The session of. the school has been slightly lengthened in order to. give twelve days for class work and the plan of the program in operation for the last two years asanewhat altered in order to give more time to the class periods and te the devotional empha sis in the . school. .

Meyer is to he a fundamental study by one of the present-day leaders of thought in re ligious education and is designed es pecially for the preachers and mature laymen who are studying underlying principles involved. The course on! "Plans and Methods of Teacher- Train ing in the Local Sunday School," which is virtually a course on leadership, of- f ered by Dr. Barclay, should also prove very attractive to the preachers who are dealing first hand with the prob lems of training their own local lead ers. v..,;: ;.!..;-' Of Special Interest to Superintendents The two courses offered by Dr. Bar- clay are particularly suited to meet the needs of Sunday school superhv tendents. The one is o "Sunday School Organization tion," and tie other is elsewhere de scribed. ' : . Of Special Interest to Directors of Teacher-Training and Leaders of Training Clasees. ( Dr. Barclay's course on "Plans and Methods of Teajcher-Trafning" ' has been planned primarily with reference to meeting the needs of director!! of teacher-training and leaders, of train ing classes. The problem of training the leadership in the local school in all of its aspects needs to be thought out more fundamentally than it has been. Dr. Barclay's course ought to make a strong appeal to those who are dealing with this subject, and it is especially urged that directors of teacher-training and those teaching or planning to teach training classes take advantage of this 1 course. -..-.j Specialization Attractions. The story-telling course will be of fered this year by one of the most attractive and best known elementary specialists in America. .Slid, Daniel- son is known by reputation ana through her ' writings - throughout America. Dr. St. John, whoso course in story-telling last year was so pop ular, will this year offer the special ization course in intermediate-senior work. Dr. St John is equally at home in the elementary and in the adoles cent . field. Special attention: should I be 'called to Dr. Bovartrs eonrse in Plans and Methods of Adult Work." Dr. Bovard is the author of "Adults in the Sunday Schools" and is exper ienced in his field. His course on plans and methods should be especially val uable. The course for adult workers should attract to Junaluska a large number , of teachers- and leaders in adult work. . Other courses will be led by instruc tors well known in the Church, and all of the work will be op to the high level of the standard already set at Junaluska. ' . f - Hotel Accomstodstlons.

Mr. Fergu son, who has been a member of the board of directors -since February, 1914, and who has been actively iden tified with the chamber work, sue eed president Harry A.

Mr. Ferguson was nominated for the presidency by a nominating committee of the board of directors, immediately after the chamber con cluded its annual meeting at St Louis nn Vf a 1. His.

HELP THE BOY SCOUTS. Several weeks ago there appeared in this paper an appeal to the moth ers .and fathers of Waynesville in be half of the Boy Scouts. This appeal has been answered by some, but in most cases by people who haven't any boys, but who are interested in yours. President Wilson and many other rot- ad men are backing the Scouts. Everywhere that they have been or ganized they have proved of great, benefit to the community and nation. In every loan drive and patriotic un dertaking they have given valuable aid. Will you not give the local troop your loyal support ! . -i'ln the early part of March we" started with only seventeen boys, how we have forty-eight. But. have you ever stopped to think that it is a hard job to keep this many boys interested, There are enough boys in Waynesville to organize another patrol, but is there another man who will do this much for the boys. Next week we will publish an 'acknowledgement of the gifts to the Scouts. The ladies of this town helped the soldier boys and no one has any fault to find with them, and we feel sure that they will also ' aid their own home boys when they understand the need. We need several things, but the most needed are three rocking chairs, table coven, seven large rug and several small ones, shades books, an American flag, a some timber and some money to se cure tents, pay rent snd pay for twenty-five straight chairs. - Waynes- . vflle do your bit, as you have done be fore Please turn money over to Scout Scribe E. Paul Martin, and no tify us where and when we can get the furniture. E. C. FERGUSON, ' Assistant Scout Master. QUICK TRIP TO ATLANTA. C. G. Logan and Ned Denton we: accompanied by J. D.
