OUR PUBLIC SCHOOL.
Some Important Changes to be
Made When the Next Ses-
sion Begins.

The following changes in the
Goldaboro public schools will % in
to effect September IL, next, when
the i'll term opens:
The new department of Domestic
Science will be directed by Miss Mel
| lie Cobb, who for the past year has
been connected with Brennan CD
lege, Gainesville, Ga. All female
students in the three highest grades
will be permitted to take Thu course.
Book keeping will be introduced for
all students in these three grades.
Vocal music will be introduced in
the three highest grades. The Board
Of Trgstees has elected Miss Mar
garet Castex to taae charge of this
work. She will also take the place
of assistant teacher and librarian.
One additioaal teacher has been
added to the 9Th grade. hi s Flor
ence MayerDerg is promoted from
the 9Th grade - fill the new position
and Miss Kate Lewis, of the Hen
dprson schools, has been elected to
take Miss Mayerberg's place. Miss
Sue Nash, of the Monroe schools has
been elected to take the place SO
ably filled by Miss Alice Jone'.
The object in adding these new de-
partments is to make the course of
stu y in the high school broad
enough TO attract every child of
school age. Two courses will be ar
ranged beginning in the middle of
the 7th grade-one leading to col
lege, the other leading to a more
practical lie. Both will lead to the
distinction of graduation. The stu
dents of the high school will be
given some latitude in choosing what
subjects they desire to study, and all
will not be required to take the
same course.
The year just closed has been an
unusual one. The exact numter of
da5 $ taught in tie wni:e school was
only 149, over a month being | st
through the spread of inftctive and
contagious diseases, yet the work
done has been very satisfactory d.
withstanding. The enrolment reach
ed 1,0O3, the highest in the history
of the school, although the census of
white children is over 100 less taan
last year. The average daily at
tendance was 707.

THE CANAL AUDIroRsHIP
1t Goes to Mr. w. b. Starke, of
The A. 81 n. C. r.. r. Here.

Mr.. w. B. Starke, well known
here as the Auditor of the A. & NC.
r. R., has been appointed by Presi-
dent Roosevelt to the Authorship
of the Panama Canal Commission,
and leaves at an early date to assume
the duties of his new field.
This appointment is in line with
the presidents recently announced
policy eliminating politics entirely
from the Canal work and having
only men of integrity and tried abil-
ity in charge, and as Mr.. Starke is
one of the ablest accountants in the
country his appointment is consider
ed but q just recognition of melt and
ability.
Mr.. STRIKE came to Goldsboro but
a short while ago, from Washington,
D.. c., where he was connected with
the Southern Railway in an import
ant and influential position, and
while his many friends regret to see
him leave they all extend congrat-
ulations en- this ~preferment, so richly
deserved, and best wishes for the
abundantsu success which will undoubt-
eddy be his.

smile would break over his coun-
tenance which he was unable to con-
troll.

The avidity with which several of
our business men endeavored to Sc

chaser, Mr.. Shrago, do not indicate
that prohibition is working detri-
