After all Statesville must be
somewhat of a considerable rural

dispatches sent out from that
place that some carpenters while
working on a dwelling house
there the other day discovered a

the gentleman residing in that
house had been living in it for
some time. The 'poSsum den
had also been there for quite a
while, and Mr.. 'Possum had
been passing in and out through

THIS Is a part Of your letter. Ap-
j pended below are my senti-
ments:
My Dear Loretta: You know
so much about men that 1 want
you to help me decide. A gen.
tieman has proposed to me. He
10 tall and very good looking.
He says / am the first girl he
ever loved. He makes a large
salary and is very refined. His
mother is opposed to his marry
ing. But he says 1 am the one
to settle that. What would you
do? Would you marry him?
What would I do? II any tail,
good looking male cast q longing
eye at me / would throw myself in
his arms-if were YOU!
The general and ingrained idiocy
of q girl who will ask advice about
marrying a man and give the data
that he Is tall and good looking,
has q big salary and is refined Is
so colossal that / should feel my
self neglecting an obvious duty II
1 failed to advise her to take the
man-and take him quick!
He may be the only one ham
pered with just the kind of eye
trouble that renders him oblivious
to your foolishness. So, take him
while you can-and before his
mother scrapes the scales from his
eyes OH aren't these mothers
cleverI
His saying you are the first girl
he eIer loved proves he does love
you. None of the others count

Of It; but I am about convinced
that they are chronic idealists about
women. and all they need is a fe-
male figure on which to draps their
fanciful creations. Certainly, it is
nothing in the woman that can sc-
count for the lifelong devotion and
cheerful bill paying.
You ought to marry the man. I
believe you have happened on one
of the idealists. There Is no ac-

You are q revelation to me. I

that the kittens who write to the

ANXIOUS TO LEARN

At the teachers agencies here ii is
said that the demand for more and
better teachers is accompanied by in
creases in the cost of tuition. This
is especially true of the private
schools, especially the boarding
schools.
Two or three years ago." said one
teachers agency manager. "a boy
could be sent to very good boarding
school for 5000 or $500 a year. Now
the average charge at such institu-
tions is 500 or $500,
THE colleges that charge tuition of
course do not depend upon these fees
for support; nevertheless many of
them have raised their tuition
charges on an average of $25 a year
The private boarding school business
must be profitable, for the number OF
establishments is increasing.
This, of course, is good for our
business, for it quickens the demand
for teachers and raises salaries The
only educational institutions that are
declining are the old-fashioned day
seminaries. The free state schools are
fast driving them out"
