S.S.' THIRD ANNUAL MEETINS STATE SUPEjlENTENDENT MAKES ADDRESSES Interesting Program Carried Out By Sunday Sctod Workeiw Of . the County. The second meeting of th/b Tran sylvania County Teaohere’ Associa tion w.as held at the grad^ sohool on Friday and Saturday of last week. Supt. Henderson presided, and made* a few opening remarks when the teachers assembled Fri day morning. , ^ In the abseno« of Rev. Panl F. Brown, 'vosho^had been appointed to lead in devotional exercises, Bev. A. J. Manly read a ^ragraph of Scripture and led fti prayer. The program was then taken np. > The first topic, “How to Study,” hased on one of the books in the teachers’ reading course, was led by C. M. Gallamore. Mr. Galla- more contended that study should be required, and that it should degin early. Entertainment alone is not sufficient; work must be cone. Only the very small ones should be excused. In regard to the idea of neglecting non-essen tials, he said that this was in some* respects very dangerous. He be lieved that everything in the text book should be taught. Miss Daisy Holcom took up the second topic on the program, which Fas ^*Siory Dramatization^” and read a well prepared paper.. Ac cording to her paper children are born dramatists, and the talent should be made use of. By this means the speaking voice is devel oped ; self-forgefifulness Is induced. The process should be carried through all the grades, but is very difficult unless begun in the first, before self-consciousness has set in. Miss Hattie Aiken continued the same subject, emphasizing some points necessary to be considered by the teacher, such as allowinpj to the children as much freedom as possible She then ha^ a class of children' to dramatize the story of “Epanimondas,” which was done with considerable success. “The Foundations of Method” was next discussed by Oliver Orr in a brief but logical and compre hensive address. Mr. Orr pointed out that the nature of the child on on first entering school gave the foundation of methods to^be ein- phasized in his education.'^ At that time the child is full of activity, siijoys this activity, and' conse quently develops. The teas-oher should strive to keep this activity alive and direct it to useful ends. Miss Elise Walker next read some selections on the subject of I^ature Study, which were very interesting and afforded many hints to the alert teacher as to the ways in which this important l)randh of study might be pur^ned. “Construction Work” was intro duced by Miss Mary Underwood, and a display of work done in the school rooms was called for. , The response to this was not general, ^nt a few striking specimens, .were exhibited. Miss Underwood had brought some work done by the primary grades at Bosman. Mip Julia Owen of Calvert showed soiri© excellent work in coloring of flow and birds done by pupils in her school. Miss Mary Rankin of English liapel had for display some 1jeau- ^]il table covers work^ by her ® ildren. All this display work ^ent to prove what a new and live ® cment had been introduced into ® schools of this county. ,The dossils are Jiated.

Hamlin, and “Sunday Scl;iool Mu sic,” by M. JJ Orr.

Norton near Brevard. All of the living children were present with the exception of one son, E. D. NeiUyOf far away Oklahoma. Although we all telt the loss of one who was with us at our reunion aYear*vago whom we all so dearly ' loVt^d, we tried to raako the gathering one pf as innoh plieasure and profit to each other as possible under the circumstances. We all enjoyed being together and talked of many of the things of bye-gone days. Those present ;were/Mr. and Mrs. Frank Hill of Victoria, N. C.; Mr. F. Q. Hill gf Oakway, S.

On the g(^f links for the conve nience and ioomfort of the guesto will bei erect^ a twenty room dub house '^of archit^tm:^ design" in keeping with the surrounding coun try,''* central gathering place for the amusement (^'the guests whicli will lj)e unusually attractive. The club house, as all the other build ings, will be lighted with electric ity and. will be ’appropriately fur nished. Quite a good deal of work will he done upon tha Inn in the way of remodeling and improving the building. Forty new bath rodfhs will be added. The whole will be re-painted throughopt, both the exterior and the interior, and made /to look like nbw. The contract for thls’has been l^t to IS. F.

The majority f these are definitely decided upon and . the - contracts for the work have been let. Mr. Jennings left last Friday afternoon for his home in Pittsburg. The bigg^t of the several things to be immediately undertaken at the Lake is the building of a twen- ty-four, foot road around the lake. The lake itself, one .of the most beautif ul in all of the eastern por tion of the United States,' is about seventeen miles around, and the road in following the contour of the lake will necessarily be some thing longer than this, probably about twenty ndles altogether. The road is to be graded and made of sand clay after the most modem and approved methods of ro^ building, and will be one of the made on original development there. X)n the work of surveying the road there are ^t present engaged a number of yangineers, and their work will likely be completed with in the next wee^. As soon as the survey is completed and approved the work of building the road will be begun and steadily pi^shed to^ completion. The second thing in importance is to be the building of an electric light plant for the lighting of the hotel and grounds. Power will be' developed from the l^ke to the ex tent of about 250 horse power, and the hotel and the entire founds will at night be made as brilliant as el^trlcity can accomplish. The machineol for the hyc^-electrlc development as well fas the power house„ for the distribution of the current have already been ordered and the wo^ will begin a3 soon as the machinery can reach the prop erty. , Probably the next biggest thing will be'the building of'a nine hole golf course., Golf is recognized as one of the most popular sports in the country today. It is the, one game that keeps the player'^ Wt doors and at the same time does not require too much of physical exertion. At numbers of resort places golf has proven a strong drawing card for touristy, and the •fact ithat Lake Toxaway will have 'a modern nine hole pours© will un doubtedly tend to make it ev^ more popular m the future than it has been in the past.
