SESSION NEARLY OVER
Last CT the Public Schools in Ihis
County Will Close Within Next FcV,
DAYS. i

1t will only be a few days now
New Hanover county will close. Some
of the schools have already closed but
there are others that have not been
open the full seven months and they
will not be closed until that time has
elapsed. All the schools of the coun
ty are supposed to open at the same
time but for different reasons some OF
them were a few days late opening
and others had to be closed during the
term for a few days.
AS usual thing the public schools
90 not close before the latter part Of
Auril but during the past session Il
new plan was adopted, the schools be-
ing opened on September 1st. a month
earlier than heretofore. This was
done so that the children who assist
on the farms would not have to stop
school in the spring. There is but liz
tie for the children to do on the farms
during the month of September but
it is quite different during April. The
change has worked admirably and the
attendance during the past session
would have been much larger thal
usual had not there existed unusual
conditions. There was cOnSidera b3y
more sickness than usual during the
past winter among the children and
the prevalence of smallpox in the coun-
ty caused the attendance to fall OFT,
and especially when compulsory vac
cination was ordered. Even with these
conditions, the attendance was fully
as large as during the previous sesy
sion and work done was much better.
