Brank Proffitt, Superintendent
of the Tryon School spoke on Pub
lic Education at Kiwanis Tuesday
at Oak Hall. Mr. Proffitt said
that public education was founded
upon the belief that every child
should be given an education and
that the schools should be non
sectarian. The speaker did not
feel that public schools and private
schools were in competition and
felt that both fulfilled needs.
The speaker pointed out that
public schools alloted their teach
e rerecording to the demands by
st€c^pts for certain subjects; there
for^; courses are taught which are
the most in demand. If a student
wants a specialised course it is
necessary for him to go to a pri
vate school that offers what he
wants.
K. A. Bowen, Craig Thomas
and P. L. Barnette were elected as
delegates to the Kiwanis District
Convention in Charlotte on Oct.
5, 6, and 7. Alternates are E. R.
Goodyear, Elbert H. Arledge and
Matt O’Shields.
Guests of the club were Jake
Ivery, Spartanburg; Bill Patton
and Duke Willard of Greensboro;
Dr. Joe O’Leary, H. M. Huxley
and Rev. H. A. Pruyn of Tryon.
A LONDON LETTER
London, England
Aug. 25, 1952
Dear Mr. Vining:
We have been away from Tryon
a little more than a month. In
Scandinavia we spent about ten
days going through the beautiful
fjords and over the mountains of
western Norway and the remainder
of the time visiting the cities of
Bergen, Copenhagen and Stock
holm. The fjords are as beautiful
as I remember them from over
thirty years ago and as beautiful
as they are in the many pictures
both movies and still pictures which
have been made of them so there
is no use attempting to describe
them. However communications are
vastly improved in the last 30
years. Large comfortable buses
| now take passenggers from one
fjord to another over picturesque
and thrilling roads over the
mountains to connecting small
steamers which take them through
the fjords. In one ride we went
from sea level to 4500 feet in
two hours around hair pin turns
which made the passengers gasp.
4500 feet seems much higher here
because at that elevation we get
above the snow line and look out
over a panorama of snow capped
[ peaks. During all of our stay m
1 Norway we slept under eider
down blankets each night and un
der as thick ones in Sweden—
Those eider down blankets in Ntor
way which they use in place of
sheets are from two to four inches
thick so you feel you are sleeping
under a feather bed, as well as
on one.
One thing that impresses me so
far in Europe seems small and yet
is really important and that is
