In Next Few Days New York, Oct. 25. Goveruor Wil son's managers who are in charge of the financial end of the campaign have planned a whirlwind finish for next week. In order to close up what seems certain now to be a deficit that will run into thousands of dollars, they have' re doubled their efforts to obtain popular contributions. Thousands of letters are going out daily from (the Chicago headquarters to probable contributors. These con munications contain requests for a mounts varying with the ability to give of the person to whom the appeal is made. No amount however small is despised by the Wilson managers The man who has only a dollar to give is as welcome and is treated with the same courtesy as the man who gives a hundred dollars. All along the men who have handled this part of the Democratic cpmpaigns have operated on the principle that the small contribution is 'just as importan in a way- as the large one. Every in dividual contribution, they say, re presents a vote Often it represents more than a single vote, becausethe contributor by making his donation naturally feels that he has become a partner in the enterprise and therefore that it is incumbent on him to get out and hustle for the party.

L OVER TILL AFTER FAIR WEEK Conclusion Not Reached By .Ex cutive Committee Without Careful Consideration. MAKE UP LOST TIME IN JUNE Graded School Management Plans For an Elaborate Display at the Fair, It has been decided best by the Ex ecutive committee, to close school the entire week of Fair Week and, in con sequence of this decision, .school will not be opened again until Monday Nov. 4th. This decision was not reached until after very thoughtful consideration of the matter, when it was decided that schooLwould be closed the entire week and that the week lost on account of the Fair must be made up the first week in June. This will cause the school term to close on June 6th instead of May 30th Five booths have been assigned for the educational exhibit at the Fair, and an exhibit of the work done by every gade in school will be shown. The booths for the Educational exhibit are to be well decorated and every effort is being made to make the exhibit as interesting as possible. The primary Department will have one booth; the Grammar School one; the High School one; the Domestic Science Department one; and the Manual Training 'Depart ment one. Specimens of the writing and drawing showing the progress, from the first through the sixth grades, will be shown. The first month of school closed yes terday and reports will be sent the par ents on the work, attendance, deport ment, etc., on Nov. 4th. The enroll ment this year at the close of the first Lmonth was 817 as compared with 788 last year. 1 he average attendance was 745.80 per day as compared with 725.84 last year New pupils are cora- ng in to the Music Department almost every day. The work in the Harmony and Theory Classes is quite interesting A course in sight reading and ear train ing has begun in the Theory class and it will be of great benefit to each pupil. Great interest is being taken in the Musical History class. The 3C Grade has been having pleas ant reading on Fridays. Each child brings his story book. The atheltic contests of the school this year will -be governed by a new set of rules. The agreement among the schools of Eastern Carolina, that ho one can take part in any contest who is not taking the full course and making satisfactory progress in the work, will be continued. In addition to this, a local regulatio n requires that a player must make passing grades on the work and good on deportment with a pro vision that one "Poor" will not debar a player. These regulations are made with-the view that a person whose work and conduct at school is not satisfactory, is not a fit person to represent the school in any. athletic contest.
