Will lUftlaw Burned Building With
Sit* Deeded to the City; Action
Neeeeeary for High School
A new building to accommodate the
Megro high school pupils of the city
and county is to be erected on the
•it* of the structure at Henderson In
stitute which wa* burned last spring,
and the coat will be approximately
$17,000 The board of trustees of the
etty schools has approved the project,
and plans have already been drawn
for the work.
The building will be financed by the
donation to the city of SB,OOO the In
stitute received as insurance on the
burned structure, and the American
Board of Missions of the' United
Presbyterian Church, which has op
erated this school as a mission enter
prise for a third of a century, is to
deed to the city the land that will be
necessary, together with the right to
an outlet to streets. The entire plant
Is not to be conveyed.
The American Board of Missions is
represented as being unable at this
time to replace the structure. For
some years the Negro high school
pupils of the city and county have
ben given their Instruction at the
Institute, and in return the city and
county have contributed slight
amounts for maintenance, including
payment of two or three members of
the faculty. The children have been
♦ rahsported In trucks bought by the
Institute. r
Sta*e law requires that high school
facilities shall be provided to the ap- j
ipmuroately 245 Negro high school •
children in the city and county, and
there are no facilities anywhere in
the city or county to house and in
srtruc* them In the fact of this pre
dicament. and in view of the willing
ness of the church board to donate the
land and all the insurance money it
received, the city school board thought
this was the best arrangement that
could be made.
A grant of SIO,OOO has been made
to the county by the State Budget
Commission, in view of the urgency of
the situation resulting from the fire.
That money is to be paid back, it is
understood, at the rate of SI,OOO a
year for ten years.
Eric G. Flannagan. local architect,
has drawn plans for the new build
ing which is to be a one-6tory struc
ture. and bids are expected to be
called for soon, so that work can be
started and the building be made
ready for use this fall.
WEDNESOAHRAIN
BIG AIDTO CROPS
Appears To Have Been Fair
ly General And Is First
In Weeks
Nearly «" crops have been greatly
helped along by the generous rains
that fell Wednesday afternoon, the
first in three weeks in this section.
The drought was at least temporarily
broken, and the almost one inch of
rain that came provided a consider
able amount of moisture for a ground
that had been parching in the hottest
weather of the summer, with several
days showing temperature maximum*,
well above the 100 degree mark.
Tobacco will benefit from the rain,
but not perhap; to the extent it would
have had it come a week or two ago
The late tobacco will possibly show
the most improvement aa the result
of the rain.
W'hile this downpour was merely a
thundershower, it appears to have
been quite general in a large area of
this part of the State, and the offi
cial Weather Bureau report showed a
precipitation of .90 of an inch, the
moet in probably a month in this sec
tion.
Tobacco has suffered considerably
as the result of the long dry season,
and will get sharp relief from this
rain, though more is needed to make
up a sufficiency, and it is hoped that
there will be additional rains before
the end of the week.
Gardens have been helped, and cot
ton and corn have benefitted from the
rain that has fallen.

Asks Old School
Books Sav ed For
Poorer Children
Dally Dlupntrt llarena,
la the Sir Walter lintel ,
Raleigh. July 28—Wun money be
coming increasingly scarce atWong all
classes of people. It Is more necessary
than ever that every penny be con
served this year, according to Mrs. W.
T. Bost. commissioner of public wel
fare. who suggests that one way to
save money this year is to save all old
school textbooks so that children
whoa* parents will not be able to buy
new books this year may use them. I
“One of the biggest problems the
narnt-teacher associations have to deaJ
with is providing books for children
unable to buy them, as well as pro
viding food and clothing for these
school children " Mrs. Bost said. “This
past year was bad enough, but indi
cations are that conditions will be
just as acute this coming winter, if
not more so.
"The State provides the schools, the
“teachers, the fuel to heat the build
ings. but not the books and materials
The big school buildings and the mil
lions of dollars spent for teachers'
salaries are wasted if the school chil
dren do not have the necessary books,
Thousands of children last year were
not able to buy the necessary school
books and hence lost much of the
value of the time spent in school.
“The people of the State who have
children in school and who have been
able to buy textbooks can be of great
help this year if they will turn over
all the old book? not now needed by
their own children to the parent
teacher associations for distribution
among thoee who are not able to buy
books.
When asked if she thought the
State should change any of its text
books at this time and adopt a new
senes, Mrs. Boat said emphatically
that she did not think the present
time a good one for any new book
adoption, since rt would make it im
possible for hundreds of thousands of
children to use books which otherwise
can be used for several years yet.

far thla summer in Henderson and

this year, other than one from War
ren that was brought to Jubilee hos
pital for treatment after having de
