Tin FABMVTLIjB, PITT TO THE PATRONS OF THE pirr COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS. Pradically all the schools of J the county are now in session and I venture to call your at tention to a tew ways in which 1 you may help your school do its best for your children. 1. See'that your children are supplied as soon as requested bv the teacher, with ail the neces sary books and materials for work. It is unfair to the chil-j dren to do this. A few of the books on the State list, particu larly the readeis and the spellers, have been changed.- It is un lawful to use the old books, and the teachers have all been in fracted not to use them. The I old books may be turned in at the store in part payment for the new cro. You will be -agree ably surprised to kuow while prices of almost everything else you buy have increased, the prices of the public school books are in mosl cases the same, and you may be interested to know that the people of this county spend more each year for chew ing gum than for school books. 2. See that your child starts to school as soon as possible and attends regularly. Irregular at tendance is the bane of our coun try schools. We cannot expedt a child to make any progress when he is in and out as so many cfeSdren are. Of course some absences are absolutely unaviod able, but a great many do not come under this head. You owe WW. iPfi ? _ its is particular true to the be ginners. Unless a child caoi Start with the class and attend regulary, he is under a fearful handicap. The foundations are laid in the fir& two or three jveeks of school, and a child coming in later hasn't much to build on. - 3. The last General Assembly raised the age limit for com pulsory attendance law to four teen years. This means that eve^r child in the county from eight to fourteen -years of age must be in school for four months from the first Monday in December. The only valid ex cuses are being more than two and-a-half miles by the nearest traveled route, physical or men tal disability, poverty making the child's labor necessary for the support of himself or his family, being unable on account of poverty to buy the necessary books or clothing, occasional absence due to extreme bad weather or sickness or other necessary and ungvoidable ab sence. The cooperation of the public in enforcing this law is invited. It is the law, and the State of North Carolina is be hind Hf It musrbe enforced. The fggAgrs are required to re #0*4 thea late sqo 4. Bear in mind that the] well | |he fej iM:. I meat, rather than harsh criticism would you? 5. The price of everything has risen except teachers' sal* rles and, as stated above, text book?. When inclined to in crease the price of the teachers' ooard, bear in mind th^re is nc more money to pay her -Witt than there was last year. Hi?t; prices of cotton and tobacco af fect the tax valuations very little if any. The country's school income is increased only slight ly and the salaries paid teachers are unfortunately abont what they were last year and the year before. Increasing the cost ot board is equivalent to reducing teacher's salary. The commu nity that provides board at the most reasonable price can al i ways, everything, being equal, secure the best teacher. 6. It is a fact, humiliating as if mav be to confess it, that in many !?~Liv,c'3 in th^ county chidren and teachers are uncom fortable because of the lack of proper fuel. This is unfair and dangerous. I call upon the com mitteemen and parents to see th.it a proper supply of fuel is made available and teachers and pupils permitted to do their work in comfort Respectfully, S. B. Underwood, Supt., Pitt County Schools. . ONE PHYHGAN, FOUR . HOTEL PROPRIE TORS INDICTED.
