F r four Ions y^ars t !i is common- j
ity ias been dreaming about and;
looting i>H|:erly forward to the mm
pl?-t:oh of this wliool. Now that I
Ions cherished dreams ha vol
?ci :.?? true, it Is hoped and bcllfVfd
that a beginning has been made to
war-1 a ;r?*at work here. The ideal
s* t before the school by U. F. Coates. i
principal. is continual growth and I
A^anslon. not only In enrollment,
lint also in the excellence of work
.. <*o:u and in the course of study of
fered.
T e Week svl lie Hi.uh School is sit -
uatt .1 as nearly as possible in the
e? nt? r of Nixontoif and Salem town
shir- on the brick rond leading from
Hlizjbeth City to Weeksvllle. It is
about 1" miles from Elizabeth City.
T:. school has eight large motor
bti?. ft\?. Internationals and three
F- i !s. to take the children to and
tt ? school. The pupils like this
nine i better than the old way of
having to walk two or three mile*,
or ayhe more, through rain, snow,
and inud to some squatty little di
lapidated one or two room school
l:ou-. in some isolated part of the
c<? 5 uuiiity. In t hose days the pu
pil- almost always arrived late and
win they did arrive were too cold
to study during bitter cold weather..
N ?w this is all chn#feed. The
trucks take the pupils to school on
tiv very, very seldom being too
lit. tor the second bell, arid the pu
pil4 get home anywhere from half
past 3 to 5 o'clock, depending, of
cout. -e. upon the distance they live
fron school. Pupils who once did
not like to go to school now look i
forward to it with pleasure. They '
en.i ; the ride to and from the I
"Clioolheuse. if nothing more. The'
Wt * isville High School is housed in
a large, spacious building of brick
and concrete, the broad concrete
together with the porches, also
?'f concrete, and the massive brick
columns that support the roof of the
potc'.ies, combining to make "a beau
tiful and imposing entrance.
T e building Is equipped with all
taOvl' rn conveniences. Including run
ui::. water. Delco lights, steam heat,
a id sewerage. The ventilation is
?pkndid. and there is an abundance
of II. lit.
T e building has 12 class rooms,
a science laboratory, domestic sci
ence and art rooms, a music room,
two dressing rooms and a large audi
torium with a seating capacity of
700. This auditorium, it is hoped,
will lie a happy gathering place for
the community, for plans are being
made for the presentation of a num
ber of local talent plays and cnter
taimnents soon, with the idea of
making the school the social center
?of Its community. Not only, how
?v* i . are parents and visitors wel
conu ? at these- entertainments. but ;
fath? rs. mothers, big sisters and
brothers. as well as friends, are in
vited to visit the school from day to
dav. (luring the class* room work.
Just a few weeks ago a Parent-'
SPeaohers' Assoc I m Itvrr "Was organ Tied .
?with an enrollment of 55. The large
nil " I- enrolled at tin oi ganUal U'.j
J was' ' "u ratify in to those wfeo^had
sponsored the movement, but It Is
hop* d that eventually every patron
of the school will be enrolled In tills
-organization. Fp to the present
uothing has been done to beautlfy
the campus, but plans are on foot to
transform it into a bower of loveli
ness that will make a fitting setting
for the building. This work of beau
tifying the campus Is already on the
program of the Parent-Teachers' As
social ion.
"? Vthletic associations also have al
read> been organized, and the boys
are now playing baseball and foot
ball. while both boys and girls are
playing basketball. A team will be
selected from each grade in the high
school, and from the seventh grade;
and from these trains will be select
ed tin all star team to be put In the
field against othei schools. Ily
spring It I" hoped .that a schedule of
gam. s with other high schools in

tenuis court is to be laid out later
ami tennis and then volley ball can
be indulged in.

GERMANS LOST

Stuttgart. Jan. '29. ? Germany's
piano industry has been thrown all
out of harmony by the upset condi

output is only about half of what it
used to be. chiefly it Is claimed, bp
cause of a luck of conscientious work
men. There are plenty of craft amen
to l?e had. it seems, but since the
war there has been a dearth of good
piano maker? who think more of
their work than the financial re
wards. To make perfect pianos. it

the workmen must -be conscientious
and ahsoljitel) in love with their

(Tyh'eut rut Jon" is also ah essential.
it is explained, and but few of the
piano makers who went to the front
roving, miss and hit existence, have
ever been quite the sume since they
came hack.
About half of the German made
piano* are exported, these going
chiefly to Holland, FTngland. Japan.
Chile and other South American
countries. Comparatively few are
sent to the Pnited States owing to a
high pr< tective tariff. The principal
buyets of pianos In Germany, wince
the paper mark started its downward
.course, have been Ihe peasants who
looks this means of obtaining a
long desired permanent household
ornament with some of the currency
which was sc / rapidly losing its
value.
Various individual < have taken
a "flver" In pianos at times when
they had a hit or paper marks oti
hand with the Idea of realizing at
some future date when, they hope,
they might be able to dispose of ttoV*
instruments upon a gold basis.
