This is a long stride in the direc tion of ideal municipal condi tions. In the light of mortem progress I have ofttlmes won dered why otherwise beauti fully shaded streets should be conspicuously marred by a net work of unsightly wires and poles to support them. Some time since I was in a town of about this size, in the state of Missouri, where the wires had been placed underground. The contrast was striking and greatly added to the attrac tiveness of the town. In this particular town civic pride was especially noticeable, as I have no doubt it would he here. W. L. COHOON Prospects Indicate Successful Session Enrollment During Opening Week Xewland High School Indicates Idist Year's Record Surpa-ssed successful session. The new teachers, and particularly Principal H. L. Boyd and Mrs. Boyd, his wife, who is also a member of the faculty, have made most favor able impression on both the pupils in the school and the community at large. j The enrollment for the first week i was 193, as compared with an en-1 rollment for the year of 215 last year. This is regarded by Superin tendent M: P. Jennings as a remark ably good showing, especially in view of the fact that transportation by truck was not inaugurated this week, by reason of the fact that the trucks were not yet in shape for service. Explanation of the delay in get ting the trucks in commission this) year involves an Interesting story, j The Newland school committee' and the County Board of Education decided this year that a levy of 30 cents would be necessary if these trucks were to be operated, and as a thirty cent levy had been voted by the people of the district a levy of 30 cents was asked for. The County Commissioners, how ever, disregarded this request and made the levy 20 eents. A petition was accordingly circulated and sign ed by an overwhelming majority of the tax payers asking the Commis sioners to reconsider their action and name a levy of 30 cents as stip ulated by the Board of Education. But still the Commissioners remain ed obdurate. Not, in fact, until Superintendent Jennings produced before them a signed opinion of At torney General Manning to the ef fect that when a district had voted a tax and the Board of Education asked for a levy as voted, the Com missioners had no choice but to comply with the Board's request, did the Commissioners yield their point and authorize the levy. Hence the delay In getting the trucks this year into commission. Newland High School is not only the first school In Pasquotank County to introduce, transportation of pupils by motor truck. It also has the distinction of having built and furnished the first teacherage In the County and one oi oh i the first in the section. Principal (By-TheiH. L. Boyd and Mrs. Bovd found their home ready for them upon their arrival In the Newland com munity, after having crossed North Carolina and Tennessee. They came here from Buena Vista, Tennessee. The formal opening of Newland High School was held last Monday. Among those on the program were: Rev. H.

New high school students. however, i should report at 9 o'clock. i Pupils promoted to the seventh grade should report at 10:110 o'clock, while those promoted to the fourth grade should report at 9:30. New pupils in grades four to seven should report at 9:30 o'clock New pupils desiring to enter any of the primary grades are supposed to have reported at the primary building last Thursday or Friday. Those in the primary school should report at the primary building a.t 9 o'clock. With work on the new school building but just begun and with no new class rooms available, the crowded conditions that have pre vailed for the last three or four years may be expected to be accentuated this year. This means that once again the tirst five grades will be compelled to follow the relay plan tirst adopted two years ago. This means that in the fifth grade and grades below it nart of the pupils will he in school from 8:45 in the morning to 12:45 in the afternoon; while the other part will begin work at one o'clock in the afternoon and remain In school until 4: SO.

Stu dents who expect to enter college are advised to take the college prepara tory course. The indicated enrollment for the opening day this year Is about 1500. The faculty n urn be eg 45 teachers.
