Ths street committee through its chairman, Mr. I. C, Drswry, Is making out Its regular monthly report which will be submitted to the next meeting of the board. It will outline the policy of the present administration in regard to street Improvement. Since the determlnatioa of the board to have no election on the bond Issus there has beea a more thaa usual amount of speculation as to ths forth. aiming report of the street commit tee. The Pbbsb-Vibitob is able to state that the committee la its report will recommend the curbing of every street In the city. While this Is a large undertaking, acd will take some time to eonsummste It is possible to curb the most prominent streets In ths city at no very distant date. The curbing of the streets mesns a good deal to ths city ,mors than would be eoneidered at Bret thought. When the struct shsll hsve beea curbed, the grsde of svsry sidewalk aad street in the city will have been obtained; more over the drainage will be made aa near perfect aa possible. At present, it Is very poor In some parts of the city. The committee will not stop with ths matter of enrbing, but the paving of ditches snd gutter lines to a width of three feet will also be done. With the pavements, goes ths brigade of dirt shovelers, For years a farce of men have been employed throwing dirt from the ditthes into the street. This system of work has always bsen more or leas criticised. By ret i log the dirt shovellers, a good largs sum in the course of year can be saved. . At present Salisbury street, between Martin and Hargett, Is being curbed. The committee In their report will recommend as a starter that ths curb ing on Salisbury street be continued on Satlebury from Hargett to Morgan streets. The eurblng of Hlllsboro from ths Capitol to the bridge, Pay ettevllls street from .Cabarrus to ths Centennial school. New Bern Aveaue from the Capitol to Blood worth Street, and Bloont from New Bera Arcane to North street will be recommended. This list includes ths principal streets of the city. After figuring the mat ter ont, it Is sbout sgreed that tha oost of enrbiug is 80 cents per running foot. The Street Committee, through Chief of Police Heartt, has notlfled properly owners on Hargett street, be. twet-a Farettevllle and Saliabury, and Salisbnry street, between Hargett aad Morgan, that they mutt repair their sidewslks either with brick, stone or cement to a width of Ave feet In front of residences and the entire width la front of business sstsbllshmsnts. When there are drivings, stone is re quired. With the inauguration of enrbing, bad sidewalka will have to go. Either brick, cement jr stone sre required for eurbed.sidswalka. NO POPULAR LOAN.

S too critical study of the selections read would decrease the interest of the children, and that the true ai u of sueh study should be to give the children the love of good literature and tha power of forcible eiprension of thought. Superintendent . A. Qrimsiey of Greenfboro followed with a talk nut lining the course of reading used in tbe Greensboro Graded Scboul. Superintendent D Matt Thomp on. of Stateaoilie. read, a paper on "The Teaching of Civics " He said that since statistics Bbow tbst over SO per cent, of th children in the puLlic schools of this country nevr reach the sixth grade, it is extremely important that instruction in civics should be given in tbe lower grades, that tbe children be taught ab jut the State and Federal government, h and tbe duties of cit'xenship.
