The boys start track practice at
once, and Coach Hunt thinks that
there is good material for winning
track team in the school. The
school will also have a base ball
team, something which it has not
had for several years in the past.
The team and the school wish to
thank the people for their patronage
during the past season, and hope
that they might have it in the fu-
ture as in the past.

of the boys of the grades. In this
game the girls were victorious.

In the second game of the series
with Arvada, Monte Vista played
the hardest game of the series. The
Arvada boys were much fresher than
on the previous evening, and were
determined to win the two remain
ing and hold the championship. At
the start of the game it looked as
if they were going to take that one
at least, for they made six points
in the first two minutes of play.
After this, the Monte boys settled
down and by hard steady playing
Overcame the lead established by
the Arvada boys at the first of the
game. At the end of the first half
the home boys led by three points.
In the second half the game was
very rough, although no dirty play
ing was shown by either team Both
teams were determined to win and
both were playing the hardest game
they could in order that they might
win. The building was very hot,
ohu 'hio SauoCu thC pay Cl W De-
come very tired, and all the substi-
tutes were put into use. c. Baird
was substituted for r. Baird at
guard; Schall for Santiseven at for
ward; hewitt for Tyner at guard
AT the end of the game the score
was 40 to SO in Monte's favor. After
this the crowd was very enthusiastic
for this gave Monte the champion
ship.
AS a preliminary game two girls
which the reds were victorious over
the whites.
The third and last game of the
series ended in the utter defeat of
the Arvada team, which by this
time had given up all hope of WIN
ming. They were good sportsmen,
however, and made the game inter
esting to the end in putting forth
every effort to win the game. In
this game they were defeated by the
score of 35 to IA.
The lineup for the games were:
Arvada Monte Vista
Lercher (Cap) F .Santiseven (Cap)
Null .,...........-....F. Lindenmeyer,
Schall
Rhect .-.-.--.. ...-......C-.-.... Breckenridge,
Carr
Morrison, Null.-..G. r.. Baird, c. Baird
Secrest .--.--.--.--..G .Tyner, hewitt
In the preliminary game, which
was played between the Center first
team and the Monte Vista second
team the Monte second team was
victorious by the score of 30 to 81.
This was a very interesting game
and was much better than the aver
age preliminary game, which is gen
orally very slow. The Center boys
were much larger than the Monte
boys. The boys who started the
game for Monte were mostly the
third team, as the second team was
being saved for subs on the first
team. During the first part of the
game the Center team had the best
of our boys, but in the second half
hewitt was substituted for Sadler at
guard, and Carr wps put in in place
of Harris at forward.

Mrs. c. A. Bridges Dead

Mrs. c.. A. Bridges died at her
home in Brush Creek last Mon
day at noon after a short illness.
Mrs. Bridges was 20 years of age
and her untimely death has
caused a gloom of sadness to pass
over the entire community in
which she lived. She was the
wife of Claude Bridges, a pros
porous merchant of Brush Creek,
and the daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. w. P. Allen and is survived
by her husband and four small
children, the youngest of whom
is only three weeks old. She was
a devout member of the Baptist
church. Funeral services were
conducted at the church by Rev.
Davenport last Tuesday.

GOOD TOBACCO SALE AT
CARTHAGE WAREHOUSE TUESDAY

One of the best sales since the
opening of the Carthage Loose
Leaf Tobacco Warehouse was
held last Tuesday. Owing to the
extremely dry weather the
amount of tobacco for sale was
small. there being only about
10000 pounds offered, but the
prices paid were encouraging.
There were several buyers On
the floor and the bidding was
more spirited than has been at
any of the previous sales. $10.10
was the record price paid, crop
of good leaf belonging to a
Mason county farmer bringing
that figure. The prices for Jugs
were unusually strong, being
from $1.0O to $500 higher than
at other sales. 1t is predicted
that tobacco prices on the Car
thage market will continue to
advance since the dry weather is
killing the farmers plants which
is likely to cause a short crop
this year, and too, this late in
the season tobacco brings re-
dried price, which is always
several points higher.
The sale Tuesday cleaned up
the floor and it is not likely that
another sale can be held until
there is a season. Following are
the prices paid last Tuesday:
Lugs, $3.50 to $500; common
leaf. $500 to $500; medium leaf,
$500 to $500: good leaf, $8.O
to $10.1O. No select leaf was
offered.

FOUND JAR or MONEY;

Enoch, Tenn. April 26. Car
.thage Courier:-Arch Moss, liv-
ing on the old DR.. Mccall farm
on Round Lick Creek about two
miles above Rome in the 18th
district, was blowing a small
pot of land for a garden. His
pillow struck something which
proved, on examination, to be a
top to a stone jar. Mr.. Moss,
after cleaning the loose dirt
away, found a one-gallon stone
jar which contained a lot of paper
money, 80 cents in silver and two
pictures of children made on tin.
The bills, when exposed to the
air, crumbled to dust but the
silk threads running through the
bills could be plainly seen; the
pictures were we'll preserved and
are supposed to be Alexander

A threat is definite promise of

cannot fail to make the effect of
the punishment more lasting.
1.-THE Discipline of Silence"
Most teachers make the mistake
of talking too much. Step into
IA room where you hear the
teacher talking in a high-pitched
voice and you will find the chill
dren restless and noisy. Find a
Seeding teacher, and you will
find Idisorderly pupils. T h e
scoldi.ng is the cause of the dis
order and not the result. There
is no disease so contagious as
irritability. Any teacher will
find silence great aid in secur-
ing dicipline.
Few pupils, however, are dis
orderly from desire. Physically,
it is impossible for a boy or girl
TO sit quietly all day and work
like amachine and many of the
misdeeds are not Intentionally
such.
lie we discourage child at an
early age. we tend to drive him
out without an education and our
public school system is a failure.
AS / said before, however, the
teacher must study her pupils,
and if we remember the natures
of children. we will give them
frequent periods of rest.
A great deal has been written
about. Mr.. Taylor and his Science
of Management, and it would be
we'll to apply some of his princi-
pies to the school room. His
most quoted example is of the
man who could load twelve tons
of pig iron in a day working in
the usual manner, but when
watched and made to rest be-
tween each trip, as long as it
took to make the trip, he loaded
forty-seven tons.
/ leave that thought for the
teachers to ponder over.

