classes are doing review work and of
fer an opportunity to the teachers Of
the county hettor to prepare them
selves for their work. These classes
are we'll filled with teachers I'D pros
pective teachers. The High School
has been worth while, if for no other
reason than the training given the
teachers of the rural schools. The
standard Of the rural teacher needs
raising. This no one will dispute
What better means have we to dc
this than the County High School?
The town of Selmer has supported
the Central High School in every way
possible. The good people of Sellnel
have made the following improve.
ments They have fully equipped the
Domestic Science room, p ainted the
ceiling of the study 1hall. installed
electric lights, and most important of
all, complete system of water works.
The school is indeed proud of this
water system. Through the hearty
cooperation and civic pride Of the
merchants of Selmer we were enabled
to procure for the auditorium a first
class front curtain. This did not cost
the school anything as the advertis-
ing on the curtain paid for it. By
means of plays We have raised $4,000
,sOr library fund and we will in a
short time add many new volumes to
our library.
The school is indeed proud of its
debating society. This society is di-
vided into two divisions and thus in.
terest and zest is added to the de-
bates. The debate, however, is not
the only feature of the programs.
Music, readings and short plays make
them entertaining as we'll as instruc-
tive.
The future possibilities of the
County High Schools of McNairy is
indeed great. They have done good
work this year and can still do better
work another year. The county can
not afford to fail to give them its
financial aid. The most progressive
counties in Tennessee have cou nty
high schools and McNairy County is
now numbered in that list. 68 coun-
ties have high schools, and think
McNairy County wants to contin, ne
McNairy County independent. (Selmer, McNairy County, Tenn.) 1902-1969, 1915-03-26
to be in that number.


But why have County High Schools?
The County High School is the poor
mans college. The instruction now
given in first class high school is
equal, and in many cases better, than
that given in many of our SO called
colleges. The instruction is practical
and vocational and yet the cultural
| subjects are not neglected. The
County High School is free to every
one in the county and it thus puts a
good practical education in the reach
of all. The County High School is a
training school for the rural teacher.
A strong County High School always
means better prepared rural teachers.
1t means better farming methods for
the county. Under present laws no
aid can be had from the state and
federal government unless it come
through the county high school. The
agricultural instructor in the County
High School works under the direc-
tion of the state and federal govern
ments. He spends part Of his time
in the County High School and the
re emainder in doing extension work
over the county. One-half Of his
salary is paid by the state and federal
governments. Would such an instruc-
tor be worth anything to the farming
interests of McNairy County?
McNairy County is making an effort
to bring in outside capital. The best
advertisement she can have is a good
system of county high schools. The
County High School is supported by
state and county funds. The biggest
part of the fund is derived from the
/ railroads and corporations within the
county and the state aid to high
schools. The people of the county
pay small part of it.
Education means progress and de-
velopment. Ignorance is a bar to
advancement and development. May
the High Schools of McNairy County
continue to exist and to improve in
usefulness each year.

While it will not be the case,
Gov. Rye would do the farming
and stockgrowing interests of the
state a great good by re-appoint-
ing to the Office of Commissioners
of Agriculture, Hon. t. F. Peck,
who has held the same for four
years. Capt. Peck is the hardest
worker we ever knew. 1t is mar
velous the amount of work he
does. It is impossible to find,
considering his experience, any
man who will measure up to Capt.
Peck in giving the farmers ad-
wee on strictly practical lines.

Central High School Notes

The Central High School has now
been in session for six and one-half
,onths. During this time we have
lad an enrolment of more than 100
an the high school department. There
has been a total enrolment of 240 in
the whole school. Fifty students
have enrolled from other districts.
The High School is doing great
service to the county in the training
of the rural teachers. During the
six and one-half months taught there
have been twenty-five teachers en-
rolled in the High School. This num-
ber includes those who have had ex-
perience in teaching. There are
many others who are preparing to
teach. We have recently organized
cur teacher training classes. These
