A VISIT TO The
APPALACHIAN
TRAINING SCHOOL

On Wednesday morning last we
got aboard the ALI Coward Special
at CulloWhee and started for Sylvia
where we changed cars for Ashe-
vile. After spending a delightful half
day and night in that city. we left
at 7:1O Thursday morning for Hick-
DRY, where we spent a pleasant hour
waiting for the Carolina and North
Western, which was to take us to
LenOir. We arrived at the last named
charming little city a little after
noon.
Soon we were in the hack" and
off for Boone, thirty-five miles dis
tant. The road was in fair condition
considering the severe weather of
recent weeks, and we put behind us
sixteen miles of the journey the first
day. We stayed all night" with Mr..
Bolack, about seven miles south of
Blowing Rock.
Early next morning our genial
driver was ready and we began
again the ascent of the mountain.
Towards noon we struck the snow.
We were so cold that we were COM
PEELED to walk great deal. At last
we came to the top, where the snow
was about three inches deep and the
wind was blowing a terrific gale. In
spite OF all our efforts the wind liter
ally blew through us. We tried to
fasten quilts to the sides and top of
the hack, but we could do but little
against the fury of that snowladen

hurricane. After battling with the
storm Tor. about an hour and a-half
we came to big store with a great
Dig stove with great big fire in it.
lhere we stayed until we were
thaWed out. We bought us a 'fasci.
nator apiece and stated on the
last ten miles of the trip.
The difficulties of the iournev
were forgotten, however, when we
drew up in front of the school build
ings and were cordially greeted by
superintendent Daugherty and sew
eral of the professors and Students
Immediately we were conducted to
delightful homes where blazing fires
and smiling faces awaited us. Later
we were shown about the school
property. The Appalachian Training
School proved to be even more than
we expected, although glowing re-
ports had been made to us concern
ing it. A large library, a nicely equi-
pped chemical labratory, an inter.
estlng physical la Jratory, numerous
spacious recitation rooms, lecture
rooms, offices and a large auditori-
um are some of the interesting feat
ures of the schools equipment.
The grounds have been laid off by a
landscape gardner and graded.
Pretty terraces. grass, and gravel
walks a id greatly to the appearance
of the grounds. There are two large
dormitOries.
The superintendent and those
associated with him have put into
the school a great deal of fine
thought and self sacrifice, the re-
suits of which are seen in the pres
ent prosperous and growing condit-
ion of the institution. The school
owns about 500 acres of land, which

Village, in the heart of Wataues
county, 1888 feet above sea leye
and 'hlrty-fve miles from Lenoir
Inc nearest railroad point is more
than twenty miles away. Yet, Boone
is a charming place in which to live
and boasts of hospitable, loyal,
enthusiastic people. The community
and surrounding country seem to
appreciate their school and are faith
ful supporters of the institution.
We had no desire to get away
from Boone. When the big two horse
covered wagon, drawn by four fine
mules the property of the school
rolled up in front of the admins
tration building, we took as long as
we could to say "Good-by." Our re-
turn trip was made especially de-
llghtful by reason of the fact that
Miss Brown, a member of the fac
ulty a I'd most charming young
lady, accompanied us.
After spending the night at Lenoir,
we went next day to Hickory where
we met Prof. Brown, of Boone, and
the debaters who came with him to
Cullowhee. They informed us that
the eagle of victory had perched up
on their banners at Cullowhee. So,
the contest was a tie.
Upon our return home Monday
we were given great ovation. Bon
fires and speeches broke upon the
night air, mingled with yells and
cheers. Our successful debatets were
carried around the community on
the shoulders of others and the un- |
successful ones were toasted and
praised for the splendid fight they
had made and the happy manner
in which they bore defeat. |

Club Women
Honor Leader

Los Angeles, Nov. 11.-A shadow
lies upon the bright circle of club
dom, for Madame Caroline M. Sew
erance, known and beloved by hun-
dreds of Los Angeles clubwomen as
a personal friend, and president emer-
titus Of innumerable loyal hearts that
owe their hope and help to her, lies
at rest in her home, Ell Nido, West
Adams street.
Although not unexpected, the end
came as a shock to many, for the
marvelously recuperative powers Of
the dauntless spirit in Madame Sew
erance had long carried frail body
through danger, and although nearly
95 years of age the wonderful woman
was fully capable of receiving her
friends until almost the last week.
ClubWomen throughout Los Ange-
les will gather in reverent sympathy
at the funeral of the woman they
have known for many years as "the
mother of clubs,' and many express
sions of sorrow already have been
received by the relatives, Seymour
Severance of San Francisco, Mark
Sibley Severance of San Bernardino
and Miss c. NJ. Severance, niece, who
were at the bedside when the shadow
fell.
No arrangements have yet been
completed for the funeral, but it is
possible that the Friday Morning
Club, which was founded by Madame
Severance, will offer its clubhouse as
a temporary resting place should the
plan meet with the approval of her
sons.
Flowers will be sent by Ebell club
and resolutions Of sympathy will be
passed by the board tomorrow morn

