COUNTY-WIDE PLAN OF SCHOOL
BUILDING AND MANAGEMENT
(Continued from frcnt page.)
rei ienccd.
Tnis year, the Fines Creek special
school taxing district was formed,
now i:n eight room school building
is being erected on a beautiful site
near the center of the district. The
building will be used for high school
and elementary school purposes. It
contains, or will contain when fin
ished, besides the eight class rooms,
an aud'torium to seat four hundred
people, two offices, and a library. It
will serve as a consolidated union
school talcing the place of the fol
lowing schools: Cove, Hiram Rogers,
and Noland. Besides serving these
districts as an elementary consoli
dated school, the high school depart
ment will be open to all high school
children of Fines Creek and White
Oak townships.
Waynesville and Fines Creek are
the only two projects that have been
worked out, or in process of being
worked out. Last March, two or
three others were agitated and got
ten partly under way, but were short
ly afterwards abandoned. The plan
stands today, therefore, as a good
one, but, as a whole, poorly worked.
Two good steps, it is true, have been
taken. Is it about time to take an
other ?
A comprehensive glance at the
situation reveals a condition well
worth considering. There are some
problems involved that the pressing
for a solution. Beaverdam town
ship is perhaps the most complicated
of the projects. There are nine
schools circling the city of Canton, a
special charter district, the district
lines running contiguous with the
city limits. By special arrangement
for some years, high school students
from the country districts have been
admitted to the Canton High School
for a period of six months only, a
condition unsatisfactory both to the
county and Canton school authorities
because of the short term and the
difficulty of making proper adjust
ments resulting therefrom.
It is within the range of almost
immediate probability that the ca
pacity of the Canton High School will
he insufficient to accommodate the
increased number of high school
students that will be clamoring for
admission from the country districts.
That is almost sure to be the case
next year if the elementary schools
around Canton will do the work that
is expected of them this year. What
will the County Board of Education
do for high school facilities for the
children of Beaverdam township out
side of Canton of the school board
of the special charter district of Can
ton should close the doors to them?
There may be other solutions of such
a problem if it should become press
ing, but the one that appears feasi
ble now is the erection of at least a
ten room building near Austin's
Chapel to meet the needs for a con
solidated union school to take care
of all elementary children in that
part of the township and to give high
school instruction to all high school
children in the township outside of
the town of Canton. The best so
lution probably would be to build the
high school in Canton, but if Canton
does not want to come in the county
wide plan, then the other is the only
feasible one.
Other projects, Pigeon-Cecil-F.ast
Fork, Crabtree-Iion DufT, and Jona
than, are in the making, but a full
discussion of them would take this
article beyond its length. But the
consideration of their needs and the
practicability of the plan with refer
ence to them may well claim the at
tention of our people.

Aids in Mastering
Culinary Art
MAKING an art of cookery
means putting all the house
hold engineering on an effi
cient basis, and saving oneself effort
and time fair adding the extra touches
that make dishes appetising. No house
wife should be without these simple
mechanical aids, scales to weigh and
cheek her supplies, improved can open
ers, mixing spoons, knife sharpeners.
And nearly all housewives make gen
erous use of canned foods, those easy
sources of individual touches which
are safe, economical and remarkable
time savers.
An indispensable staple is shorten
ing. Lard, vegetable oils and such
good shortenings keep the expensive
butter bill where it belongs. When
purchased in cans they need no other
container and the easy reseating cover
of the can keeps the shortening sweet
Jellied Vegetables

A rare treat was offered to some
American visitors by a Vene
tian host who gave a dinner in
their honor one summer evening on
a barge afloat in the Grand Canal not
far from the Doge's Palace. Every
dish served was cold, and prominent
on the menu were jellied meats and
vegetables.
These are excellent summer foods,
whether one eats them on the Grand
Canal or in an American home. Here
are suggestions, simplified by the use
nf canned foods.
Chicken in Tomato Jelly
Bring one can chicken soup and two
cans tomato sauce to boiling point,
pour onto two envelopes gelatin soft
ened in one cup of cold water. Add
three diced cucumbers, two small cans
of chicken, two tablespoons sugar,
half teaspoon each of salt and pepper.
Pour in mould. When cold, serve
with mayonnaise. A decorative effect
is secured by putting sliced hard
cooked egg and strips of red pimien
to into the mould before pouring the
jelly in.
Jellied Pea
Soften two and a half tablespoons
gelatin in two-thirds cup cold water,
add two and a half cups boiling
water, two-thirds cup sugar, two
thirds cup vinegary two and a half
tablespoons lemon juice, salt. Strain
and cool. When almost congealed,
add a can of drained peas and a
can of carrots. Pour in mould and
serve sliced. This dish serves as a
meat substitute. Mayonnaise or a
boiled dressing should be served with
this dish.

Culinary art consists also in uiitur

excellent source of flavoring, again
for meats or for vegetables.
Canned fruits and berries consti

from canned fruits almost at a moi
