the same pleasures to those of the public
who are willing to pay reasonable sum
fer the privileges. We cannot all own
great estate, but we can enjoy one during
the season by going to Sapphire Country.
Brevard is the gateway to this Beau
tiful Sapphire Country" 1t is the county
seat of Pennsylvania and one of the
incest mountain towns. On the borders
Of the town at it's highest point is es-
tablished The Franklin This is one of
the most elegant, convenient, and richly
appointed hotels | ever saw. / don't be-
lieve there is anything like it in this
State. The rates are no more than other
hotels. 1t is situated in large park
Of so acres in the midst OF which there is
beautiful lake. There is boating. and
fishing, and bathing and golf and other
games. 1t was primarily intended that
this should be stop off point for the
guest to rest before taking his trip TO
the estate. but it is so convenient to
the railroad and mails and is SO beauti-
full. wthal, that many guests prefer to
stop here.
The way to get to this wonderland
country is to come to Hendersonvlle
and take the Pennsylvania railroad to

children into schools will be the great
est benefactor to education in the State.
The next best school law our LegiSla-
ture can pass will be one to compel
parents to send their children to the
schools we already have. AT present
school terms. Then, too, five or six
months is about as long as most parents
can send to school during a year The
great mass of them are poor people, or
in moderate circumstances. They are
not able to hire labor. This necessitates
the keeping at home during a large part
of the year such children as are large
enough to work. 1t is therefore plain
that the greatest present need is to
bring all the children into the schools
we have and let them get the benefits
they offer. 1t is wise to use well what
we have and let that be a stepping
stone to something higher and better.
The saddest condition in North Carolina
today is that there are thousands of
white children growing up in utter ig-
norance not because they cannot but
because they will not go to school. 1t is
a grievous wrong against God, society
and children, to force them to live in
the darkness and disadvantages of ig-
norance. How can this wrong be recti-
fed, who can solve this problem?

OAK RIDGE INSTITUTE.

The growth, usefulness and large at
tendance at Oak Ridge Institute has been
one of the most remarkable successes in
the educational history Of North Caro-
lima. 1t is conducted by two brothers.
ProfS. j. A. and NJ. II. Holt, who own the
magnificent plant, and have thrown their
lives into the great work they are doing.
The buildings and equipment would do
credit to college and it's faculty en-
braces teachers of approved fitness, edu-
cation and experience. 1t is strictly nom
UNCONVENTIONAL and is situated in COM
munity noted for health, good morals,
religious life and true Southern hospital
ity. The Ho!ts at Oak Ridge have in
education done for their State what the
Hollis Of Alamance county have done for
North Carolina in manufacturing. Their
excellent school, grows yearly because
it does thorough work and deserves the
success which has come to it.

CARS description and to this has been add
ed all that money and art can do to rem
der the whole even more lovely. In a
radius of ten miles there are fifty beauti-
full cascades and water falls There are
two beautiful lakes stretching far back
between mountain peaks that rise alb
ruptly one thousand feet and from their
sides and the surrounding table lands
beautiful cascades pour directly into the
lakes. In their CLASSY surface are reflect
ed these towering peaks, the white cas-
cades, the wooded shore, and the sky
and clouds above. One of these lakes is
called The Sapphire Lake and the other
is called Lake Fairfield, and they are
about two miles apart Near to the Sap
phire Lake is the Sapphire Inn, and on
the shore OF Lake Fairfield is The Fair
field Inn. On the shore of Lake Fairfield
is a beautiful beach for bathing. There
are boat houses and boats for the use of
guests, and on Fairfield Lake there is
large Naptha launch. The fishing in these
lakes is fine. There are seventy-five miles
of river and brook fishing and from there
trout have been taken weighing from
three to four pounds. There is a large
hatchery which furnishes to these
streams yearly one hundred and fifty
thousand trout. The whole estate is
stocked with all kinds of game and it is
intended, if it shall prove feasible, at the
proper season of the year to permit the
guests to hunt under certain restrictions.
There are large truck farms, apple and
peach orchards, focks of sheep, herds of
cattle, fine cows, all for the exclusive use
Of the eupStS AT the hotels There iS an
other hotel on top of Mt. Toxaway called
The Lodge. From this point the view
is grand and sweeping. There are beat
tiful drives and shaded walks along the
streams ard shores of the lakes.
This is truly a wonderland and but q

DAIRY EDUCATION. !.

The model dairy at the Pan-American
exposition should greatly assist IN the
work Of dairy education. The features
of butter and cheese exhibits should OF
themselves be an object lesson OF con-
siderable Importance The scoring OF
entries from all parts of the country in
the competition to secure diplomas anu
high state averages should be far reach
ling by way of valuable instruction, and
should lead to more uniformity In the
general high character of dairy prod;
|ucts The judges Of butter and cheese
act independently or each other. The
supervision of scoring samples is car
ried out in manner which seems to
give entire satisfaction. and the scoring
BY the Judges has all along been close
sometimes so close as to be almost.
unanimous This feature of closeness IN
scoring is becoming more noticeable az
the model work progresses. The work
of averaging the scores, tho entailing
considering figuring, is considered rair
ana giving satisfactory results. IL Is
said the Improvement since the great
Chicago exposition is very marked, due
credit for the same being given to the
influence of dairy schools and the dis-
semination of practical information
thru the medium of Journals that take
an interest in practical dairying.
Nothing could be more gratifying to
millions in this country than that dairy
education should keep pace with the
genius OF the American people. On the
old time basis of affairs this could not
he expected. The work was carried on
along lines which commended itself to
our people. With the advent of I'M
proved dairy utensils and machinery
the scheme of operations is changed,
until now everything can be carried on
so that the work is pleasure instead
of being an irksome, slow process. rms
change appeals successfully to thou-,
sands. whereas the old process only en-
gagged the attention of hundreds. me
result is that with the spread OF dairy
education under the fostering care OF
state agricultural colleges and other ed
uca tional agencies. butter and cheese
making is becoming popular and VIII
