this fall and winter is Ancient and
Medieval history. So much new
knowledge of ancient man has been
recently discovered; so much new
and attractive material knowledge
of the regions inhabited by the
earliest civilizations, has been made
available by' the researches and ex
cavations of scholars like Breasted,
Hammerton, Osborne, and Tyler;
and so much light has been thrown
upon the geography of these conn
tries by writers like Durant and
Ludwig, as to invest the entire
subject 'with a new appeal and
charm.
The plan of Dr. Parker is such as
to make his classes .attractive to
listeners, as well as to students.
Je invites the attendance of all
interested persons to' his first class
lecture at 4:30 o'clock Friday after
noon at the high school building.
The college authorizes the enroll
ment of attendants who wish to
take 'the lectures without credit at
a fee of one-half the prescribed
cost of the course when taken for
college credit. No fee of any kind
is required for attendance . at the
first meeting.

of this region among the itineraries
offered to parties by' Elliott Tours.
Mr. Dowdell, who has conducted
sightseeing trips to California and
other sections of this country for
a number of years, as well as to
Europe, Mexico, Cuba and Canada,
s another enthusiastic convert to
the scenery of the Nantahalas.
"I had no idea, that all this beauy
existed," said Mr. Dowdell, after
experiencing the thrill of ascent of
Winding Stair and the sweeping
view from Wayah Bald. "I have
never seen any more beautiful
scenery in all my travels," he com
mented! "The view from Wayah i.
even superior in grandeur, to my
mind, than the view from Cling
man's Dome in the 'Smokies."
Mr.fDowdell expects, to bring a
party to Western North Carolina
next season.
