OF COMMUNICATION
GOOD WORK IS BEING DONE
Members of the Committee Who
Were Appointed to Inspect the
State Normal Make Report

The following is the report of the
city and county superintendents who
were appointed to inspect the East
Tennessee State Normal:
"We, the committee appointed to in
spect the buildings, equipment and the
work of the East Tt nnessee Normal
school, beg to report as follows:
"That we have carefully gone
through the buildings, visiting the
various departments and inspecting
the work of the classrooms, and found,
in each department, splendid type
of work being done.
"That while we cannot mention
separately every phrase of the work,
we are especially pleased with the
courses that are being given in the
manual training department. We feel
that this department is meeting long
felt need.
ave are very much gratified with
the up.to-date equipment and the
quality of work found in the depart
ment of domestic science, and we COM
mend the interest that is being tax, n
by the girls in this department. We
believe that every young lady attend
ing the school should be required to
take, at least years work in this de.
partment.
ain the agricultural department we
found, in the classroom, modern APP
paratus for the study of scientific agri-
culture, and, in the outdoor laboratory
or experiment garden, splendid prac
tice in the practical application of the
principals developed in this depart
ment. The boys doing the field work
are TO be commended for the good
showing made on the varions plats.
''We were pleased to note that a
large number of the teachers are TAX
ing work in the Kindergarten, and we
suggest that all pupils in the normal
course be required to take at least a
limited course in thes department.
ave have thoroughly inspected the
girls dormitory and find it well ar
ranged, splendidIy and conveniently
equipped. It is conducted under strict
regulations and is kept in neat and
sanitary condition.
"We heartily commend President
Grlbreath and the able faculty for the
faultless administration of the school,
and while we find no criticism on the
character of the work, we are sure
that the school in order tc meet de-
mands, must have young mems dor
mitory and building for science and
and agriculture.

most constant uproar. The Wilson
forces were already celebrating their
victory. There no longer was any
doubt as to the result. Mayor Fitzger-
aid withdrew the name of Gov. Foss,
OF Massachusetts, from further consid-
Grafton and declared that 'the old Bay
State" would fall in line for Woodrow
Wilson.
Then a second Fitzgerald was recog-
nized. This time it was the congress
man from Brooklyn, member of the
New York delegation. He made plea
for harmony and ended by suggesting
that further roll.call be dispensed
with and the nomination of Wilson be
made by acclamation. New York, he
said, was ready to vote for the man the
great majority of thetdelegates desired
as their nominee.
The faithful Missourians objected to
this plan because Of their desire to vote
a last time for Speaker Clark.
1t was foregone conclusion what
the result would be as the last call of
the states began. Alabama, which had
started every other call with twenty
four votes for Underwood, changed TO
Wilson, and state after state followed
suit. 1t was just 1916 p. m. when the
solid seventy-siX votes of Pennsylvania
carried Wilson over the winning line,
making his total at the time 733 votes.
The stampede did not end until 800
of the 1,0S8 votes in the convention
had been cast for Wilson. Missouri,
with her thirty-six had been joined on
the last ballot for Clark by twenty-four
of California's twenty-siX votes, by
five delegates from Florida, two from
Louisiana, all six from Nevada, four
from New Jersey, the home state Of
Gov. Wilson; six from the District of
Columbia and one from Ohio. This
little handful readily joined in tie
chorus of acclamation when Senator
Stone moved that the nomination be
made unanimous.
II was 1886 p. m. when Chairman
James officially declared Mr., Wilson
the nominee of his party. There was
an attempt at another demonstration,
but the delegates were too tired to keep
it up long. Then too, the local appro-
priation for band had run out last
night and there was no in
spring music to help along the en-
thusiasm. In this respect the nomi-
nation was unique Every one in the
hall seemed in happy

CONVENTION NOM|-
Mates GOV. WILSON


Baltimore, Juyl 2.-Gov. Wood
row Wilson, of New. Jersey, was made
the presidential nominee of the demo-
cratic national convention this after.
noon session today, when, on the forty
sixth ballot, he received 800 votes TO "a
for Champ Clark. The Missouri dele
CATION, which had remained faithful to
Clark to the end, then moved that the
nomination be made unanimous. There
was a great chorus of approval and the
long fight was over.
Only four ballots were necessary to.
day TO reach nomination. When the
convention adjourned last night the
convention had seemed to in all but
hopeless deadlock. Wilson had begun
to loose ground on the first few ballots
and Champ Clark had made a few tenn
porary gains. This encouraged the
speaker to rush over to Baltimore from
Washington this morning, in the hope
OF still futher turning the tide and rail-
lying his force to final stand.
When he reached here, however he
learned that the Illinois delegation, at
an early morning conference, had de-
cided to switch from Clark to Wilson.
This ment change of fifty eight votes
and was as fatal to Clark's chances as
it was inspiring to the Wilson forces.
Illinois had been expected to break all
day yesterday, and there was deep
goom in the Wilson camp when it
failed to do so.

