Miss Carlisle came here 10 supervise

! limited number of teachers in primary
schools She was supervisor of nature
| study and had not more than fifteen
nor less than ten primary teachers UNI
der supervision. She was to become
supervisor of the primary schools"
"Then she was discontinued as super
visor of nature study?"
Yes"
WAS the efficiency of the schools
lessened by her dismissal or resignation
as supervisor of nature study?"
Il think perhaps, do you under
stand that the second year she was SUI
pervisor of primary schools?"
Was the efficiency of the schools
lessened?"
mo, I think the efficiency was in
creased by her taking part of the pri-
mary schools"
WAS the efficiency of the schools

"Then don't you think that the dis

Mr.. Chase-'"That has all been gone
over once"
Mr.. Dewell insisted that he should be
allowed to ask questions without being

Mr.. Chase-"I don't think that we
should be subjected to this tWo-hour
questioning each night and | for one
hope to curtail questions that are not

Mr.. DeWell-"I have confined myself
closely down to the resolution. 1t is a
very important matter if one supervisor
has been dismissed without detrment

"Then the opinion of the supervising
principal is of more weight?"
II should fake both into considera-
ton"
In case Of a difference of opinion
whose would you consider the best?'
THAT depends on the supervising
principal and on the supervisor, and
then l visit the teacher"
Mr.. Chase at this point remarked sot-
to voce absurd Mr. Dewell objected
to this and said that IL was not a prop
er way to treat person who appeared
before the committee.
Mr.. Brennan-'It is a matter of con-
fusion to the gentleman, these inter-
ruptions, and 1t also confuses me as
member of the committee.
Mr.. Chase explained that he was
talking to himself when he said cab
surd."
Mr. DeWell, as the time for adjourn
ment was near. at the suggestion of
Mr.. Chase, stated his views on the sub
ject of the inquiry. He said that ii
seemed to him as a citizen with no
technical knowledge of teaching and
not having been privileged to sit as
member of the board of education that
the cost of the city schools was more
than taxpayers ought to be asked to
bear. He believed that the people fav-
ored a system of plain drawing. He
opposed the teaching of nature study
as it took time from essential study
and wasted the taxpayers money. He
believed that supervising principals
should be able to teach writing and
that they could teach good plain sys-
tenn. He said that whatever takes
away SO much time from necessary
things from the child who goes to
work at the age of fourteen or fifteen

THE CnIN,rY SEAT.

Pittsboro is one of the old county
seats of one of the largest counties III
the State which was long denied the
advantages of railroad communication
essential to large growth. But during
the hundred and twelve years of its lifa.
pittsboro has been a history-making
town. the home of cultivated and retiasd
people. the summer home of rich plant
ers on the Cape Fear, and the abode Of
as chiyalrous and patriotic a people as
live in North Carolina.
From the days when CORVALLIS and h's
army in camp near here, found the III
triotism of the people of Chatham IN
comfortable, there has been no period of
the history of the State when Chatham
men have not shown that in peace and
war they were patriots and true men.
The legislative, executive. and judicial
annals of North Carolina tell the story
of the able men this county has prodnc-

The social charms of Pittsboro have

the coming of new manufactures This
social charm has attracted Il growing
number Of progressive and desirable N
habitants who are working with fac cid
settlers to increase the business and mnn-
ufacturing Importance OF the community.

the good Of Chatham caunty, as pre.i-

is situated voted bonds. individuals sub

built. In the work, the earnest cooper

cured, and the Pittsboro road is now
operated by that progressive and popu

Cooperating with the progressive ,lti-
zens of Pittsboro, the advantages ~
Pittsboro and the surrounding country
are madek n0wn to the world, with he
result that valuable additions to the pep
nlation have already been made, aud
with the advent of better times there IS
every reason for the confidence of great
growth which is felt here on every ha,td.
1t is now expected that the through
line which is being built from Durham 10
Charlotte will pass through this place.
thus putting Pittsboro directly on Il
through line. Its connection at Moncnre
with the Seaboard Air Line puts it with
in twelve miles of the splendid vestibule
through trains that pass through the best
section of North Carolina The line
from Durham to Charlotte would be an
other advantage that would hasten the
large growth of Pittsboro.

To show that it has paid Pittsboro
well to vote bonds to build its railroad.
it has been stated that enough money
has come to Pittsboro for the purchase
of railroad ties to pay the amount of
the bonds issued As there was no mar
ket whatever for ties before the railroad
was built. this was an entirely new III
dusrty developed by the railroad.
There has never been a boom here or
any attempt to start one. Values have
not been inflated, but are remarkably low
considering the nearness 10 markets.
This is not only true to fine groves and
lots for residence and eligible sites for
manufacturing but also or farm prop
erty. Good land can he bought at from

home of clover-the surest sign of pros

ton The people are not only anxious
to attract manufacturers, but VIII SO
further and interest themselves iii me
projects of such manufacturers The
raw material is at hand for woodwork
ing enterprises, there being specially an
ample supply of oak and hickory.

boro is red clay and is capable Of 7cry
high state Of cultivation and retains It's
productive capacity to "A wonderful de
gree. fifteen barrels of corn or thirty
bushels of wheat to the acre is no I'M
usual yield for the best of this land.
The farmers, as Il general thing, raise
all they need for their own consumption.
1t is an every day occurrence to see the
sturdy farmer drive into Pittsboro with
a wogan laden with flour hams, bacon,
and other produce of his own raising 10
barter for the comfort that he cannot
grow on his productive farm.
The church facilities are all they should

only qualifications to ensure n cordial

he is at once among people who make
living delight.

THE SOUTHERN GIRL.

She is the Most Charming, Happy and
Blessed of Columbia's Daughters.
In concluding nm editorial inspired by
"A Southern girls regret that she cannot
go to college. Edward Box in the April
Ladies' Home Journal, has this TO say
of the girls of the Southland: The
Southern girl is surrounded by a life
far truer and more conducive to self-de-
velopment Chan girls living in other sec
tions. because social conditions are more
normal. Her life is healthier because it
is saner, and her mind, by reason Of it,
is clearer and more constantly at rest.
THE rush Of life Of the North and West
is not SO stimulating rs many Southern
girls suppose. On the contrary ii wears
women ont as often rs il develops them.
In mo part Of orr country do women
look Younger at maturity than in the
South. TO the Southern girl. too, Ma
turc blooms in prOfusion aS she does
nowhere else The natural history which
the Northern girl must get out of books
the Southern girl gets direct from Ma
lures own hand. She is born of soil
as rich and colorful in romantic history
rs is the literature of Spain. This she
receives as natural heritage Her
parents are, and her ancestors were,
among the best types of American chiy-
airy and American womanhood She
hears but one language spoken. and that
is her own. If there is the introduction
OF another tongue it is French. and
with thte-c two she can travel the world
over and never be at a disadvantage.
The religion which she learns from her
mother is the highest and best because
it Is untainted with modern 'revea-
tons. The truest friend and safest
teacher in highest living girl can have
is her mother. and III the South moth
crs have way of finding time for their
daughters and being companions TO them.
The Southern father is fond of his chill
dren, and proves il by his presence at the
domestic hearth after his days business
is over"
