Wasted Pity.

We sigh for the man who might
have been great,
If he only had tried in a sensible
way;
We witness his fall and pity his
fate;
And blame the foul chances that
sent him astray.
We think of the wonders he new
er has done,
We dismally speak of the talent
he had,
And previously, solemnly think
ing him one.
Whom fortune has cheated, we
murmur "Too bad"
But we never waste signs on the
poor little man
Who strives without talent, OBJ
scure and unschooled,
Who daily is doing the best that
he can.
BY worthiness urged and by de-
cency ruled.
We never have pity for him as
we pass
Where, lacking fair gifts, he is
trying to rise;
His case never moves US to MUIR
muir "Alasl"
Mo matter how we'll and bravely
he tries.
Oh, well, perhaps in heaven, if
heaven is gained,
Will furnish the gifts that un-
noticed ones lack,
And there the ambitious who
have not complained
May win all their hopes and their
eagerness back.
But never in heaven, if heaven
is fair,
May the talented ones who have
fallen in shame
Partake of the glory the worthy
may share,
Or find any part of the pity they
claim.

The south is great cotton pro-
ducing section, and a large per
cent of the population Of many
southern states depends almost
entirely upon this product for a
livelihood. The cotton is raised
here, baled and shipped to Europe
where it is manufactured into
every immaginable cotton fabric
and reshipped to this country and
sold to the very people who hoed
the cotton while in its embryonic
state. Just why mills and fact
cries have not been built here in
the south to utilize the cotton of
this country is mystery that
has haunted the southern planter
for generation. As a result of
the cotton markets of Europe be-
ing closed during this war and
not being able to manufacture
our cotton home, the south
is going through a financial de.
preston that is being felt far be-
yond the pail of the cotton pro-
ducing sections.

Two years ago DR.. B. w. Hoop
er began to realize that Tennessee
was a very sick state, politically,
although he had prescribed for
her for two whole years, he had
furnished every nurse and had
the drugs compounded in his lab
ratory, yet Tennessee's condition
grew worse. When the legisla-
ture of 1918 convened she was
heaying like that whale that
swallowed Jonah and ready to
vomit, had very little pulse and
an inward nausea that puzzles the
Doctor. In order to try to get
relief, DIR. Hooper summoned DR..

Shook School.

count of the raising the flag on
the school campus, but feel like
adding a few words. The Junior
Order of United American Me-
chanics is certainly engaged in a
noble work when giving q bible
and flag to each school when they
have a lodge. The shield, with
Its square" and compass and
"arm and hammer, ''and the pole
rising 60 feet above it, is a
"Thing of Beauty" and therefore
a Joy forever. We accept it as
sacred trust and will display that
splendid symbol of American
Liberty on all proper occasion,
and shall teach all our pupils pa
triotic love of our home and
church and school, which this
Order delights to honor and serve
in every way possible.
The report for last week shows
the per cent. of attendance
each to be as follows: billions
100 per cent; Blair's SO per cent;
Miss Lelia's 95.6 per cent; Miss
Allies 93.1 per cent; Miss Nina's
91.9 per cent; Mrs. Shocks OIL
per cent; Miss Franklin's 89.5
per cent; Miss Irene's So per
cent: for wole school 1876 per
cent.
The report for the month end
ing Sept. % is as rollows: Enroll
ment, boys 224, girls 245, total
469; average daily attendance
bows 200 girls 256, total 426.
This makes the per cent of atten-
dance: boys 81 per cent; girls 81
per cent; total 94.2 per cent;
hardness boys 16, girls 6, total
80. This makes a per cent of
hardness of eight hundreth of
one per cent.
The first grade is SO full that it
is unhealthy to have SO many in
one room. With 70 or 80 pupils
there at one time the primary
teacher cannot give individual
attention to SO many to any ad-
vantage. Hence We have divided
the first grade SO that 40 or 40
will be in school 2 hours and 40
minutee in the forenoon, and
about the same number will
come 2 hours and 40 minutes in
the afternoon. This will enable
Miss Franklin to do so much
more for each child. know
| some parents object because they
do not fully understand how they
can learn so much in half a day
as in all day. Parents, assure
you it is my interest in the chill
dren that causes this change.
Let us give this plan fair trial
anyhow. | feel absolutely aure
that each child will learn more
each day uuder this plan than
under the old plan. | appeal to
each parent to give this plan a
chance without criticism. | will
be delighted to explain fully to
any parents, who will come to see
me, how this is best for the pupil.
Parents, 'let us reason together"
Be assured that the Board and
the Faculty are doing what they
sincerely believe to be for the
best interests of the children.
Two hours and forty minutes in
one day is enough to confine in
one place a child 6 years old. If
we should find by experience,
that the child does not learn as
well or better, than under the
old plan, we certainly would not
continue it. This does not make
less work for Miss Franklin, but
really requires her to stay there
two whole periods longer than
under the old plan. This plan
works like a charm in a great
many towns and cities, then why
not in Tracy City.

A Modern Mint.

Tangoing at the rate OF $4,000
week is considered record for mod
ern dancing. When Mr.. and Mrs. Yer
non Castle closed their four weeks
dancing carnival in Madison Square
Garden a week or so ago. they are re-
ported to have added just $4,000 to
their fortune. making the one biggest
haul of the trip in Boston, which is
said to have been $500 for two per-
formances in a single day. Coming
in on the crest of the newest dance
wave. the Castles have been enriched
thousands Of dollars, have been lion
lied by society, have endorsed
everything from pair Of shoes to a
family cook stove, for which they have
been beautifully remunerated, have
promoted Castle House, a highly eX'
elusive and equally expensive restau'
rant and ball room, and Interested
themselves in hundreds OF other
pastimes that made them money
faster than the Philadelphia mint
turns It out. Yet pessimists say that
dancing in its present form is simply
a fad and will hang ITSELF and die
within another year!
