Shook School.

! 1914, was q very successful year.
There was less friction in the
work of the school than usual.
There were no cases of extreme
discipline the entire term. There
was as large a percent as usual
of the pupils that passed on the
examination so as to take the
grade above next year.
As to the work of Shook School,
| know that our methods and
course of study are right up with
the times and are as good as the
best. OF course we ought to have
q four years High School instead
of two years, but we have not the
room or the means at present. |

School at Chattanooga, and | am

watch the methods of instruction
in all the grades to find out
whether our school is behind the
times in any way. | can truthful
ly say that we are thoroughly up.
to date as far as methods are
concerned.
No one could be in Chattanooga
during the recent extreme wealth
er, without longing for the cool,
refreshing night at Tracy City.
My feelings were very intense
along that line,
When | returned | made an in
spection of the Shook School

needed in the way Of repairs.
Last vacation the trustees re-
painted the interior of all the
halls and rooms of the building.

To have had over 500 pupils and
yet to find all the rooms perfect
lily fresh and free from deface-
ments of any kind, speaks vol
umes for the children of Tracy
City and for the management
and spirit of Shook School in
particular.
The good work done by the
School Improvement Association
is worthy Of all praise. They fin
ished paying for the piano and
and it's cover, improved and re-
newed all the scenery on the ros-
trum, sowed grass and oats on a
large part of the campus, paid
for the electric lights for last
year, paid o lumber bill to Mr..
Werner, and did many other
things too numerous to mention.
Long live the Association
Some of the pupils raised mo-
ney by play to make $40, and
the same amount was given by
the State, and eighty dollars
worth of books were added to the
library.
During the present summer va
cation, the Library will be open
ed every two weeks by Miss Allie
Henley on Wednesdays. at 10 a.
NJ, beginning with Wednesday,,
20 of July.
The report of attendance for
the year ending June 1-1914, was
as follows: Entire enrolment for
year, Boys 262-Girls 272-Total
534; average daily attendance,
Boys 1864 Girls ia Total 339; an
average daily attendance of 339
pupils for every 8 months Is very
good, considering the lack of
sidewalks in many places.

NEW YORK, Jan. 31.-The present

The legality of the old and new
forms of National League contracts

the new contract two years ago, and
Mr.. Bell expressed his opinion that
the clause by which a player is paid
rs per cent of his salary as an option
on his services the following year
would hold in any court.

of taking a pitched ball, especially

matter of fact. that odd little flip of
the mitt enables Gabby to absorb a.
fast one with no particular jar to his

crow-hop puts him in position to peg
as he takes the pitch
Gabby is a mighty stylish catcher,

In fact, we don't get H. Harry's

however, is entirely none of our biz.

pressing the wish that, II Chapman

Joe Tinker has ceased to smile;
that his face wears worried
