Increase of School Funds.

The following letter from Seymour
A. Mynders, State Superintendent
of Public Instruction, to Directors
is self explanatory:
Nashville, Tenn, Jan. 8, 1901
To School Directors:
The distribution of the surplus in the
State Treasury on December 81, 1908, gives
to the public schools of the State an in
crease of funds amounting to thirty-fve
cents per capita.
1t is earenestly hoped that this evidence
Of interest on the part Of the Governor and
the Legislature will be met with increased
interest by the County Courts and schoo
officers.
We need longer terms and better primary
schools, and trust you will see that the
money is used to supply these needs EN-
ploy no one to teach in these schools that
does not love little children and is not
thoroughly qualified. Professional knowl-
edge and high order Of attainments are
absolutely necessary, The primary teacher
should be the best teacher in the school
system.
As a rule, directors should not buy
maps, charles, Libraries, ETC., from travelling
agents. To meet their heavy expences they
must charge much more than the publishe:
would charge ii bought direct. Then
while these things may be good, their use
is often wholly impractcsble in the average
school room.

money be used so far as possible to lsngther

Chat.

In musing over things today the thought
came into my mind, what are the sweetest
things of earth, and then l wrote "A
mothers kiss; A baby's mirth; Hearts
where anger never burns; Lips that can
praise rivals WORTH" What paradise
this world would be if general disse mi
nation of the above was in every breast
Each being fall OF the essence OF innocence
and purity, what a glorious community
and world this would be if we we're all as
gentle and loving as mothers kiss, and
how much more Of the real enjoyments OF
life would come to us if our mirth was IS
innocent as our darling baby's. Think
how brighter and happier our lives would
be if we would never let anger find lodge
ment in the heart then our lips could
praise our worst enemies. Ii the human
thought can dig into the hidden recesses OF
the heart and bring to light the richest
and sweetest treasures known, surely 1t Is
possible TO so cultlVdtc the hhoi f"
of our being that they will be more in har'
mony with the author of all life. There
is more elegant life to live than we are
living. The fuer and better qualities Of
thoughts point Enthusiastically to it. Bright
beautiful and rosy guide-posts erected BY
natures god tells us in living though mute
language that there is better way; hap
pier and more peaceful way. All, I'M
sweetest things Of the earth are the simpies
ones things that we know and can under
stand Each home, each hrsside has
known some OF the sweet thing OF TN
earth. The Savior said, "Behoid tn.
mother" and on another occasion he re
fered to little child, then TO an lseraiit
in whom there WAS no guile, then to III
lilies of the valley. With the sweetest AM
purest things of the earth for our examPl
aud guide, why should we err? Mother

son or daughter imbued with the spirit OF
the father, The reminent that is left is
glorious reminder of glorious cause, and
in behalf of as pure patriotism as ever
drew the homage of great people, many
of our leaders are now gone. Don't be-
come disheartened, comrades, or give up
the ship but let US close up our ranks with
the forlo:n hope and continue to battle for
the undying prin ,iples that nerved and
strengthened our arms in the days OF 63,
The South has been through the fiery fur
mace and she has often been hit and hard
hit. In the death of William Mckinley,
her once gallant foe, she lost much more
than we may imagine. To him and Gen.
Cord on the country owes much for the
sogtening OF bitter feelings Comrades,
stand firm under the leadership of those
who succeed our beloved leader, Gen. John
b. Gordon. Let us all be as fearless as he
was fearless; let us stand by the truth as
he stood by it, never forgetting the olive
branch OF fraternal union. The kindly
feeling existing between the North aud
South today, we owe 10 General Gordon
and William Mckinley. Keep alive this
kindly feeling and our star will never set
but as the years come aud go it will shine
more beautiful and bright and our cause
will never die. Comrades, that cause
| touches every white man under heaven and
means his own supremacy, power and do
minion in all the world. 1t will never be
/ stayed or stopped; teach it to your children
and grandchildren as the fathers pro-
claimed it and God himself proclaimed it
at the beginning. | cannot close without
mentioning our old comrade, John Orange.
John gave his all for the land of his adop-
ton and made the South one among the
best soldiers of the line. in his palmar
days we remember him as big-hearted and
hospitable and many fessted at his table
When he became broken in health, fortune
and mind, you old comrades proved to be
his truest and best friends, following him
to his last resting place. Let that continue
to be your manner OF conduct; stick tC
your comrades in prosperity, poverty and
in death; never turn your back on single
confederate soldier. From my heart
thank you for going with Comrade Oranges
body as far as you could. Though man,
OF those who seem to be our friends in oul
better and more PALMER days may
tail us in the Last sad hour, don't let us b,
guilty OF such unbrotherly actions. w
all know John Orange was big hearted il
life, brave soldier, a true southern son by
adoption and merted our attention and re
spect. My advise and council is to follow
all OF our comrades to their last restip,
place whether they are camp members O
not. Let us claim our places in the funera
procession regardless OF organizations.

to see the immortalising Of the cause for
which we fought. Many of our comrades
and great leaders have fallen until there

Tended from Appomatox until now. How
proud are we to have the conscientiousness
OF triumph and the adulation OF thousands.
The blackened fields have recovered their
fertility and the home that lay in ashes has
been rebuilt. We have Taught our chill
dren that in unity there is strength; we
have always been loyal to the South and
h,r interests, we made her solid and she
remains So We thank God we have been
able to restrain our fiery sons and prevent
ed them from returning hot rejoinders 10
harsh criticisms and ignorant prejudice.
