Professor M. H. Holt, presi-
dent of the board Of directors Of
theNorth Carolina School for the
Deaf at Morganton, has just re-
turned from a meeting of the ex-
ecutive committee, held at the

Miss Bessie Benbow of this

the old Commodore's to be able,
through his railroad system, to send
from New York. and from Chicago
and the west to New York. in the
swiftest time that railway development
made possible in those days. In this
