questions that come to us almost dali

Great advantage of attending a small
school over a large one is clearly
manifested when our graduates fill
positions that graduates from large
schools cannot fill. We are not ov-
ercrowded and can give our students
all the instruction they need. We
find the weak points in their general
education and build them up. This

Rev, Hoe er'S Misfortune.

Sundays greensboro Inquirer says:
Rev. j. d. Hooker, the well-known
local Baptist preacher, is deranged
mentally. He became violent Satur-
day evening at his home at Fourth
and Breckenridge streets, and it was
necessary to call in several men to
restrain him. He got possession of
a butcher knife and rubbed it over
his wrist as if searching for a fatal
point to strike. Men took the knife
from him and then he began to rave
violently. He was loudly proclaiming
that he was Lazarus and he wanted to
be released. DR.. c. ]. Lockhart was
sent for and he gave the raving man
some relief. His decision was that
Mr.. Hooker would have to be sent to
a sanitarium or an asylum at once.
Ten days ago a daughter was born
to Mrs. Hooker and they have five
other children. The case is a very
distressing one and Mrs. Hooker has
the deepest sympathy of her friends
and neighDors.
