The regular teacher's lamination will be held in the court house Thurs day and Friday, October the 8 and 0, beginning at 10 a. m. aaeh day. All teaebera wishing to take this exam ination should be present at this time, as thia ia the last examination that will be beld until next July. A few teachers have failed to eaD for their papers or grades given for work at the eonnty Institute. These papers are in my office and I would be very glad for the owners to call for same. I wish to call the attention to all students, who hare finished the gram mar school course the past year, that you are at hbery to enter our high schools, tuition free. Students in the upper part of the county are expected to enter ' at Wineeoff High School, those in the lower part of the coun ty at Rocky River High School. In casting about for some good method for improving the efficiency of the schools under my supervision it occurred to me that as the granting of diplomas to students finishing the 7th grade work has acomplished so much,' that perhaps the granting of a certificate of merit to all students, who are perfeetjn attendance during the coming year and the establish ment of a teachers' honor roll might play no little part in increasing the average attendance of students and tha improvement of the teaehers, pr regionally and otherwise. With this end in view, the County Board of Ed ucation will issue i certificate of merit to any student in the schools of Ca barrus county, regardless of age or grade, provided said student shall be perfect in attendance during the en tire school term. , The 'followin ginformation will be required of teachers, teaching in Ca barrus county t - 1.

The first year I spent in Greensboro, about 10 years ago, we had a great home-coming week, it was puulled on an elab orate scale, the late Charles D.

Girls Prefer Jobs to Getting Married VBicago, Uct. o. a lew vears ago when a girl left school she immediate ly began to hunt a husband, (idling married was her only outlook, ami the best chance she had of getting a home. Now it's different. When a Chicago girl leaves school these days she mi mediately hunts a job. 1 hen, when she has demonstrated her ability to support herself and, perhaps, eon tribute largely toward the upkeep of divers brothers and sisters she lei surely looks over the male of the species and selects one to suit her fancy. All of this is indicated by the new school census, according to W. I.. Bodine, superintendent of compulsory education. His figures show there are 759,778 males engaged in occupations in the city, compared with .xm,.i.") in 1909, while 230,81 1 females hold po sitions now, against 14f),8u7 in 1909. The men gain only 36 per cent while the women gained 58 per cent. These statistics show the women of today are fast breaking away from economic dependence on men." said Bodies. "Oirls are not now marry ing just to get a home. Statistics show that marriages ae not increas ing with the same percentage of gains as the population.
