All Healing, July 14.—The Summer School of Gaston coun ty which has been holding iti first session daring the past two weeks is now drawing to a close. From the view point of all who have enjoyed the privilege of at tending, H- has been a perfect success in tbe truest sense of the * word. With Prof, sad Mrs. F- P. Hall at the bead of inch an un dertaking, and with the able instructors Prof. Hall has select ed from the teaching force of Gaston County it is not at all surprising that every one has re ceived Inspiration and helpful suggestions to entblc them to better cope with tbe problems of the school room and to go for ward with fresh enthusiasm to make tbe schools of our county better la the future than they have ever been in the past. Perhaps, however, it may in terest the readers of Tub Ga ziCTTB to hear what the teachers have really been doing, and what tbe daily routine has been for the past fortnight. -To go from Alpha to Omega we anil describe one day's work from the time the rising bell at six rudely and clamorously awakens tbe dreamers, until the ringing of the bell at 10 p. m. warns ev cry one to leave the joys of so cial pleasures and retire for the • . a_ . uiKUh* After breakfast at seven in tbe big cool dining-hall, relig ious exercises are conducted each morning in tbe Chapel by the different instructors, Prof. Wolff, of Gaston College, presid ing at the organ. At tbe close of these exercises the teachers divide into two sections. Sec tion A comprises teachers from the townships of Dallas, Cherry ville, Crowder's Mountain, and River Bend. Teachers from the townships of Gastonia and South Point compose section B. These classes recite alternately in the Chapel and Pruden Hall. Prof. Hall baa had enthusiastic and interested claaaes in the study ol Agriculture. Prof. Jonas ol the Mt. Holly graded schools has charge ol toe History and Geography reci tations. Prof. Wray ol tbe Gastonia graded schools inatnicU the English classes, and at the after noon aeaalon delivers a lecture on Pedagogy. Under the guidance of Prof. Wilson of the Cherryvitle graded school the two classes have "picked bones" and studied the wonders of the human body. Besides conducting the Physiol ogy recitations. Pro!. Wilson lectures every other afternoon on Psychology. Proi. Wold has given Instruct tion in the aongs which every child in the county should know. The music baa been a pleasant feature ol the school. Mrs. Wilson of Cherryvillc continued her leksousiu primary work until Tuesday morning. Everyone was pleased with the methods she used in teaching her Model Ciasa com posed of little children from the neighborhood. Owing to -sickness Prof. Car wile of King's Mountain was unable to instruct bis classes in Arithmetic. Mr. F. B. Rankin baa consented to take hia place. Lecturers and their subjects have been as follows: Prof. Loy Thompson, of Rutherford College, Southern Poets; Mr. George Wilson, of Gastonia, Judge Gaston; Mr. L. M. Hod man, Gaston County ; Dr. Henry Louis Smith, of Davidson Col lege, The Culture of Science; sad Ex-State Snpt. Mebane of Raleigh on Education. Prof. Wold at the request of Prof. Hall gave the teachers an impromptu talk on bis recent visit to the S*. Louis Exposition Too much cannot be said in praise of these lectures and the pleasure they aHorded the audi ences. It may be appropos here to mention a little joke Prof. Hall played on the teachers last week. Hr. Mebane was to have lectured Wednesday evening, but as he failed to arrive Prof. Hall brought Mr. McArthur, who has recently been elected principal of the Lowell graded school, out to All Healing with him. A nsugbty plan was con cocted by them on the way. Every one was expecting Mr. Mebane and, therefore, when Mr. McArthur arrived on the scene be was cordially received by those who had heard him lecture in Dallas two years ago Several young ladies were de lighted to see him again as they had enjoyed his lecture so very much. "Mr. Mcbane’' was of course delighted to renew his acquaintance with fits fair friends. Another young lady was "so glad” to meet him as she knew his sister. The plot tbickeoed so rapidly about the conspirators that at last "Mr. Mehane" was mysteriously spirited awsy until the time for the lecture arrived when Prof. Hall's explanations evoked much amusement and laughter. As 'all work and uo play would make Jack ■ dully boy" the recreation hours are en joyed by all. Mountain climb tug is a favorite pattime. Two ambitions parties have arisen before Old Sol was even think ing of stirring and by the aid of lanterns have. ascended the mountain, and bare watched the •an as be awoke from bis slumber aud shed his golden rays over the glorious mountain scenery. Wednesday afternoon a party ascended the mountain im mediately after an early supper On their return they, as usual wended tlieir tray to the springs to enjoy the cool sparkling wa ter. To their surprise there in the sylvan shades they found that Mrs. Hall and Prof. Wray had provided a delicious supper for the refreshment of the climbers. Good appetites reign supreme and soon the sand wiches. lemonade and other good things vanished speedily. As Prof. Carlyle will not be able to lectnie to-day and to morrow ns had hern rnvrt rd the school will close this after noon as examinations are to be held by Prof. Hall. The time will soon come when the teachers, 87 in all, will leave this beautiful spot where Mr. and Mrs. Lindsay have made every one comfortable and where the companionship with each other has been very pleasant. We are sure every one will carry away with them only the pleas antest memories of the A11 Healing summer school of Gas ton County. Per Old Time’s Saks. Mrs. A. C. Shepard,|who lives near Pearson’s store, has a dish that is 75 years old. It doesn’t show a single crack and teems as good as a new one. Mrs. Shepard also has an old-time dress that her mother wove on the old home loom before the civil war. fnsAJuimarmim ft!
