SEEK TEACHING Jobs
Positions Wanted by 48 Nor
NAL School Graduates.
SITUATION LIKE LAST YEAR
Officials Trying to Find Places for
Those Desiring Them.
PREFER TO REMAIN IN CITY
Offers From Out of Town Have Been
Declined in Several
Instances.

"Wanted-Positions as teachers by
forty eight graduates of Normal
School No. 1; all have excellent quail
fications."
Does anybody know of a nice class
of children which has no teacher? If
so, please notify the officials of the
public schools of the District. Yes, it
is the same old problem with which the
school officials were confronted last
year, and according to present ap-
pearances will be confronted this.
OF class of seventy-ive graduates
fitted for teaching grade schools and
nine fitted for teaching kindergartens,
but thirty-six have been disposed Of
up to the present time Twenty-three
of the class have been taken into the
District schools to fill vacancies which
occurred since the class of II gradu
ated. Six have gone to Virginia to
assume teachers responsibilities. three
have secured positions in private
Maryland and two have announced
their intention of marrying; total,
thirty-six. which. subtracted from the
original number of the class, eighty-four,
leaves forty-eight young women fitted
to teach. but without teacherships.
Rather Stay in Washington.
The situation is about the same as last
year. and about the same number of the
class have found positions as had found
them last year at this time. Many re-
quests for teachers have been received
by the school chiefs from neighboring
states, but many of the graduates do not
wish to leave home. or are not satisfied
1,-it bo 10,
prefer to stay mere and take their
chances" of getting District school.
Although it is not incumbent on the
officials of the schools to find positions
for normal graduates. they have done
and are doing much to find the graduates
suitable places. The reason given by the
officials for the plurality of teachers over
positions in the District schools is not
that Dan Cupid has ceased his labors or
anything of the sort, but that now all
graduates of the high schools who have
taken a normal school preparatory course
may enter the normal school, whereas in
former years only a few-those standing
highest by competitive examination
were admitted to the normal school
Inspiration for Girls.
The knowledge that only those Who
stand at the head of their classe- in
the normal school at graduation are GER
tain of positions is said to be quite an
inspiration for the majority of the girls.
The students of every class have pre-
cedence over those of the class preceding
them so that no graduate Of an earlier
class will be appointed to the Washing
ton schools until all the graduates of the
later classes are placed.
Whether they expect to get all OF last
L1f- T,r~,
is a prophecy none of the officials will
volunteer, but in the meantime they are
doing their share toward securing posi-
tions for the graduates.

No effort will be made by the rump
Dibrell-Taylor election board for this
county to hold a registration next
week in Maury county, according to a
statement made this morning by
William Barker, a member of the
board and the probable secretary
should it ever organize. Mr., Barker
said that the board here would fol-
low the advice of Comptroller Dib-

a rump registration or to interfere
in any way with the registration Of
the legal board, He added that he
would not advise any of his following
to refrain from registering because
of the personnel of the board as he
did not want any confusion or turmoil
that could be avoided.

While driving out South Main street

Irelief was had at once, the bleeding
being stopped in a short time. Mr..

FOR ORGANIZATION
OF WOODROW WILSON
CLUB At COLUMBIA
HIS SUPPORTERS HERE WILL
HAVE A MEETING AT AN
EARLY DATE.
SENTIMENT STRONG IN MAURY
At This Time the Courageous Chief
Executive of New Jersey Would Be
a Strong Winner for the Democrat
ic Presidential Nomination Here.

