Thirty-Six Get
City Certificates
Most Successful Year in
History of Public
Schools
President Gilbreath De
livers Very Inspiring
Address

The closing exercises of the
Maryville public schools were
held in the First Baptist church
Thursday evening evening, May
20.
The beautiful auditorium of the
large church was entirely filled
by the pupils and friends of the
schools.
The class completing the work
of the grammar department was
represented by three pupils, who
deserve much praise for the
splendid manner in which they
rendered their part of the pro-
gram. The music was also furn-
ished by pupils of the schools.
The ad dress of the evening was
delivered by President Sydney G.
Gllbreath, of the East Tennessee
state normal. His subject was
Is 1t Worth While?" He COM
pared the cost of giving the boys
and girls proper educational ad-
vantages with the results which
follow such advantages, and
handled his subject in such a
clear and forceful manner that
none could help seeing the value
of adequate educational advant-
ages,
President Gilbreath's address
was greatly appreciated by the
people of Maryville and his
splendid appeal for better schools
will not soon be forgotten.
Following the address, certif-
Gates were presented by Supt.
Curtis to the thirty-six pupils
completing the work of the gram
mar department. Pupils who re-
ceived certificates are:
Mabel Williams Lucy LequireE
Georgia Harrison King Feezell
Howard Sullinger Geneva Rule

Prof. Harry Clark
Tells Polytechnic Class
Leaders Come From
Ordinary Folks"
Prof. Henry Says School
Continues as Long as
sIt is Needed

. In the presence of a capacity
audience at the Baptist church
last Friday night, certificates of
graduation from the Polytechnic
School were awarded to a large
class of girls and boys by Prof.
Chas. W. Henry, principal. The
address to the graduating class
was delivered by Prof. Harry
Clark, of the University of Ten
nessee. In his inimitable way,
he spoke on the "The Man With
out a Chance, /" though he did
not know until he entered the
auditorium what his theme was.
He had prepared an address on a
different subject, but he spoke to
the theme assigned by Prof. Hem
ry. If any entered the exercises
believing that the man without
a chance" could make no
chances, they were disillusioned
of such beliefs by Prof. Clark's
eloquent address, in which he
talked of common folks who have
made good.
Prof. Henry announced that
the Polytechnic School will be
continued as long as there is any
demand for such an institution
in Maryville and Blount county.
He stated that be is ready and
willing any time to cooperate
with the town or county in es-
tablishing a public High school,
though he has nothing to unload
on the people. He said the past
year had been the most success
full in every way that the insti-
tuition has experienced. The an
nouncement as to the schools
continuance was made anent in
quiries received by Prof. Henry.
The exercises were featured by
musical numbers. They were
attended by several srom out of
town.

characterized the activities of the Inn 3
periaI German navy within the so
called war-zone in substantial accord
with the accepted practices Of regu-
lated warfare. The whole world has
looked with interest and increasing
satisfaction at the demonstration OF
that possibility by German naval
commanders. It is manifestly pos
sible. therefore, to lift the whole
practice of submarine attack above
the criticism which it has aroused
and remove the chief cause Of Of

I'm view of the admission Of IL
legality made by the imperial gov
eminent when it pleaded the right OF
retaliation in defense Of its acts, and
I'm view of the manifest possibility OF
conforming to the rules Of estab-
lished naval warfare, the govern
ment of the United States cannot be-
lieye that the imperial government
will longer refrain from disaYoW1ng

great object, having long stood to-
gether in urging the very principles
UDon which the government Of the
United States now so sOlemnly in"
sists. They are both contending for
the freedom of the seas.
Friendship itself prompts the,
United States to say to the imperial

