The teacher in charge of this I possible: room is Miss Dorothy Jump, and she has summed up the results of this experiment in the following report which she presented at a recent meet ing of the Pinehurst Parent-Teachers Association. The report says: The Opportunity Room, as you know, consists of a group of 24 chil dren, aged between 6 and 14 years, and representing individuals removed from a number of grades and of standing so far below average as to hamper the advance, not only of themselves, but of the norma! chil- dren in their various former groups. As you also know, the Opportunity Room, themselves, selected Mrs. Francis T. Keating for their grade mother and she has certainly been a ' real mother to these children. It is through her untiring efforts that many changes have been brought a- bout in their lives, physically, men tally and socially. We hope that they tisntm ♦♦ n n 1. Three children were sent to the hospital to have tonsils and adenoids removed. 2. Three children were sent to Dr. Henderson for dental treatment— who the County Health Officer, Dr. Symington, found needed special im mediate attention. 3. Four children have been sent to the school cafeteria every day through the whole year for hot lun ches; four others have been sent for several weeks at a time because they had been sick or operated upon or were unduly thin. 4. One child was kept at the hos pital three months prior to and during ’ the time of his operation, then was | returned several times for treatment.

Men of means secure tracts of ground on which to establish themselves in the immediate future. The sign is as plain as a track in the snow. Next winter will see more additions to the colonies that are building for winter play grounds in the Sandhills. Acreage sites, from five to thirty acres, well located, conven ient to everything, are not too many now in the community. When a further retirement of the lands now available has taken place the man who wants a choice location will hunt for it, and pay a bigger price. These Midland Farms acreage sites are in the Heart of Eveiy- thing. They will be surrounded by the finest homes of the Sand hills before long. You have your pick of locations now. The price is still acreage price. But these conditions cannot last indefinitely. The man who at one time could have bought the site of the present city of Chicago for a pair of boots is dead now. That is why he isn’t still reproaching himself for not buying it. . Look at the development on the Midland road from Pinehurst to Knollwood. Then figure three or four years more of it.
