For School Betterment.
There was held last night In the
city hall a meeting of the physicians
and dentists of the town together
: with a committee from the Woman's
Beterment Association and the
superintendent of the city schoolBj
The meeting was held for the pur
pose of promulgating plans and pro
grams whereby the children of the
city schools might from time to time
have medical examination and in
spection, together with lectures on
the principal diseases common to
the school room. It was thought
best by all present to make this an
educational movement, first training
tiie teacher to detect -symptoms or
defectiveness and disease. Several of
he local physicians voluntarily offer
ed their services to give at stated in
tervals talks and lectures to the
school children and .teachers, a
committee was 'appointed last night
to draw up a list of subjects and dis
eases considered the most perti
nent to the needs Of school children.
From this list each physician is to
select one subject suitable to him,
and to his line of work and to de
liver a short address on that par
ticular disease or symptom.
- The committee is as follows:
'Mrs. D. R. Lafar, chairman, Mr. J. P.
Reid Drs. H. F Glenn and T.A. Wll
kjns and Supt. J. S. Wray. - This
movement Is a most estimable one
and it Is hoped that the patross of
.the school will give It their 'fullest
endorsement.

Ashev4Ie. Mr. - Paul Rhyne left
Monday' fpr Hickory to enter Lenoir
College.
Sometime ago Mr. T. A. Setzer lost
two cows and thought the cause was
eating too much copel. In answer to
inquiry about the copel tree the fol
lowing letter was received from O
I. Tillman, State botanist:
Department of Agriculture.
Dear Sir: The plant which yoi
sent in several days ago and which
yon suspected of having caused -the
death of your cows, has been re
ceived.
It is Ailanthuc gland ulosa Deaf
Tree of Heaven. It Is a native of
China and India and escaped from
cultivation in his country along
roadsides and in fields. It spreads
extensively by suckers and seeding
freely and forms a luxurious under
growth often. It is not poisonous
and the bark and roots are some
times used In medicine as a stlmu
lant to Increase the digest. acton
or the stomach. This piaut las a
disagreeable odor which might make
one suspicious of-it, but 1. would do
no injury to stock feeding upon it.
Yours very truly,
(Signed) O. I. TILLMAN.
Botanist.

valuable Information and re thought
might be of interest to some.

OF UTAL IMPORTANCE TO TUN
SCHOOLS.
The following is from tbe instruc
tions sent out by the State High
School Inspector: "Do not advance
tne pupils from year to year until
they have beto well grounded in the
studies purboed.'' This should . be
put tpon tie minds and hearts or
both teachers and parents. Each one
Interested in a school I wants to learn
that it is not tbe passing through
the grades that educates one, but tne
mastering of the things studied, If
ihe parents of the cailJren coul.id
her the teachers in the colleges
tell how many .pupils come to them
each year not half prepared, they
would come to the school authorities
asflld a patron yesterday. He said:
"My child has been passed to the
sixth grade. I do not think tnat be
is ready for It. If )d fiud it neces
sary, have- him repeat the fifth
grade."
The superintendent womd Jike to
w-e each pupil in th grade desired
by itself and its loved ones. There is
no one who wishes more for them to
advance than he does. But he knows
what is going to count out in the
world. He has an ideal, nn.l he
wishes to do tbe very best for the
hoys and girls. In no other business
In Gastonia would the heads promote
the I'ellow who had not done well his
part, who had not finished hla task in
the nlloted time.
Tbe following 1b the book list for
the coming year. In case more than
one book on a subject Is given the
books marked (1) are to be brought
to school the very first day. Those
marked otherwise a. not t.i bo
bi ought until the teacher requests
them.
