officers in Pitt county on salary.
In the county convention of
a resolution was
adopted that the com-
of the principal of
of the county be changed
from fees to salaries, and the
question has been more or less
agitated since that time. As
the bill will not go into effect

officer expires, no one will
have any grounds for complaint.

marvelous. Its real excellence
as a newspaper, and its constant
standing by honest conviction,
be the consequences what they
may, has forced success upon it.
The Observer is an expensively
conducted paper, its weekly
budget running into the thous-
ands of dollars, for it never
stops at cost in considering the
interest of its patrons. There is
not a better paper published be-
tween Washington and Atlanta,
and no other in North Carolina
brings the State so much credit.
It is an ideal newspaper.

of the bride and groom in Eastern

The bride was handsomely
attired in a beautiful traveling

and carried a lovely bouquet of
bridal roses.
The maid of honor, Miss Ethel

dressed in a suit of white

carried a bouquet of carnations.

Io 1902 at the State Normal at
under the super-
of education's best friend,
association
which has proved one
the most practical agencies in
minting progress and advance-
in every line of school work
the State has ever known.
This association was given the
me of the Woman's Better-
Association, and it has in-
shown itself to be most
named, for it has truly
n a boon to the schools of
Carolina. The rural
have reaped the lion's
of the benefit, for it is
that improvements are
needed-though the town
city schools have certainly
its far reaching influence.
I Aside from the material aid
he association has rendered-in
act through this material aid
have received social
that can never
fee estimated. In order to
and understand this
vice we have to know something
the conditions both
the school rooms and
communities.
We realize that all classes and
are found in the aver-
school. These children to a
extent reflect their
Imagine then the joy
with which majority of them
from homes would
come a neat, cherry, attractive
and comfortable room, and in
many instances revel in the
books that even the average
school now affords.
It is true the most impression-
able period of a life is
spent in the school room, it is
then tUt his character is being
made, his ideals created and life
long habits formed. His
at is critical time
should be everything that tends
to stimulate, uplift, and
refine.
It is also unquestionably true
that the silent influences of en-
and example are the
most powerful and lasting
tors in character building. If
this be the case the Betterment
has opened an
I avenue for the development of
youth of the State and
should be heartily supported by
every teacher and yea,
every citizen of the State-
We have seen how the moral
tone of a community can be
affected by this organization-
now let us look into the social
influence of it
In the first place, any moral
development is sure to bring
improvement in social conditions.
A clean, attractive school room
and school grounds are sure to
have a refining influence on the
roughest in school. Before
we realize the cause of the
change we find the children
more interest in their per-
appearance, caring more
for books, flowers and pictures,
in fact, living on a higher plain
altogether. Naturally this in-
is felt at home and
, brings sunshine where all was
darkness before. But in addition
to what improvement and
development the silent
of environment may bring about,
the good that is derived from
being brought in touch with pa-
rents of pupils is inestimable.
Nothing seems to me more
essential to successful
than to know personally the
parent of every child. We can
then appreciate more fully the
needs of each pupil an. are
I brought more in sympathy with
parents, sympathy in
heartier cooperation on
the part of parents results
in better more in-
and harder work.
This association of mutual
breaks down the barrier that
so often exists between the
teacher and especially
Of poorer patrons, and it is that;
class we wish to help.
The easiest and most success-
way to reach a child is through
a parent, and vie versa, so with
this double force of attractive
wholesome environment and
