THAT POLYTECHNIC SCHOOL.
It Is Being Generally Condemned by
Counties With High Schools.

By an act of the legislature of 1918
one-third of the gross revenues of the
state must be paid into the school fund
of the state. This year the amount
that will go to the school fund is about
$444, 1000. The act provides that eight
per cent of the gross amount going to
the educational fund shall be devoted
to high schools of the state.
The high school fund was the one
chosen on which to make raid for
that Cookeville school because the pro-
moters reasoned there would be less
opposition because not every county in
the state has high school, although
more than half of them have.
The act that created the Cookeville
polytechnic school provided that one
fourth of the amount set aside for high
schools should go to support the Cooke
vile school,. thus robbing the high
schools. That means that Cumberland
county will lose little over $500 as
would be one fourth of the 81, ,208. 80
that should come to us tor our high
school.
A resolution was passed by our
county court last week asking the leg
islature to modify the act creating the
Cookeville polytechnic school in some
way to avoid taking any part of the
high school fund. Several counties
over the state and numbers of county
superintendent are opposed to inter-
fereing with the high school fund. and
there promises to be very determined
fight against it when the legislature
convenes the first of the month. The
high school fund should not be reduced
under any pretext.

THEY WERE FEASTED.
Junior Reception to Stacd Seniors, Fri
day Night, Was Great Success.

The reception given Saturday night
at the dormItory by the Juniors in hon.
or of the graduating class of the year,
was delightfully."- planned in every de.
tail.
1t is to be hoped that this function
will be but the lnitiatory movement to-
ward forming an established custom in
the history of the institution. 1t will
prove mark of fraternal spirit as
we'll as encourage serious thought for
the future organization of other
classes.
Purple and gold, the colors of the
senior class, were very artistically
carried out in the decorations and the
menu. The menu consisted of: Wal
drof salad, creamed chicken in timbal
caess, pickles. olives, cheese and nut
sandwiches, plain sandwiches. gelatlne
with whipped cream and cake. The
favors were dainty purple and gold
baskets filled with candy.
F'rappe was dispensed in pleasing
manner by Misses Comstock and Hyder
throughout the evening.
A guessing contest was enjoyed, the
prize box of cancy. was awarded to
ter and Rose.
There Is a great deal of credit and
appreciation to be given Mrs. Barnes
for her efforts in assisting the hosts
and hostesses of the evening.
Those present were the members of
both classes and the faculty.
If you need a typewriter ribbon of
any make or color or two-color, send
rs cents to the Chronicle Office and it
will be sent you by mail. Be sure to
tell the kind OF machine and number
and the color of ribbon wanted.

bedding at the Jail and report at the
next term of court. Such information
as was presented by Sheriff Toney in
dicated that swinging cots are badly
needed and also bed clothing. He
recommended that no quilts be bought
in the future, but that blankets only
be used. as they are much easier kept
in a sanitary condition and he thought
less expensive in the end.
The clerk of the court was directed
to write the central hospital for insane
to see if Mrs. Nancy Norris, who is
now confined in Jail here for want OF
better place, cor Id be received.
Poor Commissioner H. r. Webb

poor commisslonerssto make an effort

house to accept as an inmate Matte

WAR SITUATION.

There is little activity in the eastern
war zone on account of the breaking of
spring with it's rain, which makes the
ground too soft for moving of artillery
and high waters prevent movement of
troops. France and England seem to
be preparing for another offensive in
the west. Little being dome against

TAX LEVY

G. l. McNeal was allowed $205. IS
tor building bridge over yellow
Creek. Some discussion arose over al
lowing the amount because the build
ing of the brigde had not been ordered
by the court. 1t was shown that the
bridge was badly needed as the stream
was impossible and the old bridge had
been condemned for over year. The
court allowed the amount. but made it
clear that such action should not be
taken in the future because such a
course would result in running the
county in debt and in some instances a
distinct loss to the county by excessive
charges for such work. In this case it
was felt that the charge had been very
reasonable and good work done.
Most matters touching the proposed
Dixie Highway were given in our issue
OF last week. Judge G. r. Burnett
was directed by the court to correspond
with Judge Ward Case, of Fentress
county, looking to the calling of con-
ference of the counties along the pro-
posed highway in this state to meet IN
Crossville at an early da:e. Judge
Burnett has heard from Judge Case
and the meeting will be called for
some time next week. Court being IN
session at jamestown this week it
could not we'll be held until next week.
So soon as Judge Case can communi-
cate with the other counties he will ls-
sue the call.
