SCHOOL NOTES
By the PapOs ef the Higher
Sectioa of the NinU Grade
Monroe High School
W hy M. H. 8. Needs Library
Our high school has previously
had three obstacle that has kept it
from being on the list of accredited
high schools in North Carolina. First
we had to have a separate building
from the grammar school; secondly,
a proper science course, and" thirdly,
a library We are new no longer
dependent on the grammar school or
the old county home for a high school
and next year we will have a science
course that the state requires. Do
tht people of Monroe realize that the
only thin? that keeps our high school
from being on the A-1 list is the
lack of a library?
The state requires a library of
five hundred books. Among these is
a set of referenc books that cost
one hundred and twenty dollars. As
we already have the International
Encyclopedia and the Book of Knowl
edge, both sets costing more than the
one required, we won't have to have
these, so we have a good start. The
rest of the-books cost from five dol
lars down to fifty cents. Some one
might want to know what ?ood the
library would do if we had it. It
would help the pupils in getting
up their lesson assignments and in
the school debates.
The Parent-Teacher association
has helped us to get a start by giv
ing us the books we already have.
It Intends to help us still more by
having a book shower When it does,
we want the people of Monroe to
give any books (not trashy novels)
that they have already read and no
longer want, towards making a start
for a high school library. Celeste
Armfleld.
Our Campus
We think our new high school Is
a beauty, as convenient and com
fortable as any city even larger than
Monroe could wish. It is well lighted
and beautiful. I cannot help wonder
ing how long those nice new floors
will stay pretty and clean when the
space between the high school and
street Is almost ankle deep In red
mud? Surely our good city fathers
see the great need and before very
long will have a good cement walk
leading to the building.
We would like to hare our boys
feel about our high school as the
Athenian boys did about Athens. To
have such reverence for It that we
not only would not deface it our.
selves, but would not allow others to,
so that we may be able to pass it on
to the young people who come after
us as clean and beautiful as it was
given to us. Ed Roo Houston. .
The Gift of the Senior Class Com.
nicmlable One
We are fortunate this year In hav.
ing a graduating class that is going
to leave u something that will
amount to even more than an annual
would. This Is a beautiful purple ve
lour curtain with gold lettering,"M.
H . S. '22," that is to adorn the new
high school auditorium. This will not
only help tho looks of the building
but II will help the school keep out
of debt. I am sure the whole school
appreciates very much the kindness
of our seniors this year. Chattle

The pupils of the ninth grade, to.

Five Children Sick From Milk
(From Goldsboro News.)
Five children of an Illinois family
are suffering from tuberculosis as a
result of drinking milk that came from
a tubercular cow, according to statis
tics furnished Dr. W. C. Dendinger, of
the United State department of agri
culture, bureau of animal industry, by
the department.
Dr. Dendinger arrived in the city
yesterday to confer with officials of
the chamber of commerce, Rotary and
Kiwanis clubs and other organizations
in an effort to, gain their support in
a movement to begin a campaign in
Wayne county for the eradication of
tuberculosis among the cattle of the
county, ,
Dr. Dendinger will appear before
the board of county commissioners
Monduy and inform its members that
the bureau of animal industry stands
ready to ray its share of the expense
of a veterinarian to conduct the work
in Wayne county provided the county
Will stand one-half of the cost for the
actual time given to the campaign by
the veterinarian. In r.ddition to this,
the bureau will also send one of its
own specialists here to assist in tha
work, Dr. Dendinger stated.
With reference to the benefits to
be derived from such a campaign Pr.
Dendinger states that from an eco
nomical standpoint a splendid saving
will be realized but he point3 with
greater enthusiasm to the utimate im
provement in public health conditions.
He says that the drinking of milk
from a tubercular cow in an Illinois
farm caused five children to be strick
en with the disease but that two
children in the sane family which
did not drink milk were found to be
free of the disease. The bureau rep
resentative has recently inaugurated
the work in eight counties in the
state and he feels sure that Wayne
will join in the movement.
The Curfew I
(From Orphan's Friend.)
Whlla It lik nnvpr Indlelous to get
the Idea Into the heads of young peo
ple that tacy are posaioie maierac
tors and restrain them so thut they
cannot do wrong, it Is of the utmost
importance to keep young boys and
girls from exercising too much free-1
dom. It is up to the parents to keep
them homo as much as possible
when there Is no reason why they
should be abroad, and at the same
time not arouse their resentment or
not their minds to thinking too much
about wrong-doing. And when par
ents are so remiss In duty as to allow
their children to ramble about, es.
nof-lallv at nloht. the civil authori
ties should Intervene and put an end
to It. In this connection we quote a
paragraph from me Kutnerrora sun:
"T qkI Saturday nleht. the night
policeman arrested four boys about
12 years of age for violating tne cur.
few law. He also cought five young
men ramhllnff. This makes a total of
ten young men caught gambling here
within one week, sucn as mis musi
stop. It Is up to the good folks of
he town to back up the -officers."
The last sentence Is a very perti
nent one because the "good people"
do not always stand up to officers.

ARE WOMEN LESS MODEST
THAN THE AVERAGE MAN?
A Philosopher Says They Are, But
Editor Johnson Is Not So Cer
tain About the Issue
(From Charity and Children)
In a small group of men one day
not long ago, a philosopher made
this startling remark: "We have
heard all our lives about the modesty
of women, but I am here to tell you
after long and careful observation
that men are inherently more modest
than women." We were rudely
shocked by this remark and are not
yet prepared to endorse It, but the
(act that the remark was made at
all and hot resented or disputed by
anybody In the group, set us to think.

streets as meagrely, clothed as some
women do, and that is a fact that
cannot be denied. Tho goddess of

any man would resent the command
to roll ils pants above his knees and

great host of women who would
scorn to follow the styles to their
utmost length, and who do refuse
obedience to the demands of the

who fling their womanly modesty to
the winds and go the limit in the
ultra styles of women's wear. A deep

dance is rising, we are glad, to say,
and we hope It will continue to rlso
until it will overwhelm the immodest
and disgusting attitude of dancers of
the present day. But this Is doubt
ful. So many women are careless of
the consequences, and willing to sub
ject themselves to unfavorable and
perhaps untruthful criticism that it
will take a tremendous public sen
timent to overcome it. Churches
seem to be powerless to grapple with
the situation Congregations that are
rising Into Boclal prominence espec
ially are afraid to tackle the dancing
mania lest their social standard be
lowered. Many of our prominent Bap
tist churches that stood four square
against the much more respectable
dances of two or three decades ago,
allow their young people now to par
ticipate in the modern dance with
out a word of protest. Those modern
girls who refuse to be swept off their
feet, are of the salt of the earth, and
are the hope of the future.
