, Mr. Joyner said yesterday that loans have been allowed to 31 counties for 03 districts, to. build, improve, equip and buy 85 public school houses. The loans aggregate $46,286. The total cost of the buildings $104,315; 25 of the houses will b built accordlnr to plans adopted by the state board of educa tion contained in pamphlet sent out by the state superintendent, 14 are now in course of construction, in accordance with other but approved; plans; 9 will be repaired and enlarged; 8 are private academies bought for public school purposes: 23 of the districts are local tax districts. In 53 of the districts asking for loans consolidations have been made, and, In several, the prospects of local tax ation are good. In other districts con solidation will be made. The state, by lending $46,000 In these 31 counties secures public school houses costing more than twice that amount, adding more than a hundred thousand dollars to the public school property of the state and about a hun dred excellent public, school houses, constructed In accordance with the principles of- modern school' architec ture that will be a stimulus for better school houses and will make possible better schools and arouse more inter est -and pride In the chools, and will be an example and stimulus to all the surrounding districts, and In some in stances to the entire county. Of the 95 districts to which loans for houses have been made 31 have no houses and 34 have houses valued at less than fifty dollars, ranging in val ue from i to $50, including "log houses." - "shanties" and tenant houses." (The quotations are from ap plications.) Under the rules and regulations adopted by the state board, It will be sought through the use of this loan fund to build and imnrove public school houses In the needy districts first, and then, so far as posible, to stimulate reasonable consolidation of small districts, and self-help by pri vate subscription and local taxation. The above facts In regard to the first loans indicate a reasonable degree of success in the accomplishment" of these purposes. . Other counties are sending In appli cations for loans that will havo due consideration at the proper time. Some applications now In hand are held up for further information and Investiga tion. Every application Is carefully scrutinized and every protection possi ble will be thrown around this fund. No better use of this money arising i LOW RATES TO DURHAM . .
