The Speaking Begins.

The Speaking Begins.
At 11:15 o'clock W. j. Webster ad
dressed the vast audience providing the
amphitheatre, welcoming the Board to
the county: All can say is not SC
strong a welcome as that presented
by the school children who have
passed in review here. / will not de-
tain you-you are welcome, gentle
men. Maury county wants more
schools. Build more, tear down none. "
Supt. Jones.
Mr.. Webster then introduced Supt.
Jones, who expressed his pleasure at
being again in the 'Dimple of the
/ Universe" Mr.. Jones spoke on the
! High school system of the State. He
said that the first County High school
was established in 1898 in Lake coun-
ty. After relating the doubts that
existed as to the success OF this effort
Mr. Jones said that the little county
now has a magnificent institution with
60 pupils.
Referring to the general educational
bill the speaker asserted that under
it's provisions about $4,000 is set
apart by the state annually for the
assistance of the County High schools.
This bill classes the High schools as
first, second and third class with four,
three and two year courses. More
than 81 High schools have been estab-
lished under this act.
1T is a singular fact that every
county in East Tennessee asking for
this Normal school has taken advan.
tage of this act but one, and in Mid
die Tennessee all the counties visited |
but two have high schools.
Referring to Maury county he said
that hse had high school population
of 1890, estimating that 40 per cent |
of the scolastic population of 10000
are eligible.
Mr. Jones took occasion to pay a
tribute to the prep. schools of Maury,
saying that they were the equal of
those in any part of the State.
What we want in Tennessee, gen.
tlemen, is not to destroy prep. schools
but to create schoolfsentiment that
will result in more children receiving
a higher education
Mr.. Jones stated that after the four
year high school course is completed
hat the pupils will be ready to enter
he university. He also appealed to
he County Court of Maury TO estab-
ish a high school at the meeting Mon
lay. Mark my prediction, II you are
lot Indifferent to your best interests
within five years you will have five
Ugh schools in Maury county"
Referring to the parade of school
hildren he said u thought this
morning as ! reviewed that parade
hat IL your ex-pTesident had stood on i.
hat platform and looked into those
aces, as | did, that his fears Of race
uicide would be forever allayed'
In conclusion Mr.. Jones appealed to
he people Of Maury to give that atten- !
on to the education of the children
nat is given to the training Of horses. n

Governor Patterson.
AS he arose to speak Governor Pat
terson was greeted with cheers. In
his opening remarks he expressed on
behalf of the State Boarc and him
self, appreciation for tie welcome ac
corded. I'VE have been through East
Tennessee, many parts of Middle Ten
nessee but nowhere have we met with
a more cordial welcome than that ex-
tended by the people of Maury coun-
ty," he said.
Governor Patterson declared that
his mission here was not political.
We are charged with the task of
locating three Normal schools. There
are % cunties asking for these-we
cannot give one to all-naturally some
will be disappointed. But l trust that
when we have made our selections
that we will be able to again visit
those counties and receive no less a
cordial welcome than is given us
now"
Governor Patterson referred to the
old school system, with directors in
the county districts, and declared that
the old system lacked two essentials
of success--organization and cohesion
He referred to the passage Of the
General Educational bill with pride. |
Il signed that bill. Since that hour
the school system of Tennessee has |
been re-vivified He then referred to
his appointment of Supt. Jones, say
ing that he had named the biggest
man in Tennessee"
Commenting on the necessity of /
early training, the Governor declared !
that many self-made men had sue
ceeded through their native force, and
that theil success would have been
much greater had they been educated
n youth. He created a ripple of

education belonged little more to
