Sanitary Condition
OF Graded School

HendersonviIle, N. c., Oct. 80, 1913.
Editor Western Carolina Democrat.
Dear Sir:
Believing your good paper to be the
repository of the grievances OF the
citizens of Hnedersonville and more
particularly the plants of the parents
of the school children of this COM
munity concerning their comfort and
health, | write you in regard to the
condition of the closets at the graded
school.
From time to time my boy has been
bringing me reports of the outrageous
condition obtaining there because of
the criminal carelessness n wllful
naughtiness of the pupils uncorrected
or unpublished by the authorities, Bu'
il was yesterday I saw few ",~
girls closets AND vas sstnutrtAt4 fH'
such a condition OF affairs conld
tolerated a moment. The water was
ali over the place; ones skirts had to
be, raised to pass along the floor, be-
hind each closet door conditions were
unspeakable. l am told that the girls
wilfully thrown down whole rolls of
toilet paper thus stut1ng up the clos
cts; also apple cores, etc.
Occasional or continual %lecturinS
upon this subject by the principal will
have no effect. Drastic measures
should be taken and at once. Severe
and condign punishment should be
melted out to such offenders. They are
a menace to their school-mates IN
every way and such laWlessness and
persistent endeavor to create trouble
produces children of the worst type.
1t is negligence o fthe worst order to
evince laxity toward such offenders.
Are not the members of the Board
of Education intelligent enough to see
to what physical and moral deIriment
these conditions will lead and are they
not interested enough to exert them
selves until it would be impossible for
a child to so offend again? If a ten
minute emphatic address each morn
ing in chapel to the pupils upon the
present conditions and an imperative
demand that all such acts leading to
such conditions be discontinued at
once or final dismissal from the school
in disgrace, would be given by a diff
ferent member of the Board each day
for a week l am sure a beneficent re-
suit would be obtained. If necessary,
for a small fee, a maid could sit and
watch-for offenders from $3.50 till 2:30
and the trouble would be quickly set
tied. Children, before now, have felt
the wholesome awe of determined
surveillance.
In the meantime it would seem that
smallpox isn't enough for the com
munity, but that the Board of Educa-
ton by its lack of interest in the sani-
tation of the school house is indiffcr-
ent as to whether we have the addi-
tional anxiety of typhoid.
Very truly yours,
A MOTHER. 4

luIC0 N111O No.
Much has been said in the naperS
about the mysterious light which can
be seen from certain points in Burke
county-a Fight which rises from no.
where, so far as the natural eve can
disconcern, is visible for a time and
then passes out. 1t has been observed
for years by many Burke people and
finally so much interest was aroused
that the government vas importuned
to send an expert 20 pass or the mys-
terry. The expert appeared in Burke
a few days g but his research was
rot satisfactory. The Morganto1
Messenger says the expert-Mr. Star
rette-arrived in M~organton with his
mind made up that the mysterious
light was the headlight of a locomo-
tive and refused to take the matter
seriously. The Burke people think
the phenomenon was not treated
with the consideration which its
portance demands and they are, as q
result, somewhat in the state of mind
of the Alexander county boy who
found himself in the penitentiary-
they are not pleased at all.

A Necessity.

On November fifteenth there will be
held an election in Waynesville on the
question of issuing twenty thousand
dollars in bonds to extend the sewer
system of the city so as to fulfill the
provisions of the contract made be-
tween Waynesville an dthe Southern
Assembly when that institution was
locate dat Lake Junaluska.
In a nutshell the whole proposition
as this, that the system of the
town should be extended so that it
will not be emptied into Lake Juna-
luska, thereby polluting the waters
there.
There was no dissent at the mass
meeting held in Waynesville at which
this vas agreed upon a sthe right and
proper thing to do. There will be no
dissent now. There is danger, how
ever that our people may be indiffer-
ent on the subject and therefore fail
to provide the bonds for the improve
rIent.
The Southern Assembly is a part of
Waynesville. Already it has added to
me fame of this town and attracted
here thousands who before knew not
that there was such a place on the
map In the years to come it will be
an asset vel increasing in value to
Waynesville. From a purely selfish
standpoint, therefore, the people of
W~aynesville have everything to gain
n cooperating to make Lake Junalus-
ka and it's surroundings as beautiful
as possible.
On the moral side of the question
the town is bound to do this thing
that was promised. The contract that
was made perhaps would not hold in
& court of law. but the town is NOR
ally bound by its terms, and must full
fill them.
Entirely aside from the effect on
Lake Junaluska the proposed extern
sion of the sewer system means that
the needs o fthe town will be thus
cared for through many years to come
and a problem that will face the town
as it grows will have heen settled
There a be no argument a sto the
need of the improvements, and the is
suance of bonds / sthe only way to get
them.-Waynesville Courier.

