From the’ Interest already'aroused it certainly looks as if there will be no dearth of candidates for the honor. Judge J. C. Pritchard has also been mentioned but there is hardly a pos sibility that he would aqcept as It would mean the relinquishment of his position ns a Federak Judge. THE SUMMER SCHOOL. Doscripti; n of The Daily Routine Which Prevails at Linwood—Work is Interspersed With Play—The Instructors. Correspondence of The Gazette. LINWOOD COLLEGE. July G.— Now that the children o[ Gaston county have laid away their books, tablets and pencils and are spending the long summer days in play, the situation is reversed, and their teach era have been called on "to go to school” for two weeks at the Sum mer School now In session at Lin wood College. Doubtle;3, It would afford these youngsters and their parents, too, infinite amusement ^o see all of these gra /e and dignified instructors in the daily school worl^ at Linwood. But, as all ot_the visitors to the Summer School seem to be of one kind, and as each of these visitors appears to he Interested in the pro gress of ono teacher alone, it might be interesting to the non-visiting uubllc generally to know what is be ing accomplished, a description will be given of one day's work, the pro gram of which is the same every day; Sunday of course, excepted: At o:8U tne rising Denhams luc sleepers that In exactly one hour breakfast will be ready. As every one seems to possess a very good ap petite meal times are usually looked forwatjl to with Interest. There is no need of any tonics here, and the r,-altera . are kept busy re-Jlllng empty dishes and biscuit and bread plates. Chapel bell rings at 8 o’clock. The expreises are conduct ed every morning by a different teach er and In exactly the same way as they are conducted In the various schools of the county. The classes would, be too large }f the entire force of 103 teachers should recite in one c'&ssi .They are therefore divided into two sections, a and b. The In structors and the subjects taugljt ate as iollows: Arithmetic—Prof. J. S. Wray, Supt. Gastonia graded schools. History—Prof. J. ' B. Henson, Eupt. Mt. Holly graded 8chpol. English—Prof. 8. G. Lindsay, Snpt. Dallas graded school. ..Geography—Prof. F. P. Rockett, Snpt. Bessemer City graded school. , School :Muslc—Prof. 8. A. Wolff, former Pres, of Gaston College. FJrat Grade Work—Miss Leila B. Youngy South graded school, Char lotte. Special stress Is being placed by Prof. Hall upon this First Grade Work, as the Ward Rational method of teaching reading Is to be adopted tblB year in the first grade of every school In the county. Miss young is a thoroughly com petent and most entertaining teach er and her classes are very popular. During the lecitatlon every teacher must become a little child,- and re ceive the same Instruction which they In turn are expected to Impart to the beginners when the schools re-open in the fall. Part of each period la devoted by Miss Young to the teaching of new motion sengs and games. These games afford amusement to the on lookers when acted out by a number of the teachers. • After dinner there are no reclta . lions, but the next day’s lessons must be prepared, sometimes there is a singing lesson In the chapel, and ope afternoon the teachers were all In terested in ’ the reading of one of Kipling’s latest works, "They,” which waa read aloud to them by Prof. J. S. Wray. Y. After an early sapper comes the great frolic of the day. Games are played in the hall or in the big porches. To some lively music all “Tlrlst," “Steal ’Partners,” “March to Jerusalem," or play “Bingo.” As everyone knows that Jack and Jill are made dull by all work and no play, dignity and all such things are put In the background for awhile and the teacbers enjoy this hour of relaxation. Entertaining and Instructive lec tures have been delivered by Prof. E. C.^Brooks, Chair of Pedagogy, Trinity College;41on. 8. J. Durham, Bessemer City, and Prof. J. H.' 80 park, Gastonia, These lectures were all of an unusually high order of merit and in the numerous up-lift ing thoughts the' teachers were giv en higher Ideals and new inspirations for doing better work In their school rooms In the future. ,As there was no lecture cn the evening of the 4th the teachers determined to celebrate the day by giving an entertainment in the chapel, The program was varied because the time was too short to prepare anything especially for the occasion. The audience, however, was most indulgent and most extremely appreciative, evpry performer receiving a hearty en core. The following Is the pro gram: - Opening Chorus—America. Address and reading of Declara tion of Independence, Prof. Wray. Recitation—The School Marin's Courtin’, Miss Janie Morris. Music—Plano Solo, Mrs. L. D. Henderson. Reading—Prof. S. G. Lindsay. Piano Duett—Misses “Mabel and Muriel Bulwiukle. Recitation—The Little News Bo^. Miss Helen Durham. •r'Reading—Miss Leila Piano Solo—Miss MassiolB Duet—Piano and VifcliuvM Carrie and Janie Morris • Recitation—“Lasca.” Miss Stroull Medley of Patriotic Songs. Sunday morning at 9 o’cioclU^J day school was conducted luH Chapel by Prof. Wray. At 4 o’clock service was conduct ed by Rev. W. R. Ware, of Gaaniia. Mr. Ware's sermon, was listeKd to throughout with the cIosestTatten tion by all who were so fortunate as to hear him. J The school will close Friday when the examinations will be ft01d by Prof. Hall. HV Any county is truly forttoate in -having so many opportunities for improvement given it* teachers as those given to the teachers of Gas ton county through the efforts of Its 'superintendent. Prof. F. P. ^iali. In the monthly meetings oi the Teachers’ Association much good is done. And now in the Summer School there is not only the benefit to be derived from study, but Still more the improvement every teacher must gain from the broadening in fluences of mingling with each other and enjoying the kindly care, con sideration, and the delightful times afforded them by both Prof, and Mrs. F. P. Hall. A Card From Rev. J. H. Vipperman. To the Editor of The Gazette. My recent coming to McAdenville and Lowell as pastor ofvthe Baptist church at each of the aforesaid places and the verv great kindness of the people towards me since coming moves me to say a word which wijl be expressive and illustrative of my appreciation- of the kindness'shown. It will be called to m(nd at once that I am the father of Pastor J. L. Vip permdn, of Dallas, who has served the people of this county faithfully for the past ten years. Being mov ed, as I beliove, by the spirit of God; 1 accepted the very generous and u nanimous call extended by the church here and at Lowell some few weeks ago. ■ I am now upon the field and have entered .upon my regular du ties as pastor. I have never seen a more loyal and consecrated people, and the outlook Is one of hope -and delight. , / On the night following our arrival here-the brethren and sisters came witfc many good things (too numer ous to mention), and filled our pan try. The pounding was so severe that we shall feel It a long time, and In memory we shall never forget It. This note Is my public recognition and return of thanks for their gen erosity and "the hospitality with which we have been received. 1 have been Identified with, the work of our State for thirty-five years, which constitutes the "time spent Jn the ministry. I take up my work here under the most pleasant* condi tions possible, and I can but be lieve that God has given us a great work to do In His name. With sal utations to the brotherhood, I am truly, , J. H. VIPPERMAN, Pastor McAdenville Baptist Church, McAdenville, July 6, 1908. J -.-< IN MEMOiUAM.- ^ Miss Margaret Ann Henderson.

Sparrow, who had been her pas tor for fcfteen years, conducting the services, taking as a subject for his remarks the text, “In thy ppesence is fullnes of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.” A good pious woman has gope from earth but, as we believe, to enter in to that fullness of Joy found at God's right hand and pleasures that are un alloyed and which are eternal.
