Madison The Principal Speaker; Musical Numbers In Keeping With Program. The Community Life Club gave a splendid patriotic program at its regular meeting, Thursday afternoon, July 3rd, in the Graded School auditorium, and, in spite of the downpour of rain, there was a large crow'd present. The principal feature of the program was an address by Prof. R. L. Madison, who spoke on the subject, "Why And What Children Should Be Taught With A View Of Making Them Patriotic." Prof. Madison stated that an element of degeneracy has entered the modern celebration of Independence Day. He advocated that a return be made to the old time observance of the country's natal day, such as he was accustomed to witnessing at the Virginia Military Institute, near which he was reared. One cannot begin too early to instill patriotism in the child. At an early age he should he imbibed with the spirit of the great heroes who sacrificed their lives for love of country and the principles for which they fought. In the schools, stated Prof. Madison, the child should learn the story and the meaning of the American flag, the history of the old Liberty Bell, and the impressive flag salute. Though these are but signs and tokens, they make a lasting impression on young minds.

Walter E. Moore Is Honored by Cullowhee From The Plow And The Carpenter's Plane To The Gavel Of Masonic Grand Master And Speaker Of The State Legislature; Life Sketch Of A Distinguished And Successful Citizen. The June issue of The Yodel carried an account of the dedication of the Walter E. Moore Dormitory for girls, the elegant dnd commodious new structure recently completed and. furnished at a cost of nearly a quarter million dollars.
