NO. 30 CJTY SCHOOL Ti OPEN SEPT. 2 Sapt- Bradsnaw Announces Faculty and Comments on Outlook for Good School Tear. (By Supt. G. W. Bradshaw) As has been previously announces, tiie schools of the city of Henderson ville will open for the current year on Monday, September 2nd. The faculty has been completed arid all plans and details for beginning work are r.earing completion. And it appears that the chance for the pupils to do excellent work In their studies are better for the com ing year than ever "before. The teachers in the grades have been chosen in every case because of their special fitness to do the work they are 10 undertake. All have had col lege training and one or more years of exeprieiice in teaching. The teachers for the primary and grammar grade department are as follows : Miss Lois Edwards, Miss Anna Crowder, Mrs. Ethel Patterson, Miss Annie Scruggs, Miss Lalla Wynne, Miss Gussie Dotson, Miss Katie Price. Miss Alma Freeman and Miss Rosa Edwards. The teachers for the high school aft hold college diplomas, and, like th grade teachers, have been chosen be cause of their special preparation and fitness for the department in whicn they will work. They are, according to their departments, as follows: Miss Bessie Steedman, Principal, teacher of Latin and French. Miss Bessie Jordan, teacher ot Mathematics and Science. Miss Eilene Lewis, teacher of Do mestic Science and Chemistry. Miss Margaret Bomar, teacher of History. Miss Ellen Retford teacher of Eng lish and Science. The high school is now on the State of North Carolina's accredited list of schools and, therefore, must do a standard grade of work. Ample pro ,vision has been made, too, by the Board of Trustees,' for this to be done. And since promotions are .now on the unit basis, pupils will have a better chance to choose the subjects in the high school that seemingly will best fit them for the course they wish to pursue in college or for the profes sion in after life. A double course of study has been adopted which will al low pupils to take either a four year coarse in Latin, or a course covering two years of science and two years of French. Either of the two courses vrill lead towards graduation, sixteen full units being required or every pu pil before a diploma is granted. The the minimum number of uites in other sr.incts v-ni be required for gradua tion as outlined by the State Asso ciation and the Southern Association of accredited high schools. No doubt there will be this year, as in previous years, a number of pu pils who for one reason or another were not regularly promoted last spring or who will ask for higher standing than their cards call for. All jmpils win be classified according to their card recommendations, or spe cial examinations will be given to Ahose presenting certification cards from some certified teacher stating that such pupils have studied regu larly and systematically during the summer. Xo recommedations will be accepted from other than regular cer tified teachers.

The entertainment at Parsonsfield, on August 13, for the benefit of the Red Cross was one of the most beau tiful and sucessful ever given in this section. The grounds were illumninated with innumerable brilliant lights; the whole scene being that of a veritable fairyland. The tableaux, as arranged by a special artist, were truly artis . tic. They represented France, Italy, Belgium mother, Joan of Arc, Ameri ca and Spirit of the Red, Cross. These were staged out of doors, the stately trees and fine shrubs forming a wonderful setting. The dancing on the terrace was the very poetry of motion, delightful ! music was furnished by a splendid band from Camp Wadsworth. Mrs. LilaTRhett led the dancing as queen of j the fairies. From the shadowy depth of the shrubbery appeared MissRouan as she was called by the queen, and she in turn called Miss Clelia Mathews and the Misses Durant. All were in exquisite fairy costume and danced in bare feet. Their per formance met with well merited ap plause. , More than two hundred cars were along, the driisesJ jeading; toHParson field3 'besides numbers of carriages and other vehicles. .

About French Broad - Hustler, relinguishing that position three months-ago to" ac cept the advertising managership of the Asheville Times, left for Knox ville Monday to accept a position In the advertising department of the Jourrial and Tribune. Mr. Garlington's long experience with The Hustler stood him in good stead and developed his taste partlc- ularly for the advertising field. In or der to receive further training along this line than could be had with The Hustler, he accepted a nattering of fer from the Aslieville Times. His real wdrth in this field made itself known in Knoxville, where he was called, at his surpsie, by telegram, and without his application, for a conference as to work with the Jour nal and Tribune. The offer was suffi cinetly attractive to induce him to give up his work in Asheville. Mr. Garlington has a particular fondness for the advertising feature of newspaper work and his training in Knoxville will doubtless serve as a preparation for more flattering posi tions. MRS.
