School Term
City Board Resolution Is
Addressed to County
Commissioners
ACTION BASED ON
AMENDED STATUTE

A resolution requesting the call.
ing of a special election in the
Hendersonville school district to
determine whether the school year
shall be extended from eight to
nine months will be presented at
once to the board of county COM
missioners, R. P. Freeze, city
school board chairman, said this
morning.
The resolution was approved
this morning by the county board
of education and, after favorable
action by the board of commits
sioners, will be sent with the or
der for an election to the state
school commission for final en-
dorsement.
The 1885 legislature removed
the legal restriction against the
holding of school elections for
supplemental purposes in units in
financial default, and specified
that such elections shall be held
and the extra taxes collected by
the county administration in cases
where the boundaries of the city
school administrative unit extend
beyond the city limits. The city
school unit here was enlarged in
July, 1888, to include consider
able outside territory whose resi-
dents had previously been paying
tuition to send children to the city
schools.
The attorney general has ruled
that calling of an election Is man.
datory when requested by the
city and county boards of educa-
ton. The extra tax would apply
only to property within the city
school unit boundaries.
Mr.. Freeze pointed out this
morning that if a nine-months'
school term is not held here, the
Hendersonville high school will be
removed from the accredited list
of the Southern Association of
Secondary Schools and Colleges,
This would mean that academic
credits of pupils of the local
schools transferring to accredited
schools elsewhere would not be &C.
cepted, thus subjecting the pupil
to an examination, and that local
high school graduates attempting
to enter colleges elsewhere would
not be accepted on the basis OF
! the credits earned here.
Several city school adminlstra-
tive units throughout the state
have already voted supplemental
tax for a nine-months school, sew
eral others are preparing to vote
and many others are planning the
same action.
The resolution as approved thl;

.MOUZ0N HEARD
BY FASSIFERN
SENIOR CLASS
Baccalaureate Sermon De.
livered Sunday A. M. at
Methodist Church

Seventeen members of the SEN
Tor class of Fassifern School for
Girls will receive diplomas from
the institution in the graduating
exercises at the school auditorium
tonight.
The address to the graduates
will be delivered by the Rev.
Lewis N. Taylor of Columbia, S.
C.
Baccalaureate services were
held yesterday morning at IL
o'clock at the First M. E. church,
and the sermon was delivered by
Bishop Edwin D. Hiouzon, of Char
lotte, senior Bishop of the Meth
odist Episcopal Church, South.
Taking his text from Jeremiah
1888 and 4: 81 went down to the
potter's house, and, behold he
wrought a work on the wheels.
And the vessel that he made of
clay was marred in the hands OF
the potter: so he made it again,
another vessel, as seemed good to
the potter to make it."
Bishop Mouzon delivered a pow
kereul Sermon to the graduates and
congregation.
The time referred to by Jere-
miah, Bishop Mouzon said, was at
that period when Babylon and
Egypt were contending for SUI
premacy. Judah was buffer be-
tween the two nations and was
constantly crossed by the warning
armies of the two nations. 1t
could be only a short time until
Judah fell to one or the other OF
the two nations. The moral
stamina was weakened by sin and
the kingdom was torn by discord'
God is the great potter and the
nations are clay in his hands, the
Bishop said. The lesson Jeremiah
teaches from this text is that Ju,
dab was in Gods hands as are all
the nations, and is history. Jere'
miah did not arrive at his conclu'
sion by observation but by faith
| We can see God in history, in the
history of Rome, giving US law; OF
Greece. giving art; of the He
brews, giving religion, and OF the
contribution of all nations. -,
And we dare believe, he said
THAT God is as truly present today
as He was then. In the presen,
confusion God is present and vii

Within this larger truth, thai
God is in the destinies of nations
