nv SCHOOLS CLosEl
UNTIL DECEMBER 3oth.

In view of the fact that the Health
BOARD has closed churches and
..bools in the county for another
Soriod of two weeks with a high
probability that the time will be ex-
tonded even again, the Board of
trustees of the City Schools, in ses-
.ion Friday evening, November 22,
Iocided not to reopen the schools
ocain until December 80, which date
is Monday following Christmas
week.
Of course we all, board members,
faculty, parents, and pupils,-regret
that the school year has been so
broken into, but the situation has
come upon US unsolicited by our
solves and no one is to blame. We
IRE only in the class with many other
cities. towns, and communities, with
This exception, however, namely that
t5p epidemic of the malady in our
+ovn has thus far been milder than
in many other localities, and we
sbould appreciate this and be thank
fuL
Certainly the school work has been
seriously broken into, as well as al
most every other kind of business,
and all of us are concerned and in
terested to know just how the read.
iustments will be made. The plan
for making up the time and for the
promotions next Spring has not been
fully worked out yet, but, suffice il
to say at this time, the year will not
be lost to the pupils, and some prac-
teal scheme for making up the work
will be mapped out later and sub
mitted. Some cities expect to make
up by lengthening the school day.
others will have school on Saturdays
and still others that have been closed
will run late into the summer. Hen
deronville's plan, however, will be
adjusted to Hendersonville's condi.
tions, and when the plan is worked
out, all concerned, teachers, parents
and pupils, will cooperate to make
the year, though operated under dis.
advantages and discouragements
count for the greatest possible gooG
to all.

THE HUMAN SIDE OF ROYALTY.
w1TSa GsAE s66lGGaEal

King George of England together
with Queen Mary and the Princess
Mary, pay regular visits to the hospl-
tai wards in England and the King
seems always to be particularly inter-
ested in the young American soldiers
there. He does not visit the wards as
a ruling monarch of one of the great
est countries in the world; but as a
man full of human sympathy and in
terest for his fellow men. The Queen
and the Princess, also show kindly
concern and intelligent interest in
the hospital and all it provides for the
men who are wounded.
In a recent visit of King George to
the big military hospital at Dart
mouth he stopped at a number of Am
erican beds and asked kindly questions
of each occupant; telling one boy who
had lost his leg of the success he had
seen with artificial limbs, asking an
other how he managed to receive an
American newspaper Of a compare
lively recent date, and expressing his
qualification on being told that it was
sent by the Red Cross and had been
read by no less than thirty American
soldiers.
At the conclusion of the visit the
King paused and said collectively tC
the ward, Remember boys, if there is
anything we can do for you at any
time we just want to know it and we
shall take pleasure in doing it."
This seems, indeed, the real human
touch and coming from royalty it ap-
peals to even the most democratic
mind and meets a response in even
the democratic hearts Of our soldiers
overseas.