fertile. They are excellent farmers,
and keep abreast with the times.
They are exceedingly kind and hos
Pitable. 1t was the happy privilege
or h writer to be entertained in the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Floyd Nicholson,
and his stay in this home is a delight
memory.
1t was Our pleasure Friday morning
to run up the river valley to Calvert
and take dinner with Misses Mary and
Victoria Galloway, and look over the
wonderful property of the Orphanage.
Like the Queen of Sheba, we were not
quite prepared for the vision that
greeted our eyes. For a mile or more
the valley stretches along the French
Broad as level as the plains of the
east. There is hardly a more beauti-
full farm in that beautiful country
than that which these devoted sisters
have given to the Orphanage. They
are happy in the gift they have made
a sthey have every reason to be, for
their names will be forever linked to
an institution that will live and grow
through the coming years.
How much wiser this disposition of
this great property than to have left
Ii to unthankful relatives to scramble
over when they are in their graves!
Through their good works they will
ZIP humanity through future ages.
Though dead they will be speaking to
generations yet unborn.
Miss Mary Galloway is a great bust
ness woman who rises at 4 O'CLOCK
and sees after the feeding Of the stock,
milking the cows, ETC.; Miss Victoria
is the Martha of the household and Is
careful about the domestic affairs.
Their brother whose memory they
cherish, died a year or two ago. This
family bears a striking resemblance
tC that at Bethany.
Just across the river in plain view
is the residence of the venerable F. M.
Jordan. than whom no living mar
bears a nobler record Of faithful SER
vice to the denomination.

To Help Women.

The establishment of a branch of the
department of farm women, probably
will be undertaken by Secretary Hous-
ton in the near future. The secretary
recently sent out broadcast to farm
ers wives and daughters a letter ask
ing how the department could be OF
help to them. Replies are now COM
ing in every mail. In the past, said
Mr.. Houston, the department devoted
all it's attention to lettering the crops
Now it hopes to develop the human

after he has taken a Treatment to send
us an unfortunate friend. Such was
the case last week.
Two years ago n patient came to US
from away up in Franklin county. He
was successfully treated, and think of
it, after two years he sends us one of
his best friends to treat We are as
proud of having saved that man as he
is. and we know he is grateful to US
when he recommends our treatment to
his friends.
The man who drinks to excess needs
medical attention as badly as the VIC

and the Neal Treatment is the greatest

that the government in Australia has

HIGH SCHOOL DANCES.
Principal Stuart Sends Explanatory
Letter to Parents of Students.

The following letter, recently sent
ont by Principal Herman H. Stuart of
the Cony High school to the parents
of the pupils. fully explains the posi-
ton the school will take regarding The
dances given during the winter by the
young people of the city:
owing to the fact that frequent in
quiries have been made relatives to
dances purported to have been given
under the auspices of the cony High
school. | am taking this means of
bringing Ia YOU, attention the exact
position Of the High school with ref
erence to these so-called High school
dances
IAN dances given with the approval
of the school authorities, with the eX-
ception Of the annual ChizZle Wizzle
ball. are held in the Assembly hall, at
the High school building and are in
yariably held on a night when there is
no school on the following day. They
are under the direct supervision of the
teachers of the High school and the
attendance is made up largely of High
school pupils. They close at 10 o'clock.
The other dances spoken of as High
school dances because of the number
of High school pupils present, and held
i'm the various halls throughout the
CITY. have no connection whatever
with the High school.
"The dances conducted by the Beta
Phi ard the Psi Omega girls clubs
ore in no way connected with the
school. although the name of the school
is often enormously connected with
them.
THE purpose Of this letter is To MAKE
it clear to parents where ana uhaef
what auspices they may expect iiish
school dances to he conducted, ana also
to free the High school from any re-
sponsibi!lty arising from dances ever
which it has no control
