Ark, early today, one was wounded
and captured and the other bandits
escaped after battle with Express
Messenger Merrill Burgett, of Kansas
City, Mo-, in which Burgett exhaust
ed his ammunition and was badly
beaten about the head, face and
shoulders and refused to disclose the
hiding place OF valuable packages.
Burgett shot the robber who was dis
covered an hour later after his COM

Burgett is ina hospital at Mena. His

The train, known as No2. arrived at
Hatfield, Ark, about O'Clock. The
train started and Burgctt was busy in
his car when the bandits-elambered up
the side door of the car and smashed
the glass with their revolver bats.
Burgett sprang TO his most valuable
packages, estimates OF the monetary
value of which vary, and, while the
robbers poured into the ear deadl Y
hail Of lead, secreted them. Once the
messenger says bulIett pierced his

door, sprang into the car one by one,
firing on Burgett at brief intervals.
The messenger leaped 10 shelter be-

revolver and shotgun. The train had
attained speed of about thirty miles

INCREASE in
ENROLMENT
State Normal School Has Many
More Students Than
Last Year

TO date the present enrolment in
the East Tennessee State Normal
School includes representation from
twenty East Tennessee counties, one
county in Middle Tennessee, one coun-
ty in West Tennessee, and from the
State of Virginia. The total enroll
ment is far in excess OF the registration
for the corresponding date last year,
and the number Of students In the Res.
servation and Practice School is in ex-
cess of The number attending last year.
New students are entering daily and
with the closing of the public schools
in many counties i'm the course of the
next few weeks, many additional
teachers will register.
One gatlfying indication of progress
is the larger number OF students TAX
ing the courses in Agriculture, Man
ual Training and Domestic Science,
the classes in these departments being
much larger than last year.
The Educational Campaign conduct

President Sidney G.. G1lbreath took a
part Is arousing deeper interest on
the part OF school officials. in the pro-
fess:Onal education and training of
those employed as scLo Il teachers, and
it Is probable that the Board of Edu-
cation will make more rigid require
ments of applicants in the future than
they in the past. This is suggested bv
the recent action of the Board of Edu-
cation for Polk County which has
ordered that beginning with the
school year 1913 no inexperienced
teacher will be employed who has had
less than one years professional train
ing in some Normal School. The OBJ
servance of this regulation will mater
tally advance all public school inter-
ests OF Polk County. Similar regula-
tions are being adopted in many other
counties in East Tennessee, the effect
Of which will be most helpful to the
country public schools.
OF the five hundred teachers who
registered in the Normal School last
year the majority are teaching this
year, and reports from their county
superintendents indicates that they
are proving important factors in the
school. systems of their respective
counties, being prominent in teachers
meetings and in general educational
activities, as well as rendering more
effective service i'm the schoolro0m.
The East Tennessee State Normal
School has only one work to do and
that is TO educate and train teachers
for the public schools. President Gill
breath in all his public addresses. as
well AS in his management of the Nor
mai School, is emphasizing the inn
portance of the country elementary
school and is working Ito make the
State Normal School an influential
agency in the improvement of this
class of schools. lie insists that as
more than three-fonrths of the total
