Special Meeting.
To the Hon. Board of Mayor and Alder
men, Rives, Tenn.

To the Hon. Board of Mayor and Alder
men, Rives, Tenn.
Greetings: You are hereby re-
quested to meet in special session in
the Masonic Hall at Rives, Tenn, on
Tuesday night, June %, at o'clock.
The question that will come up for
your consideration at this meeting will
be an ordinance that will enable the
city council to help support our public
school, This ordinance, as you know,
will have to be drafted under the
authority of our present charter, which
provides a special levy of five cents on
the $4,000 of taxable property for
school purposes. In addition to this
small levy you have authority to levy
an additional poll tax of $1.00 on all
male persons over q years of age and
under so Except such as would be ex-
cused on account of disability.
At the present time the entire South,
and l might add the United States,
through our law making bodies, is
making rapid strides along educational
lines. and. while our first efforts may be
small, l believe that you will serve the
best interest of the people of this city
by going the entire length of your
authority. But slight investigation will
show you the great good that awaits all
from maintaining a system of high
standard public schools.
In connection with the above call /
respectfully request the presence of the
directors of the Rives Graded School,
also the patrons of the school, as well;
and last but not least all others in
terested in the school and the city of
Rives. Come one, come all, and help
make our school model for others.

The Educated Woman.

Paper read by Miss Mary Lou Driskill,
member of Union City Training School gradu-
ating class.
Education in it's truest sense gives to
its possessor a power over its ill-guided
and illiterate brother. Believing then
that all education is only useful so far
as it tends to confirm this power, first
over ourselves, and through ourselves
over those around us. What especial
portion of this royal authority may we
women possess, and, having attained it,
what shall be our influence over our
fellow man?
That woman's influence in the world
plays no minor part is perceptible not
only in our everyday life, but in the
testimony of our greatest writers and
thinkers, both of the past and present
what they considered to be the true dig
nity of women and her mode of help to
man.
Take Shakespeare. Observe his plays
throughout and the catastrophe of each
and every one is caused by the folly OF
( fault of man; the redemption, if there
be any, is by the wisdom and virtue OF
woman. Such is Shakespeare's testi-
mony to the position and character of
woman in human life. He represents
them as "infallibly faithful and wise
counsellors, incorruptibly just and pure
examples, strong always to sanctify
even when they can not save.
Then take Scott, and throughout his
writings his women are ever influential,
always the teachers and guides. We
could take numerous others as wit
nesses to the influence of woman, as
Dante, Chaucer and Spencer, and could
even go back into the mythical ages
when the great Egyptian people, wisest
then of nations, gave to their spirit Of
wisdom the form of woman and as her
symbol the Viewers Shuttle. And
then the Greeks had the goddess Athe-
ma as their representative of art and
wisdom.
But we need not dwell longer in such
mythical element, nor shall we rely
on the testimony of the writers and
thinkers as they are portrayed to us IL
fiction, but let us study her influence
and observe the sway of her scepter as
we see it before our eyes in life itself.
Woman's power is for rule, not fol-
battle, her intellect for directing and
decision, and she therefore must fiji
herself to be thus able to rule by proper
education, not merely in books,
but by a broadening of her every facul-
ty by every means attainable that she
may use and not abuse the influence
that is within herself.
Take her influence at home. 1t is by
her sweet directing that home is made
and Ruskin says, Wherever woman is
there is home; that stars only may be
over her head, the glowworm in the
night; cold grass may be the only fire
at her feet, but home is yet there; and
for,;a noble woman it stretches fan
around her, better than ceiled with
cedar or painted with yermillion, she'd
ding its light for those who else were
homeless.
Whether our influence in life be
great or small, our power limited, lei
us strive to direct it as rightly as if i
extended over an entire monarchy anC
we were its queen, ever realizing tina
such power rightly directed maintains
l-all the majesty Of love and life, and

by the steps of mercy.
