The county teachers in regular monthly session last Saturday decid ed not to have the parade that had been planned for fear that many of the children would be kept out of the parade on account of smallpox scare, thereby preventing the excellent showing that they had hoped to make. In order that every feature of the county commencement may be thor oughly understood by the teachers and pupils of Henderson county the OUTLINE BIG CAMPAIGN JO BEGIN MONDAY Having gone far over the top in the Third Liberty Loan (thus finish ing up one item in the big job of pushing Kaiser Bill back over on his own side of the Rhine where lie prop erly belongs) Henderson county and Hendersonville have taken hardly a breath before tackling the next item on the list, the task of bearing the town and county's share of the bur den .in the second War Fund drive of the American .Red Cross. As guests of Jxhn Wooten, owner of Kentucky Home, a party .of men and women from every section of the county met Saturday for luncheon at the big hotel on Fourth avenue for a discus sion of plans to .make sure that our home town and county shall not be slackers in the work of mercy which confronts the nation. The'luncheon was presided over by Michael Schenck, Esq., chairman of the campaign. During the course of the luncheon, however, very little "pressing" was necessary, as Mr. Wooten had made it very certain that the delegates had other things than speeches to occupy their attention. A recent number of The Gas Attack, the soldiers' paper at Camp Wads worth, happily describes Kentucky Home as "The only hotel in the .known world where a fellow can get enough chicken," and the description was heartily endorsed by every guest. After the luncheon the .guests ad journed to the hotel parlor, where business matters were taken up in earnest. The scope and plan of the campaign were outlined by . Mr. Schenck, who then called on J. C. Sales, of Fletcher, who pleaded ear nestly and impressively for the co operation of the delegates in the work, and pledged his own services to I vthe limit. Short talks by C. F. Bland and Noah Hollowell carried valuable j suggestions for the campaign, and addresses by Dr. A. C. Tebeau and C. N. Wrenshall would doubtless have been equally inspiring except for the fact that these gentlemen were overcome by bashfulness and declined o address. Dr. E. E. Bomar, pastor f the First Baptist church, and re cently of-Owensboro, Ky,, where he waa an active member of the Daviess county chapter, gave, an encouraging promise of hearty team-work, and executive committee submits the en- tire program as follows: The seventh grade examinations will be given on May 17 and 18 be ginning at 10 o'clock a. m., sharp, in the Hendersonville graded school. Each teacher who has pupils to take the examination is requested to send to the county superintendent a mem orandum of each pupil showing the name and address and the average term marks on each subject to be cov ered by the examination. This record is absolutely necessary since the term standing, is to count two points and the examination one point to ward the pupils promotion. The pass ing mark of a subject is 70. "The examination will cover the work designated by the State outlin ed, course of study in the following subjects: Arithmetic, history of our republic,. geography, spelling, English and physiology. In order to receive the diploma, passing grades must be obtained upon at least five of the six subjects. The pupils will be allowed to use either pen or pencil in writing their answers. No papers or books are to be carried to the examination (CONTINUED ON PAGE 2.) then closed the more formal session complishment of the task before the delegates. Mr. Schenck then stated that every penny of expenses for the campaign in this county had already been "un derwritten" by business men of Hen- derson county, and that absolutely every penny contributed to the sec ond war fund would be applied di Tectly to war relief, thus meeting in advance an objection which is some times made, that the expenses of such campaigns consume too large a part of the funds. After making this point clear Mr. Schenck then called upon all the delegates present, in turn, to state as well as they could the condi tions in their respective districts, and the prospects for success in raising the amounts allotted to the different auxiliaries and branches. The re sponse was hearty and encouraging in the extreme, many of the organi zations reporting considerable funds already available in case of need, and nearly all stating that in the absence of unforeseen difficulties their organi zations would follow the prevailing fashion in Henderson county, and go t well over the top with any task that was set them to aid the boys in France. Another meeting will in all prob ability be called before next Monday, when the actual work of the cam paign starts, after which it will be a case of "go to it," with a practically sure prospect of showing again that this section of the U. S. A. is able and willing to bear a full share of this work; a work that perhaps comes closer to one's heart than any other of war's many activities. A list of those attending the luncheon follows: Mrs. L. P. Carter, Fruitland chap