Noted Educator
Joins High
School Staff
Dr. B. C. Von Kahlden. who
for several years has beer, conducting
a private school for '
boys, specialising in Classical ]
courses preparatory to college. '
This instructor in the Ungua- :
ges, who is a graduate of the '
University of Berlin a'id for 1
many years taught a Latin ;
class in the high school Ft. \
Wayne, Ind., is going to teach
Latin in the Tryon High School {
this season. '
DiiHnor tho rvaafr Con, irrora ho '
^ *"0 V??V I^MUV A V II J V/ -%*. J lIVy
has conducted a very exclusive
school near Tryon and has '
scholars attending from many '
different cities in the north. ,
The tuition was priced at $1- J
S50.00 for an eight months '
school period and in addition !
to the languages which were a '
major part of the curriculum, .
many provisions were provided .
in the way of horseback riding
and other exercises to guard 1
the health and provide for the '
physical well-being of the stu- ;
dents.
This verv interesting gentle- .
man has contributed much to
the local atmosphere and educational
interest at Try on. He 1
came here seeking a place to
establish a mountain retreat
where he could specialize in the
growing of small fruits and
horticulture. He lives about \
two miles from the centre of
the city in one of the protected ;
areas which is often termed thai]
Thermal Eelt, and it was here |
he cleared a number of acres!
for the cultivation and pc due J.
tion of a great variey of grapes 'J
j peaches, apples and other,'
fruits He is makincr a serious I
study of the climatic conditions
;to determine which product is
, best adapted to the local situation.
The reporter for the
News, while visiting the vineyard
recently learned that there
were T5 different varieties of
grapes included therein and the i
I expert in charge informed him |
that the protection ojforded by j
the mountains towering above<
the location, as well as the air
I water drainage pro\ided by the i
sloping mountain side was
largely responsible for the won- (
derful flavor found in these <
products, which are becoming i
famed throughout the country. <
for their superior quality; in ]
fact he stated tiiat the products i
raised in that paricular loca- j
tion and one similar to it along (
the side of the mountain proved \
far more delicious than would <
be obtained from the cultivation
of the same vine either on *j
top of the mountain or at a j
lower efevation. <
Dr. Von Kahlden will doubt- I
less conduct his private school
again in the future, but for the j.
season of 1927 will be identi- i
fied with the local school body.

New Orleans will give the Southern
continuous telephone connection
between Cincn.ati and

The telephone has a number
af advantages over the telegraph
for dispatching trains.
It is faster and more accurate
and affords opportunity in
limes of emergency for dispatchers
to talk directly tc
train conductors. Its use on
the Southern has been found