TEACHERS ARE ADVISED
CONCERNING EXAMINATIONS


Prof. r. l.. Jones of Murfrees-
boro. former state superinten-
dent of public instructions but
now president of the Middle Ten
nessee State Normal, was in Car
thage last Saturday and address
ed the monthly meeting of the
Smith county teachers. In his
remarks Prof. Jones touched on
a number of vital points that are
calculated to make the public
school system in the state much
better. He did not fail to take
Smith county to task for escap-
ing the county unit law which
was passed a few years ago,
placing county schools under
county educational boards. Prof.
Jones said There should be no
district lines in Smith county to
come in conflict with the schools
of the county. He insisted that
the schools should be under
county unit system which would
require or assure every section
of the county an eight or nine
months school, and under this
system the schools would begin
and close on the same sdates,
making the work much more uni
form and profitable.
In regard to the teachers ex-
aminations for this year, Prof.
Jones made the following state
ments:
"All 1914-15 certificates, bear
ing grades, will be renewed by
holder taking the examination in
the two books of the reading cir
Gle course or by attending a sum-
mer term of one of the state nor
mails, Summer school of the
South, or Peabody College, and
doing satisfactory work in at
least 3 courses as shown by the
records of the institution. Three
courses cannot be satisfactorily
taken at Summer schools unless
students enter during first week
of the term.
Professional certificates that
are issued on the certificates or
diplomas of the state normal
schools and the state university
and other accredited institutions
may be renewed on the condi-
tons mentioned above.
An institution to be classed
as accredited must require at
least fourteen units for entrance
and do four full years of college
work based thereon for gradua-
ton. The holders of diplomas
from such institutions. and those
who have done six terms work
in psychology, history of educa-
ton, principles of teaching and
school management, not less than
two of which shall have special
reference to high school work,
shall be granted high school di-
plomas without examination. All
applicants for certificates from
accredited schools must furnish
transcript of their college work.
No applicant will be admitted to
the examination under eighteen
years of age, and no certificate
can be issued should he pass it.
No certificate heretofore issued
will be recognized by the boards
of education as valid for the COM
ing school year unless those con-
ditions are met.
No. county or state certificate
issued prior to 1914 that was re-
newed for attendance at a sum-
mer school last year will be re-
newed. The holders of all such
certificates will be required to
take the regular state examina-
ton. Certificates marked tenn
porary" or issued on experience
in lieu of examination" will not
be renewed, but the holder will
be required to take the regular
state examination.

SMITH COUNTY TEACHERS
HOLD INTERESTING MEETING

good attendance, there being Sc
or 20 of the teachers present.
r. L. Jones president of the
Middle Tennessee State Normal,
was present and addressed the
meeting.
Two very strong papers were
read, one being by Prof. L. B.
Petty and the other by Miss
Alma Ford. The former was on
the subject of School Gardens"
and Mr.. Petty showed that a lot
of good work was being done and
that a lot more can be accomp-
lished in this respect. The paper
by Miss Ford, Mistakes Made
in Discipline was well prepared
and appreciated by the meeting
to such an extent that a motion
was made by Prof. Hendrickson,
seconded by a number of other
teachers, to have the article
published in the Courier.
The date of the institute has
not yet been announced but
Superintendent Huffines states
that he hopes to be able to pub
lish the program and date of the
institute in next weeks issue of
this paper.
Following is the paper read by
Miss Ford:
Probably there is no greater
terror for the young teacher than
that awful word, Discipline. :"
She feels that she knows her
subjects, she is primed with all
the latest methods that normal
schools can give, and everything
would look rose-colored on that
first morning were it not for
that question that bobs up at
every step, shall | be able to
manage them. +"
Like every dark-corner buga-
boo, once we chase him into the
open, he is no longer formid-
able, and, as we see him daily,
his strength gets less and less
until we finally get hi m
under our thumb and make him
a willing servant.
Keeping order in the school
room is only one form of dici-
pline. for true dicipline works
from the studies outwardly. Disci-
pline just for order would be use
less; discipline that brings results
and is never in evidence builds
the character of the pupil.
The first point to which | call
attention is The Discipline of
Interest. !" True discipline comes
by awakening the interest of the
pupils. / might add to that
thought, though it is a part of it,
that discipline comes from keep
ing the pupils busy. When a
boy is really busy he has no time
for nonsense and the teacher
who puts him to work immedi-
ately gives him the impression
that she means business and he
goes cautiously for a few days
until he feels that he has found
a weak spot in the fort. Making
the work interesting is the real
problem of the teacher-the
measure of her power of disci-
pine.
Granted that the teacher keeps
her pupils busy and interested,
there will still be problems of
discipline.
There are two sides to every
story, and the chiId's side is
sometimes one with strong ar
guments in its favor.
The teacher must be human.
That sounds like a joke, but it is
not, for a great many teachers
are mere well-oiIed machines
that can only travel on rails laid
by themselves.
/ would urge all teachers
against hasty judgement and I
think that no punishment should
be given until the teacher has
tried to look at the offense from
the child's viewpoint.
Many teachers like to start out
with list of rules as long as
