Special Scholarship for Young Men
and Women.

There are many young men and
women in this county and in the
State who want to go to school next
year. No one can afford to let the
years of opportunity slip away with
out an education. But it costs money
to go. The people al home are not
able to meet the necessary expenses.
This sh ould not prevent your going
to school next year. You can pay
your own way.
The Christian Home of Charlotte,
an inter-denominational home paper,
has arranged to cooperate with STU
dents who wish to enter school next
year by paving their own way. The
Christian Home has arranged with
most of the leading schools of the
State, including high schools, the
University, Davidson, Wake Forest,
Greensboro Female College, Baptist
University for Women, and Others,
to provide scholarships, including
board, room, tuition, and in some
instances, expenses. These scholar
ships are paid for by the Christian
Home
This is a great opportunity for
students. Two or three from each
county should take up the Christian
Home proposition and secure these
| scholarships. 1t can easily be done
this summer in our own town and
county. Those interested should
write to the Christian Home, Char
