Spl—did Opportunity la Local High School Nsver More hu the hick school boy or girl in Mount Airy had as fine opportunities as are offend in this food rear 1922 for acquiring • broad education. Two baaement room* in the high school building have been finished up, one foa. • laboratory, the other for a commer cial department. The commercial ^department has 28 pupils enrolled [wider Mlas Hornet. Fifteen splendid typewriters of either Underwood or Remington make are at the disposal of the pupils, they practice In shifts and in connection will study English, short hand and book-keeping so that at the end of the two-year course they hwill be prepared to take positions in ^offices. This course is open to pupils of the 10th and 11th grades. In the past the students of physics and chemistry have been handicapped because they had no laboratory in which to demonstrate or try out the theories taught in their books. This year they have n splendidly equipped laboratory, equal to al most any in the high schools of the state and smaller colleges. The school offers a four-year course in this department, in fact, all high school pupils are enrolled in thia department. The laboratory work is under the direction of Messrs. Murph and Robinson. Spanish has been added to the languages taught this year. The importance of this language to the Jcoming generation has been empha sised more than ever in the last few years, since trade relations have been opened up with our South American neighbors who ore Span ish speaking people.

This wo«M be a tragedy for the Bailey establish ment, for hitherto H has been child less. ■' " Mr. Bailey is a matter-of-fact per son. He started to the poetoffice at 10 p. m. A white bundle lay on one side of the porch Intuition told him what the bundle contained/ though there was no movement from it. The infant waa sound asleep.

Juat one waok bafora hta death Mr. Fawcett was taken suddenly 111 at hla home and was Immediately carried to Martin hospital where an operation was par formed In tha ho pea of • pa ring his life, For several days hi* relatives and ffianda ware hopeful of hla re covery, but Tuesday he began sink ing rapidly and tha end to his suffer ings came about seven o'clock Wed neaday morning, Oct. 4th. Mr. Fawcett was born near Dah lia, Ireland, April 2, 1842, of Scotch English lineage, and waa the grand son of Capt Francis Lyon of tha Bo: •} navy who waa a valiant offi cer la the war of lilt With hla parents he settled in London, On tario, whan eight years old, and aa he grew to manhood ha developed into one of the leading and brightest young man of that province. While in Ontario be married Miss Mary Lenfeetey, the daughter of John Lenfeatay of English and Huguenot descent, who was a wealthy and prominent citisen of the province of Ontario. Mrs. Fawcett preceded her husband to the grave about four years ago. From Canada Mr. Fawcett moved to Kalamazoo, Michigan, coming from that place to Mount Airy 38 years ago. At that time Mount Airy had no bank and was having to de pend upon the banks of distant citiea. Upon arrival here Mr. Fswcett saw the great need of such an institution and hia far-sighted judgment and pioneer spirit developed in the north country caused him to launch a move ment among hla bank friends which resulted in founding The First National Bank of Mount Airy. For 20 years he was actively at the head of this institution, serving as its president, and retired about 10 years ago, being succeeded by his eldest son, the late George D. Fswcett. The passing of Mr. Fawcett is a three fold loss—to his family, to hia country and to hla fellow-man. He lived to aee his large family of boys and girls go out into the world and take their stations among our most influential and useful ritisena. He waa a devoted father and husband and saw to it that his family had every advantage the timea offered. Several times his country called him for public service and in each in stince he responded with all his business ability snd the resources at his command. For several years he served as a member of the Board of County Commissioners. With the approach of years he desired to give up office but the insistent demands of his people induced him to csl) upon his great reserve of manhood and strength and continue the fight for progress in his county. Ha served many terms as a member of our city School Board and was a leader In our community for better school facilities. • T^»e dfrep interest he manifested In I the problem* of hia neighbor, hi* j fellow-man, makes his death a blow i to those who knew him and had been j benefited by his advice and financial' aid—and many are the number. He was gentle, kind, polite and enjoyed i the utmost respect and confidence' ol all. He was greatly interested in ♦very man owning a home and al ways encouraged and aided the young man to secure a permanent abode. His aound judgment madej him believe that no man is happier than when under hit own "vine and fig trd*? and ft was his delight to render any assistance he could to briny a boot tM* condition.
