At the high school faculty meeting
Tuesday evening various phases of
high school work were discussed
The question of assisting after school
students who have difficulty in the
work received careful attention. The
teachers will remain until o'clock
each evening when it is necessary,
to assist students. At the beginning
of the year 1t is very important that
students beginning new subject
should thoroughly understand the
underlying principles. Otherwise,
the work will be hard throughout
the year. We believe that parents
can assist the teachers by urging the
children who do not clearly under
stand their work to remain after

This week a mother who is an in
telligent woman, and interested in
the welfare of her children. called at
the office to obtain a first year Latin
book. She is familiar with Latin
and will help her children as they
pursue this subject. Her example is
worthy of the consideration of many
parents. A little assistance Judi
ciously given and an interest shown
by the parents in their children s
work, helps the children and helps
the teachers. Incidentally, this In
terest manifested by parent holds
the boys and girls over the trying
period of adolescence and makes them
lovers of home. Companionship is
the best relation between parents
and children as the boys and girls
pass through their teens

who received a blackhand letter
few weeks ago, demanding that
he deposit $500 in the hollow OF

another anonymous letter making

easily killed him. A warning is
continued in the letter that the
money must be forthcoming i'm

have been working on the case

In our opinion a great injustice
has been and is being done q

fidelity to democratic principles,
are expected to repudiate democ.
racy and joins hands with its
enemies in the organization OF
the next General Assembly, and
using the newspaper articles re
ferred to as basis, a great deal
of speculation is going the rounds
as to what may happen when the
legislature convenes on the first
Monday in next month, and some
have been rash enough to assert
that several democrats have al
ready gone over and that the re-
puhiicans and fusionists will or
ganize both houses. We do not
believe word of it. The demo-
Gratis are absolutely in control of
the situation from a legislative
standpoint in Tennessee, there
fore Tennessee democracy will
be responsible for whatever is
done by this legislature, and we
have too much confidence in any
man who claims to be a demo-
crat and who is elected to the
legislature as such, to believe
that any deal can be put over
them by lot of pie hunters, for
the sole purpose of discrediting
the democracy of the State.

Seamen's Bill Is Too
Drastic, Says Alexander

The seamen's bill. which recently pass
ed the Senate. is too drastic in some Of
its provisions. in the opinion Of Chair
man Alexander, of the House Commit
tee on Merchant Marine and Fisheries,
who will handle the measure in the low
er body. Mr.. Alexander says the House
will amend the bin by toning down its
provisions relating to lifeboat equip
ment on vessels sailing inland water
ways.
The bill as it passed the House last
session was mandatory concerning tha
lifeboat equipment of ocean-going ves-
sells. but gave the steamboat inspection
service discretion regarding equipment
on passenger vessels using the lakes and
rivers of the country. Mr.. Alexander
does rot think It best to make a hard
and fast rule for the latter class of
vessels, and regards the Senate bill as
too drastic in this respect.
