Teachers Meeting

The Teachers Meeting last FRIDAY
and Saturday was well attended by
the teachers of the county, and was
full of interest throughout. Rev. w.
w. Carson, Principal of The Tazewell
High School, presided, and Miss
Turk was secretary. Besides other
interesting papers and addresses the
reports from the representatives of
the association who attended the re-
cent State meeting in Richmond,
were of special interest. We heard
the report made by Mrs, Burton. of
Graham, specially complimented.
Wonderful progress is noted in the
growth of the schools of this county
inmany ways, and in nothing more
than in the personnel and size of this
teachers association,

the last few days and such extreme
measures will not have to be resorted
to.
The proposal to renew football re-
lations with V. p. |. next fall and
play them in Richmond has fallen
through. The question of playing V.
p. l. was submitted to the Universe
ty by one of the prominent dailies of
Richmond which is heartily in favor
of seeing the athletic relations of the
two largest state schools renewed.
After consideration of the question by
the General Athletic Committee it
was decided by them that the game
would in all probability endanger the
present friendly feeling between the
two centers of learning.
The students of the University are
in favor of the game and bear the
greatest good will toward Y. p. |. on
account of the attitude of the V. P.I.
team at the time of the unfortunate
accident last fall that resulted in the
death of one of the Virginia players,
when the team sent magnificent
floral tribute in expression of their
sympathy. The reasons given by the
G. A. c. do not find approval among
the students and there is a general
sentiment among them that the game
should be played.
Kemper Yancey, one of the best
players that Virginia has had in
years, will coach the football team
next fall. He will succeed Charlie
Crawford.

Rev. JOS. Cannon, Jr.

Rev. Jas. Cannons removal from
the State is decided loss to the
State. He is one Of Virginias fore
most citizens. He takes charge of
the general SUPPLEMENTARY of the
Southern Assembly, to be located at
WayDesville, n. c. The splendid
success and marvellous growth of
Blackstone Female Institute, of which
he has been president for years and
the successful work of the Anti-Sa-
loon League, of which he is supcrin-
tendent, have all been due largely to
his business ability and push. The
State loses one of its hest aud most
useful men by his departure.

Notes From the University.
Charlottesville. Jan. 2

CnarlotteSVllle, Jan. n.
The University of Virginia began
it's second term with slight increase
in the student attendance, fully TWEEN
ty-five men registering in the differ
ent departments. Most of these have
entered the Law School which speaks
well for the extension of the former
two year course to the present one of
three years. Very few men failed to
return when the esssion opened and
the faculty feel well pleased with the
good showing made by the students in
their examinations.
President Edwin A. Alderman was
forced to give up the active work of
the University for a time on account
of i'll health, and is at Atlantic City,
N. j., recuperating. He expects to
be absent about month or until his
health justifies his again taking up
the many cares accompanying the
needs of a large university. During
his absence Dean J. M. Page, head
of the Academic department, is act
ing as head of the University.
Owing to the fact that number
of the schools Throughout the state
have been forced to close for short
time on account of sickness among the
students and to stop its spread, the
University medical authorities have
been asking extra precautions to min
imize the danger of the students
catching conta siuos diseases. The
few cases of pink eye that have been
reported have been isoalted and the
men not perm tied to come into con-
tact with the rest of the student
body. A special notice was issued by
the Medical faculty calling the atten-
ton of the students and boarding
house keepers to the need of protect
ing themselves against the disease
and in reporting all cases SO soon as
they appeared. One of the dormito-
Ties has been made ready for students
to be isolated in case more care need
be taken to prevent it's spread, but
no new cases have developed during
