VOLUME-XIX BREVARD, NORTH CAROLINA, FRIDAY. FEBRUARY 20. 1914. NUMBEH- 8 MEETING OF TEACHERS On Friday and Saturday ot last week the nienil)(>rs of the Transyl vania connty teachers’ association hold the lastmeetin" of thecnrrent school year. The place of meeting: was, as usual, at the Brevard gra ded school huildintr. Friday nirrnins tlie snow, which had boRun the night before, was still steadily falling, and the pros pects of a full meeting wert' un favorable. Never the less, a large l>ercentage of the teachers from the schools still in session re'oorted for duty. The oi>ening exorcises on Friday morning were conducted by Rev. K. H. Norwood. In the preparation of the ]>rogram the committee had conntcd on the presence of Mr. Sams, .supervisor of rural schools, and the usual discussions of sub jects by the teachers had been omitted. Mr. Sams, however, was unable to be ])resent, and thus a * A consideral)h' emi)ty space was left in the program. The day was saved by the arrival of Mr. A. C. R('ynolds, ])rindii>al of the Cullo- whec Normal and Industrial Insli- tute. Mr. Reynolds addressed the tcachcrs on the subjcct of “(growth." For an hour he held the attention of his hearers, giv ing them th»)ughts full of wisdom and ])ractical value. Mr. Reynolds is a man not only of wide experi ence as teacher and administrator, but h(* is full to overflowing witli love for school work, and \vithou+ any elVurt «>n his jtart he insi)ires others with some of his own en thusiasm. * During Friday's .«(>.ssion there WHS a meeting of the county bet- teinu'nt association, conducted by the President. Miss Georgia Bell ; a discussion of “Country Life and j the Country School,” one of the books of tin* reading conrsi*, 1)V Tdr. T.

( '. 1). ('Iiapman conducted , till! devotional exf'rcises on Satur- j day n'.orning. Tliis s(*ssion was de- j sigu(*d to be a joint meeting of teachers and (“ommitteemen, but; the nuiv.ber of tlu* latter was small on account, doubtless, of the win try \veat her. Those present were: Mr. (t. s. Tally of Blantyre, Mr. A. D. Lydiiv of Pt'nrose, Messrs. C. K. (.)sl)orne and E. (). Allison of Da- vidsoTi River. I^lr. .1. M. Zachary of Calvert, and 31r. W. H. Duckworth of Brevard. Several sul)j«‘cts were discussed in the joint inei'ting, but the one comnuinding the gn-atest interest was the subject of a uniform coun ty .s])ocial srhool tax of twenty-five cents on the hundred dollars for the pur[)ose of len«:thening and etjuali/ing tlu* school terms in the county. Superintendent Hender son said that he believed, with such a tax, evt'ry school in the county would be enabled to have an eight nionths se.‘-sion. He said that there was in the county prop erty amounting to a million dol lars on whieli no special tax w'as collected. }>lr. Reynolds was culled on to giv»* his views, and he did so with convincing power, At the close of his remarks a resolution was read to present a petition to the county board of (’ducation ask ing that stej)s be taken to hold an election on the special tax. The resolution was passed unanimously. At one o'clock the association ad journed. to meet again some time in August. Methodist Minister Recommends Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy. Rev. James A. Lewis, Milica, Minn., writes: “Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy has been a needed and welcome guest in our home for a number of years. I highly recom mend it to my fellows as being a medicine worthy of trial in cases of colds, coughs and croup.” Give Cliamberlain’s Cough Remedy a trial and we are confident you will find it very effectuial and continue to use it as occasion requires for years to come, as rpany others have done.

More time has been dovot('d to this play than to any one previously given by the school.

Practically the (inly ’ efforts that have been made have been the timi^ enough to get acquainted with ; laws in certain states the thought of the grt*at dramatist, and are working b.ard to get just the ])roper expression of that thought. The cast includes quite a number of students who were prohibiting the sale of cigarettes to minors. Other states prohibit minors from smoking cigarettes, while there is a nation-wide effort' to create a sentiment against their very highly complimented for their use.

The Anti-Oigari‘tte Lt'ague is also making an eff ort through the Young People’s Societies of the country to enlist young ])et)]>le in what is known as the “Million Club.” This club is an organization of young people who oi-ganize to abstain from the ust^ of cigarettes and liquors. An ingenious part of the scheme is the organization of cir cles of ten which circles are to as sist in extending the njcmbership of th(! league.

A number of cities in Indiana already have arranged for assistance from the league’s ofHcer^. At the same time the organization is assisting in enforcing the state law of Illinois in regard to smoking by minors, and in six weeks aft«r pro^cutions were brought it is said that cigarette sales of one chain of stores in the loop district of Chicago fell off ten per cent., which is the same as saying that sales decreased an average of 8,500 cigarettes a day.
