With Enrollment of 595; Attendance is Only 472; Strong Timely Appeal to Those Responsible; Good Music 'and business Departments. . , " . The fall term has closed, Christmas. vacation has passed, and the work of the city schools is progressing again in the regular routine way. From time to time during the fall term statistical reports, honor rolls, etc, appeared in the columns of th local papers, giving more or less in- formation concerning the progress of the schools and the work of the pu-: uils. And it seems not at all out of place here and now to iuan.G a. icn brief statements and to give a fpw figures about the term as a whole Thn PTivollmppt fnr tht, F-vaflf school during this period totals 595 and the daUy attendance has been 472 the attendance, of course, meaning that thprp h9vp hppti on nn nvorocro 472 pupils present every school day from the 4th of September to. the 21st of December. . This average attendance may strike one as being rather low when consid ered along with the enrollment, and so it is low. Several things as usual are responsible for this. There aie adways some pupils enrolled in every school at the beginning of the year who, on account of indifference, dro? out after only a very few days. There are others who drop out because they have to. Some have been kept out on account of measles, whooping cough, or some other contagious disease. All these things bring down the average. And it will be remembered,-too, that it has been almost'out of the question during the month of December and thus far in January, for many of the little fellows to go to school at all on account of the weather. The upper grades, however, have held up well. - But the great, questions after alUtn huv tools for ;the hi? ck smith lare: "arp the narenta of Hpndpfsnn-' ville doing their best; to keep their.t. children in schooi.and areh , t . ii a . - . children in schpolnd vare'the" dren then making the best of-the op- portunities that are , before them" Certainly we are "up against it" in many ways during these strenuous times, but we should be absolutely certain that indifference has no place with us when it comes to the consid eration of education, tor the present . demands of our country call ror an educated citizenship, and me luture, when trie world comes back to its own alter uis great conuict tuat is now going on .s over, will rua;:e even greater demands. And if trie U;bami girls oi today tor any reason let the oDuortunitVf sIid. men thev will be unprepared for the issues that may couuont ihem later, for as the adage has it, 'we pass tnis way but once." If tae census of the city of Hender sonville is correct, there are boys and girls within the sound of the school Lell who should by. all means be in school, but for some reasons are not there. Thetown has a public school which is supported by the town's money, and every child within the city limits ought to have his or her part of the training that the public schools, are supposed to give. There is no reason why the schools here should not be as good as any in the state of North Carolina, and the only, way to make them such is for every citizen of the town to stand for the school and for education, and then take ad vantage, for the children of the town, of every opportunity that the schools offer. Below is a list of the pupils whose names appear on the honor roll for the fall term, that is, of those pupils who have been on the honor roll every month: , First Grade B Jannette Crinkley, Pauline Lewis, William Bangs,, John Williams.

Various people have viewed most favorably this property with many, pos sibilities for high development but no . one undertook; the development until Messrs. ttwbank and Wrenshail decid ed to develop a portion of it into a de sirable residential section, and other parts into a high state of farm cultiva tion and pastures. - The estate includes about 100 acres of land under cultivation and among the best in the county. About .75 acres are within the city limits and a portion of this is capable of high development as a good residential section. ' ; The other part is excellent for farm pur poses when properly drained. While the purchasers have big things in mind, they will proceed gradually toward dividing a portion of it into, building lots and other parts for farm ing purposes.- It is estimated that' there are in the neighborhood of 30,000 cords of wood for which there is. a ready market. This will be taken 6ft in order to make the land tillable. The new owners propose to stocy. the farm and let the stock graze in the fine pas tures during the grazing, season and ' eed them in winter from feed produced on the farm, it being , their object to cultivate crops, that will promote the stock raising end of the enterprise. , .
