probation of their hearty recep-
tion.
President Alfred H. Williams

Gov. Rye, who had been fur
nished the state by Paris. He

that had always exSted between
Nashville and Paris. He spoke
of the jobbing interests of Nash
vile and the support that had
been accorded them by the mer-
chants of Paris.

message. He.spoke for the state
fair that this year puts out a big
ger and better program than ev-

py talk. He told several antec-

GERMANY MAY NOT
REPLY FOR A WEEK
Two Important Factors May Delay
Imperial Governments
Conclusions.

Washington, May 18-Two i'm
portant factors, it became known,
tonight, are working to delay for
another week Germany's reply
to the American note of May 13,
sent as a consequence of the
Lusltania disaster.
The next few days are expect
ed to decide whether Germany
will be confronted with a new
military situation by the en-
trance of Italy into the war, cut
ting off all supplies through the
Mediterranean.
Interested diplomatists h ere
believe the interim of delay will
reveal whether the United States,
of it's own initiative, will send a
general protest to the allies with
respect to their alleged violations
of international law by interfer-
ing with the commerce between
American ports and neutral coun-
tries of Europe.
1t is known with some def
niteness that Germany will in
dicate her willingness to act to-
ward all merchantmen just as
destroyers or cruisers would,
giving ample time for passengers
and crew to leave provided mer-
chantmen are unarmed or if
passengers and contraband traf-
fic are separated.
That position is looked on with
some favor here. provided it IS.
suggested as temporary FAR
rangement, and does not involve
REIMBURSEMENT by the United
States of the rights of its citizens
to travel anywhere on the high
seas on enemy or belligerent un-
armed ships.
The United States will insist,
however, that the principles of
law and humanity expressed in
it's note must be recognized and
admitted by Germany, and that
any intention to destroy Ameri-
can lives as on the Lusitaia must
be disavoWed. That the United
States will stand firmly on the
principles set forth in its note,
has been conveyed indirectly
and informally to Germany.
Washington. May 10. Official
Washington this afternoon wait
ed momentarily for official news
that war had been declared be-
tween Italy and Austria. While
not commenting, officials based
their relief upon the formal Pc
tition received today from both
nations asking that American
diplomats care for the diplomatic
offairs of each nation in the event
of war, and a dispatch received
via Paris, from Basel, Switzerland
late today, which said that mo-
bilization of troops is being con-
tinued rapidly all along the Ital-
ian frontier. 1t is said that Italy
now has 1.7OO, 900 soldiers mobil-
lied and equipped.

GET DOWN AND PUSH

Every town has It's men OF
wealth its prominent citizens
people who are looked upon as
the community leaders.
AND AS THEY LEAD, SO
WILL THE COMMUNITY BE.
If YOU have accumulated a
competency and are enjoying
that life of ease to which you
are entitled, it is time for you to
think of your community of
your children of your neighbor's
little ones.
Your town needsIyour strength
and your assistance.
GET DOWN AND PUSH.
The generation that's passing
away started you on the road to
affiuence- pushed you along life's
pathway headed you for that
goal which you now enjoy.
THEY GAVE YOU A PUSH
and your energy, and persever-
ance, and determination did the
rest.
Now you are on top and a new
generation is springing up, and
they, have an ambition to achieve
But their goal is a long way
up, and the road is steep, and
there are many obstacles to be
overcome before your children
and your neighbor's children
may hope to reach the goal of
THEIR ambition.
The community standard in
vogue when you were a boy was
doubtless high for those times,
but the same standard is hope
less today-a relic of the past
an impossibility of the future.
To maintain its relative posi-
ton in the world your communi-
ty must prosper, and grow, and
And your children are con-
fronted with those changing con-
ditions.
To hold your town down to the
early standard is like cutting the
throat of your faithful dog, or
casting your bank book into the
flames.
Bot advancing it's material in
terests is like casting the loaves
and fishes to the hungry multi
tudes.
You are successful the past
has enriched you oft wealth
the future is one of peace, FOR
YOU.
But what of the children of
today what of those growing to
manhood and womanhood only
to be forced to meet the serious
problems of a few years hence?
What of the future of YOUR
OWN DEFENDANTS?
A retarded commercial spirit,
a throttled community growth,

