GLADE VALLEY
HIGH SCHOOL
HISTORY OF A WORTHY
NORTH CAROLINA EDUCA-
T I O N A L INSTITUTION
LOOKING TO FUTURE WITH
CONFIDENCE AND HOPE.
The Glade Valley High School
holds a unique place in the edu
cational system of Western North
Carolina. Established in Jan., 1910
as the first high school in this
county, it held out to many of the
boys in this section an opportun
ity for a higher education that
would have been otherwise denied
them.
Thoughful and influential cit
izens who know something of the
service that this school has ren
dered to Alleghany and surround
ing counties appreciate this ser
vice.
Glade Valley has been called a
preparatory school as it makes a
special effort to prepare its stu
dents for college. So far as the
faculty knows, only one of its
students has ever failed to make
good in college.
One of the most practical things
taught at Glade Valley is the
course in Domestic Art, other
wise known as the sewing class.
Here the girls familiarize them
selves with the different mater
ials used in dressmaking. They
study the materials from which
these goods are made; the meth
ods used in their manufacture;
their wearing qualities whether
washable or not. Later in the
course, dressmaking is taught, an
these girls learn to make their
own dresses a valuable attain
ment for later life.
Another subject that is taught
at this school, highly valued by
many students and of inestimable
value to all, is the course in Bi
ble.
A two-year standard course 's
taught beginning with biograph
ical studies of the great men of
Bible times Moses, Joshua, Jo
seph, David, Saul, Jonathan, and
other important characters in the
history of the Old Testament.
Valuable reference works by em
inent Bible scholars are available
for research work of the students.
The course for tenth and 11th
grades is from the life of Christ
and the history of the early
Christian Church.
A library of over two thou
sand volumes is maintained with
additional books added each year.
Six sets of encyclopaedias and
over a hundred reference work",
on history comprise a pail of thi.:

HOUNDS BEING "IN AT THEj

I i
BETWEEN THE LORDLY I
FOX HOUND AND THE UN-!
ARISTOCRATIC RABBIT DOG.
! A pre-Christmas race between
' a gray fox and 19 hounds fur
nished a goodly area of Stokes
' | county with a spectacular and'
musical treat on Saturday and)
I I Sunday before Christmas, to-wit |
I December 23 and 24.
1 I
The fox was caught near the!
county home Sunday morning.
The race had begun on Saturday
evening, 9 P. M.
The hunters were Bill Simmons,
t ' Sam Lawrence, Dolf Hill and W.
! E. Collins, all of Westfield and
. | Francisco, Quaker Gap township.
• j "In at the death" were the dogs
; of Hill, Collins and Simmons.
; A fox race is a most inspiring
event to those who love the hunt.
To hear the pack open in full
i cry, the resonant voice of each
I hound distinctly heard by its mas
ter, to listen to the enthusiastic
! shouts of the hunters urging on
' old "Lead," "Drum," "Rock," and
r
! other canines, affords a kick of
i■
| major proportions, we are told.
| A fox hound is superior to all
other curs, being of a sort of aris
tocratic strain as compared with
other dogs.
A fox hound who will allow
himself to be deflected from the
, noble quarry afoot to chase after
1 a rabbit, is immediately separated
i from !ho pack and punished by its
! master, as such diversion is con
sidered degrading, and unbeeom
j ing the prestige and dignity of a
j fox hound.
Also a hound who will tarry in
I the course of a hot race to scratch
11 .
• its fleas, or perform other neces-
sary incidents of dog comfort, is
!. once isolated by its irate own
"r who uses a stick or heavy sour
wood brush to convince his canine
that time is the essence of a fox
race, and there must be no dilly
dallying.
i
W. E. Collins owns two hound?
t
which he considers more valuable
. than many people's cows or mules,
and it would take good money of
respectable dimensions to induce
1
j him to part with either of them.

Administration became operative
( was nearly 10,000 less than at the

, Administrator, show that there
, were 51,131 families receiving re-
I lief at the end of October and 43,-
. 138 receiving relief at the end or
November.
The number of relief cases nat
l urally increases during this period
of the year. However, since the
( C. W. A. projects were begun
throughout the State, hundreds of
families are being taken off relief
. rolls each week. Indications are
that the number of families on di
rect relief will continue to de
> crease throughout the Winter
. months, during which thousands
of men are being given employ
ment on C. W. A. jobs.

DIRECTOR OF RELIEF IX '

HELP ADDED THIS WEEK
—CENTRAL COMMITTEE AP
POINTED DOCTORS IN
MEETING TODAV.
: I
New and additional help is be
ing added to the Danbury C. W.
A. office this week, in the per
sons of Miss Sara Williamson of
Pine Hall, Miss Martha Powell of;
Walnut Cove.
1 Last night the advisory board
met at Walnut Cove and named
a central committee as follows: I
'
| J. A. Joyce, of Sandy Ridge.
J. R. Forrest, of Francisco.
Sheriff J. J. Taylor of Danbury.
Miss Laura Ellington of Sandv
Ridge.
E. F. Stone of Pinnacle.
Hobart Browder, of Germanton.
R. T. Spencer, of Lawsonville.
Thomas Preston, of Pine Hall.
' C. E. Davis, of Walnut Cove.
I '
This committee will assist the
Director in passing on applica-1
tions for relief.
J Today at 4:30 the doctors of'
the county meet in executive sess
ion with Director of Relief Mrs.
, Doyle.
The physicians are called into
- consultation with reference to
. medical relief under the auspices
i of the C. W. A.
Mrs. Minnie Glidewell Doyle, 1
who is Director of Federal relief!
i in Stokes county, is one busy wo-|
j man. Mrs. Doyle is a daughter of j
: the late Rev. C. W. Glidewell of
i Rockingham county, and this ex
. plains her capacity for hard work
, and administrative ability. Her
1 father was a man of very strong
t convictions in the matter of pub
? lie duty and patriotism. Long a
. head of the movements for relief
j of the farmers, Mr. Glidewell was
. | well known and highly respected
,! for his unselfish efforts toward
- organizations in the interest of
r the farmers.
,! Mr. Glidewell's personality is re
flected in his energetic and talent -
1 ed daughter whom Mrs. O'Berry,
r state manager of the C.W.A., has
I entrusted with the great federal |
! organization's activities in the 1
county.
Those of us who have always
j' thought that women ought to
a function only in the minor affairs
j of life, are prone to be disillusion
ed when we behold Mrs. Perkins
i. at Washington, Mrs. O'Rerry at
I. Raleigh, Miss Austin at Greens
boro and Mrs. Doyle at Danbury.
f Mrs. Doyle's office is now a
j srenc of the busiest activity, \vi:h
. keeping track of il>e various work
projects in the county row rv-
I Joying hundreds of hands »•.(!>
i crusriliatii :is. chocking i;;> re'w
s nakin-r out payrolls, filing rocord
.1 and data, correspondence with
e ho State and federal mir.iinistra
i tions of relief, and all that sort
- of thing. When it is casually noted
. that the office is now paying out
f, j more than $ 3,800.00 per week fo~
r , relief in Stokes, some idea of the
v importance of the work may bj
, guessed at.
