Western Carolina Democrat and French Broad hustler. [volume] (Hendersonville, N.C.) 1913-1915, 1915-01-28

The Democrat is pleased to learn
that the public is giving consideration
to the question of a city park and a
city hall. Opinions vary as to how
end where such should be.
Just keep talking and things will
come to a head at the proper time. Nc
need to make haste, continue discus
sion and sentiment will take its course
in due time and then the majority will
come to a decision and go after these
things in one accord.
Last week the Democrat called at
tention to what st. Petersburg, Fla,
was doing in this respect with eight
parks. Below we reproduce a letter
from DR.. John E. Ennis of st. Peters
burg touching upon the Importance of
city parks.
We take the liberty Of publishing
this letter, which was a personal one
to the editor:
Il have just returned from Will
lams park, which is one block from
our main street. We call it Cen
trail avenue.
"How I wish you could have
been with me and noted the enjoy
ment of thousands of our tourists.
"Our city band plays in the park
three times each week. 1t is one
of orr great attractions
eff you had such a park one
hundred tourist, or more, would
buy a home in your city the first
season, and the number would in
crease each yea I know two
families that I could induce to
place a large sum Of money with
you if they could see a progressive
movement started"

WESTERN TRAINING SCHOOL.

The Jackson County Journal is
Dumping on the proposed training
school for Western North Carolina
with both feet. Four years ago Hem
Jacksonville vas very busy in an effort
Ito land the proposed institution. This
year it is not doing anything. There
is no occasion to pull for the school
for n one locality until the legisla-
ture makes an appropriation.
The Journal is naturally interested
in the Jackson county institution,
Cu1Iowhee and if it can see where the
school would be crippled by another,
then its fight would be very plausible.
We are not well enough informed on
this subject to take sides, but we arc
ttcld that Cullowhee's influences killed
the bill two years ago. In order that
the Journals position may be made
Known we reproduce the recent edi-
tcrial:
I'VE notice that the question of es-
tablishing a Western North Carolina
Training school is again being agitat-
cd before the General Assembly and
that it has been recommended by Gov
ernor Craig.
The friends of the movement main
tain that the object of the school is 10
provide for the training of teachers
for the public schools Of the counties
comprising the three Congressional
districts of this section of the State.
They assert that the need of more eff
Gent teachers is imperative and that
the new school is intended to supply
this demand.
I'm it's issue of Monday, last, The
Asheville Citizen utilized some two
columns in giving news of this matter
and in ~discoursing at some length in
the effort to prove to the people of
Western North Carolina that the
school is needed and to show to the
friends of Boone and Cullowhee that
the new school would in no way in
terfere with those splendid institu-
lions.
The first question is, is it needed?
Would it be advisable for North Car
Gina to invest thousands of dollars in
a new school for this purpose. We
have already two such schools one at
-Cullowhee and one at Boone both of
which are institutions of a high class
and that have done and are doing ef1--I
GENTLY and effectively the very work
that is the object of the proposed es-
tablishment. They are located most
admirably for serving the greatest
number of young people of the terri
tory for those whose benefit the other
institution is proposed. By investing
in the two old schools a fraction of the
money that will be necessary for
building a plant for the new, the State
can accomplish the purpose more
speedily, more efficiently and at the
same time reach a larger number of
he young men and women who :

assert that the training school would
not in any way interfere with Cullo

Curriculum would he higher than that

between that given at Cullowhee and
Roone and the State Normal at Greens.
boro.
~But, this is impossible as there is
no middle grounds as Cullowhee fits
its students to enter the State Normal.
! ''The movement is to establish, in
the city of Asheville, at the expense OF
the State, a school that will compete
with the two splendid institutions that
we now have. The question is not g
new one. The friends of Boone AMI
Cullowhee have had to meet and COM
bat this blow at them before now They
are on the alert. They are ever watch
esui. The full import of this scheme is
an attempt to destroy the two most
important State institutions in Wes-
tern North Carolina and establish IN
their stead a new school in Buncombe,
for Buncombe, and in the interest OF
Buncombe, but at the expense OF the
State and to the detriment of the other
counties of Western North Carclini:.'
ct comes in the guise of a friend
and it's chief plea is that it would be a
benefactor to the counties of the west.
"Be not deceived. The people of the
west must be aroused, when they see
the thing as it really is, there will rise
an unanimous protest from the people
OF. the hills with the exception OF the
city of sheville and the territory i'm
mediately adjacent thereto.
unless the people wake up, its
goodbye Cullowhee, farewell Boone
hello Asheville."
Addressing the Waynesville Noun
in a later issue the Journal
1--WE would call the attention of the
Mountaineer to the fact that it will
be a long cold, day in the middle OF
August before that school will be es-
tablished at Waynesville or anywhere
outside the confines of Buncombe.
We would remind the Mountaineer that
purpose is to abolish Cullowhee
and Boone and combine the two in
one school in the city of Asheville.
When the Mountaineer sees the thing
as it is, we are convinced that excel
lent paper will agree with us that the
thing is foolish as we'll as un-
just"
The Watauga County Democrat
speaks up in this manner:
at is not our intention to criticise
he Governor in the least, but our
mind reverts to the time when he (the
as a candidate for guberna-
tcrial honors, in his speech in Boone,
spoke in the highest terms OF the
lamenting the fact that this
good county of ours was cut of from
communications, and promis-
.ng better prospects for both when he
vas elected Governor. The county
solidly for him he was elected,
and now, in his message, absolutely
overlooks the fact that such a school
IS in existence. Can it be that the
ghost of a Western Training school
or Buncombe, the Governors home
county has again bobbed up? Maybe
10. We await results, confidently ex-
that our rapidly growing
will suffer no harm at the
lands of the Legislature now in ses-
sion at Raleigh"

Perkins will be given larger audiences
over the county thar heretofore. We
would urge the farmers to get in

1t is high time to resume talk about
o county fair. The money was in sight
last year but the people couldn't agree
on some details and the whole talk
went under. We need a fair. Why
can't we have it? Somebody answer,
please.
If you intend to run a boarding
house this summer it would be profita-

the letter from Colonel Wood else
where in the Democrat.
"If a little rain has washed all the
sand off the roads why has it not
washed it all out of Mud creek dur
Ing these many years, where it can
now be found six feet deep?" emphat-

ton of the ~sand-washing agitators.
Respectfully referred to the high
brows.
In line with Mr.. Britt's address in
which he complimented Henderson
vile on its lay out years ago by a
foresighted people. we would add that
q Central park and City hall on that
large vacant Main street lot would
only serve to give the original plans
tie touch of perfection.
As will be seen in our news columns
some of our correspondents responded
to the call made last week for news
letters. but we regret to say that there
are others who have not let us hear
from them. Please forward the news
or notify us of your inability to do so.
Exactly what we would like to be,
but impossible, is what the State Jour
nal is seeking :"What we want is the
writer who sees the humor of the sit
uation when the payroll is to be me-
and the bank account is overdrawn:
when it's time to go to press and q
yard-stick of matter must be set up;
when the forms get pied when your
editorial gets noted that is gets a
rot in it, and the paper comes out
making you say exactly what you did
not say"

One of the first things an apprentice

other rule is that the copy hook is