U. s. NOTE SHARP AND TO The
POINT-DELIVERED TO-DAY
Washington, July 24,-President
Wilson'S note to Germany, made
public last night, is intended as
final warning from the-United States
that no further attacks must be maze
ON American merchant ships by Ger
man submarines and carries a yelled
threat of stern action in the event
that the warning is not needed and
there is a repetition in cOntraVention
of neutral rights.
"Tbe government of the United
States will continue to contend Tor
the freedom of the seas, from what
ever quarter violated, without COM
promise and at any cOst," the note
declares.
Repetition by the commanders OF
German naval vessels of acts in con-
travention of neutral rights must be
regarded by the government Of the
limited States, when they affect
American citizens, as deliberately I'M
friendly.
''The government OF the united
States is not unmindful Of the extra
ordinary conditions created by this
war or of the radical alterations OF
circumstances and method Of attack
produced by the use Of instrumental
ties of naval warfare which the ma
tons of the world cannot have had in
view when the existing rules of inter
national law were formulated, and it
is ready to make every reasonable al
Iowance for these novel and uneX-
pected aspects of war at sea, but it
cannot consent to abate any essential
or fundamental right of its people be-
cause of a mere alteration Of circum-
stance.
THE rights Of neutrals IN time OF
war are based upon principle, not
upon expediency, and principles are
inmutable. It is the duty and obHga-

SPIRITUAL NEEDS AND THE
 CHURCHES

There is chronic complaint concern ing the chronic emptiness of the pews in the American churches. What IS the matter with our churches?' is the theme of never ending controversy. Elf ficiency experts have edvised scores Of remedies from consolidation to adver- tising, yet the number of vacant seats does not grow less.
 It is true, then, that mans spiritual nature is being smothered under the increasing size and pressure of his physical needs?
 Late in April, J. F. Rutherford, New York attorney, and the Rev. J. H. Troy, a Baptist minister, debated for three evenings in one of the largest Of the Los Angeles auditoriums, the sub ject of the debate being the state Of the dead according to the teachings of the Scripture The attorney denied the existence of a state of everlasting tor ment; the Baptist interpreted the Bible to prove that the wicked and unbe- lieverS would find eternal punishment in hell.

He has for the last few months shincd shoes at the Rowand Bros shop and he will return to that iob today, happy and cOntended at his lot even though it may not be what the average man would wish for.

TEMPE NEWS NOTES
3O YEARS IN A DAY
 FOR ALUMNI OF T.NS
Annual Reunion of Normal Alumni Was as Ever the One Occasion
 of the Year

One hundred and fifty people repre- senting twelve of the fifteen classes that have left the Tempe Normal since the year 1900. were present Thursday evening to renew acquaintances, to par take of the supmtuous banquet and to enjoy generally the pleasing 1estVltes at the reunion of the Alumni assocla- tion. The gathering was quite unlque for it brought together people who nave spent and years in the states sec ond largest school at different times and who possibly for the first time met on this occasion. From as far back as 1890 the classes were repre- sented and after the 1900 year was struck in the roll call representation was quite regular. some few classes having as many as eight or ten mem bers present.
 The first hour of the reception was spent in conversation on the presi- dents lawn and it was there that many interesting stories of old normal days were told listened to and told again. The non-acquaintancship and the diff ferences of age in the gathering soon became lost in the trend of conversa- ton that only too abruptly came to close with the announcement that ad journment to tine banquet hall was in order.
 The program of toasts that followed the banquet. was pleasing and was list ened to by the gathering of alumni and friends with untold interest. The pres ident of the association. Mrs Vim. Goodwin presided as toastmaster and called upon these people who responded on their own chosen topic: Albert R. Spikes. Aaron McCreary. A. J. Mat thews. J. l.. F'elton. J. R. MurdOck, and Judge R. C. Stanford.
 With the addition of the seventy seven who graduated from the normal last evening, the alumni association has new and enthusiastic set of young people to add to it's roster that will within another year or two num- her two thousand. All have pledged themselves to the support of an even gre2ter reunion next year and as time rolls on during the course of the new year, the alumnUs of the valley and of the state will watch with keen expect ancy the 1916 commencement week and alumni banquet and reception.

torium was crowded to the doors. There was no music, motion pictures were not shown; no white-robed choir lifted it's voice. The program consisted mere ly of an interchange of opinions con- corning the proper interpretation of the Bible. No one appealed to the emo tions; no magnetic, well advertised ev- angelists painted lurid word pictures Yet the auditorium was crowded to ca pacity.

She was unable to make her way into the house and was required to await the arrival of help. She was rushed to the south side hospital. where Dr. Palmer and Dr. Greer took charge of the case The fact that Mrs. Wilbur is now nearly the seventies makes the injury doubly hard to bear and the doctors fear that it will be some time before she is entirely recovered
