Steel Superseding Wood.

The substitution OF steel for wood
goes steadily on. Beginning Will
January /. or whereabouts, the Ma
tional Lead Company win pack its
white lead in steel kegs, having de
cided 10 abandon the use of wooden
kegs. This innovation is made be
cause the company has concluded tha,
steel kegs win have many advantages
over the wooden kegs. In the first
place, the steel package does not alb
serb the oil from the lead as porous
wooden packages do, and there is
therefore, no drying and caking OF
the lead around the edges, making it
possible to remove every particle Of
white lead easily from the steel keg.
The new steel kegs also will be much
lighter, as well as being stronger than
the wooden ones, and this will effect
a saving in freight charges. Taking
up less room than the wooden kegs
the new steel package also will save
storage space.

LAUoARLE ENrERPRIsE.

A plan has been created among the
Nashville city teachers which shall
have for its object the assistance in
the higher education or some OF the
graduate of Pearl High School who
wish a collegiate education but are
prevented by lack of means.
Several months ago DR.. F. G. Smith
brought the matter before the teach
ers in a meeting at Pearl High School
and the teachers voted to have one
representative from each school meet
in conference with him and formulate
plans for its execution. At Pearl
High School, April LIST, the following
schools were represented: Pearl, DR..
F. G. Smith; Belleview, DR.. R. S.
White; Carter, Mrs Jennie Honesty;
Clifton, Miss Eva Greene; Hadley,
Mrs. j. H. Lapsey; Knowles, Mrs.
Eddie M. Dickerson; Lawrence, Miss
S. A. Jackson; Meigs, Prof. T. B.
Hardiman; Napier, DR.. ]. I. Watson;
PEBBLES, Miss N. o. Frazier Dr..
Smith was elected chairman and Mrs
Dickerson secretary of the meeting.
Quite a deal of business was tran
sacted, and copy of the rules govern
ing the fund will be sent by the sec
rotary to each school to be submit
ted to the teachers, so that they may
be prepared to vote at the next nor
nal meeting.
We are glad to say that this enter
prise has met the approval of every
city teacher and they are willing to
give a part of their means for its sup

Y. M, L. CLUB.

The greatest event that has ever
occurred in the history of the Young
Mems Literary Club was the celebra-
ton of its fourth anniversary on Mon
day night, April 4, at the First Baptist
Church. A very nice program was ar
ranged and carried out, with some ex-
ceptions, the main feature of which
was an address by Prof. Richard Hill
on Reading This was indeed a
forceful address. The speaker made
a most eloquent appeal for more
reading on the part of individuals.
The address, as delivered was
stamped indelibly upon the heart and
mind of each one present.
The High School Glee Club also
did great credit to itself ON this oc-
casion, by rendering two very highly
enjoyable selections. From their
singing on this occasion it seems that
a rare treat is in store for lovers of
music on April II, when they will
give their concert at Mount Olive
Church.
From beginning to end all seemed
enjoyable. Each member at roll
call responded with quotations and
the program was carried out as at
ordinary meetings.

EDITOR JONES OF THE SOUTH

The principal speaker this year at
the Commencement of the Meharry
Medical College will be Rev. Robert

Southwestern Christian Advocate. The
fact that Meharry has secured the
services of DR.. Jones adds another inn
portant chapter to the school record.
DR.. Jones is filing unique position,
the position vacated by the Rev. DR..
l. B. Scott on being elevated to the
bishopric. AS editor Of the Methodist
Episcopal Church's organ, DR.. Jones is
known throughout the United States
as brilliant writer and speaker. He
will address Meharry's largest class,
and the audience that will hear him in
Nashville will no doubt add more in
spiration to the occasion. 1t has been
some time since DR.. Jones visited
Nashville, but his host of Acquaintance
es and many admirers are waiting pa
tiently for the evening of April 14th,
when he delivers the Commencement
address.

EXPRESSES THANKS.

The Y. M. l.. G. wishes to use this
as means of thanking Prof. Hill for
his very helpful address. The words
were as good seed and, we trust soWn
in good soil and surely the harvest
will abound in good fruit therefrom.
Such persons as he cannot but reap
a great reward for such instructions
as he gave.
We also wish to thank the Glee
Club and it's management for the
great service rendered. Long will
its kindness be remembered.
The kindness of DR.. Ellington and
the members of First Baptist Church
will never be forgotten and we wish
to return to them our sincere thanks
In general we would say to the
many friends who wished us well
that we we're highly gratified by their
presence and to those who were MOI
present but remembered the occasion
we are grateful to you.
The main idea for the celebration
was to increase our library so tina
we should not have to be hamperet
for the lack of material when we at
tempt to carry out our programs
We are earnestly hoping that ever
one will contribute at least one boo
to the library. We feel that you ar
interested in our success and believ
that you will grant this favor. MI