A Woodrow. Wilson Club for Maui
ny county, That is the latest propo-
sition in local politics. 1t is prOba-
Bile that before many moons wax and
wane, or whatel er it is the poets say,
the club aforesaid will be formally
launched upon the rough sea of prac-
teal politics.
Many Democrats here, some Of
them independents" and some Of
them regular" are discussing very
earnestly the ORGANIZATION of such a
club. That Woodrow Wilson is very
strong with the Democrats of Maury
county is evident from a poll of many
in the city and country made by rep
resentatives of The Herald. The fact
is, so far as can be ascertained, Will
son is the only candidate for the Dem
ocratic Presidential nomination who
seems to have any positive follow
ing in this county There are &C.
casional supporters of Harmon and
Champ Clark has some friends and
then there are others who would rath-
err have another chance to vote for
William Jennings Bryan than to vote
for the winning candidate for Presi-
dent. But on the whole Wilson has
probably developed more positive
strength than all of the other candi-
dates put together.
There are many reasons for the
Wilson strength. In the first place
he is a Southerner by birth. A good
many people here have met him, Be-
ing a brother of Joe Wilson, the po-
litical writer on the Nashville Ban
ner, he has been frequent visitor
to Tennessee and several Maury
countians have met and heard him
speak. Then all admire his great
fight on the New Jersey machine and
his subsequent restoration of the
Democratic party to power in that
State after it's having suffered fifteen
years of defeat. Again he is gener-
ally regarded as the ablest candidate
mentioned by the Democrats for the
Presidency.
There are more Wilson boosters in
the State than there are for all the
rest of the candidates put together
and If something does not occur to
change the sentiment, the delegation
from Tennessee to the next National
Democratic convention will be IN
struted for Wilson. 1t is probable
that the call for the organization of
club here will be made within the
month.

INITIAL THROUGH
PASSENGER FROM
SAWDUST VALLEY
PARTY FROM THAT VILLAGE
MAKES TRIP BY RAILROAD
TO NASHVILLE.
NEW ROAD TO B. COMPLETE SOON
Expected That Cars Will Be Running
Into Mt, Pleasant Within a few
Months-G. P. Mayberry Makes the
Trip in a Flat Car.

Passenger service was inauguTated
on the Mt. Pleasant division of the
Middle Tennessee railroad at Sawdust
Valley today when Mr.. and Mrs. Gabe
P. Mayberry and Mr. and Mrs. Jeff
Dorset boarded a car and vent
through to Franklin over the Middle
Tennessee and from there to Nash
vile over the Nashville Interurban.
They were the first passengers" to
make the through" trip by rail fl
Sawdust Valley to Nashville While
the coach upon which they rode could
not be classes with the de luxe apart
! ment cars of the great railway sys-
TENS of the country, it moved the
passengers to their destination.
The party was on fiat" to the
junction of the Mt. Pleasant division
and the main line of the Middle Ten
nessee where they boarded the reg
ular train and rode into Franklin and
thence over the interurban to Nash
vile. Mr.. and Mrs. Mayberry were
bound for Faulkner Springs, Warren
county's noted summer resort, while
Mr.. and Mrs Dorset were en- route for
Texas.
The new railroad is already com.
pleted two miles South of Sawdust
Valley and freight and construction
trains are crossing the bridge over
Duck river every day. The work OF
grading has progressed even further
and rails have been laid to a point
two miles or more from Duck river.
1t is expected that the road will be
completed into Mt. Pleasant by Jan
uary l Of next year and a regular
schedule will be in existence by that
time
The road crosses Duck river west
Of SaWdust and east of Williamsport
and it is believed that when the sta,
ton is established at a point about
midway between those thriving com.
munities that it will ultimately re.
suit in their consolidation.

THE SURVEY FOR APRIL.

In every city thoughtful citizens
regret the mistakes of the past. But
what of a metropolis swept clean by
fire to be built anew? Surely the
result should be a municipality free
from the graver mistakes of our
grandfathers. But San Francisco's
reply writes Alice S. Griffith In the
April Survey, is a city of tenements
and not of gardens. Another article
in this number which deals with liv-
ing conditions is The BitumInous

Western Pennsylvania by w. Jett
Lauck, who made a special study of
the subject for the immigration
Commission.
w. J. Client, author Of Our Be-

eliminating appraisal of the infu-
ence upon public thinking OF the
Appeal to Reason which has brought
socialism to the minds and hearts

Importance of the question and at
the same time furnished the ugly,
unVarnished truth of the answer.
Springfield has conditions prOba-
bly, not unlike those to be found in
many middle western cities which
have not yet thought to ask
or answer the question:" says
Graham Romeyn Taylor in
