EDUCATORS MAKE ELOQUENT
APPEALS FOR BETTER SCHOOLS

the future citizens upon whose ability
to discharge their duties depends the
welfare and safety Of the state and
the perpetuity of our free institutions
Prof. P. L. Harmed, of GAINESVILLE
former County Superintendent OF
Montgomery county and at present
City Superintendent OF GAINESVILLE
schools was the next speaker. Prof.
Harmed is the father of the county
board idea in Tennessee he having
induced the legislature several years
ago to pass special act for Mont
gomery county and its success IN
that county resulted in the growth of
sentiment that brought about the ex-
tension of the plan to practically the
entire State.
Prof. Harmed described conditions
as they exist in Tennessee and sug-
gested remedies for their improvement.
He was especially effective In his ap-
peal for better compensation for the
teachers. He said that there was not
a county in Tennessee that had enough
teachers who were qualified and could
passe the requisite examinations to
fill its schools. This condition was
due to the small salaries that are
paid. The average salary in the State
is now only 5000. which is less than
laborers on the farm receive, and it is
too much to expect to obtain COM
petent teachers at such a rediculously
low figure. People who are worthy
and competent to teach in the schools
can obtain much more in some other |
field Of labor and it is not surprising |
that there is such dearth of teach |
ers.
Prof. Harmed also brought to the
attention of his hearers the necessity
for better supervision of the schools !
and Of the teaching force. He pointed
out that the average salary of the
County Superintendent in Tennessee
today is less than. $500. The best
equipped men and the most efficient
cannot be obtained at this
price. 1t is absurd to talk about hav-
Ing a capable public school system
unless we have efficient supervision
and this cannot be obtained without
salaries are paid.
In the afternoon Prof Wycliffe
Rose, Of the Peabody Normal School
It Nashville made brief address.
Prof. Claxton again spoke, being more
specific in stating the needs Of the {
schools than in his first address. Ii

At the meeting in September tn
Board will elect a Chairman and Ser

Hatcher has served in that capacity
for a year a since the new system

A GRAND FAMILY MEDICINE.

1T gives me pleasure 70 speak :
good word for Electric Bitters, 7
writes Mr.. Frank Conlan of No. 436
Houston St., New York. "It's grand
family medicine for dyspepsia and
liver complications; while for lame
back and weak kidneys 1t cannot be
too highly recommended" Electric
Bitters regulate the digestive func-
tions, purify the blood, and impart re-
newed vigor and vitality to the weak

dollar of it should be improperl!
expended; 1t is sacred fund deli
Gated upon the altar of our countr!
for the generations of today and thos'
that are to come after. 1t is just al
great crime to steal the money tina
is dedicated for the education of the
children as it is to take the funds
that have been placed upon the ALTA
of Gods church. If you are going tt
steal, steal from men and women;
don't take the money of the children
who are our sacred charge and who
cannot help themselves; do not deny
them opportunities that they may new
er have again"
Prof Claxton then instanced the
incorporation of public school
funds; speaking of the graft in the
buying of books and charts. The
money raised for public schools is not
free money; it is sacred fund dedi-
Gated to the highest purposes of hui
mainly. He then made an earnest plea
for more competent and better
equipped teachers, declaring that much
money was wasted through the en-
ployment of those who were not quail
fed for the work. Another waste oc-
ours in the failure to send children
to school after the school is provided
it being estimated that one half of
the funds raised are actually lost be-
cause of the non-attendance of those
for whom the schools are provided.
Prof. Claxton stated that eighty per
cent Of all the civilized people Of the
world live under laws that compel the
of children and that Ten
nessee would some day, when the peo-
pie had better and broader concep-
ton of their public duty and of their
duty to posterity. In the meantime
he pleaded for public sentiment that
would compel the attendance of chill
dren 1t is a crime, he said, against a
free government not to fit the future
citizens for the duties and responsi-
Dilities that will soon devolve upon
them. In making powerful appeal
FOR better equipped teachers the
speaker referred to the scriptural
ruth that whatsoever a people SOW
hat shall they also reap, to demon
strate that unless the children are
we'll trained and properly equipped in
heir early days their capacity and
heir qualifications as citizens in af-
er life will be impaired.
In closing his splendid address Prof.
1laxton referred to the Importance Of
,lecting to the County Courts and to
he Legislature men who would give
to the interests Of the
children, constituting one-half of the
States population, and who will be
