The libraries are full of books, pamphlets, speeches, legal records of prosecutions and statistics all the way back to 1827.

W. D. Cox. who welcomed the teach ers and visitors. Mrs. J. G. Fearing of Elizabeth City was the first speaker on the program, her subject being the im portance of teaching Safety First in the schools. She told of the terrible loss of life and property in the State last year, declaring that the fire loss in 1922 would have paid the salaries of every teacher in the State, white and colored, for over five months. Three fourths of these fires could have been prevented by ordinary care. The habit of carelessness, she said, is America's greatest evil, and the formation of good habits in early life is most important.

The prizes are $10 and $5 and the papers are to be In the hands 6f the committee by the second week of March. Dr. J. H. Highsmith of the Stat" Department of Education, then ad dressed the teachers on the subject of higher education. His explana tion of how to secure units for school work was very helpful. There are now 207 standard high schools in the State, a great increase in the last few years. North Carolina boys and girls now have access to 250,000 vol umes in school libraries. Better schools he declared, are largely due to consolidation, the use of school trucks, and so on. The Moyock Parent-Teachers' As sociation served a delicious lunch, and after this. Dr. Highsmith held a conference with the teachers, dis cussing their problems in a very helpful manner. In the afternoon Mrs. Fearing ad dressed the women of Moyock and organized a Woman's Club.