Esq. w. T. Snow said the

sity in the years to come.
Other men of means and prom
inence will act, and OTHER
COMMUNITIES will forge to
the frcnt and prosper and if
YOUR community simply re-
mains stationary it will soon be
subsisting on the crumbs that
others cast aside.
What are YOU going to do
about it-you men of MEANS
and the ABILITY TO ACT?
Are you going to GET DOWN
AND PUSH?
Are you going to assist YOUR
children, as your FATHERS as
sisted YOU?
Are you going to give YOUR
town a SHOVE to the FRONT
a BOOST that will mean PROS
PERITY for the FUTURE?
A town that is worth LIVING
in is worth BOOSTING.
And all good citizens should be
boosters in fact, the really DE-
SIRABLE citizens ARE boosters.
This world is moving at rap
id pace, and America leads the
van.
Do you want to see your chill
dren marching well up to the
FRONT-in the position of HON
OR-or would you prefer to see
them ambling along In the dust
of more progressive people?
The great opportunity for COM
mercial and community advance
ment is here now is looking for
a word of encouragement from
YOU-is waiting for YOUR ac-
ton.
But by the time your sons
reach mans estate aPP0RTU-
NIFTY will have MARCHED ON
and into the waiting embrace
of OTHER COMMUNITIES.
That is, unless YOU act NOW,
and to SOLE PURPOSE.
One hand may not raise a.
stone, but many hands make
light work of the heaviest bur-
dens.
There are many hands in
YOUR community hands capa-
BILE of performing WONDERFUL
FEATS in community building.
Perhaps YOURS are two of
those hands.
But what are the many hands
DOING?
Are they PUSHING SHOW
ING = BOOSTING TO TIL E
FRONT?
Or are they pulling-dragging
-retarding the growth of YOUR
community, and YOUR peoples
What are YOUR hands doing,
brother?

tions will be held at the county
seats and certificates will be good
only in the county in which the
examination is taken.
Examinations will be held also
on the same dates in Memphis,
Paris, Savannah and Jackson,
supervised by representatives of
the State Board of Education,
and certificates granted at these
places will be valid in any county
in the state.

nations the schedule will include
spelling, arithmetic, grammar,
writing physiology and reading.
All the rest of the studies are
embraced in the second days
work.
Certificates shall be designated
and graded as elementary certi-
ficates of the first or second
grade or high school certificates
of the first or second grade. A
first grade certificate shall be

years from date of issue. A

cessful teaching beside meeting

Teachers can secure circulars
giving full and complete instruc-
tions by seeing or writing the
county superintendent.
Since the above was put in
type the following has been re-
ceived from Supt. Sheriff.:
"Since sending out my first
announcement | have carefully
examined the laH relative to the
certification of teachers. AS the
result of this examination | am
of the opinion that no holder of a
State certificate now in force can
b. compelled to take an examina-
ton in the Reading Circle course.
According to the law none need
take this course except those
who wish to change their five
year certificates into permanent
certificates as prescribed on page
103 Public School Laws.
This ruling applies also to
graduates Of Normal Schools
who hold four-year professional
certificates.
Let me call your attention to
the fact that temporary certifi-
cate can be given only to those
who have stood an examination
and failed, and no such certifi-
cate is valid longer than the time
for the next examination. If
your certificate be marked "tem-
porary," it will expire May 81,
1915. (See page 102 Public
School Law.)
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 paying money to any
such teacher is subject to a fine
of not less than five $500 dol
lars nor more than fifty ($50.00)
dollars.
i Institute attendance will be re-
quired as prescribed by law.
On May 14th, the General
Assembly passed a bill repeating
the fee charged applicants for
examination. 1t 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.
