ELEVENTH GRADE ADDED
SCHOOL.
TO
The Kings Mountain graded school
has added the eleventh grade to its
curriculum to take effect this year.
This will give a number of young peo
ple the advantage of another year of
school without going away aa has
heretofore been necessary. All those
who have graduated from the tenth
grade and have not pursued their
studies elsewhere beyond the eleventh
can re-enter the school and take the
eleventh grade. This beats going
away for the year ln two respects. It
gives them the benefit of home envir
onment for another year and saves the
money they would have to spend to
put them still another year further
ln college.
The faculty for the ensuing year is
yet incomplete but Is taking shape.
Prof. J. T. Allen has been elected su
perintendent and has accepted. Some
of the teachers have also been secur
ed but until the faculty Is complelo
we will not publish the list in part.
It is hoped that parents and children
will keep the school in mind and be
ready for a full and regular attend
ance from the start.

because of its rider repealing the day

a vote of 247 to 135 to pass the meas

mustered by the repeal advocates was

PATHWAY OF DUTY IS PLAIN
Paramount Obligation, to Prevent the
World From Return to Rule of Bar
Barism and Brute Force.
Washington. Praising the league
of nations covenant as "one ot the
world's greatest documents." Senator
Swanson, of Virginia, a democratic
member of the foreign relations com
mittee, told the senate that If the
United States rejected the league it
"would mean that she skulk in the
greatest world crisis that ever occurred."
The speaker defended the league
against the objections that It would
sacrifice sovereignty and American
traditions and asserted that on the
contrary it would result in Immense
material gain in protecting American
Integrity and preventing war. He de
clared it would not create a super-
government, involve objectionable ob
ligations nor "invalidate the Monroe
doctrine.
"The pathway of our duty is plain,"
said Senator Swanson. "Let us not
be frightened by our own prodigious
shadow as it projects itself Into world
affairs. Let us not be deterred from
our manifest duty and destiny by a
craven fear of becoming great In giv
ing service and direction to a world In
a direst hour of its needs and distress.
Pointing out that the war has sha
ken the social order to its foundation,
the Virginia senator said It was the
paramount obligation of responsible
statesmen to prevent another such
conflagration, which would return the
world "to the rule of bruto force and
barbarism of the dark ages."