Stone, of Mississippi, who had been in

climbed to the stage, and when he
could make himself heard, released, in

ded, "she will cast her thirty six votes

Wilson Prospects Brighten

With the change this morning, how
ever, the Wilson forceslwent to the con-
Ventlon hall at noon in the firm belief
that the New Jersey governor would be
nominated before another adjournment
was taken. AS they anticipated, the
vote of Illinois marked the beginning of
the end. West Virgsnia joined hands
with Illinois in going over to Wilson
on the forty-third ballot, the first cast
today.
Wilson jumped from his final vote
of 494 last night to 602 on the fast bal
lot today. The figures told their own
story. The Wilson delegates were jub-
liant as Chairman James directed the
second call of the day. the forty-fourth
of the convention.
The most important change on this
ballot was in the Colorado delegation,
which had been voting IL for Clark
and l for Wilson. This time Colorado
divided 10 to favor of Wilson. Alto
gether the ultimate nominee gained
twenty-seven votes on this ballot. Then
came the forty-fifth. 1t was disappint-
ing in way, for Clark held his own
and Wilson made gain of only four.
There were few in the hall at this
time who did not believe Wilson wonld
win, but they feared it would take
long, long while for him to attain the
725 l-3 votes necessary to nominate. 1t
was realized that there must be de-
cided "break" in the Underwood vote,
which had held firm from the begin
ming before any man could win.

Resolutions
1--WE, the county and city superin.
tendents of East Tennessee, assembled
in convention at the East Tennessee
State Normal chool, wish to express
to the legislature and to the people of
Tennessee, our appreciation of the
wisdom shown in establishing schools
for the training of teachers, and desire
to commend the excellent work that is
going on in the East Tennessee State
Normal.
"We approve the efforts being made
by the friends of education through
out the state for the improvement of
our public school system, but realizing
that so long as the one-room, upgraG-
ed schools exist, large part of both
money and talent is wasted and an
efficient system of rural schools is
impossible, we therefore commend
the efforts being made to consolidate
these schools and thereby insure the
children of the country some of the ad-
vantages now enjoyed by the children
of the city schools. We urge the legis-
latur, to enact a law TO give the coun-
try boards the power TO condemn such
lands as are necessary for school sites.
"Furthermore, we deprecate the lack
of Standardization in the requirements
for teachers license as rendering a
well articulated system Of education i'm
possible, and urge the legislature to
enact such laws as will bring out uni
formity of certification, raise the
standards and otherwise insure the
benefits of certificate that shall be
in every county in the state.
"Realizing, also, that the best talent
in the organization and administration
of these rural schools, we heartily APP
prove of the enactment of such laws
as will insure efficient rural super
vision.
"But progress is impossible unless
adequate provision is made for the sup
port of our schools. We view with re-
gret the fact that Tennessee, despite
the advance that has been made, is
still at the bottom of all the states in
The appropriation per capita of her
school population. We therefore urge
that the next legislature increase the
for educational purposes
TO one-third of the gross resources of
the state.
"We recommend that this confer
,nce be organized into permanent in
stitute to meet annually for one week,
and that the superintendent of all the
of East Tennessee be urged to
attend this institute for the discussion
If questions of interest and concern to
Ill. We ask the state board of educa-
ion to provide for the expenses of su-

Dr.. vickner Resiqns.

One Of the first matters to come
before the G. A. College board was
the resignation Of DR.. E. J. Vickner
who will cease his labors with the
college at the close Of the present
year. DR.. Vickner has been in charge
Of German and Spanish at the col
lege the past eight years and has en-
deared himself to both students and
members Of the faculty. His resig-
nation will also be a matter of regret
to St. Peter people. DR.. Vickner has
accepted a call to the chair of Scan
dinavian languages and literature at
the university Of Washington and
will start his labors there next fall.
The board reluctantly decided to ac-
cept his resignation. They have ex-
tended a call to Prof. R. A. Wallin,
now a teacher in Upsala college.-St.

Further Discrimination.

Last week the railroads Of the
state granted a passenger rate SC
low as to be actually confscatory in
order to encourage travel TO ST.
PAUL. The pretext for the rate cut
was the fact that there was Sun
day school convention being held in
the city.
Letters advertising the rate were
sent broadcast over the state and in
the letters and notices was the state
ment that the low rate offered an ex-
cellent chance for the women to come
to the cities and DO THEIR SPRING
SHOPPING.
Since the first Of January the pas
senger rate TO THE CITIES has
been cut a dozen or fifteen times on
one pretext or other but this is the
first time so far as we know that
the determining motive back Of the
rate cut has been permitted to leak
out.
Never but one time so far as we
have been able to find out has a pas
senger rate since the three cent fare
was announced, been cut to encour-
age travel FROM THE CITIES to
the country town or small city.
This lonesome exception is the
celebrated "fsh pole" rate which goes
into effect June l.
That is, the big city jobbers and
merchants are able at very frequent
intervals to get the railroads to cut
the passenger rates even to rate
that is confscatory in order to slim
ulate city shopping and buying, but
small city merchants, rural fair as
sociations or the managers Of coun-
try gatherings Of any kind are not
able to get a cut rate to help them
out
Why the discrimination ?-Long
