SUPPLEMENTAL ANNOUNCEME
AS TO STATE EXAMINATION

Since sending out my first an
nouncement / have carefully ex.
amined the law relative to the
certifcation of teachers. AS the
result of this examination / am
of the. opinion that no holder OF
state certificate now in force
can be compelled to take an
examination in the Reading Cir
Gle course. According to the law
none need take this course ex-
cept those who wish to change
their five year certificates into
1 ornament certificates as pre-
scrlbed on page 103 Public
School Laws.
This ruling applies also to
graduates of Normal Schools who
hold four-year professional GER
tifcates.
Let me call your attention to the
fact that a temporary certificate
ficate can be given only to those
who have stood an examination
and failed, and no such certifi-
is valid longer than the time for
the next examination. If your
certificate be marked tempo
rary," it will expire May 81,
1916. (See page 1O2 Public
School Laws.)
Let it be remembered that no
teacher can receive pay out of
the public school funds who
does not hold a State certificate,
Any officer paving money to any
such teacher is subject to a fine
of not less than five $500 dol
lars nor more than fifty 5000
dollars.
Institute attendance will be
required as prescribed by law.
On May 14th, the General AS
sembiy passed a bill repeating
the fee charging applicants for
examination. It also passed a
bill making any. certificate issued
by the State Board a license to.
teach in any county of the State
regardless of where the exami-
nation be held.
Very truly yours,
Samuel w. Sheriff..
State Superintendent.

FIELD MEETINGS HELD
FOR THE, FARMERS

On last Friday. the Farmers
Cooperative Demonstrations
Work held its first field meetings
of the year on the farms of ED.
Harper and J. G. Gold at Cor
louisville and T. K. Ford at
Elmwood. The narrowing Of
young corn was demonstrated by
the Government men who took
charge and did the work. Mr..
H. D. Tate. of Knoxville. the
State Agent, and Mr.. j. M.
Dean, of Columbia, the District
Agent, were present to assist the
County Agent. Although only a
few attended the meeting at
Gordonsville, much interest was
shown by those who were pres
ent. Cross-harrowing with the
section harrow was shown first
on Mr.. Harper's farm and then
on Mr.. Colds farm. Although
there was a poor stard of corn
at both places due to cut worms,
good work was done.
In the afternoon, with Mr..
Ford, at Elmwood, a good meet
ing was held, a very good crowd
of farmers being present. The
soil and the corn were both in
good condition and cross harrow
ing brought excellent results, and
seemed to make a good impress
sion with the farmers no were
present.
At both places, after the, work
was finished, Mr.. Tate and Mr..
Dean made short talks regard
ing the work and more especially
the cultivation on corn.
It is to be hoped that more
farmers will attend these meet
ings in the future. From time
to time they will be held in each
community. ia order to actually
demonstrate IN h e field
the methods which the Depart
ment of Agriculture is urging
every farmer to use.

CARTHAGE TO HAVE GREAT
REVIVAL IN NEAR FUTURE

Rev. A. P. Moore, pastor of
the Baptist church of this city,
announces that he is now busy
arranging for the great revival
meeting which is to be held in
the near future. The meeting
which will begin on Wednesday
night after the first Sunday in
June, will be in charge of DIR.
Luther Little, pastor of the First
Baptist church in Jackson, Tenn.
Rev. Little is one of the ablest
ministersin the Southern Bap-
fist ministery and has been hav-
ing marvellous success in revival
meetings. He recently closed a
meeting in one of the churches
in Nashville and as a reward for
hisA efforts in the capitol city
many souls were converted to
the right way of living and many
additions were received into the
church in which he was preach
ing. Rev. Little held a revival
in his own church in Jackson
last fall at which time large num-
bers were converted and more
than a hundred added to the
church.
While the meeting here is
planned by the people of the
Baptist church, it is the desire of
those who have the meeting in
charge to make it a meeting in
which all Christian people in
Carthage and surrounding COM
munity may unite in an effort for
the moral and spiritual better
ment of the town and vicinity.
It is confidently expected that
the meeting will assume interest
ing proportions from the begin
ming and prove to be one of the
greatest revivals in the history
of this section.
