NORTH CAROLINA STUDENTS
WILL TAKE TRAINING
Sign Petition Agreeing to Take Course
Under COMPETENT Officer-NOt
Obligated to the Government.

A petition in behalf of military
training has recently been circulated
among the students of the University
of NoEth Carolina. In case 100 men
ask fdr this special, training the gov
ernm9nt will send an army officer to
the university to act as head of the
department of military training. The
students enrolled will receive credit
toward graduation just as in any other
course. The university will receive a
certain sum Of money from the gov
eminent each year to help defray the
costs of this new course.
Three hundred and fourteen stu
dents signed the petition, which reads
as fololws:
"We, the undersigned, desire to
take a course in military training in
this university.
'1t is our understanding that more
than three hours a week will not be
required; that such a course will be
similar to those now given in the uni
versities, such as Pennsylvania; and
that membership in such training
unit does not bind us to the govern
ment in any legal form.
I'm signing we do not commit our
selves. should the schedule OF work
seriously affect our present work, or
should the burden of expense prove
too great"
According to the last report of the
house on increasing the efficiency OF
the military establishment of the Uni
ted States it is provided that the pres
ident, upon application may establish
one or more units in the institution.
provided that an officer of the army
be detailed as professor of military
science; and. that the institution main
tain a minimum of 100 students un-
der military instruction.
The course must cover two years. 1t
may be either elective or compulsory.
1t must be prerequisite for gradua-
ton in the case of those students who
have entered it.
The course, which is to be pre-
scribed by the secretary of war, and
adopted into the curriculum of the
institution must average at least three
hours per week, during the academic
year.
The secretary of war may, as he
sess fit. issue arms, uniforms and
equipment.
sGraduates of this course may be ap-
pointed to the position of second lieu
tenant in the regular army for a
period of six months special training.
The agitation for military training
at the university is the outgroWth OF
enthusiasm which several Carolina
students got at the Plattsburg train
ing camp last summer. A number OF
students have resolved into commit
tee with the determination Of carry
ing the new plan through.

CITY SCHOOL
INADEQUATE
If Enrolment Increased as in the
Past High School Classes Must
Be Eliminated Tor Space.
MUST HAVE INCREASE TAXES.

The present enrolment of the Hen
dersonville public school is now about
six hundred, or a total enrolment OF
sixty more than there were enrolled
at this time last year. At the present
tine every room in the building is oc-
cupied, and one room in the base
ament is being used for commercial
and laboratory work. Also there are
now in attendance an average of
fotry-two pupils per teacher. This is
true even after having added one
extra literary teacher this year. The
question now is, what are we going
to do next year? This question is rem
dered especially pertinent when we
are confronted by the fact that the
present school session must be short
ened or else the Board Of Trustees
will be compelled to borrow money
to extend the school term it's usual
length.
In answer to the above question
the only possible solution, with the
present Finances, is to abolish the high
school. use the three rooms thus made
vacant for divisions of the grammar
grades, and use the money now being
paid to high school teachers to en-
ploy additional teachers for the pri-
mary and intermediate grades. This
would render the people of the town
depenent upon Fassifern, Blue Ridge,
Fruitland, Mills River and Flat Rock,
and other similar schools, for high
school training. Besides, it would
cause the town to lose $1,000 a year
which is now being donated by the
STATE and county in order that there
may be a central high school in the
county which will be open, without
cost, to the children of the county
OF course what l said above is based
on the supposition that the population
Of Hendersonville will increase in the
future-or rather next year-as fast
as it has in the past. That being true,
we are confronted by the grim facts
as stated above 1t would be useless
TO speak of renting rooms, or d room,
would not have the money to pay the
rent and to hire teacher.
Probably it should be stated for the
benefit of the public that several of
the present corps OF teachers are here
this year only for the reason that
the Board of Trustees promised, if the
money was available, to increase their
salaries next year. Furthermore. the
possibility of an increase in the rate
of taxation so as to make the money
available was held out to them in an
encouraging and hopeful way.
There is only one remedy for this
situation, and that remedy is to vote
an increase in the rate of taxation of
20 cents on the $1OO valuation. This
should be done at the regular election
next May.

MILLION TO BE SPENT BY
SOUTHERN AT HAYNE YARD

In improving the freight yard at
Hayne, the Southern Railway juno
ton in Spartanburg, the Southern
Railway company will spend during
the year not less than $650,000, and
this will probably be extended into. a
million before the year is over. The
Improvements are zmade necessary,
according to officials of the company,
because Of the fact that the freight
business has increased at the juno
ton from day to day, and the road is
no longer able to handle it.

EPORT MADE
Condition Found to be in Good Shape
Money Needed to Buy x-Ray
Apparatus.
LADIES HAVE AIDED.

In publishing the report of the Pat.
ton Memorial Hospital for the past
year. it might not be amiss to call the
attention of he public to this most
worthy institution:
The hospital was built and equipped
through the efforts of the Hospital AS
sociation of Hendersonville. The
building is of brick and stone, de-
signed and built for the purpose for
which it is devoted. 1t is steam heat
ed and electrically lighted and fully
equipped with all modern sanitary
improvements. 1t has accommoda-
tions at the present time for twenty
patients.
There are two wards, one for male
and one for female patients. There
are eight private rooms, two of these
being fitted with private baths; also
wards OF colored people. 1t has a
modern operating room and sterliZing
apparatus.
A hospital jim this day and genera
ton, is not only necessity for the
proper care of the sick in every COM
munity, but the absence of one is con-
sidered a serious reflection upon the
intelligence and the generosity of its
citizens
500 much credit cannot be given
to the ladies of HendersOnville, Flat
Rock and Fletchers for their arduous
work and untiring energy in bring
ing to a successful realization this
most essential and creditable institu-
ton.
II is hoped that the publication of
AIG will
ther stimulate the good people of the
city and county to become more
yitaIlp interested and furthermore
lend their support, personally, morally
and financially in aid of this most
worthy cause. While the association
feels a just pride in what 1t has al
ready accomplished there yet re-
mains much to be done to bring our
nospftaf to a higher efficiency and
service. as we believe, that the best
modern science has TO give is none
too good for the poorest of our peo-
pie. The association hopes to install
this year a much needed elevator and
dumb-waiter system so that meals
may be served quicker and in a more
appetising condition.
A very urgent need in the surgical
department is an X-ray apparatus,
and it is hoped that an interest can
be stimulated and an organized effort
instituted among the friends of the
hospital and other kindly disposed
persons so that this very valuable
equipment be ad,led to our hospital,
and that our patients will not be put
to the expense and inconvience Of
having to go to AsheviIIe for this
service.
