For msny yesr* Mount Airy lias
been hoping for and looking forward
'• the tin* when she would have as
wsll equipped" schools as sny town
of her sise. To a large extent this
ha» ronw tnie, and mora has been
done this year than in sny other
year in the school's history.
The standard of the school has
been rsised considerably. Spsnish
has been ndded to the language snd
chemistry to the science.
In connection with chemistry and
physics s laboratory has been equip
ped. The equipment has recently
arrived snd been installed. This
equipment consists of chemicals and;
spparstu* for performing experi
ment* in chemistry and physics.:
While it is not complete it consists!
of the most essential things needed
in laboratory work. A laboratory,
hss been greatly needed in Mount
• Airy High School in the science de
partment and we hope the students
will avail themselves of the oppor
tunity to prove by experiments the
theories they learn in physics and
J chemistry books.
A new feature In the High school
this year is the addition of a complete
bostneee course. This Is elective
for tenth snd rleventh grade students.
High school athletics has been de
finitely organised with Mr. Murphy
in charge of the boys and Miss
Groves the girls.

Would Ium Nothing But
Serial Bond*
Charlotte, Oct. 7.—The formal In
stallation of the Tax Inquiry, incor
porated, charter for which haa boon
issued with Plummrr Sewart aa pre
sident and Mian Julia Alexander aa |
secretary, and an address by 1. W.
Bailey of Raleigh, former federal
revenue commissioner, featured the
firat official meeting of the orgsnna
tk>n at courthouse thia morning.
Mr. Bailey laid ^ere were two
factors reaponsible for the wide
spread intereat in the aubject of
taxation, firat, the tremendoua and
sudden increases of taxea of all
aorta, state, county and national,
and second the revulainn at what ia
known aa the revaluation art.
"We can resist extrarairance and
vainglorious projects desirable in
themselvea, but beyond our means;
we can arrest the present tendency to
issue bond* for all sorts of magnifl
rcnt enterprises," Mr. Bailey aa .J.;
He aaid that he would advocate that
there ahall never be isa'ued train in
North Carolina a public bond except
of a aerial kind which ahould be a«- j
rompanied by a sufficient tax to
provide the money to retire it. "It
ia nothing short of foHy to exhaust
the credit of the atete, or country or
a town with long term bond iaaoea
payable 30 or 49 year* hence aa we
are now doing. No aenaible buaineaa
nfan would do auch a thing for htm
aelf. The day of reckoning la sure
to come."
