Aa article headed "a Primary Vanderbilt
School at Mt. Pleasant" published in the
HERALD two weeks ago, should have appear
ed in the shape OF a communication, and sign
ed by the initials of the writer. That was
not his fault, however, but our Cversi ght,
The gentleman who wrote it is a citizen OF
Mt Pleasant, and the sentiments in the sTti-
Gle are his and not ours We knew nothing
of the facts about which he wrote. Of one
thing we are assured, hOwever-hi5 intention
was only to inspire the people Of his town to
further efforts in behalf of the Vanderbilt
school, which pro nIses to BE- q blessing, not
only to the "Garden Spot of the World, but
also to the entire county The people of Sit
Pleasant have proved that they are the most
enterprislng and liberal community in the
county, inasmuch they got up the largest
subscription for a school edifice, and thereby
secured the location Of the Columbia District
School. But while the people OF our sister
town have made liberal sUhsCrDtiUn they
should remember that the larger they make it
the greater will be success and influence Of
the school. If they erect a fine building, and
place irst-cass teachers in it, it viii become
one of the leading high schools in Tennessee,
if not in advance of all of them. 1t is Just
the locality for a first-class male school
health, beauty of climate and scenery, fertili-
ty of soil, scclusion from the gross tempta-
tons of cities and towns; cultivated, inteili-
gent and moral people,-all these it has,
