TAzEWELL SCHOOLS

aStic year calls attention to the
merits of our home institutions
While here and there are those
prepared for and seeking tho ad
vantagcs of the highly equipped
colleges and universities, there is
nothing lacking in our own com.
Inunlty for the sure advancement
of the great body of the youth OF
the county and section.
TAZEWELL HIGH SCHOOL
has been i'll operation with vary.
ing success for many years. 1t is
to this school that those desirng
the benefit of the public school
fund must look. This school fund,
however, is too meagro to induce
the employment of n first class
faculty, so that it bchoovcs those
desiring good management of tho
public school department. to see
that the high school department. is
kept up to tho point at which good
talent may be secured. To allow
the school to depend upon the
public appropriation to any great
extent is to destroy in o great
measure it's usefulness. The com.
munity must assist the State that
both may get the best returns.-
The faculty for tho present term is
well recommended and will no
doubt do its part with fidelity. The
principal, who is chiefly interested,
is satisfied with his assistants. The
session begins Sept. 0. The school
will havo graded, public, music
and boarding departments.
TAZEwELL FEMALE SEMINARY,
less local in its character, for its
growing reputation is drawing pa.
tronage from large section, will
be in session again Sept. 0. This
institution, exclusively for girls, is
an absolute necessity for which
there can be no substitute. In
drawing its patronage largely from
distance it makes itself useful to
every business man near it, to say
nothing of 1T aS All adornment tO
the county and az safe place for
the cultivation of its young women
with the continued support OF
public approval it will grow to
equal i'll prestige that Of any other
Virginia college as it does already
in many Of lis advantages. Every
year sees new improvements OF
the management to bcautify and
make more commodious and at
tractivo the college home. Com.
munity pride should call forth a
word Of praise for this institution
on every occasion.
TAZEWELL COLLEGE
has yet TO make its reputation az
ter beginning its first session Oct.
!. Here again the community
must take the initiative along with
the management before the out.
side world can be attracted. AS
long as n people acts heartily for
itself it can draw co-woriers.-
Aside from its educational use, a
male college here can in measure
fill the place Of an industrial plant
that never came. For business, IL
temporary increase OF population
is better than none at all. This
enterprise has met with unusual
so far. The invest
ment should be mode to pay in the
way Of ;he town and county's all
vancement.
These three arc the institutions
that call first for present and
hearty appreciation. Then, to car
ry out the idea Of some that this is
only the beginning of o movement
to make this an educational cen.
ter" attention may bo turned to
tho encouragement Of movements
now considering for the founding
of three schools. The Holston Con.
ference of the NJ. Il. Church, South,
has been canvassing the matter OF
two schools, a male and O female,
in tho Clnch Valley, with strong
inclination to Tazewell G. II. az
tho most desirable point. The
Baptist church has thought Of a
