FROM JEFFERSON COUNTY.
The schools ut Messy Creek, New Market
and cambridge.
EDITORS CHRONICLE :

EDITORS CHRONICLE
Knowing that your columns are always
free for the advancement of the education
al interests of our country, 1 venture TO
write of the schools of Jefferson county,
and will, as opportunities offer, have
something to write Of other counties.
The interest in the subject is growing
more manifest, and the desire for higher
and broader culture more earnest.
The county superintendent and direc-
tors fully understand and recognize the
fact that other forms of government
may be upheld by educated classes but
that educated masses are necessary for the
support and perpetuity of a republic.
Rev. n. i. Goforth is President Of
the Messy Creek College, assisted by
Professor William Russell and Rev. G. l..
Bowling. Prof. w. A. G. Brown is Prin-
,cipal of the Masonic Female Institute.
These schools are at Messy Creek. They
are growing in influence and efficiency,
and occupy the highest place in the affec-
tons of the people. They labor for the i'm
provement of their pupils, and to start
them in their upward career. They I'M
derstand the high aims of education, and
exercise broad and comprehensive views
in their attainment The training is thor
ough and practical. In fact. know of no
schools where it is more thorough. No one
can visit these schools, who has any appre-
citation whatever of the labors of the faith
full instructor, without being impressed
with the truth-priceless privileges arc here
enjoyed.
Prof. A. S. Caldwell, near Strawberry
Plains, is n successful teacher, and fully
merits the large patronage his school en-
joys. He has the confidence and support
of an appreciative public. Mr.. Samuel
Johnson, and Mrs. Mary Pierce, at New
Market, are experienced teachers, and are
succeeding well. Capt. Holtsinger and
Mrs. Hines are teaching at cambridge.
There is material enough at cambridge for
q first class high school, and, from all we
could learn, the people will see that theil
children shall enjoy liberal educational
advantages. There are number of small
er schools in different parts of the county
These schools should be feeders to the
schools at Messy Creek, the educationa
center of the county.
At Messy Creek, the normal, or teach
ers' class, is very important feature OF the
schools. Pupils are prepared in discipline
and teaching, so that when they leave the
schools they can enter other schools a.
teachers, having been previously trained
to that end. In this the schools at Messy
Creek have advantages not surpassed bJ
any schools in East Tennessee.
In this state of encouraging affairs, whit
does not see the additional and great ad
vantage of uniformity in the schools o
the county with the same series of schoo
books. The Directors OF the county SHOULD
see that il is done.
What applies to Jefferson county on thi
question of q uniform series of schoC
books applies TO every county. 1t apple

The Council of United Friends of Tenn
perance at this place is increasing its MEM
bership with wonderful rapidity. At the
present rate it will not be long until the
hall, although very large one, will not be
sufficient to contain them. 1t has been
demonstrated to the satisfaction Of all that
this organization is, for many reasons,
superior to all others.
A library association has just been form
ed here. Although its beginning is smaller
than its importance and advantages would
justify us in believing that IT would have
been, the leaders are by no means dis
couraged The officers are men of untiring
energy, and are sure to do what they have
undertaken. In short time, doubtless
they will secure good collection of books
