TIE LRGI8LAT1PE

The legislature has been in extra
session now eleven days, more than
one half Of the time allotted to them
in which to attend to the matters en-
bracod in the call and nothing has
been done, except to pass the appyo-
priation bill through the house. The
senate has done absolutely nothing.
On several days that body has re-
manned in session an hour or two,
discussing some resolution which WAS
Of no Importance to tie pcople Of
Tennessee and then adjourned until
the next. Nothing has been done so
far, and If any thing is done we will
be very agreeably surprised. In adj
dition to the revenue and approPrIa-
ton bills, which are Of the greatest
Importance. there ale there-disdricting
and registration bills which should be
acted on. We regard the former Of
the. two measures last named as Of
more Importance to the tax PAYERS Of
the state than the latter; as thousands
Of dollars can be saved to the states
Treasury year by year, by re-district-
ms the state and cutting down the
number Of circuit judges and chancol-
lors at least one hale Besides, the
state must be re-districtod now and
before the meeting Of an other legis-
lature, as new judges VIII be elected
next year. and when once in, their
salaries go on, even if tnelF Offices
are legislated outof existence,

The legislature, at its regular ses-
sion, appropriated 1923, coo IN aid OF
the charitable Institutions Of the
state. The bulk Of this will be usef
in building an insane asylum in West
Tennessee, and in completing the one
in course of construction in East Ton
nessee. This heavy appropriation is
extraordinary, and viii not be neces
sary again again.

Last night, at Kenosha, Wis, a
12-ycar old daughter Of John Surgess
fell iuto the uver and in media tely
sank beneath the surface. HRS. Sur
CESS Jumped IN to save her daughters
life. She struggled awhile and then
both disappeared; both mother and
child losing Their lies.

We have often wondered what the
republican editors Of SO called indie
pendent papers would have done for
something to write about It they had
not heard Of a ,.maohine7 somewhere,
supposed by them to have some con-
nection with democratic politics.

The republicans in the Tennessee
senate have announced their intention
of remaining in their seats until the

Mr.. Lewis, Of Henry county, intro~
duced a resolution in the house of
representatives at Nashville, a day or
two ago, to have a committee ap-
pointed Is investigate certain violations
OF the laws Of the state, in4he city Of
Memphis such as base ball playing
on Sunday, and the keeping open eff
gambling houses. No doubt the laws
upon the subject ofgambling are yio-
lated ia the city of Memphis, just rs
they are in every county town in the
state, but we Go not believe Memphis
is any worse, in this respect, than
other places in Tennessee, and we can
see no good reason for sngliog out
that city as the subject Of such an in
vestigat.0u. Tie moral and religious
Influences are as good in Memphis as
IN any city Of its size in Tennessee,
and its citizens are rs law.abidng. IF
the object of the Investigation is TO
lay grounds for impeaching the crjmi-
nal court Judge a. Memphis, and the
district attorney there, for allowing
open violation Of he laws in their jur-
isdiction, still it is unnecessary. as
the proper way to deal with those ct
fcials, if what Is said is true, is to
prefer charges and have them tried
upon articles of Impeachment at once.

The Teachers Institute of the Third
Judicial Districs will be held under the
supervision of State Superintendent
McElroy at Lafayette on March 3lst
and April let, 2nd and Sid. The
utility of these meetings of teachers is
no longer questioned by any except
few who have been unobservant of their
beneficial results, or few others who
feel that We should live aud do as our
forefathers did. The way, manner and
style of doing every thing else has radi-
cAlly changed in the last thirty years,
because great progress has been made
in the way of making Improvement in
these methods and ways, then why not
make improvements iu the methods of
teaching? What better way of evol-
wing and demonstrating the practica-
bility and utility Of new methods than
By calling large bodies of teachers to-
gether to afford an opportunity of criti-
cising and discussing these methods
thus drawing out their strong points for
adoption and their weak points for re-
lection. Teachers who haye determin-
Cd to make their profession a life work
would do we'll to avail themselves OF
the benefits of these meetings Here
everything should be shut out but the
subject cf theory and practice of tesch-
ing. Every teacher should make it a
leading objsc. to obtain some method
better than his own. All should be
willing aud ready to receive and adopt
tbs methods Of other teachers when
found to be better than their own.
Practical work in conducting recita-
tions, and general management of
schools should be leading,a intact only
Questions of discussion. Teachers should

tp0n these meetings. There must be a
Strong prevailing love 70 teach and cul-
tvate the mind of the young. Jealous
and never-tiring effort must be cheer
fully put forth to lead the minds of
pupils to think and reason. They must
be self-reliant and be imbued with .
reasonable degree of self-conidence.
Without these qualities no teacher
can succeed. The calling is at best a
hard irksome one, but continual success
relieves the calling of many Of its draw
backs.
