Saw Battle In Crowds

England's airship invasion scare has
recalled to a writer in the London
Chronicle an aerial specter which ap.
peared long before the flying machine
had shown any signs of flying. AT
Christmas time, 1912, the people OF
Keniton. in Northamptonshire. were
alarmed by the apparition of the real
combat which had recently taken
place at Edgehill, This ghostly fight
was said TO have been fought several
nights and witnessed not only by the
yokels' but even by special representa-.
ives OF the king, who recognized
among the fighters many of their
friends who had perished.

tory of the school. The day
pupils have come in unusually
promptly and both the boys and

students from this state and

Special exercises were held the
first day. The chief feature of
the occasion was a most power
full address delivered by Rev. J..
G. Hughes, of Hendersonville,
on Education as a Factor in the
foundation of Character" He
held the closest attention Of his
large audience, while in his de-
lightful delivery he made clear
what is meant by Education, and
what by Character. The various
influences of education and
school decipline. He proved
that self-control is the keynote
of character building. Personal
contact in school life is also a
revelation Of personality in itself.
The climax of his speech was
spiritual power and influence.
After Rev. Hughes address
short practical talks were made
by Prof. Shitle, Superintendent
of Public instruction, Mr.. D. S.
Pace and Mr. R. M. Prefor.
Dinner was then announced
and all present were cordially in
vited to partake of the bountiful
dinner spread on the tables be-
meath the stately chestnut trees
on the green campus. The
afternoon was spent in social en-
joyment, and just as the sun
sank from view behind the

graved on their hearts.
