UNCLE NATHAN BRAKENs.

Unlle Nathan Brakens, one of the
best known and most highly respect
ed citizens of Grundy county and the
only colored resident of Beersheba
Springs, Tenn, departed from this
life Tuesday, July II, 1911, at a ripe
old age of between 102 and 112 years.
Uncle Nathan came to the mountain
in the ante bellum days, when Beer
sheba Springs was in its infancy, as
slave of Mr.. John Armfeld. His
early life was spent in the south,
Laving been sold to different slave
holders. Finally he was bought by
Mr.. Armfeld, the founder of Beershe-
ba Springs. who was very fond OF
him and whose last request was that
Uncle Nathan should be buried near
him. Uncle Nathan was the father
of twelve children, Of which number
five survive him. He was devoted
husband and loving father; he pos
sessed one of those sterling charac
tiers of patience and endurance. AL
though he was passed a century in
years, his health was splendid until
the last year of his life; he was able
to attend his own crop every year
except this one. He was always jol
ly and looked on the bright side Of
life. Uncle Nathan will be missed
by all who knew him. In the las
months of his life, he prayed ant
sang praises to God constantly ant
died with a prayer on his lips. AL
though he was not a Christian, W,
believe that the Holy Father heart
his feeble prayers and saved him II
his dying hour. His funeral wa
we'll attended by both black ant
white.

THE TRAINING OF MIDwIvEs.

Not many weeks ago DR.. John Win
tiers Brannan, president of the board
of directors of Bellevue and Allied
Hospitals, announced to those inter-
ested that within few months a
school for the training of midwives,
the first in this country, would be es-
tablished in connection with Bellevue
Hospital The significance Of this
is considerable, for there is obviously
the closest possible connection be-
tween the midwife question and that
of the prevention of blindness In
babies. AS the Survey has put 1t,
about one-half the children born In
large cities are delivered by mid
wives and about one-third the cases
of preventable blindness are due to
ophthalmia neonatorum. To recog-
nize the dangerous condition OF a
aby's eyes, to apply the remedy with
out exceeding the proper quantity,
and to report the whole matter to the
Board of Health, is plainly too great
a responsibility for an unframed and
illiterate woman to discharge; partic-
ularly as competent investigation
within the past few years has shown
that many midwives in New York as
we'll as in other large cities are not
prepared for their work, are not con-
scientious, and are not even clean.
The institution has been apparent
for some time without provoking any
thing more useful than debate. At last
the workers for the prevention of
blindness began to urge that since
the institution of the midwife was not
in Itself curse, inasmuch as in for
eign cities, with careful training and
supervision; it worked out well; and
since the families of the poor would
be obliged to employ these women in
any case, because of the lesser cost
of their services.-the only course
was to train them and raise their
standard. And DR.. Brannan's plan is
as he himself comedies direct result
of the committees persuasive advo
cacy.
The idea is not to discourage appli
cants at first by presenting too LONG
and elaborate a course of instruction
three months being suggested as the
minimum and six months as the maxi
mum. Only nominal fee will be re
quired. Women speaking any lang
uage will be admitted and will be
taught in their own language. After
completing the course, the graduates
will be supervised at intervals, to see
that they keep rigidly up to the stand
ard that has been set them.
This scheme in itself will involve al
important social reformation, but The
workers for the prevention Of blind
ness insist that the matter should no
stop here. They are therefore work
ing actively 10 bring about Legislation
which shall gradually limit the prac
tice of midwifery to regularly school
ed and graduated women.-From do
ing Away with Blindness" by Olivi'
Howard Dunbar, in the American Re
view Of Reviews for August.

blunders involving the legality of the
procedure or placing candidates In
embarrassing predicaments, and then
said that notwithstanding all the
boy play" and legal tangles. every
thing had been placed on the ballot
that anybody had asked for, and the
voters could express their choice at
the polls.
Mr.. Chapman made this the SUBJ
ject of bitter criticism in his speech
at the rally Monday night, and but
for his reference to it we doubt II
anybody, or more than a few, would
have thought of connecting him with
the remark. 1t was new thought
to the writer of the article. In fact,
we thought we had been very gener-
GUS to him and his ticket, criticising
our own party as severely as the
others, acknowledged the laundering
of our own party and their violation
of political ethics, complimented Mr..
Chapman for his able speech of nom-
nation, made no criticism of his can
d;date, and yet came in for the un-
kindest things he could find to say
of us.
Not satisfied with placing the
wrong construction upon our utter
ances, he made the statement that
two years ago the Republican con-
Quoted a campaign libel and villifi-
cation against Mr.. Modem but in this
campaign turned about and said he
was a moral man, that if one of the
elect from Heaven received nomin-
alton on a ticket opposing the Repub-
lican, he would be painted as black
as Satan.
We call his attention to the fact
that not a word of comment on Mr..
Modem was published by us in that
campaign and our files are evidence of
it. If Mr.. Chapman is honestly mis-
taken in his statements and wants
to be perfectly fair in politics he will
satisfy himself of this fact and &C
cept our invitation to use the columns
of the Republican to correct his error
and get right before the people. We
should regret exceedingly to publish
anything that would do him an in
justice politically, and we ask the
same considerate treatment at his
hands.

FOR THE RURAL SCHOOL

One of the professors in an Illinois
polytechnic institution has suggested
cooperative plan by which % rural
schools shall combine to employ a
supervisor who shall visit each school
at stated intervals and personally d.
rect the work. He estimates the cost
to each S hool will be about $50. He
says: 81 believe a farmer would pay
that much in order that his colts
might become better horses, and !
also believe he will do that much in
order that his boys shall become bet
ter men," Certainly the average boy
in the rural school needs manual
training a great deal more than does
the average boy in city school. 1t
is true that the country boy has many
more opportunities for making things
with his hands than the city boy, but
this very fact proves that manual
training is of greater necessity to the
boy in the country, and, any way,
there is no reason why the city boy
should have the advantage of manual
training and the boy in the country
be deprived of 1t.

AN ART EXHIBIT BY THE CITY
SCHOOLS
Copies Of the Masterpieces will be
Seen i'm BlackfOOt During
the First Week in May

Recognizing the educational advan-
tages to be derived from opportunities
to see good art, the city schools have
made arrangements with A. w. Elson
company, of Boston, for an art exhib-
it more than 200 pictures. This col
lection, ,onsisting in large part of
carbons and photographers made d.
rectly from the original masterpieces,
is selected by art experts, and should
attract large crowds OF people. A
small admission will be charged, the
entire proceeds of which, after de-
Quoting local expenses, will be used
for the purpose of pictures for decor
ating the walls of the various school
rooms of the city.
The purpse of the exhibit is there
fore two-fold: first, to give the people
of the community an opportunity OF
seeing collection of the worlds mas
terpieces in painting, sculpture and
architecture. Second, to make it pos
sible for the schools to own some of
the pictures and make use of them
to inspire higher ideals in the child
rem who pass through the grades of
our city schools in the next genera
tons.
There will be several lectures on
art subjects during the week and
special programs are being arranged
for the evening sessions.
The school children will sell tickets
over town at 10 cents each, and an
excellent picture will be given the
room or grade that sells the greatest
number of tickets.
1t is hoped that all will take hold
of this matter and make the exhibit
a pronounced success from the first
day to the last.
