EDUCATIONAL ADVANTAGES.
Risk Of Infection; Immunity
& Disease; No Ground for
tuberculosis Fright.
Editor crat:

That mine kills many germs,
tnat ozone kills many others, and that
the combination of sunshine and ozone
with the ef1uyia of pine trees aud
ether of natures healing balsams as
found around Hendersonville, will
kill most any disease germ, is fact
SO notorious that family physicians
the country over are sending conva-
descent patients, and rundown" men
and women. and weakly children to
Hendersolville, because they know
that here their patients will run the
least possible risk of infection from
lny disease, an important condition
to one whose weakened resistance
would make a disease possibly fatal
In which place would your intelli
gence tell you that you were the more
likely to contract disease (e. G tu-
berculosis) viz: the place in which a
I,atient does actually contract it, or
the place to which they are sent to
recover? There would probably be
less chance of contracting tubercu-
losis in Hendersonville with it's sun
shine and pure air, if Hendersonvilie
we're one vast sanatorium filled with
tubercular people-which it is not
than in any less favored cline with
only one tubercular person in it. In
Hendersonville too, there are strict
laws, rigidly enforced, conditioning
and regulating people afflicted with
tuberculosis. Our people have been
very hard on these afflicted people
for whom l think we ought to hold
this climate as a trust-in cOnse-
quence of which we have fewer tub.r-
cular people here in spite of our eli
nate than the average town of our
size If one wants practical immun-
ity from the chance of contracting tu-
berculosis let him come and live in
Hendersonville.
1t is because of this condition that
we have at last walked up to the ne
cessity of having good schools right
here in Hendersonville where We can
send our children without risk to
their health. For this reason also
people; living in less favored climes,
especially in the low-lands, will, Il
wise, send their children to be edu-
Gated in Hendersonville now that we
have boarding schools for both boys
aud girls equal to any in the country
aEd better than most.
This So evident advantage OF Hen
dersonville over. other places for
health-producing conditions, especial
ly to growing children at time when
they most need just such conditions
Eor their efficient development; has
become SO well known the country
over that three large private schools
CFassifern for girls and Blue Ridge
and Fleet for boys) will open here this
autumn. Besides these there are two
other well established and well known
girl schools and one commercial col
lcge seeking good locations here!
Then let us rejoice that we are now
able to keep our children at home to
educate where we, who have long
lived here, know they are safe. And
SO let us all help and pull Sngethe-
to make our schools the best in the
country. X. N. WIAACOA.

~ opposed to holding any political party
responsible for the opinions and acts of
its individual members, or holding any
individual public official or candidate re-
sponsiblc for the action of his party
majority on the question of woman
suffrage"
Miss Kate Gordon of New orleans de-
manded that the meaning Of the resolu-
ton be clearly ,Xplained. The National
association during the past year" she
said, sent out statements that certain
congressman We're 'unaltcrably opposed
to suffrage. IT was found they We're
opposed to "A federal amendment, but not
