Sha||WeHave atiigh hooinMcNairy County?


HERE was spent in As counties of Tennessee last
year for County High School purposes $3l8,l77.
McNay county did not get the of penny of this
money, though paid taxes to help support the High
Schools in the other counties During last year 7546
boys and girls and young and young received
instruction in the County High Schools of the state but
not one Of these lives in McNairy county
1t is than our duty to give the boys and girls
OF McNary county an opportunity to acquire high school
education. We pay taxes to maintain State University
and three Normal Schools good the best where
young and young women may finish their education
But make provision for that most essential part of
the education which and must come between the
elementary school and the Normal School or State Uni
versty Why should person be compelled to leave the
public schools of the State to get part of his education
and then allowed to re-ener to finish it? The lack Of
Public High Schools is the missing link in our public school
system.
In arguing against the County High School the state
ment sometimes made that will benefit only those who
live in the town where is located But this statement
cannot be substantated The annual report Of the State
High School Inspector shows that considerably half
the pupils come from the country There are boys and
girls all over the country who finish the elementary school
and stop their education because there is no other
school provided by the school officials to which they may
20, when if there public high school in the county
they would continue their studies
We need County High School in the county in order
that all the boys and girls may have opportunity and
nducement to 90 higher in their studies and to make
of themselves broader and valuable men and women
But one Of the greatest needs for high school is pre-
pare better teachers for the rural schools of the county
The greatest demand that being made upon the school
board and the one that is hardest to meet is the demand
for better qualified teachers. Was your home school
taught this winter by person who was thoroughly quail
ed and you willing to continue the services Of this
person. would you like who is better educated

What are we coming to? The
women are killing their husbands
and any other fellow whom they
sour on. Memphis and Nashville
seem to be the chief fields for the
fatal pistol in the hands Of irate
women. 1t is barbarous enough
for men to shoot each other, but
it looks unnatural for a woman
to 60 armed, and shoot so true to
aim. They are better shots than
men.

and therefore who give you better servce If your
school taught by thoroughly competent teacher
you not think Of your district that taught
by teachers who not really entitled to teach because
of the fact that they do not know that which they at
tempt to teach?
There some 35 teachers in the county who were
exempt from taking the examinations last OF
the So who took the entire examination only l5 made the
average required for certificate Of those who took
the examination and failed to pass "a teaching and
there probably others teaching emergency certf

you not know many teachers in the county who at
tended higher institution of learning than the rural
schools where they are teaching While discussing the
compulsory attendance law few days ago, gentleman
who earnestly advocates better schools said to me:
Shonld child be compelled to attend school where the
teacher does not know as much as the childw
The school board is not to blame for putting out teach
who not competent The schools have to be taught
and the board only the best available material
There only way to have corps of better teachers
in the county and that to make the;n better And the
making of the greater part of them must take place in
county Teachers cannot be compelled to attend
school, They will attend only when the proper induce
ments given. If had enough competent teachers
to reach the schools Of the would be easy enough
to say You must be educated properly before you
teach But do not have the proper number and shall
never have until give them an opportunity to attend
school in their home county.
county high school can be established in McNairy
county without raising the taxes taking money
from other funds We have nearly all the school build

AGED 149, PEEVISH WHEN
ASKED TO REPEAT HIS AGE
Chinese Doctor, Years Resting
Lightly on Queueless Head,
Angry with Skeptics.

Or. Chao Choy hasn't a hair on his
head. but even at that he doesn't look d
day over eighty. The place where a
century ago there grew a long queue
is now as smooth as a billiard ball and
about as glossy. In that venerable
skull however, is an active brain that
can recall events happening 139 years
ago, when DR.. Choy was = lad of ten.
When the tall Manchurian medicine
man came ashore at the Battery from
Ellis Island yesterday rumors soon
spread about the waterfront that the
oldest man in America had come to
town, and hotel runner ventured that
Or. Chao Choy could make a fortune
just now at Coney Island.
The doctor, however. is not here to
exhibit himself even If he is l4J years
old. The climate of Cuba. where he
has lived for fifty-one years, has be-
come too warm for him, so he has
selected Toronto for his future home.
The Oriental "anciano." as they call
him i'm cuba, came north from Havana
on Friday on the Ward liner Mexico.
accompanied by seven Chinese infants
ranging in age from forty-five TO fifty.
The immigration officials were some
Nhat surprised at the age given by DR..
Chao Choy. They thought he might
possibly be a few years younger than
l49, and asked about it. The ancient
man from China waxed trine peevish
when his age was questioned, and ex-
planned in fair English that he was 1i9.
II was his age. and surely he ought to
know. He said he was born in Ching
Wang Tao in 1854. Like WI Ting
fang. the former Chinese Minister to
Washington, he believes he will live at
least fifty years longer.
