Tracy CITY Mrs. Grnndy ]

Tracy City Mrs. Grundyl
Superintendent S. A. Mynders,
in adopting the rule that hereafter
public school teachers must be eff
cient in photography and language
before being licensed TO teach in
public schools, has shown himself
to be close observer, as well as a
progressive leader in the rebuild
ing of the public schools.
Teachers as a general rule, man.
age to make necessary average on
examination, and go on turning out
students who can not legibly write
or correctly spell the most simple
sentence, to say nothing of the
grammatical construction.
Such people should not be al
lowed to teach, and the recent rul-
ing of the State superintendent on
this point will justify county sup
erintendents in refusing olicense
such teachers.
Teachers should be licensed and
employed to teach because of their
qualifications and ability so to do,
and not for any political pull they
may have by reason Of kinship or
otherwise.
When merit alone determines
who shall teach in our public
schools, a lasting service will have
been done for the children of Ten
nessee.

THE KNOCKER.
y. a. DABER,
Huntingdon, Tenn

Editor THE CHRONICLE:
We have class of men in town who
are never satisfied with existing condi-
tons, and are constantly telling how
much better times used to be. They are
saying that business has been dull, that
trade has been dull, and that our bust
ness men are lacking IN enterprise.
These knockers have not consulted our
business men, who would have informed
them that trade last year was better than
the year before, and that people are pay
ing more cash and asking less credit than
ever before in the history of the town,
Ingt may not be as ''lively" and INTEREST,"
for these fellows as in the days of saloons,
but nevertheless, they come and 60 in a
steady stream and they 60 home loaded
with goods instead of "booze."
Mr.. Knocker, if you have the good OF
the town at heart, rem ember that one
way to make hard times is to talk ''hard
times" and conversely general prosper
ity is promoted by an encouraging word
for all our business enterprises.

Interesting Figures on Life In
surance in this State.
NINETY MILLIONS
Almost Now Carried In Policies. The
Three Big Companies Carry Third
of the Risks. Interesting Sta.
tlstics Cleaned from the
Comptroller General.

There has been much complaint
among life insurance agents generally
that the bitter warfare that has been
waging in the management of the
Equitable and the disclosures that
tnis contest has brought out have to q
considerable extent destroyed faith in
lie insurance and made business much
more difficult to write. But, says the
Charleston Post, no such condition
is r, ected in the Comptroller Gener-
ais comparative taoulation, just COM
pleted, OF business done by all life
companies operating in this State.
These figures are for the year ending
December 3lst last, the figures for
the first quarter Of the present year
not having yet been tabulated
Whether the figures for the new quar-
ter will show any falling off can not
he said, but certain 1t is that last
years business showed the same steady
increase that has been manifest for
the past several decades.
The business Of the three giants"
continues to climb in million dollar
strides. In 1903 the Equitable had

wrote 81 O46 754 and began the new

York Life in 1903 had in force s12,- :
26l .697, wrote $3.50, $50 and began
the PR sent year with Sl3 $40, 1853.
In 1904 the Equitable received pre-

Why We Color Easter Eggs.

The Syrian nightingale has the
loyeliest voice of all Gods creatures
and the saddest song ever heard, says
Mrs Lew Wallace. Shady coverts
fringing the Jordan still shelter the
bird that sings darling" There is a
legend that the nightingale sat in the
olive tree In the garden of 10.
seph OF Arimathea, and the night
before the resurrection, through the
darkness. she poured out her soul In
sorrowing plaint above the still sleeper
in the tomb wherein was never man
laid. When the first Easter morning
broke over the eastern hills the eggs
in the nest OF the brooding bird spar
kled with gold, blue, orange and
crimson, and so we color eggs at
Easter for memorial of the lone
singer that sang by the holy sepulcher
nineteen hundred years ago.