ter. . Mrs. M. T. Sadler, Blue Ridge school. Miss Dorothy Mallett, Bowman's Bluff. Mrs. L. E. Davenport, Horse Shoe. Mrs. John Perry, Jr., Flat Rock. Miss Carrie Freeman, Bat Cave. Mrs. P. S. Moore, Barnwell Church. Miss M. R. Sampson, Fassifern. Mrs. J. F. Brooks, First Baptist Church Unit. Miss Walker, East Flat Rock, Mrs. Walter Burge, Naples. Mrs. W. R. Kirk, Hendersonville. Michael Schenck, Esq., Henderson ville. Rev. E. Bomar, Hendersonville. Dr. A. C. Tebeau, Hendersonville. J. a Sales, Fletcher. C. F. Bland, Hendersonville. Noah Hollowell, Hendersonville. C. N. Wrenshall, Hendersonville. The Hustler last week carried the call of John T. Staton, chairman of the Board of County Commissioners, asking that the people of the county meet at the court house next Satur day at 11 o'clock for the purpose of organizing for a fair next fall. The call requests all classes of peo ple to attend, men, women and chil dren fir it will take team work to make a good fair. As to the importance of & county fair, something in which Henderson county is a long ways behind what it should be, the following from the Progressive Farmer will be of inter est: There comes a time in the lives of men and women when they no longer go to school, using the term "school" as it is usually understood. But there never comes a time in the life of any person when he or she is too old to learn. Fairs in their true sense are "schools" for rural people of all ages in other words, an experience meeting or a common pooling of knowledge and experience about farm and home subjects. Therefore a farmer who attends a fair that has been worked out along right lines cannot help but be benefitted. As an educational agent, we be lieve the community fair is now rath er more. effective. than the county fair It is- tru tha JState and county fairs may show better arrangement of exhibits and even livestock and produce of better qual ity. But at many of these larger fairs there is so much to see and the amusement and recreative features have been emphasized at the expense of educational features. The com munity fair, on the other hand, has fewer exhibits; there are no side shows to distract one's attention; and the points of merit and demerit of each exhibit are explained by the judges so that the. fair becomes a thing of real educational worth. Moreover, a farmer who has attend ed a Community fair for several years will be in a position to get more out of a State and county fair, equipped ; as he will be with his knowledge of what constitutes quality in exhibits. Perhaps the greatest defect of State and county fairs is that as a rule no explanation is given as to why awards are made. If a compe- tent man were placed in every de-) partment to explain the points of ex-1 cellence of the prize-winning exhibit in iat department, the benefits would be almost inestimable. DR. A. C. TEBEAU. Chairman of Local Red Cross Society. NOTICE TO READERS.

On next Sunday morning the bac calaureate sermon will be preached at the First Baptist church.- at 11 o'clock by the Rev. P. H. Mears, of Asheville. It is understood that th most of the other churches will joir in these services. On next Tuesday night the grad uating exercises will be held. No commencement address will be made. On Thursday night of next week the school will render a play entitled "The American Flag." It will abound in patriotism, humor and wit, and the proceeds will go to the Red Cross. On Friday of next week the public school will participate in the county com mencement exercises. A part of the school work of the past year will be . demonstrated. "The exhibits will con sist of work done in school during the year; and the faculty is anxious for the patrons to inspect the work which, will be displayed vrith piktrbt Vtfier sch)blsneounty. The exhibits will be on display at the court house. The graduating exercises will be rendered on "Tuesday night of next week at the city hall and the parts to be taken by the graduates will be as follows: Valedictorian, Miss Vada B. Orr. .

Other ! graduates are: James Duff, Misses I Sarah Ladson and Sara Steedman. The diplomas will also be presented. The school has- done a very satis factory year's, work. Superintendent G. W. Bradshaw has from month to montn reviewed in Ihe newspapers work accomplished, giving statis- ucs on aenaance, punctuality, etc., and pointing out the bad parts as well as the good, thereby giving the patrons a very comprehensive idea of the work. People who are in a position to judge the work have expressed grati fication for what has been accom plished and they naturally feel proud of the fact that efficient and well trained teachers have been devoted to the work in hand and have dis charged their duties faithfully in the face of inducements in the way of offers of much larger salaries. Contracts have nof been entered into for the coming year's work and it is feared that the school will suffer the loss of some of its teachers by reason of the very small salaries they receive for their work when other lines of endeavor offer more attractive-pay. -' .' The declamation contest will be at 8 :30 o'clock at the city hall on Thurs day night of this week, when one of the contestants will be selected for the county commencement contest.
