BOONE, WATAUGA COUNTY, N. C. THURSDAY MAY 19, 1921. NO 30 75 1- i: -..i; v ;''V.':' LET THE M4P STAND "The Kiwanis Club of Winston Salem favors the construction of roads in the seventh highway district as laidout in the state highway map attached to the bill that formed the basis of the present state highway law, and earnestly urges the State High way Commission to complete these main roads as mapped be fore any netf projects shall be undertaken in the Seventh Dis trict. In this definite manner did the Kiwanis Club, representing prac tically every business and pro fession in the city of Winston Salem, go on record yesterday for building first the permanent highways linking up the "Lost Provinces" with the heart of the state by the shortest possible routes. The present map out lines these routes. One of the ' roads that the Ki wanis Club favors and one of the main roads on this map is un doubtedly going to be built. Its early construction was settled finally at the meeting in Elkin Wednesday when Chairman Page of the state commission, and Commissioner Dough ton, of the Seventh District, received bids for building a highway from Sparta to Elkin. This is merely a link in the great highway that will come on through Elkin and give Alleghany county, connec tion with the Piedmont section at Winston-Salem. We think the Commissioners are wise in build ing across the mountains first. For the peepleof the mountains need hard-surface roads worse than we need them in this sec tion, because no soil road ever built will stand up under the winter freezes in the mountains . of this state. The Journal is happy thatwork is soon to begin on a permanent highway giving one of the "Lost Provinces" an outlet to the State. But The Jouraal agrees with the Kiwanis Club that no time should be lost in and-no other projects should be permitted to hinder the construction of another high way into the Northwest linking up the three other "Lost Provin- C3S with the Piedmont section by fie shortest possible route. That route is a highway from Wins-toi-Salem via Yadkinville and Wilkesboro to Boone and Jeffer son. Tbefgrading of the highway from Winston-Salem to Boone has been practically completed over the route outlined on the map. The engineering problem has been solved. No finer foun dation for a hard surface can be found anywhere in North Caroli na. The road serves more coun ties in the Seventh District than any other highway that could possibly be built. At the same " time it gives the Piedmont, cen tral and eastern sections of the State the shortest road that can be built iuty) Tennessee, there connecting with the great Dixie Highway to the West. It is, there fore, the least expensive inter State road to the Wet that can be constructed by the btate. For these reasons the people of the Seventh District should in . .w a, Z u k T n bar of their recovery. All per sist, that this highway be built ) indebted to said estate" will before any new projects are un dertaken by the State Commis sion in this section of the State. After the great - inter-state high-, way is completed, if there is any money left, it will be time to talk about other less important pro jects. In considering this matter, State as well as county authori ties should not forget that this highway from Winston-Salem to Boone is on the map that was so universally approved by the peo- THE COUNTRY EDITOR HE IS HUMAN Your home editor is not as bad as he looks. Neither is he as good or bad as you think he is. He knows that everybody wants space in his newspaper without paying for it, if there is any slick way of getting such space for nothing. Your home editor seldom goes on the street but what he passes a lot of people who have not paid up their subscription to his pai per. Yet these unpaid subscrib ers are usually the first to find fault with his paper or tell him how to run it, If the home editor would tell all the truth about all of us, there would be no editors. We ought to pay hhn a lot for what he leaves out of his columns about us. We owe the editor more than any other institution and seldom pay him even the interest we owe on the debt he has against us. . Home editors will do mighty well to save enough money in a lifetime to pay car fare to heaven or eisewhere. Pay up and get your neighbor to subscribe and pay in advance. Do it now. Ex.

We read; The Dew Drop is entered as second class matter at Boone, N. C." As readers of The Jour nal know, Boone is the home of one of the great educational in stitutions maintained by the State primarily for the training of teachers. Hence itsname: "Ap palachian Training School. The April number of the ''Dew Drop contains an inspiring story of the progress of that institution. No one can read it without feeling that of all the fine assets the Northwestern section can boast great teacher-training plant is the finest. Prof. B. B. Dougherty is the Superintendent of the Appa- achian Training School, and has been since it was founded eigh teen years ago. It was born in poverty, but Prof. DoughertyV report to the trustees this year shows that it has a plant whose estimated value is five hundred thousand dollars. It has an en rollment this year of 255, exclu sive of summer terms. The stu dents come from seventeen coun ties. The school started with a fac ulty of five teachers It now has eighteen. At the start the State gave the Appalachian Training School an appropriation of $2, 300 for teachers' salaries. This year it appropriates $2,000 for that purpose. At first the State appropriated $1,500 for the plant. During all the school's history the State has given for buildings, and and equipment a total of on- $72,500. It is a remarkable tribute to Prof. Dougherty's bus iness ability that with so small an appropriation from the State he has managed in these eigh teen years to build aschool worth at least five hundred thousand dollars. From the report we learn that no student is now admitted that has not completed the public school course. The work requir ed for graduation covers the work of a standard high school and, in addition, one year's work in college subjects. At first there were no "specials" except in strumental music. Now .there are teachers for piano, art, agri culture, cookery, sewing print- ng, s'nop work and pedagagy. An interesting section of Prof. Dougherty 's report gives in de tail the property now owned by the instituion as follows: Item 1. The Edmisten farm of two hundred acres. Item 2. The New River Light - t and Power Company's plant. Item 51: The Coffey farm of two hundred acres. Item 4. The school campus which contains forty acres. tern 5. Administration Build ing, Science Hall, Lovill Home and the new dormitory. These are large brick buildings. The first two are used for schoo work and the last two for dormi tories. Item 6. Watauga Academy Lovill Home, Arts and Crafts and Newland Hall, frame buildings which are used for school pur poses. item 7. A number of cottages ased for housing laborers. Item 8. A horse barn and new dairy barn. Item 9. Two teams of heavy farm mules and a herd of 28 Hoi stein cattle. Item 10. Miscellaneous equip ment for farms, shops, labora cory, kitchens and bedrooms, library of 8,000 volumes. The Appalachian Training School on the other side of the Blue Ridge is the destination of one of the magnificent state high" ways that will be constructed un der the Doughton-Oonnor-Bowie Act. This institution, in fact, constitutes one of the big reasons why it is necessary for the state to build highways linking up Watauga county with the balance of North Carolina.
