To the Teachers and Patrons of Kural
Schools.
We are giving below the Group
Center Schools, the schools belonging
to each group, with the program for
the first meeting and the date of the
meeting. The work for this school
year will be similar to last year's
work and it is the request of the
County Board of Education that each
teacher attend the meetings at their
sespective Gn>up Centers. Be ready
to discuss any of your school problems
and at the same time be ready to of
fer any helpful suggestions that you
may have found good in your work.
By these meetings we hope to come in
touch with individual problems that
cannot be reached in mass metings.
Then too, these are the groups that
will trp out together the preliminary
work for County Commencement.
Plans for this will be made at the
Group Meetings.
In the department to be conducted
for the women and girls we want to
discuss the every day problems; sim
ple inexpensive home conveniences;
preparation of food and ways of bal
ancing the food to promote health and
to equip each Group Center with the
?ecessary articles to have a Domestic
Science Department added to each
school. We want the women to come
together in order that they may know
each other better and work together
for the betterment of the community,
to help make the neighborhood a cen
ter of progress; to study home prob
lems that work may be easier and
health better.

Paderewski Coming (o Raleigh.
Following the brilliant success of
the Gerald ine Farrar recital a year
ago, the Rotary Club of Raleigh an
nounces the appearance on January
23rd, at the Raleigh auditorium, of
the celebrated Polish pianist Ignace
Paderewski.
The Rr.leigh Auditorium has been
the gathering place for people of cul
ture and musical appreciation ever
since it was built, and by means of
the auditorium only, it has been pos
sible to offer North Carolina people
an opportunity of hearing such artists
as Melba, Gadski, Nordica, Amato,
Hempel, Kubelik, Damrosch, Bonci,
Campanari, Farrar and others. The
Rotary Club is the one organization
which has taken a positive stand with
sufficient backing to guarantee the
appearance of internationally known
stars. The Chamber of Commerce has
recently arranged to co-operate in the
presentation of other musical events
which will no doubt mean a great
deal to North Carolina.
Paderewski is making his brief tour
this year largely in the interest of
the war sufferers in his native land
Poland, and although he does not ask
for support on account of his desire
to aid his native people, he is very
generously giving a large portion of
his profits for relief of those stricken
people.
The Raleigh engagement is the only
one in this State, Lynchburg and
Columbia being the nearest points at
which the noted pianist will play. The
event will be conspicuous among the
educational institutions, a number of
them having already signified their
intention of being represented. The
various railroads leading into Raleigh
have assured adequate train service.
President Busbee announces that the
following committee from the Rotary
Club will have charge of the arrange
ments: John A. Park, Chairman; Geo.
J. Ramsey, D. F. Giles, W. II. Bagley,
R. G. Allen, William Boylan, C. K.
Durfey, B. II. Griffin, John T. West
and J. W. Weaver. Announcements
regarding prices and opening seat
sale will be made later. ? Press Agent.

Selecting the Herd Hoar. ?
K
Th?> time is approaching when the I N
hog breeder must select and mate
his breeding herd. It is of prime im
portance that the boar be selected
with care. The expression "The male
is half of the herd," is often quoted.
This by experience has been found
true. There is a uniform prepotency
in both sexes; thus, the influence of
the two parents on the offspring is
theoretically equal. However, the boar
has the greater influence on the herd.
Each pig in the herd is sired by the
one boar, but there are several di ms.
A well selected male used on a herd
of inferior sows will make a great
improvement in the offspring. How
ever, the use of an inferior boar on 5
well bred sows will have a corres- j fi
pondingly bad result. The breeder j g
should select his herd boar at an ^
early date, and get him accustomed
to his new surroundings. The system
of feeding and management is very
important in getting the male into
the best condition before mating. ? W.
