Rockingham City School
Board Resolutions Against
Pig Pens.

The Rockingham City School
Board in regular session Tuesday
night passed unanimously the
following resolution, addressed
to the Mayor and City Board of
Aldermen of the town of Rock
ingham:
Whereas, it has been brought
to the attention of the City School
Board of the Town of Rocking
ham that a movement is under
way to petition the Mayor and
Board of Aldermen of said town
to rescind the Town Ordinance
by which it was made unlawful
to maintain pig-pens within
the town limits, the said City
School Board, who feel charged in
large measure with the RESPONSE
bility for the physical as we'll as
the mental welfare of the 817
children enrolled in our city
schools and the many hundred
others not yet 6 years of age, re-
spectfully but strongly urge that
your City Board of Aldermen will
stand firm against any such Pc
tition and refuse to take any step
that will be a blow aimed at the
Sanitary condition of our city and
therefore at the health of the
more than a thousand boys and
girls of your city who are not in
a position to speak for themselves
in this matter in which they are
in the nature of things the most
interested parties. We solemnly
protest with all the vigor and
strength of which we are possess
ed that even should the price of
Fat-back rise until it sweeps the
skies the health of our boys and
girls is worth more than pork,
and the round and rosy cheeks
of happy, healthy children than
all the hogjowls in Ch1istendom.
If it is a question of Children or
Hogs, please count our vote for
the children.

aid and Miss Esther Case, were
read by Mrs. A. M. Palmer and
Mrs. Henry Ledbetter. These
letters were very interesting as
well as instructive, and gave a
full report of the mission work
both at home and in foreign
fields, and called attention to the
great needs of both fields. This
being the first meeting of the
New Year, the Corresponding
Secretary then distributed Pledge
Cards, that each one might make
her annual pledge. Before max
ing the pledges Miss Biggs ex-
planned the successful use of the
cards in the mission work and
stated that before their adoption
the funds of the society were
inadequate to carry on their por-
ton of work. Miss Biggs then
read an interesting selection
from the Missionary Voice
Thoughts for Pledge Day." A
letter from Miss Sallie Lou Nc
kinnons Missionary to Soochow,
China, from the Rockingham
District, which told of her safe
landing and happiness in her
work as teacher in the Virginia
school, was read by Miss Faith
Covington. A short business
session was held. Treasurer's
report for the year of 1917 was
given, which showed a net
increase of III per cent in f.
nances. The meeting was closed
with Scripture Lesson. The
Stewardship of Prayer" Next

airy 18th with Mrs. H. F. Long.
