Public School Library Benefit

The entertainment given last Fri
day evening under the auspices of
the Teachers Library Association,
in which appeared the American
society entertainer, Louis Spencer
Daniel, assisted by thirty young la
dies of the high school, was de.
cided success, and a handsome sun
was realized for the library. Mr.
Daniels impersonation of cole
Ash was irresistably humorous
and displayed a true conception O.

the Teachers Association. The
teachers were also pleasantly enter
tanned by talks from the County
Superintendent, Mr.. jim Moore,
and the Principal of the Union City
High School, Mr.. Burkitt.
1t was interesting to hear reports
from the different schools made by
the teachers from all over the coun-
ty, i'll answer to the roll call.
The programme was interspersed
with music rendered the high school
pupils; and mention in particular
a violin solo by Miss Dixon Sanding
and a song by the high grammar
pupils which were enjoyed thor
oughly.
And what / am sure all who were
present will call a great hit, was
when we marched by music to the
gymnasium and there found AT

mittee of Union City ladies, to whom

school and a chorus from the
grammar school were present by
invitation and materially assisted
in rendering a varied program.
An attractive feature of the morn
ing exercises was the speech OF Mr..
w. ]. Shelburn, who, in scholarly
and forcible words, showed that the
perpetuity OF prosperous common
wealth is dependent upon the main
tenance of a high grade of public
schools, and to maintain such
schools there are needed well-paid
and cultured teachers equal to all
social and civic demands.
At one thirty o'clock an elegant
dinner was served in the gymna-
stun by the ladies of the entertain
ment committee, of which Mrs
Se1d Waddell was chairman. In
| the afternoon Mr.. c. G. Burkitt,
principal OF the high school, gave
an earnest and thoughtful interpre-
tation of city high school work.
Afterwards all the teachers were
called upon for reports OF their
work.
The resignation of the old officers
having been received, new officers
were elected as follows: Russell
Garth, president; c. G. Burkitt,
vice-president; J. e. Boaz, secre'
tary. After the installation of OF
ficers and announcement by the
president that vice-presidents from
each district would be appointed
later, the body was declared ad
iourned.

Address by Rev. Shelburn.

Every person present at the meet
ing of the county teachers last Sat
urday bore away the most delight
full impressions of the talk made by
Mr.. w. ]. Shelburn. His graceful
manner and easy, forctble style
would render him charming
speaker under any circumstances.
On this occasion his theme was one
of peculiar interest to his hearers,
and it can be easily understood
when l say he delighted lis thor
oughly, and displeased us only once
when stopped. 1t is regretted
that we have not the means of re-
producing his speech entire-in its
place can be given only a few sug-
gestions of what it contained. In
his opening sentences he sounded
the keynote of the most exalted H.
berty in the statements: "The pros
perity of the commonwealth will be
commensurate with the intelligence
Of it's people. There will be free
dom where there is intelligence
The man who thinks will be master
of the one who refuses to think. .
He made a sure conquest of every
teacher present, when he said they
should be paid better salaries III
order that they might be continual
ly making themselves better fitted
for their work. Summer schools Of
all kinds, lectures, study in specia,
lines, etc, offer untold opportuni
ties to those who have the money
to avail themselves of them. The
teacher needs more books and peri
odicals than other people, but his
salary allows him to meet this neec
scarcely half way. In this connec
ton he urged other valid reasons
why those of this profession should
be better paid.
He made a strong plea for the
high school on a broad, sound basis
A very large percent of the you'll
Of the masses can have no othe,
educational advantages than thos'
Of the high school; it is the sum 0
their OPP ortunitles, and, in man,
cases, must supply the deficience
of home training. So they are en-
titled to such as will develop il
them we'll rounded characters an,
send them out into the world cap
able of becoming good and usefu
citizens. 1t is not unreasonable t.
desire that the course should be s.
comprehensive as to enable pupil
upon completing it to enter the uni
versities without difficulty.

is refreshing, and we shall welcom
another opportunity to hear him,

A. Vote of thanks.

Members of the Obion County
Teacher Association wish to ten
der their thanks to the committee
who served, for their benefit, a
most elegant luncheon at the Union
City Public School Building last
Saturday.
Mrs. Seid Waddell was chairman
of this committee. The other mem
bers of the same were Mesdames J.
7. Walker, Henry Mayors and J. c.
Reynolds, the latter beng absent
on account of a severe headache.
Mrs. ]. H. Arm rendered valuable
service in her stead as did Mrs,
Belle Waddcll, Mrs. A. e. Darrah
and others. An enterprise wit h
the leadership of these noble women
cannot know failure, consequently
it is hardly necessary to add that
in point of quantity, quality and
style 1t was all an epicure could
wish.

