pelintenent Of Schools. I

The old time idea that any one
could teach school or be a coun:
ty superintendent OF public in
struction is decidedly. out OF date.
The scrap heap IS the proper and
fitting place for it. The State Of
North Carolina maintains tn e
University and a half dozen nor
NAL and training schools and
the colleges of the State main
tain educational departments,
all of which give courses in teach.
ing. A number OF them offer spe-
cial courses in administration
and supervision of schools for
men who are to become .princi'
pals, superintendent, and coun-
ty superintendent. The object OF
all this, of course, is to prepare
men to. take charge ofcounty ed
ucational work who can devote
all their time to it and who un-
derstand what their real work is.
On the face OF it, it would seem
that the county which employs
a superintendent for only part
time, and which employs TO r
this Job a man trained to do
some other work, is following q
plan that leads away from, rath-
er than towards, a constructive
educational policy for it's people.

The Conference Of the people Oi
Watauga County at the Septem-
ber meeting appointed a G ood
Roads Committee composed OF
two members from each town
ship. On the first Monday in Oc-
tober the committee met at the
court house and appointed q
subcommittee to draft a roa d
law'for the county to be submit
ted through the representative
to the Legislature. The Secreta'
ry Of the Confeence was instruc.
ted to secure such information as
he could for the use Of the CON-
mittee. Among others, he wrote
to- the Director OF the United
States Office OF Public Roads.
The result was an offer to send
an engineer to inspect the roads,
and the resources of the county
in order that the Office might ad.
wise intelligently. The County
commissioners were appealed to;
the formalapplication was made,
and the engineer will be here some
time within the next week. The
committee meets again n e X
Monday. Every township should
be represented. Let every school
district in the county organize a
GOOD Roads Association on next
Friday, and elect one,,aelegate to
attend the meeting on Monday.

Big BRITISH SNIP svlwAax BLOWN Up.

Sherness, England, via. Lon
don, Nov. 26.-The British bat
tleship Bulwark was destroyed
bv an explosion as she lay off
here early today. There are only
fourteen survivors from the crew
OF 700 or 500 men aboard.
The explosion is believed to
have occurred in her forward
magazine. Whether it was caused
by accident or design is a ques-
ton to be determined by a com.
mission appointed to investigate.
In the opinion of naval men it
was an internal explosion that
put. an end to the battleship
which for twelve years has done
service at home and abroad and
lately had been guarding Eng
lands shores, There was no great
upheaval OF water such as would
have occurred il she had been
torpedoed or struck by a mine.
Instead the ship was en- veloped
in smoke and flame, and W h 9 n
this had cleared nothing could
be seen but wreckage floating on
the water.
Houses in towns seven @ n d
eight miles, away were shaken by
the explosion and even before
men on ships anchored nearby
could reach their own decks the
Bulwark had disappeared. The
cea was strewn with wreckage,
! while pieces Of ship were thrown
six or seven miles on the Essex
, shore.
Considering the size ofhernavy
Great Britain has been singular
ly free from disasters OF this char.
acter. Nevertheless, when h e
French warship Jena was des.
troyed by an internal explosion
in 1907 all cordite ammunition
was taken from all the British
ships and carefully examined. Re-
frigirators were installed in the
ships to keep the powder cool.
The Bulwark which was one ol
the older battleships, cost 1, ,OO0,'
600 pounds sterling ($5, ,O0O,'
OOO.)

The love of q mother is never
exhausted; it never changes; it
never tires. A father may turn
his back on his child, brothers
and sisters may become inveter-
ate enemies, husbands may de-
sert their wives and wives their

endures through all; in good re-
pute, in the face of the worlds
condemnation, a mother still
loves on, and still hopes that her

NSWb huu UU00sN0E
Prof D. b. Dougherty OF Boone,
former Judge w. B. Council of
Hickory and Mr.. W. j. Grandin,
receiver Of the Watauga and Yad
kin River Railway have returned
to their homes after a conference
with the Governor and Council
OF State regarding additional con
victs to be furnished by the State
in aiding in the construction of
the Watauga & Yadkin River
Railway, now being built from
North Wilkesboro to Boone.
The road is aready completed
to Darby, some twenty miles a.
bove North Wilkesboro and both
freight and passenger trains are
being operated.
Some weeks ago the company
was placed in the hands Of a re-
ceiver but it is claimed that this
was done merely to conserve the
interests OF the stockholders and
creditors for the time being and
that the construction of the road
will be pushed to a asuccessfulcQm.
pletion.
At present there are Sc convicts
employed by the road, furnished
by the state, and the company
has asked for an additional SO
men. The Council OF State deci.
ded to allot these extra convicts
and they will be sent there as
quick as the work on the Hickory
Nut Gap turnpike is finished, the
men being transferred from there
to North Wilkesboro. 1t is
thought that the convicts will be
available as soon as the road
can provide quarters for them.
1t is the intention OF the own.
ers of the railroad to push the
work right ahead and they hope
to have it completed to Boone,
the highest county seat towneast
OF the Mississippi River, some
time next summer.
The new road is opening up a
country whose development has
long been retarded and once the
whistle of the iron horse is heard
in that section it is destined to
become one of the richest spots
to be found in North Carolina.
