before the ceremony and the suItor went

awful battle was fought between the peo-

night with the chief defeated sadly. De

Text Books are More Suggestive.

Text books to-day are more sugges-
tive than comprehensive. They are
intended to suggest questions to the
minds of the pupils, so that pupils
must not be content with thorough
mastery of the text. If the textbooks
do not suggest practical questions
they should not be in the school but
when they do suggest questions to
the minds of the pupils, they should
be answered.
That pupils can get as far as the
High School and not know the differ
ence between field of growing wheat
and field of growing rye is not so
much the fault of our schools as it is a
disgrace to our pupils. Pupils must
learn to keep their eyes and ears open
to the sights and minds about them,
and thus learn to apply the knowledge
obtained from books to life as it ex-
lists. The general characteristics of
shade trees and fruit trees should be
acquired by all pupils before they
pass the fourth grade in our schools.
Pupils do not connect their studies
With practical life They study frac-
tions and interest but when asked to
give the cost of eight pints of milk at
five and one-half cents a quart or the
interest on one hundred dollars for
sixty days they are at losss how to
proceed. They can do those examples
very quickly if they find them in a
text book, but because they are prac-
tical they do not recognize the fact
that their theory will help them solve
the problems.

COLUMN OF INTEREST TO
SMYRNA PUBLIC SCHOOLS
PAPER 1.-THE RELATION OF THE PUPIL TO
THE SCHOOL" BY Mr.. BURDETTE.
Pupils Must Show a Willingness to Receive
the Information Given in the School and
to Make Practical Use of it.

While the schOol-board, Larents and
teachers are tempted to lose sight of
the fact that the school is for the
pupil and not the pupil for the school.
the pupil on the other hand feels that
he exists for the school. AS a result
he early learns to look upon the school
as some lmpersonal object whose verv
existence depends upon him. And
then he will play truant and long for
vacations that he may get away from
school, forgetting that he is depen-
dent upon the school for the power to
exist III the truest sense of the word.
Pupils must early imbibe this spirit
or the school cannot do them the most
good nor the good intended.
There must also be on the part of
the pupil willingness to receive the
information given in the school. The
teacher may instruct aud direct the
energies of the pupils but unless they
bring willingness with them the ef-
forts Of the teachers will be in vain.
Pupils cannot be too early taught that
whatever they are in this life or the
life to come will depend solely upon
their wills. Unless they are willing
they cannot be aided by God or man.
And again, each pupil will get out
of the school only 50 much as he puts
into it. Teaching is not a pouring in
to process like water poured into a
bucket What pupils get will come
from efforts put forth by themselves.
The pupil who is faithful IN each dav's
work may not be able to recite with
the brilliant pupil but unless the
bright pupil sticks to the work the
faithful but dull pnpil will win in the
end. The race ''is not unto the swift
nor unto the strong but they that en-
dure unto the end"
Pupils must also depend upon them
selves and not look to be helped con
tlnually by the teachers or some pupil.
As common doddes has lost its
bright green strong color from long
years OF dependence upon other plants
for sustenance and dies as soon as
what it grows upon dies, so pupils
who are always depending upon others
weaken their own powers of thought
and fail as soon as their source Of
help is removed.
Pupils very early get into their
minds. that they are needed in the
world to help in the great struggle of
life. They forget that the world is
waiting for thoroughly trained minds
and hearts. Andg when pupils realize
the necessity o4 thorough training
they ask the question how can this be
done best and quickest? The answer
is found in the relation of the pupil to
the public school. The pupil must be
willing to receive the instruction given,
mnst put forth every effort possible,
and finally must rely upon himself
and the preparation for lifes work
will be sure but slow.
Smyrna times., 1902-06-11
Practical Lessons to be Drawn.

