points where dams can be constructed
10 advantage il Is reasonable to assume
tnat this remarkable river of North
carolina Is destined to supply power
! TO many large industrial enterprises.
w. L. Weaver, president of the w.
i. weaver Power Company of Ashe-
vile, was one of the first to annrecia 70
the advantages OF the French Broad.
Work on the hydraulic plant has pro-
crossed far enough to show its sub
stantial character The dam across the
river Is 500 feet long, IA feet high, IL
feet wide at the base ana feet at the
top. 1t contains 2.705 cubic yards OF ma
sorry. From the dam a stone canal
extends down the river distance of
nearly 5000 feet, and at the end of the
canal is the site OF the power house,
and in the dam, the canal and the
foundations for generators and wheels
and the building there are 1892 yards
of masonry. In addition there are IT,
800 cubic yards In the canal embank-
ment.
About 5000 horse power will be avail
| able for distribution along the manu-
featuring property on the bank of the
French Broad within a mile of the
power station. The entire river can be
turned into the canal when water is
low, and as the government estimate
of extreme low water for the past
twenty years is 100 horsepower per
foot of fall 1t is apparent that under
average conditions there is no proba-
bility of shortage Of power.
Part OF the property controlled by the
Weaver company is on Beaver Dam
creek, which flows into the French
Broad. On the creek is a location for a
reservoir, from which water can be de-
livered by gravity to an elevation 81
feet above mill foundations. The dis
charge measurements of the creek show
supply Of 100000 gallons in twenty
four hours, and the water, according
to the reports of chemists to whom IL
was sent for analysis, is of excellent
quality for dyeing and bleaching. Thus
j. is evident that the location is very
favorable for manufacturing, and CHI
matte conditions are all that can be
desired, while capable help is abund-
ant. Transportation facilities also are
excellent. The Southern Railway fol-
lows the French Broad and is easily
reached, and a railway will be built
between Asheville and the Weaver
property to take care Of the traffic
which cannot be handled conveniently
by the Southern.
Part Of the machinery will be in OPP
Grafton in September or October, when
IL is expected that 1000 horsepower
can be delivered. The price doubtless
will interest those looking for manu-
featuring locations-$15 per horse-pow-
err per annum at the mill wall on any
part of the Weaver property, on the
basis of sixty-sx hours use a week.
This is for large units. When less than
500 horsepower Is wanted, the price
will be SIS per horsepower per year.

The following increase in the number

very interesting summary of the
four years growth has been prepared
by the president for the faculty, and
may be made public later. Many plans
are on foot for the extension of the
work on various lines, but these are not
yet ready for publication.
Mrs. Warning, whose enthusiastic
work in the kindergartens of Savan-
nah has contributed so largely to their
success, makes the following appeal to
the public:
Thus far, the management of the
Kate Baldwin Free Kindergarten has
striven to show the public what good
kindergartens are for all sorts of chill
dren; what a good training school is,
and what a power it is in the right
education of young women. Now, the
time has come for the public of Savan-
nah to show it's appreciation of this
educational institution by more than
many visits and expressed approba-
ton. The Baldwin memorial fund,
while n generous one, is meant for the
support of one kindergarten; but
through skillful management many
more are supported. The city of Sa-
vannah, the benevolent and dramatic
associations, the board of trustees of
Chatham Academy and Trinity Church
all have helped; but there are still
hundreds, and one may safely say
thousands, of little children in. our
city who are excluded for want of
room. No institution can take up bet
ter philanthropical work, no individual
can give where money is better ex-
pended Endow a kindergarten and
call it by your name If you wish to be
recognized as doing this work; give
scholarship to some student, for lGany
scholarships could be given away to
good purpose; send a donation for the
Yamacraw building fund, where we
hope some day to have a house and
lot that will be a credit to Savannah
and lasting benefit to its neighbor-
hood; give to the general fund,as much
TO show the laborers that their work
is being watched and appreciated as
for the actual monetary aid. The as
ISOLATION has never begged FOR one
penny, but any voluntary contributions
are most heartily appreciated, and in
crease by just so much the efficiency
of the work, and the enthusiasm of
the workers, for TO work against odds
is nobler, but to feel that ones efforts
are assisted is certainly more inspiring.
The Kate Baldwin Free Kindergarten
enters upon It's fifth year with bright
er prospects than ever before, and hopes
to increase It's helpfulness as the years
go by, and to give
ITO each according to his needs;
From each according to his power"

