BISHOP KIIGO
RA! HOVE TO
PUTTE
Yesterday's Charlotte Observer |
carries a story which no doubt will
be of Interesting reading to the
Methodists of this city and also former
students of Trinity College residing
here:
That BMhjsp John C. Kilgo. of
Durham, former president of Trinity
College, and one of the best known
and' most Influential churchmen in
the South, is seriously considering;
moving to Charlotte Is an announcement
that will be of extraordinary
Interest not only to Charlotte people
but to the State at large as well.
Several years ago, shortly after
31shop Kilgo was elevated to the loftiest
position In the gift of the
Southern Methodist church. It was
stated that there was some posslbil
IV v* U1B UC1UR lUUUCHU Ul 111UTO w
Charlotte to live but this proved to
t>e a mistake. Since that time bishop
Kilgo has continued to reside in
Durham where he has a host of
rrlends and where he Is close in
loach wltii the Institution to which
ie gave many of the best years of
lis life.
Recently, however, he has found
hat owing to the district to which
ie has been assigned by the Colege
of Bishops and the amount of
raveling that fcto has to do, some
>ther point would be preferable as a
place of residence where he could
teeure better train schedules than
ire the case within his present locaion.
This Is said to be one ol thr
'actors entering Into the shuatlon
hat has caused him to consider a
shange.
Another consideration ts the fact
hat Charlotte Is rapidly growing as
i Methodist stronghold and this
piedmont territory is regarded as a
fertile field for enlarged effort,
there Is pot a member of the Colege
of Bishops fa ttUa section and
t la believed that the presence of
>ne of them here would have the
?ffect of stimulating the cause that
Is already In such flourishing and
gratifying condition. This would
bring Bishop Kllgo closer to his
native State, than of 8onth CarolinaBind
to Rock Hill where he labored
for several years, and it wonld add
to the fellowship of his associations
with the past.

One Fourth Previ
Is Trace
Figures, of the kind that do not
lie, Bay that one-fourth' of all preventable
deaths can be traced to
tuberculosis. That's a challenge to
the people to use a quarter-of the
funds appropriated to public health
work and expend a quarter ol the
effort for better sanitation In special
educative and preventive work to
cheek the rave fee of this one dieEducation
Is the main thing. That
Includes prevention. The central idea
of North Carolina's policy toward
tuberculosis Is that of education.
The scheme looks to the State Sanatorium,
near Montrose, which opened
December 1, as a sort of central
training school, and to a Bureau of
Tuberculosis, to be established at
Raleigh In connection with the genera)
health work, as a correspondence
school for those who, for one
reason or another, cannot go to the
Sanatorium.
By thh trs*. of the new year there
will he ItS patients In thn sanatorium,
or tit in the year, the average
stay heing stx months. These
people will be taught by personal
contest, by Illustrated lectures, and
by the rales and praotloss of the
