TOMBSTONE OlD 79-ERS
 HAVE WEEK 0F REUNION

Tombstone. the city whose very name emauates an aura of all that IS won drous and romantic of 1he mystic south west. was reincarnated yesterday when more than a half-hundred of the Splen- did old mining camps pioneers assem- bled before the historic old Prospector and Epi,aph building and were photo grap whiih tho old stage "Modoc"
 Although d Jew Df the argonautS Of the one-time metropolis of ths South wesl were absent the fact that so many assembled during cold dTizzle and waited cheerfully until two exposures were made shows the unqueuch4blr cheeEfuiness of the maa and women in whose blood flows the indnmitable tide of the Aryan conquirtadoTes, those and the children Of those who .brayed the terrors of Cape Horn or drove their ir- resistable way across the piains to the Golden Gate and later trekked south ward to build the magic ciJv of Tomb stone in the heart of the hostile red mans realm

 Those who foregathered yesterday on Fremont street were facing the City Hall on the right Of which occurred the savage gun fight between the Earp gang and the Clantons and Lowrys. a bat:le which might more properly be called an assassination

 down without warning. lay on th,

 worked his six-shooter from its holster

SANITARY BOARD MAY
 BE BRuUGHT ID CARPET

TURNER. Arizona. August '31
 The apparent careless disregard fo. ,h, hralth of Arizona cattle by tile de cisious of ire Arizona Live Stock Sanitary Board. in allowing rhe in.- portation of Texas fever tick infested Mexican cattle through rhe ports oj Nogales and Sasabe. will be the sub ject of investigation. and legislative action will be asked for. according t. Santa Cruz county cattlemsn.
 Charges. not to the credit of the II @ Sanitary Board, will be filed. it is rc- ported. in which the ports al Nogales and Saslbe were opened or clos d at the will of the board. one member. of which it is charged. was the owner and directly interested in the impor- tation of ,he said cattle.
 The ait,up cd removal of R"d Bassett as inspector at NogaIes and Porter McDonald at Tombstone. will also be subjects of investigate
 BasSeIts removal was so strongly protested by he San'a Cruz cattlem-n that the order was rescinded It i~ also stated that the BasSett successor. was to be the son of one oi rie mem bers of the Sanitary Board and .he principal importer of Mexican cattle through these ports
 The same IS true of the case of Porter Mcdonald Such a strong pro test was sent up from CochIse county that the board kept Porter on th, job, and split his district up in such a manner as to give the appo.ntee such shipping points as suited certain parties.
 AnolheE subject. 1t is said. that the board will be called on to explain, is the promiscous issuance of the permits for crossing cattle from Mexico. and why certain people can procure per mits and others denied
 A case was reported from Naco last week in which it is stated that 200 head of cattle belonging to a Mexican w re passed on a permit issucd to certain American. for which privilege the Mexican is said to have paid ST 50 per head.
 The removal of member Brady's son. as inspector al Sasabe will be asked for. and Q change m the persorel of the board in general IS one of the re- comm endation to be made. and the

state, but he is working out his
plans now.
However, the plans he has out
lined cannot be carried out unless
the teachers have the co-opera-
ton of patrons and pupils.
Maryville has two splendid
school buildings, adequate for
the present needs of the scholas-
tic population. But the course
is not what Prof Curtis and the
teachers think it should be and
what they hope to make it.
One of the things Prof. Curtis
hopes to do, is to arrange the
course of study to conform with
the suggestions and outline of
courses as recommended by DIR.
P. P. Claxton, U. S. Commission
er of Education. According, to
this plan the course shall be di-
vided into three parts, primary,
junior high and high school.
The first department will COM
prise the first six grades of the
public school curriculum. The
junior High school will comprise
the seventh, eighth and ninth
grades, and the High school will
include the tenth, eleventh and
twelfth grades. Just at present
the three higher grades are not
needed, but it is only a matter of
time until these grades will be
in demand. The superintendent
is of the opinion that the pupils
of the town and county should
complete the courses prescribed
for the schools of the town and
county before they go into the
colleges and universities to COM
plete their preparatory work.
Another feature which will be
added to the schools the coming
year will be a domestic science
department. The Improvement
league of the East Side school
and the w. C. T. u. have each
contributed to a fund to secure
an equipment for the teaching of
domestic science, This will cost
$3.50. With this help and help
from the school fund, a splendid
equipment including sewing ma
chimes, stoves, tables, ETC., will
The Maryville times. (Maryville, Tenn.) 1884-1944, 1915-04-22

