INTERESTING NEW YORK HIGH SCHOOL
(By Prof Harry clark University of Tennessee)

In October. the General Education
Board generously invited one OF US
from each of the Southern states to
go TO New York City, at their eN-
pense, in order TO study its school sys-
tenn and see what lessons We could
bring back for our own states. Two
schools which We visited would espe-
cially interest you, the Washington
Irving High School for girls and the
Stuyvesant High School for boys.
The Washington Irving High School
was built to hold 5000 girls; but when
it was opened with its attractive
courses, $500 girls applied. The school
had to be divided into a morning sec
ton, an afternoon section, and a night
school. Even then about 1900 girls
had to be turned away.
There are three ideals. Every girl
must leave there with a healthy body.
To that end, much stress is laid on
gymnastic training, and there is an
effore to free the girls from that neTv-
Gus strain and worry which | find in
leave it to the mothers who may
read this article to decide whether
girls should not he free from this
strain during this period of budding
WomanhOod. The school had a general
air of joyousness and easy freedom
which was surprising in a body of
1890 pupils. Much attention was given
to singing. One did not wonder that
the girls We're happy-hearted. DO you
wonder that there were surprisingly
few who wore glasses? Take a trip
to your town school and see the num-
Der of sallow-faced, stoop-shouldered,
anemic girls wearing glasses and hav-
ing general air Of strain. My friend,
would it not be wise fer us to make
this the first plank in our platform
for girls education, that they shall
go from school with stronger bodies?
Will you not advocate in your COM
munity that we must put physical cul-
ture into our Tennessee high schools?
A second ideal was, that the girls
must be prepared for Wifehood and !
Strong courses in cook
ing and sewing were given. We went
into one room fitted up like laundry
What would some people say to that?
Guess their textbooks in sewing? The
Delineator and Vogue. There is a !
store in the school where girls may
sell their embroidery to ladies who /,
wish to pay high prices for hand
work In that way the girls can add
to their pin-money. There were some
rooms in the school fitted up like a
model New York fiat, and each girl
had to take her turn in planning how
to furnish those rooms artistically
and economically. Guess what prob
ems their mathematics taught? Sup
pose your husband is making $1,000
1 year, show how much you can spend
'or food. rent, clothes, amusements,

TWO KINDS OF CHOLERA.

Here's a man who talks as if be
knew something
And in showing that he knows
something about it he hits right out
from the shoulder with the cold fig
ures
Hon. Noah W. Cooper. who is can
didate for Congress, began his speak
ing tour at st. Bethlehem Tuesday.
He spoke in part as follows:
Hog cholera is bad. but liquol
cholera is worse.
81 had rather all my hogs would
die of cholera than for my child to
take the liquor cholera. Liquor
among boys is worse than cholera
among hogs.
Last year hog cholera caused the
loss of 1905, 600 hogs, worth 1878, 600
900, an average loss of nearly $500
per family for all America. Last
year the liquor traffic, or the liquor
cholera consumed 81. $50, 600, 900, an
average waste of about 800, 90 per
family in America; besides breaking
many thousand heads and hearts and
homes, and polluting thousands of
boys and girls.
1.-The liquor traffic, or liquor chol-
era, did a million times more damage
to our nation last year than hog chol-
era.
81 am glad our national government
is trying to suppress hog cholera. 1t
is a national pest and deserves Lation-
al destruction.
.tOur boys and girls deserve intin'
itely more protection than our hogs
If it is right for our government to
try to destroy hog cholera to save our
hogs it is surely right for our nation
al government to try to destroy the
liquor cholera to save our children.
There you have it, 81 loss from
hog'cholera and 800 loss from liquor
cholera, to each family of this great
big country.
Sometimes it was the hogs, and
sometimes it was the liquor.
Both are big losses and worth pre-
vention.
Therefore
Make your hogs cholera immune
with representatives., and don't let your
kids get hold of the whiskey bottle.

