A Good Practice
Next Tuesday, Southport will have as her guests more than 2,000 white school children of the county as they gather here for their annual County Commencement Day exercises. We welcome the boys and girls and their teachers to Southport for that day.
Some counties in North Carolina have abandoned the County Commencement Day programs altogether. We are glad that Brunswick County is not one of them. It is our opinion that competition is still the surest means whereby to bring out the best qualities of the average boy or girl. In the heart of every individual is an inborn desire to excel.
Elsewhere in today’s State Port Pilot will be found a complete program for the day’s activities. Officials in charge have arranged a program that will give every boy and girl a chance to enter some form of competition. There is a close balance between the literary exercises and the athletic events.
Southport citizens can do much to help make the day a success by attending the exercises, especially the literary contests, which will be held in the high school building. The recitations and declamations should be of particular interest and the reading contests and spelling match should also be well worth hearing.
Nothing is more discouraging than to read, recite or declaim to empty seats. Make it a point to attend just as many features of the County Commencement Day program as possible.
