Girls’ Preparatory
School For Tryon
The project of securing a girls’
school for Tryon took another
forward step Tuesday. The Ki
wanis club joined with the Rotary
club in the organization of a com.
Tnittee to explore the possibilities
of getting a first class preparatory
school for girls with a thoroughly
modern educational plan. The
committee now consists of Dr. W.
S. Green, chairman; Dr. ML C.
Palmer, Prof. W. A. Sehilletter,
representing the Rotary club;
Carroll P. Rogers, Thomas Costa,
and Dr. C. Arthur Lincoln, rep
resenting the Kiwanis club. The
first committee meeting was held
at Hotel Tryon Tuesday at 2:00
P. M. Suggestions as to means
of making contacts with persons
likely to be interested in the loca_
tion of such a school were consid
ered and tentative plans were made
for expanding the membership of
the committee to make it more
representative of the community.
It was the opinion of the com
mittee that only a school of the
finest educational grade with a
high annual charge per pupil
should be encouraged to locate
here. For such a school Tryon
presents several unusual advant
ages. First, it has a unique all
vear-round climate because of its
location in the noted Thermal Belt,
a climatic condition authenticated
by numerous experiments made by
the U. S. Government. Several
expensive preparatory schools in
the North now move their entire

for at least three months each
winter. Tryon’s mild yet bracing
winter climate which has made it
popular as a winter place of resi
dence obviates the necessity of such
a move in the middle of the school
year. Its summer climate with its
cool mountain breezes would also
be comfortable for summer school
work.
Further points considered were
the abundant supply of pure
water making possible the develop
ment of a lake as well as swim
ming pools, the pictures que moun
tain scenery of this locality, the
presence of a community noted for
its cultural interests and the
community’s further advantage of
being somewhat secluded with no
city of considerable size in the
immediate vicinity. It was also
observed that while some excellent
preparatory schools are located in
other Southern states but very few
are found in North Carolina, es
pecially in the mountain sections
of this state. The committee
knows of no girls’ school in this
part of the South of the type it
hopes to see located here. Sug
gestions will be welcomed on any
phaze of this project. Another
meeting will be held at Hotel T y_
on at 2: P. M., Tuesday, August
2nd.