THE TEACHERS CONCLAVE
"A Very interesting Meeting of the County Teachers
at the Public High School.
Notes From Mr.. Burkitt's Speech

Following are brief notes of the
speech delivered by Mr.. c. G. Bur
kit, of Union City Public High
School, at the meeting of the teach
ers on Saturday. His subject was,
San Interpretation of the City
High School"
Its establishment and mairte-
nance function and a duty of the
municipal government.
The government should have
more or less direct supervision of
the education of those who are to
be it's citizens.
Private education is too fortuitous
and available to those most vitality
interested under circumstances over
which they have no control
Private parties have insufficient
funds for furnishing proper equip
ment and buildings.
In Germany and England, where
the management of schools has
reached the highest development,
private schools are scarcely a fac.
tor, and both countries have been
for centuries ruled by men who are
the product of the public second
airy schools.
The larger the number OF we'll
trained citizens, the higher the gen
eral tone of citizenship
Che public common schools are {
universally esta blished fact State
colleges and universities testify
that the States are pledged to fur
nish the higher education.
Given youth of capable mint
and body, at no time should thu
opportunity to continue his studies
be denied him. The nearer tn,
school the more valuable it is t.
the pupils who should enjoy its ad
vantages. Every town should ex
ert itself to the utmost to furnish
in the best manner such second
airy education to each boy and cir
desiring it, and should spare no ex
pense to retain for them scholarl,
and efficient instructors.

and the spirit of it was entered
into heartily by those present

Reorganization of County teachers

Pursuant to the call of County

teachers of town and county assem-
bled last Saturday morning in the
purpose of effecting a reorganiza-
ton.
Superintendent Darrah, a mem
Der of the executive committee and
in the absence of the president,
called the meeting to order.
Upon motion, he was elected
chairman and presided during the
day. Mr.. Russell Garth was elect
ed secretary pro tenn. After all

he explained that his purpose i'll
calling together the teachers was
to secure their cooperation in pro-
noting high grade instruction and
intelligent m a n g ement of the
schools, an enrolment of all pres
ent was secured by order of the
chairman. Though an attendance
from many parts of the county
was shown, it was clear that the
threatening weather had seriously
interfered. Students of the high

Other Reports.

At the call of County Superintend-
ent Moore, the teachers of Obion
County met last Saturday at the
Union City Public High School for
the purpose OF reorganization. Supt.
Darrah and his faculty considered
themselves the hos S and hostesses
of the occasion ana did all in their
power to make their guests feel
welcome. They regret very much
that so few out-of-town teachers
were present, for preparations we're
made to entertain every teacher in
the county.
Mr.. Darrah was elected Temporal
ry chairman and Mr.. Garth secre-
tary. At the morning session a
programme was rendered by pupils
from the high school and high
grammar school with splendid adj
dresses by Superintendent Moore
Mr.. Shelburn and c. G. Burkitt.
At one thirty, dinner was served
in the gymnasium by Mesdames
Seid and Belle Waddell, John Il.
Walker, A. E. Darrah, Henry May
ers, Jas. Arm and Miss Birdie
Waddell. The other member of
the committee, Mrs. ]. c. Reynolds,
was absent on account OF sickness.
Too much cannot be said in praise
for their inestima BILE services. The
beautiful table extended the entire
length OF the gymnasium and was
covered with delightful lunch. 1t
is hardly necessary to say that this
hour was one of the most pleasant
of the day.
In the afternoon the teachers
present gave reports of their schools.
Then the reorganization took place.
Mr., Russell Garth was elected presi-
dent, with c. G, Burkitt vice-presi-
dent and John D. E. Boaz secretary.
The entire day was an exceeding
ly pleasant one. Superintendent
Darrah and his faculty will be de-
lighted to have the teachers meet
with them again in the near future.

