WATAUGA ELECTRIC co.

A most important element in
the growth aud prosperity of a
city is its public utilities, and in
this respect johnson City as the
coming metropolis of East Ten
nessee is particularly fortunate.
The water-works, street railway
service and street railway sys-
TEN of the city have been de-
scribed elsewhere in this paper,
Quite as vital, however, to the
community is the service of cleo
tricity.
The Watauga Electric Com
pany has an equipment whit h
represents the best that modern
scientific thought and money can
buy and they furnish Johnson
City with superior service in this
line. The company has had pro-
vided for it a $50 K. W., 3-phase.
60-cycle generator and a 24O K.
W., 500 volt railway generator.
They use a single and three
phase circuitof twenty,four hours.
The rates are exceptionally low
in consideration of the quality of
service furnished, which is 10
cents fer K. w. hours for domes-
tic use and a valuable power rate
ranging IRON 5 to 3 cents for in
dustrial plans. The gentlemen
who control the policy of the COM
pany are far.seeing business men,
firm believers in and deeply inter-
ested in the future prosperity of
the city and the community, and
it is their ambition to make the
electric light and power service
of the city equal in every respect
to that of the older and more set
tied committees of the North.

TWENTY-FIVE TOWNS
WANT STATE NORMAL

The state board of education will
start out Wednesday night to make a
visit to twenty-five towns in Tennessee
with view to selecting three sites for
state normal schools, one in each grand
division Of the state. The first stop will
be at Athens Thursday. Friday the
board will visit Dayton, Saturday
morning Winchester, Saturday after
noon Tullahoma, Monday morning
Murfreesboro, Monday afternoon Shell
byville, Tuesday Fayetteville and We'd
nesday Columbia. In all five towns in
East Tennessee, nine in Middle Ten
nessee and eight in West Tennessee.
1t is the purpose of the board to COM
plete the list of towns and probably
two weeks will be consumed before a
decision is reached regarding the selec-
ton Of sites for the three state normals.

The signs of the times clearly indi-
cate larger scho' astic population in
the next few years than tie above
table shows for the past few. The
public is admonished to make ready
for the increase that none of the
children may be sighted in getting
his or her portion of the education
which is due them.
1t will be of interest to know how
the schools are filled at the begin
ming of the present session, and how
the work is prospering in the hands
of the present corps Of teachers.
The following table will give a view
of the enrolment and other informa-
ton;
The comet. (Johnson City, Tenn.) 1884-1916, 1909-09-30

AT the close of the third week of
school there were enrolled the grand
total of 1876 pupils, or more than
oS per cent. of the school popula-
ton No effort has been made to
rigidly enforce the compulsory edu-
cation law, but it will be seen that
the proper enforcement of that law
would crowd the schools, but prcvi.-
ion will be made to meet the de-
nands should it become necessary
1t is the purpose of the board of ed j..
cation and the city council to do all
in their power to offer free education
to every boy and girl in Johnson
City, and to require those negligent
or dilatory respecting their schooling
TO attend during the term set out in
the recent enactment of the state
legislature.
1t must be source of pleasure and
pride for the good people of this city
to contemplate the splendid scholas-
tic advantages offered here and the
high standard maintained by the
schools.
Every school-house is supplied
with up to-date teachers, who are
conscieutiously putting forth every
effort for the trair ing of the boys
and girls of the city inspiring them
with high ideals and lspirations, and
developing them into educated citi-
zens; which is the graf end of the
,educative process.
OF course there are many things
needed for the perfection of the sys-
TEN and enhancement of the work,
but all these things will be added as
opportunity is afforded. One of the
greatest needs which is pressing for
the attention of the people is a mod
ern highschool building. The need,
however, is we'll understood, and it
may be safe to predict that steps will
be taken in the near future to meet
this need. In supplying this want
by building a ~commodious modern
building two ends will be accom-
plished. First, provision will be
made for the work of the high
school, and accommodation of the
ever-increasing attendance, and sec
ond, the grammar grades could be
moved into the new building and
thus relieve the crowded conditions
OF the ward schools.
The records show that pupils who
last year attended schools in states
from New York to Texas are this
year enrolled in the schools OF this
city, Many families have moved in
to Johnson City since the close Of

SCHOOL BOARD
IN THE FIELD.

The state board of education is now
upon its tour of inspection of towns
bidding for the state nOrmals in Middle
and West Tennessee and will not COM
plete the tour until October Ia. The
Nashville Banner says: Immediately
upon the completion of the West Ten
nessee tour, it is expected the board
will go over the numerous propositions
submitted and decide upon the loca-
tions of the three white normal schools.
1t is desired by the educational officials
of the state that these locations be set
tied as soon as possible in order that
architects may be put to work on plans
for the necessary buildings and that
the contracts for the same may be let
not later than the first of the new year.

JOHNSON CITY SCHOOLS

The school interests Of Johnson
City are paramount to all other in
terests, and very rightly are they so
considered by the citizens. This is
a very gratifying indication, prophe-
swing bright future for our educa-
tional system. Our citizens have an
ambition and aspiration to see that
the schools of the city are the best
that can be found anywhere; and, in
full appreciation of the efforts tor
more efficiency in our schools, the
people are ready to provide funds
and buildings, as well as apparatus
and equipment to secure the best re-
suits, and to place the system upon
as.high a level as possible,
1t is not necessary to write the
history of the rise and progress of
public education in Johnson City, as
that has been admirably done by Mr..
]. E. Brading, and published in one
of the papers of the city some months
ago. 1t is sufficient 70 say at this
time that probably no place shows a
more rapid growth and development
In the school system than does this
city. The statistics Of the last FIVE
