PNEUMONIA TRAPS FOR

In Wet Weather They Must Wade to
School and Sit Thru Sessions
Wet.footed.

The primary schools of Elizabeth
City for both white and black chill
dren are expected to be pneumonia
traps this winter, unless the city
works faster than it ever has worked
and paves some sidewalks and makes
a few street crossings.
On Harney Street, the primary
school has long been inaccessible in
wet weather, there being no paving,
and children have been obliged to sit
thruout the sessions with wet feet.
The conditions has repeatedly been
brought to the attention of the City
Council but nothing in the way Of a
remedy has been accomplished.
DIR. S. W. Gregory of the Graded
School Trustees at the last meeting
of the City Conucil called the atten-
ton of the Aldermen to the necessity
of constructing a sidewalk for a dis.
tance of three or four blacks to the
new colored school building on Body
Road which is costing the city $780,

LARGER TYPE TO BE
USED IN THIS PAPER
News Matter To Be Set in More
Readable Face Soon.

Here is good news for hundreds of
readers of THE INDEPENDENT.
Several rural subscribers have told
us that the reading matter type used
in this newspaper is too small for tired
eyes. Mr.. Saunders has been making
injuries and finds that readers gene
rally prefer a little larger face of
type. That settled it. An order has
been placed with the Mergenthalcr
Linotype Co., for larger and more
readable font of matrices from which
the body of this newspaper will be
cast in future.
The purchase of 1,j00 individual
brass molds or matrices is necessary
to equip typesetting machine with
a new face of type. 1t doesn't mat
ter; when the readers of this news
paper demand a thing within reason
they are going to get it. The change
TO the bolder face Of type will be
made as soon as the Mergenthaler
foundries can cut and deliver the new
mat,iccs-probably MT later than
