and care for the interest of an educa-
tional institution. When men have not
even PRIMARY education, the out
look for the school under their manage
ment is not very bright.

And foolish notion. -
2. FINANCIAL BACKING. Here
an established school has an advantage.
When you enter the first class of new
school, especially one without strong
financial backing, there is no guarantee
that you will receive the entire course
of four terms of five months each. Sup
pose you pay your money and the school
discontinues? You lose your money,
you lose your time, ard waste your
prospects.
3. EQUIPMENT. The new school has
no equipment whatever, and a little
rented dwelling house What proba-
bility is there that you will be furn-
i b ID adequate equipment in the differ
ent departments Equipments cost
money-lots of money-thousands of
dollars. More dollars than class of
twenty or twenty-five will bring.
4. FACULTY. Not always does
new school have the list they advertise
under employment. Not always are
they able to retain these men through
out the two years. and the student
would be very foolish to enter any new
school simply upon the published fac
ulty unless he had evidence that al
these teachers were under contract for
at least two years and that there was
sufficient money in sight to pay them
for their services. 1t is extremely
doubtful whether the new school which
publishes a large faculty can SECURE
and RETAIN the services of the
same or not. Suppose you investigate
this point carefully. demanding 10 see

What are the Advantages of an Old
School.

/. ESTABLISHED REPUTATION.
The Southern School of Osteopathy is
the oldest and the only recognized and
reputable school in the South.
2. EQUIPMENT. Equipment OF
the school is largely matter of years
and the expenditure of large sums of
money. The Southern School possesses
the largest equipment in proportion to
the number of students in attendance
of any college of Osteopathy.
3. BUILDING. We possess one of the
largest Osteopathic college buildings,
1t is adequate to our needs. 1t was de-
signed and erected solely for the pur-
pose of teaching and practicing Osteop'
athy. No other building would be ade.
quate to our school purposes.
T. FACULTY. Here again the
Southern School of Oestopahy has the
advantage of other schools. A careful
comparison of the members of our fac
ulty with the members of the faculties
of other osteopathic institutions dem
onstrates how far we are ahead of al
other schools in this regard.
5. COURSE OF STUDY. In this.
also, our institution excels. The ex
perience of the medical and Osteopath
ic colleges has been drawn upon in the
selection of subjects and the arrange.
ment of the course

Final Advice.

If you decide it is wise to enter a
little local, untried Institution, let us
advise you not to put any money in It
and to give your note specifying clearly
that if the school does not continue
two years, if it does not maintain
first class faculty. if it does not pro-
vide an equal equipment to that OF
other existing institutions, and If II
does not obtain membership in the As
ISOLATED Colleges, that your note is to
be null and void and not to be col
lected. This is your ONLY SAFE
GUARD. and certainly if the schools
strong financially and is able to exist
and make a success, it CAN AFFORD
to give you THESE TERMS.
Do not invest YOUR MONEY in tn
itlon unless it be in an old established
institution that will certainly give you
value received. This is sensible, rea-
sonable, Just. Amy other course woulu
not be prudent and may result in loss.

plicate any and every proposition made

THE REFoRMER's PLATFORM.

Under the above caption the Maury
Democrat of this week contains the fol-
lowing editorial, to which the Herald
wishes to give its unqualified endorse
ment;
THE reform movement, as will be
seen by the account elsewhere, at Tues
day nights mass meeting made for
ward launch. which opens actively the
campaign for the November munic-
ipal election. Law, Order and
Economy in Municipal Affairs is the
platform, and it cannot be made too
clear to the citizens Of Columbia of all
predictions that such u platform
rightly carried out and interpreted is
for the best interest Of everybody.
'Favoritism should cut no figure in
this election; it should be an issue of
the law abiding against the lawless
temperance against the whiskey traffic
and the saloon evil, reform taxation
and right, battling against wrong and
evil doing.
"Then why should not every good
citizen with the welfare of self, home,
family, church and town at heart,
and who wants nothing but an upright,
moral, temperate community, fall into
line?
The issue in the contest is purely one
of morals and good government, and
those who do sincerely want such gov
eminent should lay aside personal dis.
likes, political prejudice and partisan.
ship to obtain it. This paper has nc
choice of men, just so they are good
men and of the right stamp. Ask your
self the question which of the tickets
to be presented for the consideration OF
the voters of Columbia represents the
principles of law, order, temperance
and the reform of the. saloon evil, then
vote and work increasingly.
1.-The Democrat would not be guilty
of knowingly persuading or attempting
to decoy honest people into the support
of men or measures not worthy of sup
port, but it does appeal to the people
to defeat the profigate and keep down
lawlessness by supporting the hones
and law abiding.

A FEW QUESTIONS
For Students of OsteOpathy.

A young man or woman can make
no mistake in entering Osteopathy,
but serious mistake can be made in
the selection of a college of Osteopathy.

sents reasons why the student should
select the school. We want to aid the
prospective students of Columbia and
Maury County to wisely decide this
question.

AN OBJECT LESSON.

IhlS is true story, ana worthy OF
all acceptation. 1t is not copied from
the Sunday school books, but tells of
the actual experience of young man
now living and not hundred miles
from Columbia.
He was the assistant postmaster in a
country postofiice. He was poor, and
yet in his teens. He had neither father
nor mother nor kith nor kin to rely up
on. but per force of circumstances must
rely upon his daily labor for his daily
bread He started life-his business
life penniless, and considering his
opportunities and environments had
done we'll TO hold his own.
But he had proven himself valuable
assistant to his chief, and had job at
living wages and one that he was aux
ious to keep as the little town was
rapidly growing in wealth and business
and importance. and the hope of pro-
motion beckoned him on.
All went smoothly on for time, but,
as in the lives of all other young men
80 in the life of this one there came a
great temptation. The little town up
TO now had had no Sunday trains; the
little postoffice had had no Sunday mail !;
the hero of our story had had no Sun
day work. But there comes a change.
The Sunday trains those common des-
ecrators of the Sabbath day invaded
the quiet of this country town. And
they brought with them mail of course
The people had progressed SO suddenly
and rapidly that they could not wait
until Monday to read the stock reports.
So the postmaster said to the assistant
"You must come to the Office tomor-
row, Sunday and open the mail and
keep the Office open for an hour, for the
convenience Of the public. -
II am sorry to hear that" said the
young man l enjoy attending Sunday

does not approve of Sunday work. .
SIT is all right to attend Sunday
school and church, said the postmas-
ter, "but business before pleasure, and
you should not cultivate too tender OF
sensitive conscience. "
But" replied the young man, "all
unnecessary work on the Sabbath day