EIGHTY-NINE TRY

plicants, thirty-seven white and fifty
three colored.
OF the first there were thirty-five Ia
dies and two men, and of the latter
forty-seven women and five men. The
examination was in charge of com
mittee consisting of Messrs. George A.

Henry Blum and Otis Ashmore. Mr..
Blum was absent, however, being out

The actual examination was conduct

,ears will probably be acted upc

years will probably be acted upon
finally.
A bill for the protection of bird life
will be made the first matter of bust
ness in the House. This will be
championed by Mr.. Harden, its author.
The bill has the backing of the Au-
dobon Society of America, it's presi-
dent, William butcher of New York,
having spent much time in Atlanta in
it's interest.
When the bill was introduced some
years ago it met defeat. In fact, 1t
was never seriously considered, the
Senate amending it so that the life Of
the hooking bird became alone sub
ject to the protection of the law.
Legislation similar to that embodied
in Mr.. Harden's bill has been enacted
in the legislatures of many of the
states of the Union, and the promoters
of the measure are hopeful of success.
The railroad pass bill, prohibiting
railroads and other transportation
companies from issuing passes to state
officers, will be reconsidered at the
coming session. The measure was
championed by Mr.. Hall of Bibb. 1t
was laid on the table at the last ses-
sion, and indications point to its de-
feat again.
The establishment of a uniform fee
of $3.50 for protestations by notaries
public is sought in bill which will be
considered at this session. The rate
is now fixed by a scale, and in many
instances, the promoters of the pro-
posed law declare, works a hardship.
There are numerous other matters
of local and general interest which
will occupy the time and attention of
the Georgia legislators during the
summer session. Those mentioned are
however, the matters of principal in
terest to come before the body.

The board of managers of the Kate

presidents, Mrs. w. I. Mccoy, South
Orange, N j.. Mrs. T. P. Warning
| treasurer, Mrs. A. L. Alexander; ad-
visory member, Mrs c. S. Park-has
made the following announcement of
| the appointment of its staff of teach
ers for the coming year:
| Miss Jessie Anderson, supervisor of
kindergartens, and principal of South
Side kindergarten.
Miss Marion Alexander Boggs, prin-
cipal of Normal School, /. e.. the

Mrs Elizabeth C. M. Watt, secretary

| ten art work in water color, crayon,

musical expression, rhythm, and mu-
| steal programmes.
Miss Clara B. Vaughan, principal of
Yamacraw Kindergarten and teacher
of manual training.
Miss Elizabeth Hayward, principal
of Chatham Kindergarten and teacher
of nature study.
To those familiar with the operation
of the system, it viii be evident that
a change has been effected by thus
! permanently dividing the working
corps into the three following depart
ments:
The Normal School, or department
for training teachers;
The business management, or de-
| partment of ordering supplies, CORE
| spondence and PRONUNCIATION of the
work:
The supervision of kindergartens, or
the executive department of the run
ming of the kindergartens.
The heads of these three depart
ments, with the supervisor of kinder
gartens as chairman. form the Exec
utive Committee which is responsible
to the board of managers for the
whole kindergarten association. All
matters not affecting the policy of the
kindergartens come within the action
of this committee, while other matters
of importance are referred to the
board of managers
The necessity and wisdom of this
division of work has been fully dem
onstrated to the management by the
experience OF the past year and Is
explained by Mrs. T. p. Waring the
retiring supervisor. as follows
