The Bulletin Editor
Writes from Asheville
Asheville, N, C., July 9.—Dur
ing the past few meetings of the
Rotary and Kiwanis clubs in
Tryon some interesting programs
have been given. Retiring presi
dent B. B. Bishop, Jr., gave an
interesting talk on “Hogs" at the
Rotary club last week. The last
two Kiwanis meetings were very
interesting. Last week Supt. W.
A. Schilletter told of the needs of
Trycn school for more Home Eco
nomics equipment, also the need of
Manual Training and Business
Courses in order to fit students
for their life work and give them
something more than just book
learning. This week C. M. Howes
fascinated the Kiwanis ns with his
experiences at an insane asylum
where he was an official for over
two years. He described the dif
ferent forms of insanity and dem
onstrated methods used in handling
the most difficult inmates. The sec
retary of the club was strapped in
a straight jacket and treated as an
example. (That’s why he had to
take a vacation).
The Briarhopper Boys
The Briarhopper Boys from
Charlotte entertained a full house
at Tryon’s Theatre last night.
String music and singing of the
better kind was rendered in a
most enjoyable manner. The aud
ience showed their appreciation by
the very liberal applaure following
each act. This group will furnish
the music for the dance tonight
at the school gymnasium, and will
w_ be stepping on your toes?

FILLER
Channing Pollock, playwright
and author, who has a serial story,
“Synthetic Gentleman,” in The
Polk County News, relates this in
teresting bit: “William Gillette,
the actor, studied stenography apd,
living in a boarding house of the
better class^ practiced evrry eve-,
ning by taking down all that was
uttered in the drawing room.
Yeers later he went over his note
books and found that in four
months of incessant conversation
no one had said anything that
made any difference to anybody.”