YOUNG MAN GOES
OVER DAM IN BOAT

Whitwell, May 9.-Hubert Moore,
son of DR.. N. B. Moore, the we'll
known dentist, had narrow escape
from drowning this week. He and
another young man named Graham,
in attempting to rescue boat which
had got lodged at the dam at the
company mill near Whitwell, were
swept by the current over the dam.
The boat they we're in was broken in
two by the force of the fall, and both
boys nearly dlowned, young Moore
having a close call for his life. Ora
ham swan out first, but Moore was
drawn down in the eddy and eye wit
nesses declare that it was fully four
before he came to the surface
and struck out for shore.

RATE DISCUSSION.

I We thank the Pikeville Bledsonian
for it's criticism of last week, directed
in so personal a way. In our mention
of the poor business methods of coun-
try newspaper men, we took care to
avoid mention of names, but the Pike
vile editor seems to have been hit by
the brick. We are glad that he has
refreshed our memory regarding GER
tain firm now using our columns, as
we have served notice on them on two
occasions that we wanted their rate
advanced to the same mark as the 9TH
ers, and are pleased to note that he
says he refused the advertisement at
the price offered. We will take this
matter up with the firm, and make
them pay price or quit using our col
umns. This contract was entered into
years ago when rates we're very low,
and the Bledsonian was not even a
Pigment of its EDITORS brain.
We have conclusive proof the Bled-
sonian will never get any money for
UD6 s6NSu ADVERTISEMENTS, Utbbtl Uudu
two columns space, that it is Running
for the Dayton firm. 1t boasts that it
is charging 95c an inch for them. 1t
might as well charge $25 an inch or
$4,000, for that is all it would be-just
charge. The advertisements had all
the earmarks of mo pay" and right
here we want to say to youthful edi
tors that when firm orders insertion
of advertisement "send BILL" you
may confidently expect no pay. Better
let that type remain in the case, and
go out and plant garden truck, or
clean up the street.
Regarding any advertisement in
these columns that the young editor
of the Bledsonian chooses to criticise
as to rate, let him speak up. 1t is
important education. For too long a
time country editors have been taking
just any old thing that came along.
1t would be better to give the space to
a local merchant, for then someone in
the home town would be benefited.
Let's have some more criticism,
son.

Mr.. Rankin ReOiss to Mr.. White

Editor News:
Mr.. Bill White denies being a ira
ior to the union and wants TO know
who my informant was. The agent
for the company at that time, told me
out of his own mouth that he met
him on Poker Hill ana told him every
thing that went on in the nall, and a
man that was guarding. the company
property told me that he went across
the hill one evening and that be and
this agent were up there talking and
it was reported TO me that his nephew
said that he left notes there at mis-
mothers house for that agent Now,
| don't think it would be fair to these
men to publish their names. but if Mr..
White will come to me when l am
in Whitwell, l will tell him their
names and go with him to them.
Mr.. White opened this controversy
by jumping on the Socialist party, as
though the Constitution of the Uni
ted States didn't give. us as much
right as it does the republican and
Democratic parties, 1t seems to me
that he and Jim Morrison think that
they can run this county with their
democratic committee that Is supern-
tendent of 7. C. leo. which discharge
men if they don't believe as they do
and then Mr.. White gets up and
boasts that this is the freest country
in the world. We are not fighting
any individual or party. We are only
fighting the way things are run under
the old party rules, We are fighting
all graft or dishonesty. We are work
ing people and we are fighting for bet
ter conditions for the workers. Now,
Mr.. White is chairman of the Repub-
lican party. If he wants to do the
right thing, why don't he see that the
working men at Etna and other places
get pay for holding the republican
primary Some of the candidates had
to borrow the $1,000 to go their part
on paying these working men for los
ing time and holding their primary
and then not get anything for their
time when this money was paid in
for them. Now, this is the kind of
stuff we are fighting, where the work
ers are beat out of what belongs to
them.
Mr.. White refers to me not being a
republican. / was born while nv
father was sheriff on the republican
ticket, and | never knew anything ex-
cept the republican party until got
to studying the question and l saw
that politics were skin game where
the working people were getting skin
ned, and the capitalists are getting
richer and right then l quit both par
ties, am after something that will
give justice to everybody.
Referring to what was said about
Mr. Hill letting Mr.. White write his
side of question and charging other
people for writing in defence, | think
Mr.. Hill is too much of a gentleman
to think of doing any such a thing.
will close, hoping the working
people will get more justice in the
future than they have in the past.

