To Beautify School Houses.
BY MRS. TAYLOR MOORE.

work 1t is not the work of an instant
or {. wear to transform the schoolhodses
Of today into the ideal houses that we
need But a little has been done here
and a little there until the whole real
ly amounts TO something. Possibly the
best thing that the association has yet
done has been to set the people to
thinking. When the people of our
State once fully realize the condition or
things it will not take them long to
begin to make improvements. AS 4
State and as a people We have long
been too indifferent. Almost the entire
matter of schools and schoolhouses
has been left to the teachers The
teachers poorly paid, overworked, and
frequently poorly equipped, have had
little time or energy to devote TO beau
fving school premises Reared I'M
der conditions where to get a bare
existence is a struggle, is 1t any wonder
that they have not had an opportunity
to cultivate q love for the heautIul?
Manv of the public teachers in North
Carolina are men and women, boys
and girls, who have had absolutely no
advantages for proper equipment Tor
the work. They have but done the
best they could. Their lives have been
so bare, so hard that it is no wonder
that they fail to realize that the houses
n which they are teaching are doing
-
iCry. 1t is one of the objects of the
association to show these teachers
what a simple ard effective thing it is
to clean up the houses and the grounds
Cleanliness is the fundamental prln-
Cirle. Then comes the effectiveness Of
decoration, a good picture, flower
in the room.
Another object of the association is
to arouse the people of the community
RI Of
and to the teacher. She should not be
made to carry the burden alone.
That we have been able to accomplish
these results to some extent is shown
by the reports received from the diff
ferent sections of the State. Some
show enthusiasm and untiring energy,
while others show that the field is ripe
for the harvest but that the reapers
are few This is a subject in which
every woman ought to be interested,
and, though our membership IS now
numbered by the thousands, we want
yet other members. Membership Is
such simple matter calling only for
interest, loving sympathy, and tactful
helpfulness. There is not woman
who cannot do something to make the
lives of some teacher or some set of
children a little richer, little fuller,
\ simple picture. book, newspaper
'ent regularly, a magazine, flower,
or a sympathetic word will do this.
Briefly stated, our purpose is to help
to make every school house in North
Carolina a bright attractive spot where
The children may learn to know some
hing of the good. the true, and the
beautiful We would help them TO live
clean lives. We would help to make
them good citizens. We call upon
very woman in North Carolina to help
us.

Fifty wears ago the vocation OF

The advent of I.JrSeS III hospitals

comfort to themselves, while the NOR

1t was no easy matter to bring order

of the visiting staff who said: The

Woman as Professional Nurses
Woman in the Business World.
BY MISS MI. WYCHE.

Has woman place in The business
world? you ask. If you are of the old
school you may wish reply in the
negative; if of the new order of things
in the affirmative. Is she capable of
filing positions in the office, counting
house and marts of trade? Ask thos''
who meet her there; they will from
personal experience, say yes.
Necessity is the mother of invention;
it is of the business woman also. Wo-
men forced to be bread winners could
not join the army of school teachers
and nursery governesses; the ranks
were full, hence the Clerk, stenogfaph-
er, bookkeeper, librarian and tele-
Graph operator We're the first steps IN
the evolution.
Ambition once fired, women entered
the professions and real business lie.

 The aged father of the boy now beams whenever the sightless youth Is spoken of. The veteran chief of police of Mont Romery in whose service Ed Mccall has been for over twenty years in speaking of the pleasure the father derived from the favorable impression the work of his son made said:
 .Ed Mccall has worked with me halt a life time and would trust him as far as any body would trust any man. He is a high toned. honorable man and it gives me and every man who knows the old man pleasure to see his boy reflect credit on him in his old age"

Jewels of Mrs. Poll Returned By
 Housemaid.
 Mrs. A. Moog yesterday received the gratifying intelligence that her daughter. Mrs. Alex Poll of Bessemer, had recov- cred all of her diamonds which were lost last week.
 It. will be recalled that Mrs. Poll on Thursday of last week missed her dia- nosids from her home in Bessemer. The diamonds were. valued at s600. The po- lice were notified and thorough search was made for them. The disappearance of the diamonds created q considerable sensation in Bessener.
 It now develops that the noise which wat raised at the disappearance of the diamonds was responsible for their re- turn. It appears that the diamonds were taken by a negro housemaId. She kept them secreted for several days In tho meanwhile the turmoil over the diamonds continued. She became alarmed and brought them back to the house.
 Watching her chance she secreted the diamonds, concealed in chamols skin rag. in the sleeve of an old waist, which was hung in a closet. Here the diamonds were foundd by Mrs. Poll.
