Training School Closed.

Greenville. N. c., July lon July
18th. the East Carolina Teachers
Training School closed it's second
school year. During this year five
hundred and twenty eight students
were enrolled This in fa5e of. the
fact that the dormitories will &C.
commodato only about two hundred
students.
During the summer term three
hundred and one students were en-
rolled. This term of eight weeks
was a most successful one. In adj
dition to the regular class room
work, series Of public lectures on
educational subjects was delivered.
Among those who delivered address
ses were the following: DR.. L. G.
Gibbs, DR.. G. D. Strayer. Teachers
College, Columeia University. Mr.. l.
0. Schaub. West Raleig. DR.. Jno R.

Laughinghouse, Col. Jno. L. Gun
ningham, Durham, Mr.. Harold
Barnes, Philadelphia. Miss Edith
Register, assistant superintendent of
Wake county school, Raleigh, and
Gov. Thss. j. Jarvis.
The student body Of the summer
term was composed of teachers and
supervising officials.
1t is the aim of the summer term
of the Training School to offer to
teachers of North Carolina a course
of instruction that will enable those
attending the school to become NOR e
efficient. To do this it was necessary
70 offer variety Of courses. There
were forty-six different combina-
lions offered. These courses were
such that any public school teacher
having recognized his needs could
take just the line of work which
would supply that need and thus
add to his efficiensy. AS far as it
was practicable, the boohs adopted
by the State were used as text
books.

'S'deathl A thief always returns to
see if there is anything more he can
steal. I shall have him within a couple
of hours, and after I've mopped the
earth with him for half an hour 1 will
land him in the police station
I'll buy you two new spades out of
my own money if you'n let the matter

Never. woman-never! I am not

daylight, and justice demands victim.
1 go to secure him.
At 10 O'Clock the moon went down,
the stars paled and the night wind died
away. It was an ideal night for a man
who wanted to steal a pickax-also for
an old sleuth. Looking from a back
window Mrs. BoWser observed Nemesis
stepping softly over the grass and
crouching alongside the fence. Seven
thieves, each one intent on gobbling a
crowbar, might have been watching
and listening, and yet they would
had made the round of the yard and
found all safe, he softly opened the
gate and passed out into the alley.
Not a leaf stirred.
Not a cat yeowled.
Not thief sprang up and dashed
away.
Twice had Mr.. Bowser passed up
and down the alley the length of his
block, peering under wagons and be-
hind boxes. his nerves stretched at
their fullest tension, when an event
suddenly evented. An old horse that
had been lying in the shadow of the
fence and seemed a part of a pile of
ashes suddenly sighed and groaned
and rose up to look for oats. Mr..
Bowser was looking for danger, and he
was equal to the emergency. In two
jumps and a spring he was inside his
own yard and had the gate shut and
was prepared to sell his life at the
highest cash price. For three minutes
there was dark. deep silence, with reg
ular seven-cent calico reduced to four
for one day only. Then the discour-
aged old horse fell against the fence
with another groan and gave away his
identity.
The night grew deeper.

Mr.. Bowser had gone out and kicked
and thumped that old horse out of the
alley and made him wish he was a to-
bOggan and had returned to his point
of vantage when the sound of a football
reached his ears. 1t came from the
north. It was not the bold and honest
tread of an elephant, but the sly and
fugitive football of a man, of q, sneak.
Pitpatt Pitpat. 1t came nearer and
nearer, and it grew softer and softer.
Mr. Bowser stood at the open alley
gate and shut his teeth hard. The
moment for which he had lOnged was
at hand. Presently he could make out
a darker shadow among the shadows
At ten feet away that shadow paused.
1t was wondering if it could steal the
back end of Mr.. Bowser's house and
sell the bricks for two beers and a
nights lodging. After a moment it
beers had forced it onward. Pitpat!
Pitpat! Pit
VILLAIN, have thee."
He had walked straight into Mr..
Bowser's arms. He was clutched and
dragged into the yard and flung down
and rolled over.
'.Ah, you spade thief, but knew you
would return! After the crowbar, are
you? Won't the pickax do you?'
You old ass, what are you doing?"
shouted the unknown.
Don't call me names or I'll crack
your skull!''
LET go of me! Let me up! Who
do you take me for -
TN choke the life out of you."

Five minutes later Mrs. Bowser, who
had kept vigil at the window, was out
in the yard Mr.. Bowser lay on his
back on the grass and seemed to be
asleep, and a man stood near looking
down at him.

be right there with his little song
about Stafford having men born and
reared and trained for these places.
Doesn't Take Himself Seriously.
That's the best thing about Akers.
He is just the same as he always has
/ been. From Stafford printer TO sue

/ a department in the executive Offices
is big boost up the ladder, but the

does not take himself seriously. He
does not think he is holding up the

that's why you like Akers when you
come to know him. Here is a sample
of the Stafford mans daily reflections:
