County High Schools.

We reproduce this week portion of
Prof. Claxton's address on Why Should
the Counties of Tennessee Establish and
Maintain Public High Schools" and
will continue the address in installments
from week to week. The Legislature
has made an allowance for, county high
schools, amounting to one thousand dol
lars or more to each county, and those
counties which do not establish the
high school cannot take advantage OF
the appropriation. Every county in
Tennessee needs all the educational adj
vantages it can get, and among these
things a county high school is of the
greatest importance. There are three
or four high schools in the county, but
these are city high schools and cannot
take advantage of the appropriation.
A county high school is needed for
those who are not eligible to the city
high schools to better advance the edu-
cational standard of the county. Read

on the subject if you are not already

Anent the Waiting Habit.

Il suppose it'sEa fact" said Mr.
MacWhackt, VA about the worst
habit one could tract is that of sit
ting down and waiNhg for something to
turn up
1--we known lot of men that have
had this habit, but have never known
one of them to have anything come to
hi3 yet. Of course, there's chance
of mans being struck by lightning,
but if you take the total population of
the world and divide by the number
struck you would find that the chances
of ones being struck are very small,
and the chances of anything coming to
man who is waiting for something to
turn up are great deal smaller still.
You see, as tell my son, William
MacWhackt, Jr., something, that is to
say, the something that we are always
looking for to turn up, is really not, as
you might say, thing of migratory
nature, that is, not thing that seeks
people. In fact, one of its chief charac-
teristics consists in its inclination te
stick somewhere, generally more or less
| far off, in which it is like gold in its
raw shape, which lies buried in the
earth at great distance, where we must
go and dig for it, and dig hard if we
want to get it. Measles and various
other affections come to us, but not so,
as rule, with something, meaning
prosperity which we must go out and
seek.
80 1 tell William that hope he
won't join the great army of those who
sit down and wait for something to turn
up. He might be struck by lightning,
but the chances are so much against it
that it would be terrible waste of time
to figure 'em out and there wouldn't be
anything coming to him then.
What I hope is that William will
get out and look and dig for what he
wants and not sit down and wait, and
he won't find the competition as keen
as perhaps he thinks, for really there
are not such an everlasting lot of steady,
stick-to diggers There's chance
for every man that means business.
"And then | tell Willie that if he
doesn't get the biggest prize in the
whole world he'll get something, and
something worth having, if he'll only
get out and get to work among men in
the places where the diggings are found.
That's what I'm hoping William
Jr., will do-go out and work like mar
for what he wants; the thing of all 9th
ers that hope he won't do is to SIT
down and wait for something to turn
