THE STATE NORMAL AS
SEEN BY AN OUTSIDER

1t was the privilege of the writer
some days ago to visit the grounds of
the state normal for East Tennessee at
johnson City. The school is beautiful
ly located about a mile from the center
of the city. The buildings are splendid
structures and are nearing completion.
The rapid progress with which the
buildings are being completed leads the
management to hope that they will be
able to open school not later than Oc-
tober l.. The prospects for large en-
rollment is said to be very good. This
school was created for the purpose Of
educating teachers for the public
schools of the state and should have
and doubtless will have liberal sup
port from the teachers of the state and
those who contemplate teaching. The
expense to those attending is figured
on an actual cost basis and it appears
to be possible for one to attend full
year, consisting of about nine months
actual attendance, for about $3.50. This
includes board, text books, tuition and
all other expenses, except clothing.
Sweetwater and Monroe county have
more than ordinary interest in this
school. In fact, it has much the APP
pearance of home institution. Prof.
Sidn9y G. Gilbreath, Monroe county
boy, is its president. Prof. ID. b. Simp-
son, of Loudon county, is member of
the faculty; Prof. Sheriff. and Miss
Della Smith, who have been teachers
in our town, are also members OF the
faculty.-Sweetwater Telephone.

a subject merely TO be mentioned. What
happens during the snoring, sleepless
hours Of the night, with foul-smell-

Fish, Of Joliet. ILL.,. declared at the med
ical congress that most OF the blind
ness in the world is the result OF ca
tarrh in the upper nasal cavities OF the
bony cells comprising the roof OF the

DR.. Fish described his experience in
thirty-six cases, covering period OF
several years. claiming that in each OF
these immediate improvement Of the
vision followed the effective treatment
OF the diseased nasal cavities. and ad-
vised that in cases Of loss OF vision fol-
lowing grip. measles, scarlet fever and
kindred ailments. relief be sought
thru treatment Of the noses Of the pa
tents.
Catarrh is caused by germ which
must he destroyed before the catarrh
itself can be cured. II not cured, blind
ness may result. An extended history

fected by the Gauss treatment will
