Their bodies, almost skeletons,

American Education Week" is
being appropriately observed in

this week.
In practically everyone of the
schools, special chapel programs,

THE whole state is interested in
education, in childhood and youth
and in the proper training and in
struction of all the children in the

towns will supplement this fund.
The basic thought and purpose of
the whole educational system is thc
development of a better order of
society, the improvement of living
conditions among all the people,
the equipment of the students for
the serious duties of life and the
implanting of ideals which shall re-
suit in a higher standard of intelli-
gence and efficiency and in the es-
tablishment of character, and int
gritty upon which to build great
human success" Gov. Clyde Hoey

Principals To
Meet Wed. Night

A meeting of all Ashe county
school principals will be held to-
night, Wednesday, at 1880 o'clock,
in the Superintendent Office in the
courthouse at Jefferson to discuss
several important matters, Supt.
J. B. Hash announced early in the
week.
On of the chief topics for discus
sion will be the athletic program
for the winter months, Mr.. Hash
said. The Appalachian basketball
schedule has already been >; an
nouncd and at the meeting, Z. the
school officials will determine just
how many additional schedules will
be played.
The proposed plan of organizing
a four-county School-Master's club
will also be discussed. The sugges-
ton has been made that the school
administrators in Ashe, Allegheny,
Watauga and Wilkes county perfect
such an organization and that meet
ings be held every quarter. Here
to-fore such organizations have
been confined largely to individual
counties and it is believed that a
our-county club would be splen-
did thing. Principals and superin-
te11dents in the other three counties
are said to be interested in the idea.
Besides these discussions, various
administrative problems Will be
taken up.