Will Make Campaign
For a Larger Navy

"The Navy League believes that the
United States navy will form part
of the future international navy,
which will make obligatory interna-
tional arbitration and make Hague
conventions and treaties, as well as
the DEGREES of the proposed interna-
tional court of arbitral justice, eff
fective. It is safe for the United
States to have the strongest navy,
because that navy is entirely con-
trolled by the people themselves and
their representatives, and can never
be controlled by military or naval
clique"

ing and by the club next Monday.
The following delegation of close
friends of Madame Severance will at
tend the funeral representing Ebell
club, Mrs. F. W. King, Mrs. Sumner
P. Hunt, Mrs. J. E. Cowles, Mrs. Will
liam L. Jones and Madam r. B. Ash
ley.
Known throughout the realm of
clubdom in the United States as "thc
mother of clubs" Madame Severance
was a pioneer of the year 1868, when
she founded and presided over the
New England Woman's Club of Bos-
ton, the first woman's club organiza-
tion in the country.
Always ready to help the troubled
mind to reassert its independence of
thought, she was in particular a
champion of the suffrage movement,
and was a close friend of Susan B.
Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton,
Lucy Stone, Charlotte Perkins Gil
man, Elizabeth B. Custer and many
others.
As public speaker Nine. Sever
ance was well known to many Of the
large organizations for women all
over the United States.
A letter writer of exceptional abil-
ity and charm, Madame Severance is
the author Of many priceless epistles
treasured by famous men and women
as well as by humble folk.
In 1875 she left Massachusetts for
California, where in this city she
founded in 1891 the Friday Morning
Club as a successor to other won
ans clubs which had lapsed into in
significance for want of a capable
leader.

RESERVE FIGHTING PLAN
OF SWISS IS. FAVORED

Philadelphia, Nov. 11-A powerful
plea that the United States adopt the
Swiss system of creating and main
tanning a large reserve fighting force
was made by Major General Leonard
Wood, chief of staff of the United
States army, before the Philadelphia
Medical Club.
By inaugurating the Swiss reserv-
list plan, General Wood said, the gov
ernment could develop an immense
reserve army with no danger of sad
ding the nation with a propaganda
of militarism.
He intimated that the United States
was not prepared to engage in war
with a first class power. He said
that the maximum mobilization of
trained fighting men in the Unite1
States was only 100000 men, and that
it would require $4,000 new officers
to command these men.
He stated that it would be impos
sible TO obtain that number of new
officers unless the army sought out
men in this country who have served
as officers in the Balkan and BoeI
wars.
Although General Wood did not
name Germany, it was interpreted by
his listeners that he had that coun-
try in mind when he said that ma
tions with systems of militarism were
not successful.
"Under modern conditions" he said,
"when wars come suddenly, unframed
men are not a military asset of the
first order. OF course patriotic Amer
leans would eagerly offer their lives
in case of need, but we want them to
give their lives effectively.
"The Swiss system is the best for
republic, and we could well afford
to copy that system. Our standing
army costs $12O,OOO,OOO a year, while
Imperial Valley press., 1914-11-11

the Swiss system costs only $6,000,-
600, and yet, on very short notice,
Switzerland can mobilize a trained
fighting force of 100000 men.
"The Swiss boys are given military
training in the public schools. The
training is so effective that when Il
boy graduates he becomes an expert
infantryman, with sixty-five addi-
tional days training; an expert ar
tillcryman, with eighty-tive days ad-
ditional training, and an expert cav
alryman with ninety days additional
training.
"All this is done without interfer-
ing with the economic career of the
young man. After his military train
ing is completed he keeps a uniform,
a musket and a railroad ticket to the
nearest mobilization point at his
home.
$50 We see that Switzerland has an
efficient fighting force without be-
ing Saddled with any form of mill
tarism."
General Wood suggested that the
army supply its need for efficient of
ficers by drawing upon the students
of military schools. He said that the
attendance at these military schools
totaled 10000 boys, and that 5000 of
them could be taken into the army
each year for one-year enlistments
under the heading of provisional lieu
tenants.
