That hun dreds of thousands of dollars in trade is lost to Pacific Coast, Southern and Western points cannot be, denied. The question of arbitrary rates their injustice their effect in retarding the growth of the town becomes personal to every shipper in our midst. We might as well be plain in this matter. We must have an other outlet, another railroad for the vast output here. The citizen ship here is aggressive but there can be no rapid strides towards the greater expansion till we get a better outlet. No man will deny but that this is the psychological moment. It is now estimated by the manufacturers here who alone are bearing the brunt of arbitrary freight rates, that one third more business could be done here if they had a proper live, wide awake railroad service to complete fairly with the trade outside. o Local Briefs The annual excursion to At lantic City this year will be run on August 20.

MADAM ELDON Palmistry, phychometry, clair voyance andr Cystal Gazing is the talk of the town these days. Hun dreds have left her office with amazement, as well as highly pleased with the tiding she has brought them. Not one of her patrons has expressed disappoint ment or dissatisfaction, and large numbers of representative citizens have callerd on her as skeptics and left her as admirers of, as well as believers in her marvelous cow er. See advrtiesment elsewhere in this paper. For a Great Industrial School The school census of High Point shows that 1700 of the 3100 children of school age are not in our public schools. Why arc these boys and girls not in attendance? A large per cent of them are em ployed in the factories'!!! our city. Are our schools supplying them with proper equipment for their duties at this time? The question asked today of those seeking employment is not "Why are you " but, "What can you do?" Are our schools teach ing these boys and girls how to "do things?" It must be appar ingent to all business men that cnmntliiiKr is radically wrontr in 0 " ( our educational system that train ing which will best fit for life's duties these boys and girls who arp fnrrerl hv circumstances to J leave school before finishing the traded school, is lacking. Fully 90 per cent of our boys and girls never enter college and cannot avail themselves of its advantages. This is an age of progression a"d education must be progressive to fulfill its mission. If our curri culum and methods-are practically the same as those of fifty years ago have we progressed? If not then we should do so at once. There is but one way to do this and that is to have our present curriculum supplemented by a daily course of industrial training for the boys, and of domestic science cooking and serving for the girls, and have these courses compulsory. When we Jo this, we shall be doing our full duty. All of our Northern cities are making wonderful progress in this direction and find the demand for uch training, for young and old ilike, so great that night classes -ire organized to accommodate those who are otherwise employ ed during the day. There are many instances of father and son pursuing the same courses in in dustrial training. A skilled mechanic is produced with far less expense than a fine Latin scholar, and is in greater demand. The same boy can be come a skilled mechanic . and de mand $2.00 a day, just as easily and in the same length of time as he can secure the little education lie now gets and earns a $1.00 a day and more readily obtain work. It is due him and we ought lo give it to him. The same girl that leaves school and shortly be comes the wife of the bOy men tioned, should be fitted to do her part and is she? What does she know of the duties of a wife is she a good cook? Is she a good seamstress? Does she know any. thing of sanitation? Does she know how to judiciously expend the money earned by her husband ? Has she received the education she needs to fit her for her duties? Not in any way. We do not hes itate to vote bonds for street im provement when they are needed, or for railroads. Why not vote $50,000 worth of bonds and build a creditable building and equip it with the best modern appliances and the best instructors, and give the present School Board the ne cessary funds to carry out the shove plan? No better School Board could be found than the present one, and if the people will arouse themselves to the neces sity of such an industrial school, it can be carried out. v The Legislature will grant per mission, the Bonds can be voted and , sold, and a building erected on the High School ground in the Spring. Shall we do it? Always C heap Piano by the Method Used in Selling It. Pianos sold by Agents begging to place them in your home on trial or to save storage or forcing them in your home without your con sent. "Coupon Schemes," "Guess ing Schemes." "Club Schemes," "Special Sale Schemes," "Special Intro ductory Sales Schemes," etc., are fake methods, pure and simple, for unloading cheap pianos on people who don't realize the difference between a fine piano and a cheap one, and don't know that high grade pianos are not sold Ihrough fake schemes.
