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.
The last thing on Friday’s pro-
meeting of the Coun-
The Transylvania Sunday Sohool
A^oiation held its opening session
in the .Presbyterian ehurch last
Saturday night. Rey. Lewis Collins
of ^sheville and /Mr. J. Van Carter
of kaleigh, ri^^resentatives of the
state association, were present, and
ponducted the introductory^ meet-
ing.:
Sunday morning the usual exer
cises of the Sunday schoolsr were
held in the various churches. .Sun
day afternoon at 3 f30 a second ses
sion was held in the Presbyterian
church, whicn was well attended
Bev. C. D.‘Chapman presided at
this meeting. 'The. principal speak
ers w^re Mr. Carter and Mr. Collins.
Mr. Carter gave an.interesting and
instructive acck>nht of what the
j
great Sunday schocd orgaaimtion
is doing. Mr; CoUlns «poke chiefly
of the importance'of teachers’meet
ings, and how they should 1^ con
ducted.
Sunday night at the Baptist
church there was a mass meeting
in which all the Sunday sehools
were represented. The auditorium
of the church was,full fef ^ople,
who gave close attention to ; Mr;
Carter and Mr.-Collins as they con-
tini^ tbe okbiM«f Sunday
school'work. .Both the speakers
wer6 thp^ughly familiar with the
great and, their appeals
were evangelistic in their nature.
Tl^e work of the last day of the
association began in the Presbyte
rian church at lO a. m. Monday.
After devotional.services the bus
iness ^ssion commenced. ,
Suggestion to have a press com
mittee composed of Sunday sohool
secretaries in the coun.ty,* reporting
the work in their schools to. the
county secretary,-who ^ould seek
to arrange for its publication week
by week that the Sunday school idea
may be kept before all of our people
and each sch()ol be helped by the
experience of all of the others.
At 10:15 the program was-taken
up, three addresses being given:
The Econoinic Value of the Sun
day Sohool,” by Robert L. Gush;
‘County Organization,” by J. M.
Hamlin, and “Sunday Scl;iool Mu
sic,” by M. JJ Orr. A paper on the
Home Department was read by Miss
Bettie Armfleld and voted to be so
very helpful that its publication in
the near future was requested.
There was a free discussion of the
possibility and helpfulness of hav
ing a local co-operative Bible class
to include something of the teacher
training land the organized class
idea^£ The subject was postponed
for further ^tion in the afternoon.
The afternoon session was opened
with prayer by Bev. C. S. Kirkpat
rick, after which a discussion of
‘*House to House Visitation’’ was
commenced by Miss MargaretBreese
who was followed by several others.
At its close the following resolution

HILL FAMILY BEUNtON
On October 15 there was held a
reunion of the S. W. BKll family at
the home‘of Mrs. S. F. 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. C.; Mr.
and Mrs. iSTath McKinney of near
Highlands; Mr. and Mrs. Jesse
Robinson of Lawrenceburg, Tenn.,
Mrs. Robinson being a grand
daughter ; Mrs. J. A. McGuire of
Xjake Toxaway and her two chil-<
dren; Mrs. Nannie McCarson of
Hendersonville; ' Willie McGuire
and Mrs. R. W. Norton of Brevard.
There were several grandchildren
who could not be nere who would
have added much to our en joyment.
According to arrangements our
next meeting will be with Mr. and
Mrs. i W. W. Bearden of Oakway,
S. C. Mrs. Bearden is a grand
daughter.,' ' S. F. N.

grounds to out the links.
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. Gillespie
of Brevard, and he v^ill have a
forcfe Of'’IftcJtt' att work on the job
within the. ni&xt week or Thiii
contract amounts in roun^ figures
Especially is the kitchen and all
the departments of the Inn devoted
to cooking to be done over and Im^^
proved. An improved baking
plant will be installed, the kitchen
have tiie floors, and walls
are to be enamel^, electri^c^oking
importanj^ .^i»piwen^nt&^5^
the property since the
Toxaway looking over the property
and planning the ‘many improve
ments to be made. 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. An English
expert was recently over the
erment Association, presided

Silt Days Yet' :
made as &6dera'{^ jwssJSiSI’'*'*"
The laundry building which was
burned neafly at the ei^ of the
past~ season will be rebuilt and
modern machin^y installed. The
entire plant vnll be«operated by
electricity.
Along the road which is to en
circle the lake there is to be built
a number of cottars for the bene
fit of those who will prefer their
own privates homes to staying at
the hotel. Also it is understood
that a limited number of lots on
the lake front will be sold to desir^
able people who may wlsA to eract
summer homes.
Altoge^er ^methlng like, two
hundred thousand dollars will be
expended on the property in the
immediate future. The most of
this will be spent with the people
of this county, for where practica
ble homefolks will be given the
preference in performing the nec
essary work.
Theite is no doubt but that next
season the string of hotels on the
property—^Toxaway Inn, Fairfield
Inn and Sapphire Inn—will all be
up^der the management of experi
enced hotel people who will be able
to iraintain the standard of hotel
demanded by the tourists who an
nually visit the country. It is ru-
Qiored that an electric car service
will be installed to connect Toxa-
way with Fairfield, but nothing
de^ite in this connection has yet
been annonnced'.
MISSIONARY JUBILEE
The second Sunday in November
'Will be observed as Missionary Ju
bilee Day by the women of the va
rious churches of Brevard. There
will be two services on that day at
the Methodist church. At the mom-
