Fassifern closes its third school term in Hendersonvile. The school was moved here from Lincolnton in the fall of 1914. Over a hundred stu dnts were enrolled during the 1916-17 session. The final concert was given by the piano students, May 25th. Each num ber and several duos were performed so well that space will not permit taking up each number separately; but any conservatory of music might justlv feel proud of the piano recitals of the Fassifern girls. There were no false notes, no hesitating touch, and the freedom and ease of action and self-confidence showed that Miss Pixley's pupils are thoroughly at homp. at the piano, Monday, June 4th. was class day, the program being as follows: School Song Class.

The report now ready off exs a long list o farguments showing the ad vantages of working put a compensa tion system before American, lives are lost in th war. ' . The plans, as prepared, provide for a flat insurande 'of $4,000 on the lifp. Of every officer and .private in the s military and naval service, to be paid to his beneficiaries without premium. A Government insurance -bureau would handle the whole subject, and there would be provision for a system oMnsurarice by which officers and men desiring to "do" so. could take out amounts higher than the $4,000 - free policy by paying premiums at peace fates. . The plan would provide also insur ance for partial or total disability, jn case of death the insurance would be paid in installments, whose amount would be determined by a Government board. ' , Government officials are" convinced the best way to dispose of the pension problem is to meet ' it before hand The hitsory of the pension system since the Civil War has shown manv abuses which it is hoped to avoid by providing insurance before men are killed. . . . ilS OF m IS CITY 1 .

The registration throu.itout the county amounting to 192 young men between the ages o f twenty one and thirty one, is thought by many to be a large registration considering the pop ulation of the county.
