A. 7. S. Has Modern
Water Supply System
25O,OOO Gallon Tank Takes Care of
all Present Needs of the School
Plant-Other Notes.

The Appalachian Training School
has been entertained at chapel exer-
cises recently by talk from Prof.
j. A. Williams on the great project
at Stone Mountain in Georgia COM
memmorating the heroes of the Sou
tern confederacy. Prof. Logan has
been read; ing Enoch Arden in sections
for the entertainment of the student
body. Also quite a number of bas-
ket ball games have been engaged in
$or the past few days. Both the young
ladies and the young mems teams
went to Lenoir on Friday where the
former played the team of Daven-
port College and the latter played
the home town team. In both these
games the Training School teams
came out second best. In the school
Gymnasium there have been several
contests between the different class
es and the results were various.
Some of the enterprises of the
Training School begun several years
ago have been greatly enlarged and
improved, some made entirely new.
This latter is especially true of the
water system. Quite a number of
years ago they inaugurated a small
system by piping few small springs
from the side of Howafd's Knob,
which served the purpose of the schol
for several years. A few years ago
the state appropriated funds for a
new system. In constructing this sys-
TEN number of springs were pur-
chased on the side of Rich Mountain
some three miles distant. These were
cemented so that no surface water
could get into them and all were pip
ed to a tank on the side of the noun
tain and from there by large flume
the water was carried to tank of
250,O00 gallons capacity located OH
q high ridge far above the town and
school. From this latter large pipe
lines run throughout the school
grounds This plant is fof tie school
alone and will furnish an ample sup
ply of pure mountain water for the
use of the school in it's fullest devel-
opment for years to come.
