City School Notes


ed
The work of the city schools
thus far has been most crafty
ing. The enrolment to date
is 485. The enlargement of
the school plant, enlargement
of the teaching force and ad-
dition of the 8th grade seem to
have given life and impetus
to the entire student body.
During these busy days pre-
ceding field day the different
rooms are veritable hive Of
industry. Every department
is working at a high rate of
efficiency. Free hand drawing
has this year been made a part
of the regular course of study
Manual Training and Domes-
tic Art are gradually being
introduced. Progress is the
school slogan. We are un-
willing for any school in Up
per Cumberland to be our sup
erior. We prefer to set the
pace.
The heaviest expense OF the
city Of Cookeville Is that In
cident to her schools but her
hope OF greatest returns Is
indeed from them. We are
fast learning that money In
vested in education pays the
highest of all dividends. The
following figures are interest
ing and every parent and stu
dent should carefully study
them.
S1O Per Day to Attend school
Average salary OF an educated
man is $1,000. In 40 years ne
earns $4,000. Average salary
Of uneducated man is $3.50. In
40 years he earns $lS,ooo.
There is a difference of $4,000
in favor ofthe educated man.
# it takes IL years Of $50
school days to obtain an edu-
cation or 2160 days, we find py
dividing $4,000 by 2160 that q
boy actually earns $40 per day
for each day he attends schooi.
Too many of our boys are dis
continuing sdhool, can't we 40
something to remedy this
great error?
The first entertainment OF
year was given Friday evening
by the girls of the 9th and 7th
grades. taught by Mrs. 3. z.
Adcock. The entertainment
was Of q patriotic nature and
was given for the puprose OF
raising money for the purchase
OF a school flag.
Friday was Fire Prevention
day in the. schools Of Tennes-
see. Chapel exercises were
dispended with that morning
and the following program
was carried out:
Statistics in Regard to Fires,
M. T. Carlisle.
Causes of Fires and How to
Prevent Them. Mrs. B. G. Ad-
cock.
Story of Chicago Fire, Mrs.
Algood Carlen.
The recent act Of the legis-
lature establishing fire pre-
yention commission was a
splendid step in construction.
The full Importance of this act
is realized when we reflect
that the average yearly fire
loss in Tennessee is $5.18 for
each man woman and child
while it is only $3.50 per cap
ita in the nation and in Ger
many only 33 cents.
Plans have been arranged

The Weston Odd Fellows were taken
into camp by their Milton brethren
Monday In a ball game which Is said
TO have been odder than the three
lInkers themselves. The contest took
place at Milton. and provided amusing
comedy for a~large crowd of specta-
tors as well as for the players. Bar
thoiomew and Renick were in Mil
toms lineup. but Weston overcame
this handicap by insisting that every
player be allowed TO pitch one inning
and one only. Weston led by a wide
margin until Chief Wilson took the
mound and permitted seven or eight
runs to the opposition. Harry Beathe
asserts that the chief purposely threw
the game for the price OF his dinner,
but We never did think that he could
be bought so eheaply. Anyway. wes-
