OUR OWN SCHOOLS.


Why should we patronize oul
home schooIs? Because we know
what they are from actual knowI
edge. For the worth of others
you have the statements of adver
tisements and glowing circulars
Often distance lends enchantment
to the view, and too late the stu.
dent finds himself to be the victim
of circumstances. Our own schools
are here; their teachers are person.
ally known; their work is before
your eyes.
Because we, have as high stand
ards in secondary and business
education as any in the State.
Many of the so-called colleges"
with their big words and glitter
ing courses of study and" degr ees"
are, after all, of less value in point
of advancement than our more
modest schools, and in point of
honest standard of work there is
infinitely more in our favor.
Because pupils at home are less
exposed to temptation and wrong
habits of life than when abroad.
The home is the center of moral
training.
Because pupils can be kept in
our own schools for much less out
lay of money than when sent away.
People sometimes read of the ex-
traordinary low rates advertised
in schools abroad, until they get
the idea that it is really cheaper to
send them away to school than to
keep them at home, but we have
never found one who thought so
after years experience.
Because they are our schools,
and as they develop and grow in
influence and value, the commu-
nifty at large is benefited just so
much.
For secondary and business edu-
cation, let us see if our own schools
do not meet the requirements of
our county's boys and girls.

lly free to all who reside within
the corporate limits Of Union City
and to those who are non-residents,
for S45 per year in any of the
above named grades.
The entire time of three able
and experienced teachers is given
to these four grades alone, ena-
bling them to give not less than
forty minutes to each recitation.
If your son or daughter has
finished the course at the Rlves
Graded School or Obion School,
or the school at Troy or at Horn
beak, or Woodland Mills, and you
wish to prepare the student thus
graduating for some commercial
pursuit, then by all means enter
said student at Union City Bust
ness College.
Your own judgment will tell
you that school which processes
to do one line of work, devoting
its entire time and energy to that
particular kind of work, will sue
coed in far greater measure, and
deservedly so, than the school that
proposes to do everything and in
the end accomplishes nothing.
The Union City Business Col
lege proposes to give your son a
thorough business course in book
keeping, shorthand, typewriting
and telegraphy, thus enabling him
to become self independent and
self sustaining.
The school has passed its expert
mental stage and starts out on its
second year with record which
few schools of a similar kind have
ever surpassed. There is one
thing absolutely certain, if your
boy has fair education and any
business tact at all about him, he
is just as certain, at the expiration
of six months honest application,
to secure and hold a good paying
position as that Judge Parker is
the right man in the right place.
II you are not in q great hurry
to rush your son into the race for
the almighty dollar, but desire
first that he shall complete his
literary studies, at least to the ex-
tent of thorough High School
course, before entering the Bust
ness College, why with that native
modesty for which we are noted
both at home and abroad, we raise
our hat and beg to assure you that
the Union City high school offers
him a rock ribbed foundation up
on which he may afterwards build
whatsoever character of super
structure his ambition and cour-
age may dare.

HOME SCHOOLS FIRST.

1t is our candid belief that if we
would build up the school interests
of our county we would inyari-
ably investigate fully and impair
TALLY the claims of the best schools
at home before sending to other
schools.
Where is there another town in
West Tennessee that takes the
same interest in the schools of the
county as that taken by Union
City2
1T il true, this present happy
condition did not always exist, but
it does exist now and it has existed
for the past four or five years,
sufficient proof of the genuine re-
gard the two systems bear toward
each other.
No clearer demonstration of this
fact could be given than the action
of the County Court which, at the
request of Supt. Darrah, increased
the appropriation for the State In
stitute from $4,000 to $4,000, a
larger appropriation than it had
ever made before.
With the evidence of good will
on the part of the county officials,
even though Union City be bene-
flied thereby, there is every reason
to believe that the school interests
of both city and county will move
along apace, having In view identi-
cally the same noble purpose, the
proper instruction of our youth as
far as money can provide and
talent can achieve.
There is q brighter day dawning
for the public schools of our State.
The interests of our boys and girls
have certainly been deferred to
the last, but at last they are about
to come into their own.
With uniform text books for
city and country alike, with uni
form course of study and school
year practically the same length,
with better equipped buildings
and only men and women who are
graduates of Colleges or State Nor
NAL schools placed in charge, Ten
nessee may be expected to 60
marching grandly on to her des-
tiny. In the meantime Union
City and Obion county will work
out their school problem together,
keeping our boys and girls at
home schools until they are ready
to attend real college or univer-
sity.
Union City has a high school
whose graduates may enter any
college or university in the South,
an institution which gives q four
wears course of study in the de-
partments of English, Literature

III force on the books Of the company
clearly indicates the care with which the
field work of the company has been coI,-
iucted as well as the satisfaction of the
policy holders with the results attained.
That this company has been able to
produce results unusually favorable to its
policy holders is due TO the fact that
every careful attention is paid to tle
seleetion of risks and the investment or
funds, and to the unusually low rate of
expenses of operation.
During 1903 the ratio oc actual expenses
and taxes to income in the Northwestern

in the last nine. Notwithstanding the
large amount of new business transacted.