Pupils must connect their studies
with practical life or they will not get
the most out of them. The study of
reading if it does not help the pupil to
grasp the written thought of others is
a failure. History must suggest re-
lations existing between the past and
the present, Latin must give a better
knowledge of English as we'll as the
training that comes from the work
necessary to learn it. Add so on with
every lesson putsued6der Re is close

Chattanooga, Tenn, Sept. s.
Chattanooga paid its respects tt
President Roosevelt today, and
the presence of 10000 visitors
from many parts of the state
helped to make the occasion 3
memorable one. The president
came to attend the biennial con,
vention of the Brotherhood O.
LOGON olive Firemep. and his ad-
dress was the feature of the
opening session. The presiden-
tial party was escorted to the
convention hall by the eth Cav
airy and detachments Of the To-
Cal military companies. The
route Was lined with spectators
who waved hats and hankerchiefs
and kept up continuous volley
OF cheers. Arriving at the hall
the distinguished visitor found
it packed from floor to ceiling,
hundreds of visitors being pres
ent in addition to the 800 or more
delegates to the convention ano
their ladies'. Occupying seats OF.
the platform were the officers OF
the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Firemen, the mayor and Other
officials Of ihe city of Chattanoo-
ga, and a number of other per.
sons of prominence. After
prayer and music the president
was introduc to the assembly
by Grand Master E. P. Sargent.
The president was greeted will
enthusiastic cheers when h.
arose to make his address. Th'
address Was devoted largely to d
eulogy Of the conservative Labor
organizations and to a review OF
industrial questions. The presi'
dent also paid a high compliment
toGrand Master Sargant and con-
cluded his remarks by thanking
the people of Chattanooga TO,
their cordial reception on the oc
casion Of this, his first visit.
The president attended the ex
ecutive session this morning and
a motion to confer an honorary
membership in the Brotherhood
of Locomotive Firemen on hin
was made by delegate McNorre
of Columbus, Ohio, democratic
member of the legislature: ane
unanimously adopted by Il risinf
vote amid great cheering. Th'
president thanked the convention
and was then delivered a pass
which admits HIM to all meeting'
of the brotherhood. The conven
ton then adjourned.

that they are not getting the
necessary shipping facilities, and
that when cars are secured and
loaded, they are not taken out
ana delivered as promptly as
they should be. Speaking of
this subject to the Piayune re-
p rter, Mr.. A. M. Arthur, buyer
for the National Rice Milling Co. =,
said: s'The rice shippers from
Jennings certainly have a right
to make complaint of the service
given them by the Southern Pa
cific railroad. Some time age
the commercial league of Jen-
nings took up the matter OF
svi ching facilities with the Off
cials of the road, who promised
them at that time speedy relief
md, all the faci,ities for the move
ment of both rough and clean
rice and oil. The company did
make some efforts towards
furnishing facilitiesifor the hand
ling of Oil shipments, but has
done nothing whatever towards
helping out the rice men. Last
week there were cars of rice
loaded and paid for standing or
the track for two and three days
without being moved. Thesamt
complaint is applicable to cars
loaded Yesterday. 1t seems thai
the Southern Pacific Company,
knowing the growing needs Of
shipping facilities here, would
make provisi IN for the handling

has scarcely commenced yet, and

A GRAND
SUCCESS.
Labor Day Exercises Was
Much Better Than
Expected.

Considering that this year of
1902, was the first year in which
Jenningsites attempted to get up
a Labor Day celebration, it can
certainly be pronounced a sue.
cess, and as many people ex-
pressed it by saying, "t'ar bet
ter than l expected. "
The program as published in
previous issues of the RECORD
was carried out with one or two
exceptions. The exercises at
she tent was largely attended,
and was filled to overhowing.
Elegant and forcible addresses
ouching on labor topics were de.
uvered by the Revs. Gonzales
md Patterson, and last but not
east the humorous recitations
by Alba Haywood were much en-
joyed, and drought down the
house." E. A. Damon of the
painters union acted as chair
man of the meeting.
Speaking of the parade, it was
certainly an elegant display, and
many compliments were be-
slowed upon the business men of
Jennings for this their first at
tempt at anything of this kind,
and in this connection the diff
terent trade unions of our city
| are deserving of praise for the
| energy they displayed in making
It such a grand success.
All of the floats were nicely
decorated, and arranged in such
a way as to display the various
business enterprises OF the town.
The parade formed at the
school house, and at 2:3O p. m.
moved in the following order:
Carriage with speakers, car
penters wearing white aprons,
engineers wearing blue jeans,
painters wearing white jackets
and trousers, a carpenters float
which was a miniature house.
The Jennings band was out in
line and furnished series OF
nice selected pieces for the oc-
casion.
