in reading in the grammar
grades a Reading Circle has been
organized with awards to be as
follows:
1. When a pupil has read and
reported on six books, he or she
is awarded a Membership Cer
tificate. For the next six books
read the pupil is given a blue
seal to go on this certificate, for
the next six a red seal, and
for the next six a gold seal. 24
books read complete the first
course.
2. For those who have com
pleted the first course a second
course is offered. The rules are
the same except that twelve
books are required for the At
tainment Certificate and twelve
for each of the three seals
3. Diploma. A Reading Cir
cle Diploma is given to each pupil
upon completion of the reading
circle work outlined above.
It is not expected that pupils
will finish both courses In one
year. Therefore, a record is
kept so that the reading credit
will be carried over from one
year to the next.

Fire Prevention Week.
Last week a proclamation was
issued by Gov. A. W. McLean
setting aside that week for es'
pecial effort toward fire preven>
tion. North Carolina ranks
high among the states in low loss
from fires. North Carolina’s
per capita average was |1 91 loss
from fire during the past year
while the nation as a whole was
$4 94 North Carolina’s record
is good but an enlightened popu
lation such as ours can make it
better. The school is doing its
part toward fire prevention and
lessening loss of lives.
There are fire drills in the
school and the students are di
rected as to discipline and as to
marching order. If everyone
did his or her part in preventing
fires there would be a much
smaller number of disastrous
fires although some are unavoid
able.
High School Stunt Night.
Coming in tbe near future is
an event which we would all like
to see an enjoy. Stunt night
will be put on by the high school
rooms and by tbe upper grades.
Parents will want to see tbe chil
dren as comedians. Be sure to
watch for the annoucement
which will mean barrels of fun
for you.
