HIGH School AND
THE PROMOTION Of
TRUE CITIZENSHIP
TAUGHT PRACTICAL THINGS IN
MANUAL TRAINING AND 9TH
Err DEPARTMENTS.
COOPERATIVE FROM ENTERPRISE
What Has Been Done in a Michigan
School the Past Several Years.
Methods Attracting Attention of
the National Government.

WASHINGTON, Oct. boys in
the lshpeming, Mich, High School
repair the school buildings for pay
conduct a cooperative school farm
Tor profit, and are about to erect a
gymnasium for their school in the
same business-like way they have
learned to do other things for them
selves and the community. All this
work is under the supervision of the
regular school authorities, according
to II. w. Foght, of the United States
bureau of education.
For the past six years Mr.. Foght
states high school students from the
manupal training department have
been employed to repair the various
city school buildings. During one
summer $4,000 was thus paid for stu.
dent labor The boys have repaired
roofs, laid cement floors, built brick
walls and installed plumbing fixtures
The gymnasium to be erected by the
|boys is from plans drawn by seniors
in the high school.
Particularly successful has been
the cooperative farm enterprise. Su.
perintendent Scribner induced the
board of education to rent patch OF
ground on the edge of the city, and
at the same time procured $500 for
development expenses. Sixty.four
boys responded to call for volun-
teers to form an association. They
were Immediately organized into
three working squads, each with its
own boss" The boys made their
own rules, and they carry them out.
Strict discipline is enforced, and the
drones are discouraged. As a first
step six acres were planted to pota.
toes, cabbage and strawberries. 1t is
the plan ultimately to plant twenty
acres in strawberries for the north
ern markets. The boys receive 10
cents an hour for their labor, and
they are to have IN cents additional
when the products are marketed.
These plans to meet the actual
needs of the community through it's
schools developed out of peculiar 10
cal conditions. Ishpeming is a min
| ing and industrial town of 10000 in
nabitants in the upper Michigan pc
ninsular. Under the state law chill
dren are not allowed to work in the
mines and factories until they are Is
years of age The compulsory age is
IA. AS there are almost no other in
ldustries in the region, there is more
than the usual danger of drifting
on the part of growing boys. 1t was
to meet the problem of these boys
that the practical experiments were
Undertaken, and the results have am
ply justified the efforts Not only
have the boys become interested in
school, but their Parents have haG
brought to them in thoroughly un
derstandable way the direct econom

he turned to the officer with a look
OF Indignation on his face and said:
Had a thousand lives to live,
Had | a thousand lives to give,
Ia lose them-nay I'd gladly die,
Before I'd live one life lie."
The fifteen minutes had already
passed, and turning his back upon
the last officer of pardon, with firm
steps Sam Davis assembled the scat
fold stairs. When he reached the
top he beheld before him, swinging
to and fro in the chilly Autumn
wind, the rope which in few short
moments was to carry him from
time to eternity.
The chaplain said short prayer.
AS our hero stepped upon the fatal
trap, the sun came from behind a
cloud, the glad omen of a victory
won.
All, those four years of a ma
tons life. Full was the cup: there
was many a joy for victory that fol-
lowed our flag. That flag that des-
cended like an airship from it's TO DIS
to crown battles, where bravery
laughed at war. When the cup
overran we drank the poisoning
dregs. pledging as we did so to be
itrue to our stars and bars. We chill
dren of the Confederacy bear in our
hearts a cause that we must keep;
the ever living cause of the South.
Friends we are the children of a
great republic, crowned with the
greatest freedom. Do we know how
to appreciate its value? Some of
you gathered here know what it cost.
Count it not in cold figures of arith-
metic or in the value OF the indivi-
dual man in the worlds commerce.
But by vacant chairs at so many
firesdes, by the privations, by the
heart-agonies, by the sleepless nights
and long vlgils. by the deds and suf-
ferings of heroic women by the tears
OF mother, wife and sister, by the
bowed heads of the gray-haired man
| from whom went forth the Joy and
support of his declining years, by
the great army of martyrs.
The offerings we bring fade away
and perish, but the glory you won
is immortal. No wonder day like
this the whole South wakes to the
reveille of the morning stars, and
brings it's offerings to this dead hero
luntil night stations its starry pickets
above his grave.
Brave boy was he, gone at his
country's call. How the old songs
come back and eyes grow dim. His
hand is waiting to clasp yours as of
old, and his lips to ask what of the
great cause for which he died. And
as you, the star actors in the thrill
/ ing drama make your exit behind
| the sable curtains OF death and go
to Join that heroic throng, gathering
for the last great muster, take this
message to him, 1--WE have one coun-
try, one people, free and united, from
gulf to lake, from sea to sea-"

0B|ON AGLOW FOR
LAW ENFORCEMENT
At EXTRA SESSION
BIGGEST MASS MEETING SINCE
THE cARMAck.PATTERsoN
DEBATE.
STANTON .GETs GOOD ROAST
Action Condemned in Strong Reso,u.
lions, and McDade, Cochran and
Elkins Urged to Support the Law
Enforcement Bills.

: UNION CITY, Tenn, Oct. THE
largest mass meeting since the days
of Carmack and Patterson was held
in the court house today for the pur-
pose of giving expressions on the law
enforcement bills to be presented to
the extra session of the legislature
The meeting was called to order by
D. P. Caldwell, who after presenting
the purpose of the meeting and out
lining its duties toward the measures
presented, declared that every citizen
of Obion county regardless of politi-
cal aftiliation should support the
measure and demand recognition by
Mr.. Stanton, or an impeachment by
law enforcement members. Speeches
were made by G. R. McDade and Dr.
F. M. McRee, favoring law enforce
ment.
j. F. Smith was elected chairman,
and county press representatives
were made secretaries. A resolu-
tons committee of seven was ap-
pointed by the chair and their report
was adopted unanimously as follows:
Whereas, the State of Tennessee
through the democratic patry has al
ways been advancing to the prohibi-
ton state, the issue has come to that
of law enforcement, the question be-
ing whether or not the state shall tri-
umph over the outlawed liquor traffic
in the larger cities and uphold the SUI
premacy of law and order.
I'VE condemn the past action and
conduct of Speaker Stanton in refus-
ing to allow majority of the house
of Representatives to speak or vote in
behalf of the law enforcement meas
ure before the house of representa-
tives. We believe such action is
i treason to the dignity to the state of
Tennessee. An impeachment pro-
ceeding is the only safe and sane
course for law enforcement members
/ to proceed with for the protection of
state and peoples rights against liq-
uor.
Whereas, at this particular time
the eyes of the nation are upon Ten
nessee and her officials in legislative
capacity over this vital issue, there
! fore be it
Resolved, That we, the citizens of
Obion county, assembled in mass
4 meeting at the court house, endorse
the action Of members of the legisl-
ture, assisted by our own representa-
tive, G. R. McDade, and Hon. J. L..
Cochran and Senator Elkins, in their
efforts to pass the law enforcement
bills at the recent session of the leg
islature, and
Resolved, further, That we favor
an act to define more specifically the
the abatement of public nuisances, or
any kind of business prohibited by
law. We favor an act to prohibit the
shipment of liquor into the state. or
shipment from one county t. 10th
er. We favor an act to empower
proper courts to remove county and
municipal officers for failing to per-
form their official duty. We beg of
our members of the senate, Hon. Rob
ert Elkins, and House Members Nc
Dade and Cochran to support these
measures mentioned here, believing
it will restore peace and harmony In
Tennessee and place the democratic
party in power in state affairs.
