pioneers settled along the northern
Atlantic coast and before the eyes

and Spaniard. by viceroy, by repub-
aican, by revolutionist. and by north

of the greatest antiquity. Many Of its
traditions are so old that no man
knows whether they originated in the
days of the Montezumas or of the Con-
Quistadores.
AS is inevitable, the City of Mexico
has its own peculiar folklore, it's
mysterious legends. There are old

The Mailing Woman.
A relic of Aztec folk lore is the tale
of the Wailing Woman. Once, long

very bad woman in the City of Mex

HIGH SCHOOLS IN TENNESSEE
SHOW WONDERFUL PROGRESS
Made Late Start In High Schools Compared With Other
Sections But Now Coming to the Front Much
Faster Than Any Other State


what about your boys and girls who
can not afford to go away to school?
They need this higher school added
to your countM system, so as to give
them a chance for a free education.
How High School Helps the Country
Schools.
Every county which has created
high schools testifies that they have
improved the rural schools for two
reasons. First, they train better coun.
try school teachers. The fault with
our country school teachers is that
very few of them have an opportunity
for a good education such as a high
school gives. Where the high schools
are started, the country teachers at.
tend them in large numbers and be.
come much better trained for their
work. A stream can not rise above its
source, and a school can not rise
above its teacher. Therefore, let us
train that teacher. Our state normals
can not possibly do 1t all because we
must have 1920 new teachers in Ten.
nessee every year, and the limit for
the three normals Is about 100 gradu-
ates apiece. In addition the state uni
versity can furnish about 100 new
teachers annually. So that leaves ua
1900 new teachers to be trained some.
where. Therefore, we must create
high schools in every county.
Secondly, the high schools help the
rural schools, because every time a
high school is put into a county, at
tendance and interest in the lower
schools increase. When secondary
schools were first created in 1891,
many people claimed these would hurt
the primary schools. Instead the at
tendance in the lower grades increas.
ed, because more pupils stayed in the
primary schools until they finished,
for they wanted to go on into the Sec
ondary school. The same is true when
high schools are created If a pupil
sees only eight grades for him to take
and he is in the seventh grade, he Oft
en- will drop out because he feels that
he is nearly educated. However, IL he
sees a high school of four more grades
on top of his elementary school OF
eight grades, he will usually stay to
finish the eighth grade whether he
takes the high school course or not.
