Branch Offices At | LATTIMORE, LAWNDALE And FALLSTON. Increase in One-Ttacher Schools. Decrease in Two-Teacher. Three Fourths Pupils In Large Schools i A survey or the November school [budget new being made out in the office cf the County Superintendent reveals some interesting facts con Icercerning the schools of Cleveland. A strinking dissimilarity in the types cf schools is revealetl in various sec tions of tlie county. Some communities have one teacher schools; others have ton to seventeen teachers in their schools. In many instances pupils have ac cess to only the elementary grades while '•in neighboring districts pu pils may graduate from standard High schools. Again the length of term in quite a few districts is on ly the constitutional minimum om six months while rhany operate for a period of eight' months. This striking dissimilarity is per haps best revealed by a study of the number of teachers employed in the various schools. The following table shew the distribution according to the number of teachers employed. One-teacher _ 11 Two-teacher 16 Three-teacher _ —__• 5 Pour-teacher -.----- 3 Five or more__ 10 Ten or more_ A Total 49 It is no doubt a surprise to many that there are still eleven one teacher schools in this county. In ; fact there are more one-teacher ^ schools teday than two years ago 'in spite of the fact that Within the [last two years several one-teacher schccls have been consolidated with larger schools. The explanation is that the attendance in the small two and three teacher schools is gradually falling off with the re sult that they lose one or more teachers ar.d drop into the one teacher greup. | It is also interesting to note that the fourteen larger schools have ap proximately thrpe-fourths of the pu pils in the county while the remain Ining thirty-five have only one fourth.

Saunders, editor of the Eli- • ^abeth City’independent, is iy>thinf( if not original, some people would I •say sensational. He would say na- j tural. Perhaps a little of all three would best describe Mr. Saunders. | Last week his daughter .was married ] to Sidney Smith, an engineer <rn.- ! nected with the Highway Depart- j meet. The usual notice of “a quiet ! marriage." describing the bridr's' costume and the bridegroom's Ui3- j tinrticn and the flowers and the gifts did not apjrear in father’s pa- j per. The notice dicl not even say ’ the bride w as "beautiful and accom plished" or the bridegroom “p rising and expert engineer.” In fact, it was such a wedding notice as never nr fore appeared and was as follows: • Billie is married. Early marriage < for Billie was inevitable, because j Billie was inherently a lover and home-maker. Billie loves to prepare j meals, make her own clothes, fix up the house, make a home'cheerful, colorful, inviting. And so when Pete Smith proposed marriage Sat-, urday night Billie jumped at her chance and Pete and Billie were j married Sunday without further de- ] lay and without ceremony. Just a! simple home wedding with the old; folks looking on with their heart in their throats. A bride who “loves to prepare meals, make her own clothes, fix up the house, make a home cheerful, colorful, inviting ’—la that net the type of wife told of in mod ern phrasing the same as is held up in the Scripture as the model wife in these words? (Ecclesiastes 31.) She seeketh wcol. and flax and I werketh w illingly with her hands; She rieeth while it is yet night,, and giveth meat to her household, and a portion to her maidens; She layeth her hand to the spin J die. and her hands hold the distaff; She maketh herself coverings of tapestry; her clothing is silk and j purple; s!v li okqth well io her household, ami (ateth net the bread of idle ness; One her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own .works praise her in the sates. P G. -Kcrc’;. wagering that this wedding notice was neither vised ncr approved by the women folks in the home of W. O. Saunders and •that it will take him some time to make his peace with his wife and daughter, unless they evidently do no' take him seriously and think the public will read the notice in the r.ftr.H light. I.cndcn — It has only now become known that the loneliest man in the world died cn New Year's Day. 1927. Hi:, name was Hector Pitchforth. He died cn a solitary and unknown spot on the East coast of the ice uicircled Baffin island, and was agent for a London company. The news of his death was communi cated by wireless to the Canadian government by the steamer Boethik, which was cn an Arctic expedition cn this country's behalf, Friends Few For sever, years Pitchford lived at this place only a few degreed from the North Pole. His nearest neighbors lived seme hundred miles away and the only friends he had were a few wild Eskimos and some dogs. During the whole summer of 1926 Pitchforth expected a boat which would bring him food and coal, but it never came. He was then forsaken by the natives. The only thing known about Pitchforth is that he studied at Oxford, and had acquired a special knowledge of astronomy, geology and topog raphy. S1-YEAK-0L!) SETs MARK FOR HUNTERS .MsbresviHij.—J.

The esteemed Cleveland Stn:-, of Shelby In the cotr.ty of that name which was “Cleveland" as a monu ment to the revolutionary heroism until Stephen Grcver swam mlo the high heavens, and thenceforth Com bined two honors in a revised spelling, is “positive that back in the Brushy mountain sections of Alexander, Wilkes and north Iredell the use of 'holpen' as #“portion is far from a novelty," The Daily News gave its testimony, to begin with, "holp" in verbal use, is in good and regular standing in the North Caro lina language. Mr, Clark, summon ed os a Witness of the employment oi “holpen," substantiative, answers that "it is not improbable that it is "sometimes made to do service in de scribihg a good tur nof any kint.“; but he does riot say he ever heard it. or knows anybody who ever heard it, used as a substantive at all. Our Shelby contemporary, how ever, .is "positive," which can mean only that The Star has heard a thing referred to as a “holpen," and not once, but many times, or that it - knows of persons who have heard it. This is conclusive, but so far as we know it is the only evidence ever given publicity to that effect; the Daily News’ own negative testimony, which or course establishes nothing, i is that it has never heard or seen “holpen" used as the name of a por tion of anything, nor the whole of anything, nor as the equivalent of "helping” And besides having read, first and last, a good deal in the ver nacular of the state, we have been not a Tow times in the region re ferred to and have heard just about all sorts and conditions of North Car clinlnns converse in our native ton gue from the "primitive" English of the western wall to the Cockney which has nourished on the eastern seaboard since its transplantation many generations ago.