Sweets Made of Coal Tar.

Saccharin and other coal-tar prod
ucts are being much used in place Of
sugar for sweetening jams, sirups, bev-
erages, pastry and other food sub
stances. Sucramine, one of these sub
stitutes, is credited with 700 times the
sweetening power of the cane-sugar.
Not only are these sweet products
not food, but DR.. de Lavarene calls at
tention to the fact that their contin-
ued use may seriously derange the di-
gestive functions. Prof. Won Bunge,
of Basic, has reported that saccharin
after being absorbed may reappear in
the saliva, causing j persistent sweet
taste, and interfering with the appe-
tite. DR.. Plugge has shown that sac
charm interferes with the breaking
up of food substances in artificial di-
gestion; and gram daily of dulcin,
another Of coal-tar sweets, caused the
death of dog in three weeks.

nERUNA is a great family medicine

L the men; it is just the thing to1
the many little catarrhal ailments OF
childhood.
The following testimonials from
thankful men and women tell in direct
sincere language what their success
has been in the use of Peruna in their
| families:
Louis j. Scherrinsky, 1903 Locust
| street, Atlantic, Iowa, writes:
| 81 will tell you briefly what Peruna
| has done for me. I took severe cold
which gave me hard cough. All doc
tors medicines failed to cure it. took
one bottle of Peruna and was well.
Then my two children had bad
coughs accompanied by gagging. My
wife had stomach trouble for years.
She took Peruna and now she is'well.
81 cannot express my thanks in
words, but recommend your remedy
at every opportunity, for l can con-
scientiously say that there is no medl-
cine like Peruna. Nearly everyone In
this town knew about the sickness OF
myself and family, and they have seen
with establishment what Peruna has
done for US. Many followed our exam
ple. and the result was health. Thank
ing you heartily, l AMI. j. Scher-

sionary Society, writes:

FALL FASHION HINTS.
Caneta Silk and Lace to BE In Vogue
-sVenetfan Pink" q New Color
Batiste EmbrOider ies.

The supple WeaveS OF pam taHeLss
silk will be in great demand this fall,
for both gowns and accessories, to say
nothing of the pretty dotted and
striped patterns and those barred with
narrow lines of satin in contrasting
colors for fancy waists. The color
cards showing these silks are very
handsome, and with the varied samples
of silk comes warning of advance in
price. A few on the advance French
dress models show combination OF
taffeta soyeuse with dark-colored
Examines, both plain and figured, and
heather brown and hunters green are
favored shades among these fabrics,
says the New York Evening Post.
Conventional designs in lace APP
pear on some of the new satin foulard
gowns where bands, circles and seal
lops do duty as garnitures. Festoons
of lace are not new. but they will be
used very effectively as hip trim
ming. which forms yoke, besides the
usual mode of encirc]ing the lower part
of the skirt with a scalloped or fes-
TONED insertion.
"venetian pink" is the name of a
new peculiar. and to some people very
becoming, shade of rose that will ap-
pear among velvets, chiffons and rib
bons for collars, bows, choux and mil
linery uses. It was first seen at the
private views at the various art gall
leries in Paris late last spring, and will
be in great demand this fall. A little
of it will go great way-as in vel
black hat, etc., but a great quantity OF
it, like an excess Of cerise or of the
vivid green of the summer, is over
towering.
The beautiful batiste embroideries,
which have ranked even before laces in
trimming light summer gowns, appear
IN colors somewhat less delicate in tone
for the garnishing of early autumn
costumes. The flower and other de-
signs are wrought in !colored silks
mixed with linen threads, and this
novel embroidery proves especially
suitable for adjoining gowns of neu-
trail tint. The tendency towards flow
cred effects and combinations of color
is exemplified in the new heavy ap-
plique laces-dark and pale blue with
white. red and white, black and white,
crimson and cream. and dark ecru and
primrose yellow, with white, ciel blue
or pink.
Among the artistic trimmings for
the early autumn are the Falstaff neck
ruches with fiat stole ends. and large
Cromwell cape collars of point de Ven
Use or Vandyke lace.
Surplice corsages, French basquines,
Killed skirts. hip yokes and peplum
styles and overdresses are to be worn
on fall and winter gowns.
