CHEROKEE CO. 1 MAKING PROGR S IN SCHOOL WORK So Reports Miss Smith After Visit ing County Recently To Study Attendance (By Lisbcth Parrott) RALEIGH. \. C.. Oct 22.?' "Cher j okee Count) is making remarkable progress in developing its scohols." Miss klizabeth Smith, director of school attendance for the state board of charities and public wel fare. reported upon her return to Raleigh after spending a week in Cherokee county recently. "IT Cherokee keeps up up the pace of I rogress it has been going during the last four yt*ars, it will soon lie numbered among the counties hav ing better school sv stems in the state." she said. Miss Smith was superintendent of tiuhlic welfare in Cherokee Count) for three years, but sjnee April has been connected with the state board. Sin has visited Cherokee Count) fre quently and has kept in close touch with local problems. During her recent \ isit she launched a school attendance survey in Cherokee Coun t\. Cherokee having been selected as one of the six counties for study. Other counties in which the survey will be made are Lenoir, I nion. Moon . Halifax and Orange. In Cherokee, the problems of a moun tain section will be studied espec ially. "Much credit should go to Super intendent A. L. Martin and the mi ning efforts of his board of edi: ?ion ** Miss Smith said. " I he i. ?\ should be congratulate*! upon Jie erection of its first two consoli dated schools now going up. This is quile a sl^D forward. Miss Smith declared that the chief school attendance problem in Cherokee County is transportation, on account of unimproved roads. >he believes that the people are not indifferent to the value of sending heir children to school. She said that Cherokee County took a real step forward when it started truck ing its children to school, hi this way, when the roads all over the county are improved, the main diffi culty in getting the children to school will be met, she declared. Miss Smith emphasized the need of children's going to school regularly, saving, "When children stay out of school several days each week, they are not only lowering the average of school attendance in the county, \\i.l they are full ing behind in their work. It is practicalh impossible lor the child to keep up his interest in class work when he does not at tend regularly. It is just like read ing a story on the installment plan, land skipping every other install ment. A child can't understand the connection of the lessons, and loses i interest." M iss Smith visited thirt\ schools during the week she spe-nt in Chero kee and a'=<> rrici with a iarpe group of teachers at a meeting in Murphy. She reported good school attendance throughout the county, and a fine spirit of cooperation everywhere. "When I visited Cullowhee state normal school, 1 found 45 Cherokee teachers attending summer school. This means there is an interest back home in having better teachers, and an interest on the part of the teach ers in improving themselves." Miss Smith declared that four years ago the two county high schools at Andrews and Murphy, were attended only by town stu dents. but that on account of the school bus system, the majority of Uudents were now from the rural sections. The organization was perfected and the contest to continhe another six months under the same officers. \ committee was appointed to in vite .ill other Methodist Sunday schools in the western part of the itate to participate in the contest, as it is open to all.

HER3EP.T CURTIS PURCHASE LAKE CARROL LANDS One of the largest real estate deals closed in Clav ( .on 11 ty /-'for ^ somgjj months was that of the purchase of 161 acres including Lake Carroll by Messrs. F. Herbert and Edd L. (!ur lis. local business men. This prop erty was bought from Messrs. Alpine Lucas and J. A. Mangold who have been in ooscssion of it for several years. Lucas and Mangold and others spent considerable money im proving the property. The lake which covers an area of thirty acres is stocked with bream and bass, and is an ideal place for boating and swimming. It is fed by fresh water springs and streams which makes it ideal for game fish. Messrs. Herbert and Curtis will continue to make improvements on the property, roads will be improv ed, ramp sites built and other things done to make this an ideal spot for those seeking rest, quiet and sport throughout the hot summer months. This property is located about 71/* miles from Hayesville, 11 from Mur phy and about 15 from Andrews and ran be reached by automobile from Hayesville via Sweetwater and from Murphy and Andrews via Peachtree and the Mission roads. NO. 28 GRADED TO CHUNKY GAL GAP Mr. J. G. Stikeleaiher Assures Com pletion of No. 28 The grading was completed about two weeks ago on highway No. 28 to Chunky Gal Mountain Gap, by ihe bonding company that had some months before taken over the work. Mr. J. G. Stikeleather. Road Com missioner for this district when in Hayesville Tuesday of last week, definitely assured the people that ^lo. 28 would be completed just as fast as funds were available, that he tried to get the bonding company to complete the remaining four miles | of grading but that they would not. i Mr. Stikeleather stated that he did not know whether it would be advis able to place another steam shovel in there this fall or not, if he could he would do so. but that if he could not this fall he would let the con contract for the remaining four miles in early spring. The completion of this ?*oad means much to the people of Clay County as it will do much to help develop the county, it will not only give a new outlet but will mean that numbers of peot>le will come into Clay County over this road that have not done so before.
