From Time ourues the follow ing item ol educational news: • At North Carolina State Col lege of Agriculture and Engineer ing. Prof. William Hand Browne examined his class in electrical engineering. Chagrined and rieved was he io discover, when he had graded all t he vpapers hat the average mark of the hiss was Vi] > per cent.."' There arc one or two lv.u.f1 able facts about this. Prob-. or, he most astonishing is how the Tar Heels ever allowed ilvs L-nd of news to Irak out. The North Carolina colleges have for the nost r*art such clever publicity men 'hat the rest of the world has been on the verge of belt :v ; .nr that in the Old North smw all young men arc a rare combi nation of angels, students and •upi rb athletes. But from another standpoint his is, if not surprising, at least a little disconcerting. For pub 11 icily agents or not, young men in -North Carolina are pretty much | lhe same as young men in other;; sections of this land, and it is discouraging to see that a group! athered together for the ex-; press purpose of preparing them selves for their profession, being i .rained at heavy expense to the I and often at the cost of Meal sacrifice to their parents, a re yet letting slip their oppor tunities in such an appalling vav What son of electrical en gineers. one wonders, do the young men think will be the re sult of learning 12 */2 per cent of f : d wo men still hold to the idea that they go to class to sec how much they can outsmart the professor and hew little real knowledge they can get by with, there will continue to be enormous waste of time, money and effort to ram learnings down the throats of lazy or unwilling subjects who had much better be out in the world earning their own keep or finding out that thev cannot do so bv. doing 121 per cent of the job allotted to them.-Columbia w C.I State. In Memory Grandma. 1: is with a sad heart that I attempt to write the death of rrandma. Grandma had been in iailing health for the last two months, but was able to do her house work most of the time. On the 16th of January she awoke about ten o’clock with a pain ii her chest, and died about eleven thirty. Grandma was conscious ’thiil the last minute. She told her husband just before she died , r him and the children not to rrieve for her; for she had done' ler suffering on earth. Grandma was 80 years old last July. In 1831 she was married - ;o J. R. Thompson. To this union' vere born four children. There | ire yet living. Grandma unit- j d with the Primitive Baptist1 ihurch long years ago. She was1 i true and faithful member. The funeral was conducted at! ihe lioms by her pastor, Rev. E. Pearce, after which she was laid to rest in the Thompson burying ground. The floral of ferings were many and beautiful The flower girls were grand daughters. Sh.f leaves besides relatives and friends, a husband. J. R. Thomp-; »ii one sister. Mrs. Edith' Thompson, three children. Mrs. R E. Daughtry, Mrs. W. H. Woodard and G. R. Thompson, and two step-sons, London and E. P Thompson. We will all miss grandma mor-"1 than words can tell, but we feel that, she is at rest with her God Death has called from us one we love. And wc are sad and lonely; But death cannot come between us above. For there will be joys only. A Granddaughter, IT.A DAUGHTRY MASSENGILL. WILSONS MILLS.

When you baste, don’t knot the. end of your thread. Start by mak ing two stitches in the same place. This will hold the end of the thread, but when you wish to pull out the basting, there will be no knot to mar the clotlf^ smoothness. When you hem a skirt, take a double stitch every inch or less. Ihis will make such a firm hem that if you rip a few stitches the rip will not extend more than an inch. When you make buttonholes first mark them with a pencil Then run a line of machine stitching all around the pencil mark. Then cut it and button hole it. The machine stitching helps to make a firmer button hole. When you wish to hem table linen, first run it through the sewing machine hemmer without any thread in the needle. You will then have a neat, even hem turned, ready for sewing. Research Work. “It must, be stimulating to go through the Hall of Fame." “In a way. yes.
