This week we had the pleasure of making a tour at inspection of Western Carolina Teachers College's new building, along with Astistant Director of the Budget Deyton. Mr. Deyton carte by our office ?kS ssked us to accompany him on the I'rip, which included a delightful dinner at the home of President H. I, T. Hunter. The buildings are now J . ^ wo pnmnleted. and Western I TibOUl ^ _ Carolina will emerge as a real col-[J ]ege. Already bookings have been I! made for all available space in the I dormitories, including th$ new boys' | * dormitory, and the college will be IS unable to accommodate all the ap- IX ' plicants for rooms. , M Mr. Deyton stated that the budget 1? bureau is making available funds to 18 assure the college meeting all requirements as an accredited college I by both the South Association of 15 Colleges and the American Associa- I tion of Teachers Colleges. However, he is fearful that the closing of the* / ? * Is Ir.baccO' markets in pastern Carolina by reason of the withdrawal I of the British buyers because of the I war, may have a* depressing effect |S upon the revenues of the State. If I the tobacco in eastern North Caro| lina cannot be marketed at a reaI sonaby good price, the lack of funds t f amoung the people down there will I bo reflected in the sales tax collec- . I J] | tions. Q I The new training school will b* T I one of the most modern school build- . ( ir.gs in the State. It seems that it would be a joy to either teach or | ^ attend school in such a building, that I I has been designed and constructed J ^ I to anticipate every need and conven- I I ier.ce of teachers and scholars. .

General Pershing in a statement lrged that the Army be brought to ull peace time strength and efficiency, in anticipation of any eventuality, in order that there may be 10 danger of this country being again caught in the state of utter unpreia redness, as was the case in 1917. In all events, the President must lave considered the situation a grave >ne, or he would have never sum- , noned the Congress back to Washngton,< knowing the fierce attacks hat Mr. Borah and others would aunch against his administration policies.
