Effs juid JPurs*. Williamston, N. C. The Martin County Sumimr Normal. The teachers of Martin County are indeed fortunate in having an opportunity of attending a Sum mer Normal at home this Summer. Nothing bnt the heat exceeds the zeal they are manifesting in the work. They are here almost in full force; and it may be said there is not a greater force in the whole county than this faithful band who gladly gives their thne and money to equip themselves for the res ponsible duties resting upon them. There is not another like num ber in any other profession who could be so interested that they would forget, as it were, the heat ed situation, and loose themselves in the pursuit of knowledge. Supt. Peel, with his charac teristic energy and thought, is do ing all in his powek to make the Martin Couuty teachers the equal of auy to he found in any couuty in the State. He is requiring higher standards of scholarship. At the same time he endeavors to help his teachers attain to this standard by working together with them throughout the year in the Teachers Association and dur ing the Summer, in a Normal. The higher standard of qualifica tion brings to itself better salaries. This in itself will more than com pensate for all the sacrifice requir ed to be made in the development. The county is this year in the selection ot instructors • for the Summer School. Prof. S. T. Liles brings to his subjects, Arithmetic and Physiol ogy, sound scholarship, wide ex perience, and unbounded enthu siasm. He is very practical, rea sonable, and interesting Under his guidance the teachers are seeing uew meaning in the fundamentals of arithmetic and algebra. Physi ology resurrects beautiful, living form*" from the dry bones of the unsightly skeletou under his tnagic tou :h. Prof. A. J. Manning is overflow ing with historic lore. The heroes, statesmen and sages of our land are his companions, and tkeir noble deeds are so emblazoned upon his shield of faith that they shine out to all who pass his way. Many a boy and girl in the rural schools will rise up and call him blessed, tor the new life that will be instilled into the ordi narily dead subjects of history and civil government. Prof. J. D. Everett, the real em bodiment of enthusiasm and prog ress, presents his subjects, english and geography, with such precis ion of thought and word that every teacher is inspired to higher aud nobler action in the future. Through his pedagogical teaching the teachers are constrained to give more thought to their work, to in crease their knowledge of literature to read daily that they may com mune with the distant and the dead, and pour their most precious thoughts into their souls and lives. His teaching will live in the hearts of these teachers, and will be re flected into the lives of the child ren of the county. No better evidence of the county's progress can be produced than the new thought, the increased energy, and the onward march of the teaching profession, all of which are so indeliMy stamped on every phase of the Summer School work. Some of the best citizens of the town and community are lending their presence to encourage the good Work, apd they in tnrn feel something of the enthusiasm that permeates all the work. Every citizen ought to have an abiding interest in this work, which is to reach every home in the county, and in these teachers who are to take the place of parent, in part, in shaf-inff the life and mould ing the character of this genera tion. There is a vital connection between the home and the school, and no intelligent individual can afford to be indifferent to this work. Manifest your interest by a kind look, encouraging word, or better, by yonr presence at the meetings of the teachers. The degree of intelligence of a community is reflected in the school teacher of that community. Patrons of the schools in the whole county should be interested in this work. The teachers ought to be a guardian angel for your child, but yonr attidude will very largely determine the power of the teacher over the child.

Under the operation of the new Pure Food Laws, baking powders now generally bear on the labels a statement of the ingredients. This is of utmost importance because of the harmful ingredients used in many cases. Royal Baking Powder is knowu to he the only baking powder made of Royal Orape Cream of Tarter, and this no doubt explains its greatly increased sale here. Careful housekeepers are taking advantage of the protection which the Laws afford, and are examin ing all the reading matter on the back of the label before adopting any brand for nse in the home. When in place of the words Cream of Tartar the word "alum" "aluininuni" or "phosphate or lime" appacrs among the ingredi ents, they heed the warning and avoid bakiug powders containing these substitutes.
