A WORD ABOUT THE WINTKHV1LU3 II. i Wintervllle, N. C., May 30th , The Thirteenth Kesaiou of the 'Wintervllle lligh School wa ' one of the best in its history, cer tainly in poini oi aiienuaucc uu uplrit. Indeed the entire history of the institution hat been a mar vel of Buccesa. At no time has it reported a debt for curreut expense, but to the contrary ban often had o little balance to its credit to' help make needed re pairs and improvements. This is a source of gratification to all concerned, even though it is by . no means the purpose of the x 1 school to be a money-making eu- ( terrorise, a 4 ' :' ' . : The first motive of the school has ever been to give a high stan dard of culture at minimum cost ' under the very best of Christian influences. Coupled with this desire, it was to be a power-house - for Kingdom building. . That it has magnified these ideals is evi- . denced in the product of stalwart men and women whose christian ' character, and service auorn m ' many homes in eastern North Car olina. It is no longer an exper . ment in the history of the church but has come to be regarded as a 7 real necessity. Some almost radical changes have been made have been made in , the organization of the school, this being the natural outgrowth . 'of the advancing work of the in . ttitution. The Primary Depart- - ment was eliminated oecause no ' - satisfactory arrangements could . be made for caring for it, and be ; cause it was a real financial bur v den that we did not feel justified - iu carrying. To have continued . it for even another year would have required the expense of a new building in which to conduct it. There was ho available means of making this provision. It has ; long been a growing conviction that it was not a part of the mo- tive of the Associations! school to do this work. We feel sure tnat we have added to the advantages . of the high school work by cutting it out. We gratefully acknowledge the faithful and efficient service ren dered by the entire faculty of the school throughout the year. We v regjret that we were! not able to eep them every one, and all would doubtless have been re-elected - had . we not been assured j; i " . . il . - . - m 1 m ai or tne ournose or some oi mem not to teach during the coming year, Our best wishes attend . them wherever they may go, and we must' heartily give them our endorsement. They were faithful and satisfactory in every. way. .' One feature of the reorganiza tion of the'work was the creation of the office of Superintendent of the school . Prof. John It . Carroll was elected to this place and charged with the responsi- bility of the new office entailed. Professor Nye was continued in the office of principal of the school which place he has held for sev eral years and won the esteem and favor of all connected1 with , the institution. Messrs. Carroll and Nye are yoke-fellows .and will af 1 ford an array of talent and pow er in the conduct of the school which will lift it to the pinacle , of high class service and ever hold it there. ,. Miss Mary Steele, a full grad uate of Meredith College, will fill a place in the high school de partment. Mrs. W. J. Wyatt, , of the,Ktate Normal College, will again have the seventh grade. v Miss Evye Street, of. Oxford Col lege, will have the sixth grade , and will be lady principal in the Girl's home. Miss Ruth Cook, full graduate of, Meredith, will he director of music, and Miss - Loifise Carroll, of Meredith will ; also be in the music department. ,' At greatly added expense, the ..trustees have exerted themselves X to seen re the best teaching talent to be found. We believe we shall ' lie sustained in this by the pa trons and friends of the school. The elimination of the rrimary " (irades in some measure relieves the congested state of the school. m v o Academy building will further help the crowded condition. This relief, with the great faculty we v boarding facilities of the school, , its health rec6rd and outlying his tory of training power, as evi denced in the character of the men and women it has given to . the world, ought to crowd its ca - parity with- .students another year.. 