The superintendent impresses
upon the county superintendente
the necessity for great care IN the
examination and licensingof teach
ers, and says that under nocircum-
stances should incompetent teach
ers be imployed in the public
schools.
The circular states that teachers
are exempt from examination who
hold diplomas from the Peabody
College for teachers, certificates
from the State institutes and the
summer school at either Knoxville
or the Peabody College. The Uni
versity of Tennessee is referredto
as the head of the public school
system of the State, and the SUPER
lntendents are asked to see to il
that all the scholarships are filled
as provided under the law.
tits urged that all examinations
be made thorough, practical and
uniform, and certificates granted
only to those teachers who are good
moral character and we'll qualified
to teach. 1t is insisted that all
schools use the adopted text books.
Professor Mynders mekessever-

BENTON COUNTY NORMAL.

The Benton County Normal,
which is now in session, is one of
the greatest if uot the best in the
history of Benton County schools.
While it is slight preparation for
the examination it seems that the
mass of student teachers have lost
sight of this fact and are prepar-
ing for life, especially for life in
therural schools of Benton County.
They are like some great gener-
al who is lion in the military
world. They are not preparing
for one little skirmish, but for the
great battles of life. 1t is to be
hoped that this body of mental
pilots will come forth ready to steer
the little boats of intellect into
the sea realization, so that they
may see what is in the world for
them to accomplish; ready also to
lift them from the slough illitera-
cy and place them upon the rock
education.
May the teachers after this nor
NAL be ever ready to uphold the
value of an education, and impress
on the minds of the people every
where that it is an education that
starts the wheels to rolling toward
success IN every occupation of life.
BY the side of the masters in liter
ature stands the faithful throngs
who teach these wonderful truths.
Magnificent opportunities has the
teacher; wonderful his sphere of
usefulness. Honor to those who
have spent and are spending their
existence to prepare lives for the
highest attalnments possible.
According to the inspired Solo,
mon, education is very valuable,
indeed, for he says wisdom is the
principal thing, therefore, get wis
dom; and with all thy getting get
understanding. She shall give to
thy head an ornament of grace; a
crown of glory shall she deliver to
thee" Proverbs iv. 7-9).
And in the Benton County Nor
NAL is good place to improve not
only your own education but to
prepare to be of some benefit to
others in securing the blessings of
an education. We the members of
the Benton County normal should
build a name. "Built of further
ance and preserving; not of spent
deeds, but of doing"
That which should concern us
most is that if others under less
favorable circumstances have been

ever laudable undertaking we may
enter we have the experience Of the
masters, the brains of ages past to
inspire us. He who ocarries school
of individuals on his mind occupies
one of earth's loftiest and most re-
sponsible positions.
Behind every successful school
and college stands the true man,
the man that rejoices in the sun
shine of success, that fears not the
clouds of adversely, but stands by
his noble undertaking till out of
the darkness it emerges, and, like
the masters in every profession,
inspired by nature, while the sun
shines and endures the storm cloud
that holds the refreshing showers,
we will never succeed if we injoy
the sun shine and try to evade the
storm.
Again, we are as vessels on the
great ocean of time: The great
steamers may carry their immense
cargoes, but they are so capacitat-
ed. We may not be capacitated
to carry the immense cargoes of
thought, but like the life saving
vessels we may have as lofty a
mission.
To all has been given the power
to carry them across life's sea to
the port of success; but we must
contend with the waves though
high around us they may roll, or
anchor this side of the port for
which we sailed. | may say that
this life is as mountain as we as

The great crags in the distance
that make the future seem treach-

last we securely plant our feet up
on the broad summit that holds the
faithful of every age and cline,
from the "Hand of Justice" we will
receive our Diplomas and on uswill
be conferred the degree Master of
the situation. And why should we
not be inspired to greater things
when we come in daily contact
with the most intelligent andfairest
daughters and most brilliant sons
of Tennessee.
Andlastbutuot least, why should
the Benton County Normal not be
a great inspiration to all when we
have for a leader one who is an
intellectual giant one who shows
by his daily work as was said of old:
"Sink or swim, live or die, survive
or perish, l give my hand and my
heart to this work"

TRAINING CHILDREN.
A Mothers Correction Should Never
Outrun Her Love.


Outrun Her Love.
The best means of encouraging truth
fulness in children is a problem which
taxes the judgment of the best among
us. The road to truthfulness can only
be found through mutual sympathy
q sympathy which enables the mother
to know what demands she can and
ought to make upon her child's obedi-
ence to her higher will and which
teaches the child uncomplainingly to
accept her wishes as law. To win this
trust mothers correction should new
err outrun her love, and she may well
make it q golden maxim never to let
the sun go down upon her wrath.
If n child once feels that the day has
gone by with loss or lessening of the
mothers love the influence of the moth
er for good is dangerously weakened;
q link is snapped in the chain of truth
fulness and precious idol is in danger
of being hopelessly shattered. Undue
harshness is one of those irreparable
errors we are sure to regret Mothers
should therefore temper their reproofs
with love. The responsibilities of moth
erhood are indeed heavy, but they are
not beyond their powers, and it is with
in q mothers scope to control far more
fully than she may be ready to ac-
knowledge the environments of her
children and to mold their characters
for good or evll.-Washington Post.

What is meant by an efficient

it mean good school houses, beauti-

and poor, untrained teachers? The
history of education clearly shows
that all educational reform must
begin with the teacher; hence the

responsibilities resting upon them.
