At a meeting of f the Trustees of Sylva Collegiate Institute, in Slva, Monday.it was decided to make many improvements in the build ings of that institution this summer and the following committee was appointed to look after the building work: F. A. Brown, Chairman, A. J. Dills, Secretary, and Prof.; J. C. In gram. The present boys' dormitory will be used for the girls and the girls' building for the boys. Both buildings will be- greatly enlarged i and made much more attractive and convenient. The boys' dormi tory will have a number of addition al rooms, will be veneered with brick and a colonial porch with a two-story addition will be construct ed. Six new rooms will be built to the girls' dormitory, as well as a large dining hall and kitchen. Both buildings will be fitted with new bathrooms and other conveniences. The school was crowded to its capacity last session, and it was apparent to te trustees that if the school is to progress and become a still greater and more useful insti tution it is imperative that the C. C. Cowan. J. B. Ensley and J. C. Ingram were appointed a committee to have the school1 building over, hauled, the walls caleimined and other, work done to fit it far the coming session. The work on all the buildings will be underway in the next few days and will be rushed to completion so as to have the new plant complete at tne time of tht opening of the fall session of the schopl. The school building proper will pot be enlarged.untiLnext sum-msr. L,ooKmg to tne future when it will 1 be necessary to erect other i - 1 i . . - ounaings, a committee was appoint ed to negotiate for additional prop erty! for the school from private owners of real estate on the hill. Dr. A. E. Brown, Superintendent of the Mountain School System of the Home Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Convention, was present at the meeting and express ei himself as being very muc! pleased with the work-the school has has done in the past and af looking forward to a greaCfutun for the institution. . The Syl va Collegiate Institute has been a power for good in this, com munity and section in the past,-and with the plans that the Principal ana Trustees have on foot for its enlargement, the people of Sylva are confident that its force and use fulness are just in their infancy. $1.50 THE,-YEAR IN ADVANCE Tnlin lTr,?"?rs- Inez athey Grindstaff and Julian (rr ftkfliv i ju . - . bouth, .bylva, June 22. , Opening Song, Home of the Soul ; ; fh .