'We earnestly hope for a Central (Brick) Administration Building in the near future. (Signed) C. W. Blanchard, I . For the Trustees KEEPING! TIIE KITCHEN 8. COOL All summer long the average kitchen is like a furnace. Kitchen work is hard enough at best, with out adding to it the sweltering heat of a hot range. No woman can work long in a hot kitchen on a hot day without actually suf fering. Until very recent years nothing was done ' to keep the kitchen even reasonably cool dur ing hot weather', pas stoves help ed a little, but they can be used only in the cities where gas mains are available. Kerosene stoves are used somewhat in the coun try; but they are ; more or less dangerous, and the old fashioned coal and wood ranges are still in general use throughout the country: The first step iu making the kit chen cooler Is to arrange the room so that the work can be 'done with as few steps and little etTort as iHssible. Stove, sine, and pan try should be located so that no labor is lost, no steps wasted. This in itself will save energy and help to keep the kitchen cooler. The fires should not burn longer than necessary. Every de vice to save the heat from the range should be employed. Dou ble boilers should be used whenev er possible, the eutire cookiug, or as much as convenient, should be done at -once and not strung out any longer .than necessary. As soon' as the cooking' is accom plished the fire should be banked until the next meal.' Banking tuo fire not only helps to keep the kitchen cool but it saves fuel. The kitchen windows should be kept open, but they must be close tor screened to keep out the flies which are always attracted by the odor of food in preparation. In order to further keep the flies out the dishes should be washed at once and never left standing1 around. All food should be put away in the refrigerator or in stone jars as soon as possible. The room should be kept darken ed when not in use. Flies hate the dark and will not stay in n darkened room. It is quite need less to add that the kitchen should always be kept bright and lean and free from odors. One of .t'ie most valuable ac quisitions to keep the kitchen cool is ventilating hood placed a bove the range. This type of hood has been extensively used over gas ranges to carry away the nox ious fumes froin the burning gas. If such a hood, made of sheet iron and piied to the chimney, is placed above the range At will carry away all the steam, smoke and . fumes of , cooking and with them will remove much of the heat w,hich otherwise keeps the room unbearably warm. For keeping the. kitkhen cool there is nothing quite so conven- ipiit as the electric, fan. A small eipf it-inch" fan, costing but a few dollars, will furnish enough breeze to keep an ordinary kitch en cool during the hottest days . Such a fan will operate at full speed'.for less than a quarter of a cent an hour; It requires' less current 'than an . ordinary incan descent lamp arid will ... last ' for years and years. The fan can be placed to blow the heat away from the work table,' or it can fastened to a wall bracket to force the hot air out of the room and thus replace it with cooler air. Almost every business office has its electric fan, even though the business man does not have to Work over a hot stove, and there is no reason why the home should be 'without this useful servant which commands the four winds. The fan can also be used in the dining room, .the sitting room or the bed room when It has served its purpose in the kitchen. Each fan is provided with a long flex ible cord whttch is readily con uected to any electric lamp sock et. 1 I Perhaps the easiest and best way to keep the kitchen cool is to do away with the Hi range ai together ; and use electricity ( for cooking purKses during tne sum nier months. The electric range has been perfected , until it ; is quite possible to do all the cook ing over the invisible fires of electnicity without any heat being wasted by radiating out into the room . A large dinner can lie eas ily and quicklyprepared on the modern electric 'range without ov erheating the' kitchen. There is no heat until the switch Is turned then the heat is generated right where', It is required. Very lit tle of iit is wasted by radiation. The heat can be regulated to any desired degree ud can be instant ly turned oft. Where the electric range is not used breakfast and lunch can lie easily prepared with a few simple electric cooking de vices, such as the electric frying pan, the cereal cooker and tne electric coffee pot. A small elec trie disk stove is also made whicn is amply large enough to cook, a light meal for a small family. It is not to lie denied that the elec tric flatiron has done more to keep the kitchen cool in hot weath er than any other thing. ' With the electric iron it is possible to do the ironing out on the back stoop without any fire whatever. The iron is simply connected to the electric light .socket with a long cord and it keeps the iron at just the right temperature until the ironing is 'finished i . orfo t .Southern Railroad - CBAXQE IX TEE JCnEDULE OF THE NORFOLK SOUTHERN Schedule in efrect April 27th 1913., , i . ,,v ..
