Every Home Coming event has
historical setting which adds
much to the occasion. This is
true at the Home Coming at Kee-
dysville, ending Sunday. Here
was the site of the first United
Brethren Church ever erected.
The denomination may be said to
have been born at a meeting held
in Longs barn, in Lancaster cOun-
ty, Pa, but the first meeting
pace at keedysville. The exact
location is in the graveyard
known as Mt. Hebron, about one
mile south OF keedysville. A de-
preston in the ground in the
southeastern part of the cemetery
shows where the first church was
located. The second church stood
across the road to the east of the
cemetery. Tradition has that this
church was made with floor
which was high in the rear and
sloped down to the pulpit. The
present church in the town is the
third church.
The issue of the Evening Globe
of June 3, 1903, has this in its
Timely Topics Tersely Treated"
column: THE man you quoted in
your Timely Topics column as
saying we had too many holidays
must be a miSer. remarked a
young man who holds a clerkship
We don't have too many holidays.
We don't have enough. We are
all OyerWOrked. People are living
too fast and if we had more holi-
days the evil would be in a meas
ure remedied All work and no
play'-you know the old saying
III wager the man who said we
had too many holidays would like
if he is a merchant, to keep his
store open on Sundays. People
would enjoy life more if they took
things more leisurely. This ter
rible rush and hurry and mental
strain is the curse of our civilian
ton. If the pace is kept up and
our holidays abolished, we will
all become victims of nervous
prostration." And this SO years
ago!

ing the needs of children living under
the present complex conditions.
The public schools must meet the
needs of young people of today. There
is no way to take the youth of today
out of the present pattern of living
and educate him under conditions
which have long since passed away. It
is difficult to realize how extensively
have been the changes with which
every teacher must be prepared to
deal in the present education of youth.
Clearly then, the present day teach
er must cultivate himself as a person
through extensive travel, wide contact
with other persons of varied interests,
indispensable books, and significant
plays, recitals, forum discussions and
the like. First hand experiences are
indispensable if the teacher is to
know about the natural world and
present social conditions. The re-
sources of museums, libraries, and
other public buildings must be known
by the teachers. First hand contacts
are needed to understand present in
dustrial life, communication problems,
and living conditions. The teacher
as a person must represent present
living.
With these requirements in mind,
it goes without saying that teachers
must have wide training outside of
their special subjects. Our schools

Mrs. Wright To
Speak To Rotary
Club Tonight
President of Legion Auxiliary
To Tell About Work Of
Her Organization.

Mrs. P. G. Wright, president of
the American Legion Auxiliary
unit in Ashe county, will be the
guest speaker at the Jeffersons
Rotary club tonight.
She is expected to discuss the
activities and to give a brief his
tory of her organization.
This is the third of a series of
programs arranged by Rotarian
Ira T. Johnston to acquaint the
members of the club with the &C
tivities of other clubs and organ
izations in the county that are al
so rendering civic services.
Last week Mrs. A. B. Hurt,
president of the West jefferson
Woman's Club, made an interest
ing and instructive talk on the
background, work and detectives
of the federated women's clubs.
She stated that the aims and
objects of her organization are
similar to those of the Rotary
club. ''In fact we are just about
like brothers and sisters and l
assure you that our club will be
glad to work with you at all
times to help make the Jeffer-
sons and Ashe county better and
more prosperous" she declared,
She stated that the Woman's
club movement started about SO
years ago. At first the main OBJ
ject was for social purposes, but
gradually the programs of indi-
vidual improvement and then CT
vic services were added, she ex-
planned.
Rotarian A. B. Hurt gave a re-
port on the district conference
held in Pinehurst and a motion
was passed to extend an invita-
ton to the new district governor
Rev. A. V. Gibson, to hold the
Assembly of the 188th. district ir
Ashe county in July.
1t was explained that thi!
would be a big boost for the 10
cal club and would give Asht
county some good advertising.
