CITY GRADED SCHOOL.

A city Or community has no i'll
stitution in which it should take
greater pride than in It's schools.
But in order to merit this pridethe
schools must make themselves
worthy and be able to adequately
meet the needs of those to be
served.
Hendersonville recently erected
a modern public school building in
which it has great pride, but with
a big increase in the enrolment of
pupils from year to year the pres
ent quarters will soon be made
quate. But it is not of this that
the Democrat here would speak
but of the pressing need of in
creased teaching facilities. The
Democrat is informed that at pres
ent for two grades of the public
school the enrolment exceeds the
eating capacity of the school room
and that while two extra teachers
are necessary it is well nigh i'm
posslble to cope with the present
situation and render the best OF
service without the addition OF
another teacher for the school.
The demands of the public
school are growing to meet the
needs occasioned by rapidly
changing conditions from year tx
year and it is well that the citi
zens of Hendersonville begin t,

OUR INDUSTRIES.

1t is with joy and satisfaction
unconfned that we are able tore
cord another industry for Hender-
sonville. The news columns will
tell the story of rapidly chang
ing sentiment in regard to indus
tries in Hendersonville. The time
was when Hendersonville thought
as little of opening it's gates to
mills as the country people
thought of paying taxes for road
improvement, and that was a very
sad state of affairs.
The Democrat has preached in
dustries both in and out of season
and we shall continue in this line
Of effort until there is a complete
change Of heart. The tourist bus.
mess is fine stuff, but that supple.
mented with industries would
make Hendersonville a veritablt
paradise.
Better farming, more co-opera
ton among our people and indus
tries with an ever-increasing tour
lst patronage is to be Henderson
county's salvation, the making O.
this community the nations e
Dorado.

THE FARM DEMONSTRATION.

Were we TO De1aDOr QUIZ DIeAii
for a week we would not be able
to sum UP our sentiments in re-
gard to the recall of the farm
demonstration to better Satlsfac-
ton than Mr.. Ewbank has done IN
his able and sensible contribution
elsewhere in the Democrat.
It is a pity, a shame, even de-
plorable that we have reached
that stage in our agricultural pro-
gress when we slide down hill at
a disastrous speed. There is great
depression, encouragement, even
disgust and chagrin throughou:
the county ever the action OF the
county commissioners.
We do not feel disposed to cen
sure or criticise the commission
ers for this gigantic blunder for
we do not know whether they are
altogether responsible for the mis-
take or whether it is chargeable
partly to the scheming of few
people who do not know what Is
best for themselves, to say nothing
of their neighbors and community.
There is certain element whom
it will not do to trust with affairs
who no doubt Influenced the COM
missioners to take this course for
we would hate to think or admit
that the guardians Of the county's
funds would act altogether on
their initiative with such poor
Judgment in a matter Of such great
At any rate, costly blunder
has been made, and for what rea-
son we know not. If the commits
sioners or their advisers think the
county hasn't sufficient funds to
continue this demonstration work
they are sadly mistaken for the
reason that we can i'll afford to
neglect our agricultural interests
as we are doing when we with
draw from the governments, CO.
operation.
If politics or misguided judg-
ment as to the demonstration RS
ability has influenced the COM
missioners, well enough. Let them
act in good faith and discharge
the government s stamp ofapprov-
upon them and secure a govern
ment demonstration whose politics
and efficiency measure up to the
standard of those who hold it
within their power to say what
type Of demonstration shall be en-
ployed.
The Democrat has been led to
believe that the county would
make no mistake in employing Mr..
Perkins, but we are not particular
about the man or his politics just
he is a demonstration agent with
the government stamp of approx
al on his ability.
AS Mr.. Ewbank says, the people
of the county should discuss this
matter together and see to it that
Henderson county does not &c
backward for want of farm dem.
onstrator, whom to do without we
can not well afford.