WHY MEXICANS DON'T LIKE US

While in chihuahua visited the
smelter of the American Smelling &
Refining Company, on the outskirts of
the city. Scores of poems are employ
eud here, and high salaried white
emplOye of the company told me that
their average wage was peso and a
quarter day about so cents gold in
normal times and from 10 to 30 cents
gold of present, as the Villa money
fluctuatrs This man said that the
company dreaded the successful ter
mination of the revolution, as it would
mean the formation of labor unions
and the consequent rise of wages.
Several American wholesale EMPLOYERS
of peon labor in Mexico frankly admit
that they prefer ten years of anarchy
followed by "the good old days of
peon labor" to intervention of any
kind which would mean the restora-
tion of peace and higher wage scale.
1t is such men who Frequently pay as
low wages as IS cents MEX" per
diem, and it was they who fiimfam-
med their employees with all sorts of
"hospital taxes and other devices
for reducing actual net wages until
the revolution frightened most of them
from the country. 1t is they and their
ilk, too, who have justified good
deal of the universal hatred for Amer
leans in Mexico
This hatred, always smoldering,
glowed red hot when the news of the
conflict between the United States and
Huerta filtered into northern Mexico.
At first it was confined to dark glances
aud muttered curses when an Ameri-
can passed on the street; then, in
chihuahua, the resentment became
more open aud signs reading "Mueran
los gringos Death to gringos -
were posted in the street. Outlook.
The above is reprinted from the
Chattanooga News, and expresses a
truth that there are number of Am
elican employers who are willing to
fiimflam labor in their own country OF
out of it, This is the reason why |
there is constant turmoil in labor cir
cles in all PARTS of the country. Think
of those M8ixcans attempting to live |
on IS cents per day in country where
owing to standard of monetization,
prices are very high and it takes
bushel of money to make any kind of
a purchase.
We don't wonder that the Mexicans
hate us, and if this statement be
true, if we had any decency about
US we would withdraw our army and
apologize for ever having gone on
Mexican soil.

insurance and savings for old age q"
You should have seen how happily
those girls were sharpening their pen
ellis and plotting against that lover
who was 10 come some day Do you
believe in this practical training? Our
progressive state superintendent be-
lieves in such education and. under the
law, can give money to aid county
high schools which give such training
Our normals and the state university
at Knoxville are training teachers TO
give vocational work for girls and
,boys-for girls, in cooking and sew
ihg and sanitation; for boys, in agri-
culture and manual training.
A third ideal was, that every girl
must be taught some trade-millinery
bookbinding, typesetting, library train
ing, laundry, merchandising, bookkeep-
ing, stenography, etc. They reasoned
this way; This girl may marry
good husband, but suppose she be Left
a widow with children to support?
Then she should be taught how to
support herself"
The equipmenhof this school was I'M
usually modern. 1t contained a the
alter, seating 1900 people; a seven
room furnished apartment for home
economics classes, a model banking
institution for business students, a
garment factory of many sewing rooms
furnished with power machinery, a
bookbinding plant, a miniature zoo for
the study of animal life, an imitation
department store for girls learning
business methods, and a roof garden
filled with growing plants
for the botanical classes. There
were basketball courts, gymnasiums,
and lunch rooms.
When we came out of that building,
bewildered by all that wonderful
equipment, l looked up at that beau
tiful nine-story schoolhouse and
thought of the millions New York
spends on its education. Then |
thought of those backward counties in
Tennessee, thirty odd still left out of
the ninety-six, thirty which do not
have county high schools yet, and |
how long it would be before
those thirty can be convinced how
they are handicapping their children,
