Passing Of The Log School-House. (From Winston-Salem Journal.) 1'ifty-thrce log school houses are still left in North Carolina. Thus is told jjn its briefest form the true story of progress in public education in this state. There are men and wom en now living who remember when most of the school houses in rural districts were budt of logs and some of them had cracks between big enough to throw the proverbial cat. We suppose there is not a school house in North Carolina today that does not have desks for pupils. Eat the time was, within the memory of many now living, when no rural school house had desks. The seats were made of slabs witli four pegs as supports. How many men in Winston-Salem have swung their feet from such im provised benches? Dr. Ellis Receives Sack Of Flour Free Dr. R. C.

Horace Kennedy, Atty. MacMillan Expedition Has Abandoned Plans j The MacMillan Arctic Expedition bus abandoned hope of carrying out its- full exploration program over the polar sea this year. Curtailment of the expeditions ac tivities was forced to adverse wen ther which has locked the norUiland in ice and fog well ahead of usual j winter season. The society’s announcement said ! “Unexpected summer snowstorms, ( continuous fogs and unpreci dent, d j weather conditions which prevent fly. ! ing, resulted in the announcement by the Nutional Geographic society that the MacMillan expedition would pro ceed immediately from Utah to ac complish other objectives of the e\- j pedition. The decision was made fol- | lowing radio message from MacMil- j Ian stating that he and the expedition j members t.ow agreed that establish ment of an advance station on Cape i, liubb.ud and exploring the polar sea from that point is not feasible this 1 year in time left for the ’Bowdom and ! the Peary’ would have to leave Utah ahead of the ice barrier. “Commander MacMillan has hoed advised by the National Geographic society to follow his judgment in '.he matter and to proceed to the other explorations the expedition planned as; soon as he deems it wise, leaving the polar sea work for a subsequent effort." MacMillan and his explorers will proceed, however, to carry out ocher ' objects of the expedition including scientific investigations from Etah, Greenland. The Chang's* in plans were announced bv the National Genera- I phicnl society after it had been advis ed by MacMillan that the project of establishing an advance base on Cape Hubbard and flying from there over the fcozen Northern sea was not fea sible because of this years' unusual weather conditions. The explorer advised society offi cials that in view of all the ciirum stanefes to go ahead with the plans would be unwise. Kings Min. Items Of Brief Interest Kings Mountain Herald.
