conquered" Never before was it
known that there were so many all
ing people in Newberry, city and
county. Since his visit here there
are more mind readers than have
ever dwelt in this city in the history
of Newberry, and Mr.. Fuller Bull,
who was here at the beginning Of the
professors work, is still Tin our
;; midst" prolonging his visit.
When any one approaches another
here now and says he wants to ask q
question, Immediately the other fell
low says, "Faith Doctor?" But as
there are always two sides to a ques-
ton, we wish to say, among other
things, that Mr.. Clarence Hutchinson
treceiyed a letter last week from Mr..
Chas. ". Sigh of Whitmire, telling
of q visit to Prof. Cody. at Clinton,
which helped him "a whole lot.
Mr.. Sigh had been unable to walk
without crutches for six years. After
his trip to Clinton he discarded his
crutches and in his letter tells Mr..
! Hutchinson he "is still walking with
out them," and that if he keeps on
improving he thinks he will be well
before Thanksgiving. (Lots of peo-
ple are looking forward to Thanks
giving.)
During his stay in this city the
psychologist told a lady that one year
ago that very day she had been crltl-
cally i'll, describing her trouble min
utely, which the lady said was true
in every particular. He told young
lady that she had been troubled with
her complaint since she was very
young girl, which was correct. There
were a great many instances OF ms
remarkable "insight," or whatever
you may wish to call it All of this and
more. coupled with the opinion of
many good citizens who have faith
in the "healer," kept US from being
as severe as "a Conscientious OBJ

Cody may after all be what a
great many other equally good cltl-
zens on the other hand think he is,
but if he can do people any good by
exercising his strange influence over
them, let him do the good he can
accomplish. The people who give
him money are among those who
spend in other ways. Some OF those
who object to the cash he takes away
are among the number who object
to circus or carnival coming here
because it takes money from the

MAKING HOMES FOR
SCHOOL TEACHERS
By Edwin R. Bentley, Superintendent
71 rnf p,,hlic Schools IN tgl.

oy EtuWlU n. DSIlLlcyS 0OpCAAlGSA4OCAAS
of Public Schools h
Exhorbitant prices and uncomfort-
able living quarters do not exist to
lessen the classroom efficiency Of the
teachers Of McAllen, Texas. The city
Board of Education has just finished
the erection of teachers club that
will house 80 teachers and furnish
meals at cost to as many more.
McAllen is in thriving orange
and grapefruit region, and the town
is growing by leaps and bounds. The
cost of living accommodations has in
creased until board and lodging can
scarcely be had, even at the prevailing
prices, which range from $50 to $40
per month. The teachers were natur-
ally affected, both by the high costs
and by the discomforts which many of
them had to endure. The Board of
Education realized not only that the
schools would suffer from decreased
efficiency of the teachers, but that the
board itself would inevitably have to
meet the greater costs by larger sal
aries. .;s -
Their remedy for the difficulty was
to rent and furnish an old hotel build
ing, and allow the teachers to live in
it during the winter Of 1920 on the
cooperative plan. The experiment
was successful, and the cost of room
and board was reduced to $40 per
month for each teacher. The con-
struction of the club house was the
logical outcome. :
Out Of a bond issue of 500, 900, the
sum of $35, 900 was set aside, and with
it a handsome brick building of the
Spanish hollow court type was con-
structed. 5
The building is complete in every
detail, and is SO arranged that it can
be easily enlarged by extending the
wings down the side of the court. Ev-
cry room is an outside room. There
are bedrooms for 80 teachers, ser
wants room, hostess-manager's room,
four bath rooms, kitchen, large din
ing room, reception room and lobby
with tile floor, an elegant parlor, and
five reened-in- porches, four of them
being on the court Every bedroom
has running water, sbuilt-in dressing
table, dresser, and large clothes
closet. The furnishings throughout are
in keeping with the excellence Of the

ployed at salary Of 81, 800 for II
building.
months. She will have complete
charge, and is accountable only to the
superintendent. The incumbent has
had experience as dietitian, and for
number of years was dean of stu
dents in one of the states largest city
high schools.
A rental will be charged to each
roomer, which though reasonable will
largely take care of the interest and
sinking fund on the bonds, and in the
course of 40 years will nearly pay for
the building. The school district will
not pay any considerable STUN Of
money on the project. Although the
dining room will not be conducted
on the cooperative basis, the meals
will be furnished.
McAllen has more teachers than the
building will house, but some live in
the town and others prefer to have
their rooms elsewhere and to take
their meals at the club. The accom-.
modations will be enlarged as the de-
mand dictates. It is entirely optional
with the individual teacher whether
she lives in the club or not.