be installed. A room in the base
rent of the East Side building
will be given over to this depart
ment.
There is sufficient room in this
building also for the establish
ment of a manual training de-
partment for boys. 1t is hoped
that this department will be in
stalled later.
School gardening is another
feature planned. This will soon
be introduced in the fourth grade
and later will be added in other
grades. Home gardening espec-
tally will be emphasized.
The school grounds in the city
are amply large for athletic pur-
poses and also for gardening.
The old idea that the school
should teach only the three RS,
has long since been relegated to
oblivion, and educators have come
to know that the efficient school
is the one which prepares the
child to do the thing for which
he is especially adapted and for
which he seems to have an in
clination from childhood.
To install departments of do
mestic science, manual training
and school gardening, the schools
must have money for it takes
money to make these features
what they should be. Maryville
is this year having her first eight
months school term and she is
doing it on a tax levy of ten
cents! Heretofore the boys and
girls have been given only five
months of school. They should
be given nine months of school
each year. The children of the
town are the towns greatest as
set.
Maryville should levy a school
tax of not less than 20 cents for
the coming year.

"THE HOODOO" is
TO BE REPEATED

On Friday evening, April 18th,
the Junior class presented a
play the ''Hoodoo" to a crowded
house. Nothing but praise for
the whole, as we'll as for each
character, was heard. On ac-
count Of the many requests COM
ing from the leading citizens of
the town to repeat the play, the
junior Class has decided to be at
home to its friends again this
coming Friday evening, April "a.
Beginning with this week and
continuing until the close of
school, there will be from one to
three lectures a week at the
chapel hour, given by the profess
sional men of the on subjects of
great Importance.
The enrolment this term has
been over 200. Only six students
out of the entire school have
stopped. However, FIVE have
completed the commercial course.
The students of the Normal
Training Department are now
practicing teaching with a class
of boys and girls who have never
in school.

lancer l.. Tweed, the senior
member of the law firm of Tweed
and Goddard, was elected execu-
tive secretary of the Maryville
Board of Trade at the first meet
ing of the new executive COM
mittee the latter part of last
week. Mr.. Tweed assumed his
duties at once, and hardly had he
eaten his breakfast the morning
after the election until he was
busy soliciting members for the
organization whose good work
shall be continued, and which
shall bring more industries to
Maryville.
The new president and direc-
tors have the same brand Of en-
thusiasm as has Mr.. Tweed, and
the coming year promises to be
one of the best--if not the best
in the history of the organiza-
ton.
Mr.. Tweed, the new secretary,
was born at Marshall, N. c., but
when he became old enough to
pick for himself a desirable place
in which to live and make his
home he came to Maryville, and
Blount county, and entered Mary
vile college as a candidate for a
degree from that institution. He
received his degree in the class
of 1912, and thereupon he decid-
ed to become a follower of Black
stone, and entered the law de-
partment of Cumberland univer-
sity at Lebanon. He was gradu-
ated from this institution in 1914,
at the head of his class, and was
admitted to the bar of the state.
He returned to Maryville and
formed a law partnership with
Homer A. Goddard, a former
college friend, and one of Mary
ville's brightest young men.
This firm was organized in Janu-
ary, and has been literally pat
ronized.
Mr.. Tweed will devote much
time to the interests of the Board
of Trade, though this willnot in
terfere with his law business, as
he says every day he has yet liv-
ed had twenty-four hours, and
as eight hours are generally con-
sidered to comprise a days work,
he can put in two days work in
one and, then have one-third of
the day to rest and sleep.
Mr.. Tweed's friends congrat-
ulate him upon his election to the
secretaryship of the Board of
Trade SO soon after having iden-
titled himself with the business
and professional life of the city,
and predict for him a most sue
cessful career, both as secretary
Of the com mercial organization,
and also as a lawyer.
He, in company with Sam john
son, another leading lawyer of
Maryville, made several addresses
throughout the county in the in
terest of the pike road bond is
sue which was carried by such a
large majority in March.
