that we so educate our youths tina
when their education is completed
they leave home and go to anothe
, section. Tennessee needs and mus
have her own educated citizenship
as we'll as those who come to u
from other states,
Another aim of this institution
has been and shall be in the futur,
to prepare the boys and girls Fol
THE FARM instead Of educating then
AWAY FROM the FARM; as well as fol
business or higher education. In
order to do this the school has had
a course in Agriculture for several
years and expects in the future to
pay more attention to this work
than ever before; and in addition
to this expects to offer its young
ladies practical course in domestic
science,
This year there were twenty four
members of the senior class whose
work met the requirments Of the
school and consequently received
their diplomas. It is sorry state
of affairs. and yet it sometimes is
fact that preparatory students when
they reach their senior year are
permitted to graduate regardless of
whether or not, their work has come
up to the standard required. The
Senior years work in the Prepara-
tory school is the most important of
any and yet all, are important, and
this institution does not feel that it
is doing the student, the State, the
higher institution, or itself justice
to gra ]uate anyone from any de-
partment until the work has been
satisfactor'al completed. and conse-
quently in order to be honest with /
all parties concerned no one is given
a deploma from any department of
the school until that students work
has met the requirments.
