Meanwhile other arrangements had to
fee made to take care of the school

The Methodist church will be used
for the high school while the old
school building will be used for the
grades.
There is a certain youngster who
will never again be subpoened as
witness by a certain attorney. The
latter has decided that one encounter
with that bright lad is quite enough.
The youth was in the witness box
when the lawyer began to examine
him.
"Have you an occupation?" asked
the attorney.
"No, sir."
"What does your father do?"
"Hardly anything, sir."
"Does he support the family?"
"He does odd jobs occasionally,
"As a matter of fact, your father
is a worthless fellow a loafer?"
"I don't know," replied the witness.
You'd better ask him. Jtfe's sittinir
over there on the jury."

"It's a good distance," responded
the farmer.
Another 20 minutes passed and the
young man asked, "About how far is
it to Langfield?"
"Well," the farmer replied with a

MARSHALL PRISONERS
WORK MARSHALL ROADS
:
Utilizing the town's -prisoners to
benefit the town is what Marshall is
doing under an act of the last legis
lature.' A foree of fourteen men is
now working the roads in the town of
Marshall on the south side of the ri
ver. These men are in charge of Mr.
Jake Blazer, foreman and jailer. Mr.
L. J. Crow is guard. The prisoners
have sentences ranging from ten to
thirty days, hence the town forc. will
be constantly changing. However,
if the otherwise wasted time and en
ergy of these prisoners qan thus be
utilized ' to benefit the eoads atitj
streets in our 'town, this act of the
legislature will be a wise one.
Would Make a Better World
If all who hate would love us,
And all our loves were true,
The stars that swing above us
Would brighten in the bh;e.
If cruel words were kisses,
And every frown a smile,
A better world than this is
Would hardly be worth while.
Tf purses would untighten
To meet a tirother's need,
The load we bear would KgViten
Above the grave of greed.
If those who whine would whistle,
And those who languish laugh,
The rose would rout the thistle,
The' grain outrun the chaff.
If hearts were only jolly,
If grieving were forgot,
And .tears and melancholy
Were things that now are not
Then love would kneel to iuty,
And all the world would seem
A bridal bowr to beauty.
A dream within a dream.

pupils to school who are not in
reach of school and not to take
those who are in reach. The
rules governing the commilsorv
attendance act recognizes two
and one half miles as beinc a
fair and legal limit for requir
ing children to walk to school.
Therefore the Board of Educa
tion is forced to provide schools
for the children living more
than two and one half miles
from school or to provide trans
portation. In order to give chil
dren better advantages it is
ound more economical to trans
port them to large central
schools than to attempt to es
tablish schools within the reach
of. everybody. The children
who live within the two and one
half mile radius, by the other
children being brought in, re
ceive better advantages, since
it provides a larger number of
teachers who are able to divide
the work better:.
I hope that the people of the
county will cooperate with the
school principals and truck
drivers in making our transpor
tation both satisfactory and e
conomical. This can be done
with the cooperation of the peo
ple; it cannot be done satisfact
orily without it.

Plans are being perfected in
the office of the Board of Edu
cation to standardize the ele
mentary schools at Walnut,
Marshall and . Mars Hill next
year. By standardizing these
schools we must put in equip
ment that will enable both pu
pils and teachers to do effective
work and we must get the best
trained teachers.
Before any teacher is eligible
for employment in a standard
elementary school she must
hold at least the elementary A
certificate. That is, she must
have the equivalent of one
year s training beyond high
school graduation.
Beginning with the school
year 1926-27 only the teachers
who can qualify for this certifi
cate will be eligible as a teacher
in these schools. Beginning al
so the year 1926-27 no teachers
will be employed in the county
who do not hold at least an ele
mentary B certificate unless by
long experience, and success as
a teacher she has demonstrated
to the Board that such exper
ience is equivalent to a higher
certificate;''
Elementary B certificates are
issued to graduates of standard
high schools plus three months
professional training in an ac
credited normal or summer
school- This notice is given so
that all teachers that will be af
fected thereby may make pro
visions for raising their certtn
cates -or take whatever .steps
necessary for their plans for
next year .- The state fof North
Carolina has rated the prepara
tion of 'the teachers of the var
ious counties in the stfcte.. .we
have ranked very low: in the
average preparation of teach
ers. Therefore it is necessary
that standards be put up so that
we may bring our, prof ession
up to the average for the rest of
the counties in the state; '1; --;
Madison County is fortunate-'
;y situated to secure gooa teach
ers, i This year there will- be
three -accredited high 'schools
doing standard work, also there
is a two years junior college in
the county doing, a very : fine
solved by the heating engineer, ac
cording to gas experts.
They say that present-day heating
methods in most American homes are
totally inadequate to cope with mod
ern fashions.
Homes are either hot, cold or in
different. The ceiling is 105 and the
floor 60, and the women today, in
short skirts and silk stockings, do not
sit on the ceiling.
Heating with gas, says the North
and South Carolina Public Utility In
formation Bureau, appears to bs the
only way on earth that you can main
tain a temperature with a prouerly
designed furnace and an even heat
distribution between the ceiling and
the floor of one-half to one djree
with any degree of outside tempera
ture. That means that the air is put
into that room in a proper way.
You can go into the average coal
heated room today, and you will see
women and girls sitting on their feet "
to keep warm in an upholstered chair,
and they are the ones that stay there
all day while the men are active in
an office and more or less comfortable
