r.!rs. Bush Attends Press Meeting.
This time, as has fallen to her
lot before, the "better half"
of The News staff attended the
Western' North Carolina Weekly
Press Association. The pretty
town -of Moxyacajvton, "in .the lap
.to the mountains" was the place
. of the summer meeting this year,
Miss Beatrice Cobb, the enter
prising and able editor and owner
of the local newspaper, T h e
News-Herald, was the central
figure among the many citizens
of the town who were the cordial
hosts. Morganton's handsome
new hotel. TheJCaldwell, open
ed its doors , to fyjtfcome t h e
newspaper folks ar3 allthe forty
visitors were well cared for, free
of charge by the manager, Mr.
Gaston. The Hotel Caldwell is
a splendid building, carefully
and excellently appointed, and
would do credit to a city many
times the size of Morgan ton.
The Editorial party spent two
days Thursday and Friday
as guests of hospitable Mor
gantoh. The firs day they
greatly enjoyed a visit to the
State Institute for the Deaf, hav
ing luncheon in this building and
in afternoon, holding an inter
esting and profitable business
session. In the evening the
Kiwanis Club entertained at a
brilfant banquet jn their' club
rooms. On this occassion Miss
Cobb was the clever Mistress of
ceremonies, and as she intro
duced them, inspired Ihe several
speakers to particularly bright
responses. Friday was spent at
Lake James to which lovely
point the visitors were taken in
automobiles and entertained most
charmingly at a luncheon at the
Club House.
The meeting at Morganton
was a delightful success from
beginning to end.
' Little Henry Shankle J r,
grandson of Postmaster S. B.
Edwards, who had the misfor
tune of very badly breaking his
right thigh, on April 8th, has
sufficiently recovered to be able
to walk with a crutch, and hopes
to soon discard these. He will
not be crippled.

After carefully making my
; final report for the year's work.
.I'd like you good people to see
how seriously we have failed; in
that we may profit byvthis short
coming. We are all anxious to
build up a school; but let each
and every one recall to his mind
his own boyhood ; then he can
plainly see that success can come
only by hard effort, even sacri-
: fice. . . '
Our highest enrollment for the
year was Z4i. wnereas our
average daily attendance was
196. We had during the year
288 tardies. We had during the
4 year 3557 absences.
v Although our average daily at
tendance for the year grew from
142 to 186 an increase of 54 still
you see how, far lacking we still
are Won't all help, to improve
these conditions.
