REYNOLDS SPEAKS
TO TEACHERS
Prof. A. C. Reynolds, superintend
; ent f education of Buncombe coun
ty, speaking bcl'ore the county-wide
i meeting of -teachers at Sylva, on
i last Saturday, declared that the only
j way that the educators can put n
I stop to the criticism that is being j
j directed against the schools, is for j
the teachers to form a close contact1
| with the patrons of the schools, the
people who pay the taxes, andi Con
vince them that the schools ar<i not
the teachers' schools; but that they j
are the -people's schools, that the |
j teachera are doing a good job of;
their work, and that tho tax payers
are getting value received for the
money invested.
"-If yon, as teachers, aren't wil
ling to prepare for your daily task
j in the school room, so that you will
' get pleasure amj inspiration from
teaching the boys, and girls, it is
j time for you to hand in your resig-,
! nation '.r, said Mr. Tteynolds.
The speaker paid high compliment.
I to the character of teachers employ
ed in Jackson county.
It was decided to hold the next
meeting of the Jackson county edu-j
eational society some time next sum
mer, oi< early in the l'all, when all
the schools of the county are in scs-j
sion; and the membership fee in the;
association was changed from 101
a month to 1 per cent of the first:
month 's salary.
The present officers, J. D. Parker,!
Jr., president, Mrs. Ruth A. Morris,
secretary, and M. B. Madison, trcas-,
urcr, were continued in office until!
the meeting; next) ? summer.
Following the session at the Sylva I
graded school building, a luncheon,!
prepared by the Sylva Parent-Teach
er Association, was served in the
(
dining room of the Mothodist church,
at which W. Carr Hooper, n.k? radio;
announcer, over station JNW, pre
sided. A number of interesting, and
clever stunts were presented by
teachers from various "schools of the
fjmrrty. Superintendent J. N. Wilsorf'
presented the Hon. Welch Galloway,
who entertained and delighted the

"Drummer Boy," ; "Alabama

enth grade of thd Sylva School.
Recorder Geo. W. Sutton, in Record
er's court, Monday morning.
Woodrow Smathers and Roy
Brooks were indicted on a charge of j
an affray. After hearing only a

cause for an indictment of the more
serious charge of felonious assault \
with deadly weapons, and ordered |
