way Of opportunity, both to the teach
er and to the child To the teacher,
IL is an opportunity to impart knowl.
edge, to guide efforts, to develop
power, to form habit, to mould char
acter, to deepen impression. To the
child it is an opportunity to acquire
knowledge, power and skill, and to
catch glittering ghmpses of the great
sunlit valley Of truth from the glow
ing hill tops Of the teachers inspira-
ton. A great teacher with a pent up
personality throbing with desire to
help others is always the center of
an unconscious influence that shapes
the life and character Of childhood,
but the school room is the place and
time where that influence becomes
conscious and active, and where the
teacher, with deliberate premedita-
ton, with a definite purpose and with
a well-Drepared plan, tries TO aid and
direct the child and to control his
life and his destiny.
Many other prominent educators
spoke at the meeting. Among them
being Mr.. B. j. Carr, Director of In
dustries at the State Normal. Mr..
Carr made a straightforward, bust
ness address and was heartily APP
plauded by the members of the Asso-
citation. He told of the efforts he had
put forth to have the State Normal
established and Of the progress the
institution was making. It was in
teTesting indeed to hear him tell of
the struggle he had to overcome many
obstacles that were thrown in the
way of the establishment Of the
school It is not generally known
that so much opposition was hurled
against this institution that the Ne
groes of Tennessee so much deserve.
But Mr.. Carr was plain in his state
ments and did not mince words in
telling just how the fight was con-
Quoted The efforts put forth by this
man single-handed are not generally
known by the people, but there are
those who were in a position to know
at that time who can testify to the
fact that il was the efforts of Mr.
Carr that made the State Normal a
reality. He has not relinquished the
fight as yet, and is as vigorous today
in prosecuting the interests OF the in.
stitutlon as he was before it was es.
tablished. AT the conclusion Of his
address he extended a general invita-.
ton to the teachers and visitors to
make trip out to the State Normal
School grounds Saturday evening
which was accepted, and at the ap-
pointed hour Saturday a train of cleo
trio cars was loaded at the corner OF

the trip was begun to the State Nor
mai grounds. Only one stop was made,
that being at Fisk University, where
several of the teachers and students
of that institution joined the process
sion. En- route to the grounds DR..
Carr invited the delegates and teach
ers to inspect the proposed site for
the Negro Park; and after reaching
the school grounds the delegates
went on record as heartily approving
of the site under consideration and ex-
pressed the hope that in the near flu
ture the Negroes of Nashville would
be enjoying the privileges offered by
a firSt-elaSs park, Mr.. Carr was the
handy man on the school grounds; he
was TO be found everywhere, and
aided by his eongenial wife, made
everybody feel at home while on the
State Normal grounds. The teachers

High Schools.

The following counties have high
schools: Anderson, Campbell Cheat
ham, Cooke, Fentress, Franklin,
Hamilton, Henry johnson, Knox,
Lake, Lauderdale, Lawrence, McMinn,
Meigs, Monroe, Montgomery, Rhea,

White.
in these twenty-three counties there
are So high schools with a total en-
rollment Of 3,1G7 pupils All these
are white high schools, outside of the
cities and a few large towns. There
is not one colored high school in the
state.
recommendations
I recommend that there be an edu-
cational campaign waged in each
county Of the state, but in order to
realize the full benefit Of such a cam
paign, 1t shall be followed by an Or
ganzation crystalizing the sentiment
and directing 1t along proper lines or
action.
! further recommend that this meet
ing appoint a general committee to
wage such campaig', ana the Gre
ating Of such an educational organi-
cation in each county among the col
ored citizens.
The school room is the enchanted
ground Of pedagogy; the sacred spot
where two souls meet, each to inhu-
ence and to be influenced by the
other; the trysting place of truth and
power, where they loiter, that they
may be seized and used by the child
who has the courage to make the
capture; the mart of the mind where
earnest effort Is the only coin needed
to purchase a whole kingdom of mo-
raj, intellectual and spiritual truth.

times the fox does many stunts which

which make it hard for the dog. If the
dog does not follow he cannot 60 on

join the ring. Then the fox becomes

the dog captures the fox he becomes
the fox for the new game and the fox
goes into the ring. Then a new dog
is chosen. When the ring ia very

TRADES OF LITTLE ANIMALS
Bees Are Geometricians, While Mole
10 Meteorologist and Many Birds
Are Musicians.

Bees are geometricials. The cells
are constructed so that with the least
quantity Of material they have the
largest spaces and least possible loss
of interstice.
The mole is meteoroligtst. Eels
are electricians. The nautilus is a
navigator; he raises and lowers his
sails-casts and weighs anchor, and
performs other nautical acts.
Whole tribes of birds are musicians.
The beaver is an architect, builder
and wood cutter; he cuts down trees
and erects houses and dams.
The marmot is a civil engineer: he
not only builds houses, but constructs
aqueducts and drains to keep them
dry.
The white ants maintain a regular
army OF soldiers. Wasps are paper
manufacturers. Caterpillars are silk
spinners. The squirrel is ferryman:
with chip or piece Of bark for a
boat and his tail for sail he crosses
the stream. Dogs, wolves, jackals
and many others are hunters. The
monkey is a rope dancer. The black
bear and the heron are fishermen, and
the busy ants are regular day laborers.

had not required food for some
months and showed signs Of wanting
something to eat the other day. In con-
sequence full-sized goat was intro
duced. After the goat had tried an
Intellectual butt" the python caught
him by the muzzle, and in one moment
had enveloped him in his coils, killing
him instantly. The python then pro-
ceeded to swallow him whole, which
occupied, in two efforts, about quar-
ter of an hour. When we saw the
python a few hours after his orgy,
there was a sort Of leery smile on his
face and a bulge in his middle which
must have measured over four feet
round. The animals are the property
of DR.. Herzej, who is taking them
home to Europe.

SECRET OF COL ORED FLOWER
Green Carnations and Pink Lilies
Made So by !nmerslng Stems In
Aniline Solutions.

At recent flower show spectators
we're astonished at the sight Of odd
colored flowers-green carnations,
pink lilies Of the valley, deep scarlet
narcissi and other flowers just as re-
markable. The coloring was beauti-
fully delicate and soft, and for time
every one supposed that some clever
gardener would make his fortune from
the discovery of these new and mar
velous varieties of flowers. As mat
ter OF fact, the coloring of the flowers
was so simply done that nearly any
clever boy or girl could do it with sue
cess. The whole secret lies in i'm
mersing the stems of the fresh cut
flowers in various kinds of aniline So
lutions.
Aniline scarlet dissolved in water to
about the transparency Of claret has
a very rapid action on flowers, color
ing them pink and scarlet. Indigo
carmine produces beautiful blue tints.
The two combined give various shades
of purple, with curious notified effects.
some parts Of the flowers becoming
pink and other parts blue and purple.
Greens are produced by using the blue
dye with yellow. Lily of the valley
flowers became beautifully tinged with
pink or blue in six hours; narcissi are
changed from pure white to deep scar
let in IL hours, and delicate shades Of
pink are impaired to them in very
short time. Yellow daffodils are beau
tifully striped with dark scarlet in IL
hours
Moreover it is extremely interesting
to watch the color creep into the pure
until they become a rich blue or pink
or scarlet.

You hear people quote an old say

does not mean garden beds, but real
