Invest towns in the State along educa-
tional lines; instead we hear vague
rumors concernin7: the closing of the
high school for another year. The
idea of such a thing happening in a
town of 1000! 1t is unbelievable.
1t is an indisputablc fact that the
school tax in Hendersonille is less
than one half the per cent paid liz
other towns of the same size, at even
towns from n to two thousand less
population. Why not wake I'D, pa

aries?

possible for the keen minded man with

ahead without education, and rise to
the highest rung of the ladder of sue
cess. But today it is the man or wo-

however worthy, is left h~opelessly be-

CRITICIZES THE ACTION OF
THE BOARD OF ALDERMEN,
Editor Hustler:

Editor Hustler:
1t was with satisfaction, not un-
mixed with a certain feeling Of regret
that 1 noted the letter printed by the
Hustler last week signed "One Inter
ested in Children" Satisfaction to
find that at last there is someone in
terested enough to come out boldly
and show the lack OF cooperation be-
tween the town authorities and the
school. Regret that there has been
any action on the part of the authori-
ties to call forth Il Iet@t~ CT this kind.
The High School play was given,
hot for any benefit the caste would de-
rive from 1t, but to get funds OF which
the school stands badly in need and
which the depleted treasury cannot
supply. 1t seems hard that the town
officials should deem it necessary to
charge a very considerable fee for the
use OF the town Hall from the boys and
girls who had spent eight long weeks,
in hard work, cheerrully giving up
their leisure hours in order TO benefit,
not themselves. but the school, the
public mStftutfm of the town. This
too, when the building was to be used
but for n night and in no way con-
ficted with any opportunity of
revenue.
One might .ask-To- whom does the
auditorium belong? Is it not to the
patrons of the school, the tax payers,
of the tewn? And why should the
children be compelled to pay for the
use of the property belonging to their
parents? 1t would seem that for a
resort town, where every asset should
be considered, the powers that be"
show too little interest in the work
ings of the publis .chools, assuredly
the greatest asset of any community

SPENDING A TOWNS MONEY.
Cleveland Chose Her Public Schools
for Getting Greatest Returns.

If you were the mayor or a member
of the board of aldermen of a city or
town and a large sum of money were
left that town, what would you spend
it for? This was the question that
Cleveland, Ohio, was recently called
on to answer. A wealthy manufacture
er, Mr.. Frederick A. Golf by name,
turned over to that town a magnificent
sum to be used for whatever it thought
best. A board of trustees was
straightway appointed who, made a
study of community conditions to find
out what were the greatest needs and
wherein would come the greatest re-
turns. The consensus of opinion was
that the public schools was the object
for which they were looking. Conse-
quently. a thorough scientific survey
by an expert sociOlOgist was ordered
made of the schools.
One phase of this survey was a
study of health conditions to discover
the needs that would safeguard school
children from disease and render them
healthier. happier and more vigorous
in the future. Among the activities
recommended the following are of
special Importance:
Medical school inspection for. the
prevention of contagious diseases and
for the discovery and cure of remedial
BILE nhysical defects.
Dental inspection for the purpose
of securing sound teeth.
"Open-air schools for giving to the
physical weak such advantages of pure
air. good food and warm sunshine as
NAV enable them to pursue their
studies while regaining their health.
Special classes and schools for the
physical handicapped and mentally ex-
ceptional that they may receive the
caro- and instruction flied to their
needs.

ton end recreation go hand in hand
