BURkE'S GARDEN HIGH SCHOOL

Will open the first Thursday in
September with the full teaching
staff of an accredited four year High
School. =
For two years past Burke's Garden
school has been on the accredited
Junior High School list. Being only
partially satisfied with the standing
OF the school the progressive citizens
incident thereto, met Mt the school
building few weeks ago and decid-
ed that their Junior High School
should be promoted to the high stand
ard of a full pledged four year High.
The meeting was enthusiastic, and in
addition to taking this important
step it was decided that consolida-
tion of the four existing schools in
that locality should be the next inn
portant move. Accordingly, instead
OF the outlying schools being run as
heretofore, they will be merged into
the Burke's Garden High School dur
ing the coming session, thus increas-
ter.
A strong corps of teachers for the
regular high school and grade work
has been carefully selected. In addi-
lion, the Home Economics Depart
ment will be efficiently handled. by a
specially prepared teacher. The new
agricultural building is being adequa-
tely, equipped for more extended
work.
The farm forge shop and the farm
wood work shop are installing about
six hundred dollars worth of first
class equipment, and it is the, plan
OF the Agricultural Instructor to give
pupils taking Vocational Agricultur-
a. adequate training in the essen
tials of such iron and wood work as
is commonly done on the farm.
Vocational Agriculture under the
Smith Hughes plan, will be given IN
the following order:
FIRST year-Plant production.
Second d-year-Animal production
Third year-Horti4llture and farm
surveying. 'u -"' III
Fourth year-Farm Management
ana marketing farm products.
Ihese subjects will be covered nc
adequately as possible, and the farm
shops course us indicated above will
be given in addition. The instructor
IN agriculture is particularly anxious
TO enroll large enthusiastic class
the first Thursday in September. Any
pupil fourteen years old or above, or
any pupil entering upon the eighth
grade work will be eligible for this
training. Homes can be provided for
pupils living outside of Burle's Gard

UNITED DAUGHTERS OF THE
CONFEDERACY.

The annual business meeting of
the Tazewell Chapter, U. d. C's was
held at the residence of Mrs. S. G..
Graham on Tuesday afternoon with
good attendance. The following Of
ficers were elected for the coming
year: President, Mrs. Barnes Gill
lespie, Vice-president, Miss Lyde
Tynes; Secretary, Mrs. Chas. Jones; !;
Corresponding secretary, Miss Sallie
Mahood, Registrar, Mrs. Jesse Nc
Call; Treasurer, Miss Jessie O'Keeffe;
Historian, Mrs. George Martin; Gus
todian, Mrs. S. C. Graham. Mrs. Jno.
S. Bottimore was appointed delegate
to represent the chapter at the State
Convention of U. D. C's to be held
at Fredericksburg, early in October.
In order to increase the Chapters
funds with which to continue the good
work it has already undertaken and
if possible, to increase it's patriotic
activities, it was decided to give a
porch party, this Saturday afternoon
and evening from o'clock on ut the
High School building, when ice cream,
cake and candy will be served and. n
pleasant time is promised all those
who attend.
It is again urged that all ladies
who are entitled to be Daughters Of
the Confederacy, should join the chap
ter without further delay, as each
year makes it more difficult to prove
their claims and it is an honor which
surely no southern woman wants ITO
miss, nor does she want to fail in
doing her part towards preserving
the records of the noble men who
fought SO valiantly to preserve south
ern ideals and southern homes dur
ing the war between the States.
Resolutions OF Respect.
Whereas it has pleased God in his
wisdom to recall unto Himself two
of our charter members, who ever
since the establishment of the Taze-
well Chapter, U. D. C's have taken
a keen interest in its welfare and ac-
tivities;
Be it therefore resolved: That in
the deaths of Mrs. A. j. Tynes and
Mrs. Henry Bowen the chapter ha.
sustained great loss, that it here
by expresses its sincere sympathy to
the bereaved members of the two
families, to whom copy of these
resolutions shall be sent, and shall
also spread upon the minutes of the
chapter and published in the local
paper.-Mrs. VIM. H. Werth, Mrs. c.
