In answer to a communication
from Mr.. TrimbIe, general man
ager of the Duck River Power
Co., relative to furnishing Car
thage with electricity, Mayor A.
@. Read has invited Mr.. Trimble
to come to Carthage and take
the matter up with the Town
Council. Upon receipt o f a
franchise and contract to light
the streets, Mr.. Trimble proposes
to furnish. at a reasonable price.
sufficient power for lighting pur-
poses, running fans, mortors,
etc., all day and all night-just
the kind of power Carthage
wants. This appears to be the
most promising opportunity to
get electricity the town has ever
had, and it is devoutly hoped
that satisfactory arrangements
can be made whereby Carthage
can get an electrical current of
this kind. In addition to the
fact that electricity is a great
luxury, it is Of vast benefit to a
town. 1t lends attractiveness to
the homes, business houses and
streets and adds to the wealth
of the community in which it is
installed.
That Carthage is in great need
of electricity is certain, and the
progressive citizens Of the town
should urge the council to take
steps to contract with this COM
pany il found to be reasonable.
With a 10000 high school
building and 24-hour electrical
current, Carthage would need
but one other improvement
waterworks- to make it an ideal
city. We should have these
conveniences, and there are
enough enterprising men here to
get them If we viii but work TO-
gether. Let's not allow a mat
ter Of a few cents agar to deter
us In our march of progress.
Let's come to the front rank in
every line.

EASIER.

Next Sunday is Easter. The
date of Easter has been discuss
ed and finally settled by adopt
ing the rule which makes Easter
day to be always the first Sun
day after the full moon which
happens on or next after March,
81; and if a full moon happen on
a Sunday. Easter is the Sunday
after. Thus we see why Easter
may come as early as March %
or as. late as April Is.
Easter has been termed the
queen of festivals; and. although
it is not a command of God, it
has been observed from the very
beginning and celebrated in
every part of the Christian
world by some denominations.
The resurrection of Christ gave
rise to Easter; and the primitive
Christians very early on the
morning of Easter saluted each
other with the words: Christ is
risen;" to which the response
was made: Christ is risen in
deed, and hath appeared to
Simon" Today, Easter is cele-
brated by various ceremonies,
popular sports and superstitions,
and is a time for joy, egg hunt
ing, etc.
The English name Easter and
the German name Ostern have
been supposed by some writer's tc
be derived from the Teutonic god.

We opine that if the Nashville
Banner had an innocent loved
one or near relative condemned
to death, it would be glad to
change its position on the capt.
tai punishment bill. It would
then. perhaps, think that the
action was not prompted by sem
timentalists, but by men who
regard human life as being
sacred. The law legalizing MUIR
der is heathenish and brutal and
should never have been on our
statute books. We commend
Mr.. Duke C. Bowers for his ac-
tivities in getting the measure
before the general assembly and
the general assembly for its ac-
ton in passing the bill.

We call attention to an article
in this issue of the Courier writ

ing on high schools. Prof.
Clark is a member of the faculty
at the University of Tennessee.
and has been very active and
effective in assisting counties in
establishing high schools. He
was at one time a teacher in the
school at this place and is ac-
quainted with conditions in the
county. His article should be
read and thoroughly digested
and learn more about the great
advantages high schools afford a
county.

REASONS FOR HIGH SCHOOLS


Bedford county shipped to Win
chester $185 900 which had to be
dug from the soil. At 6 per
cent that would make So. 100 a
year. With that $135. 900 Bed
ford county could endow q sys-
TEN of high schools and run
them for eternity without cent
of taxation. That is not all.
Bedford b as lost population
steadily for twenty years. She
lost 1900 in the last decade.
Marshall county lost 1000 in the
last decade. one out of every
niue people. Her magistrates
walked up at the January court
aud voted a high school levy to
educate her children at home In
Agriculture and 'Housewifery'
so they would stay at home.
Poor little Moore county, where
there are some of the finest peo-
pie In the world. discovered that
she had lost one-sixth of her
population In the last decade.
So she voted high school levy
to educate her children and keep
them at home. Little Meigs
county found she had lost one
fifth of her population. So she
voted high school. Thirty-seven
counties in Tennessee lost pop
ulation in the last decade and
three fourths of these are in
counties which levy the mini
mum for SCHOOLS.
! Reason, No. 5. In this pro-
gressive age. no county or state
can afford to stand still. Ii it
does. tits lost. OF 1853. 900 popu-
lation which Tennessee gained
in the last decade, over oEe-half,
90, 900, was In East Tennessee.
East Tennessee is leading Ten
nessee in good schools and good
roads.
If Fast Tennessee were a sep
arate state. it would be one OF
the leading states. educationally
in the Union. 1t is unpleasant
to say the truth. but here it is,
my friends of Middle and West
Tennessee, and / am from Mid
die Tennessee myself. You have
felt chagrined when you looked
at COMMISSIONS Claxton s charts
and saw Tennessee so near the
bottom. If Middle Tennessee
did not hang around Tennessee i
neck like clog. this proud old
Volunteer State would have fal
higher rank educationally. But
Middle Tennessee is waking uI
: at, last. In the last twelve
months eight counties In Mid.
die Tennessee added high schools
In the past, Middle Tennessee
lied In culture; but she has beer

, Tennessee has past her by. Ii
I this progressive age. no state
and no county can stand still
J IIf it does it is lost.
If your county does not have
high schools, it is losing money
There is money set aside in the
state treasury for every county

school. If it does not, tina

quickly bring better elementary
schools because they train the
elementary school teachers.
Reason, No. 2. They give
practical education in Manual
Training. Cooking, sc wing,
Agriculture, Science. CONNER
cial Work.
Reason, No, 3. One third of
Tennessee is under mortgage to
outsiders. and it is the best
third. Our county and city bonds
are held in New York and Chi
cago. Our railroads, street-cars,
water-power, telegraph and tele-
phone lines. and large lumber
tracts are owned by outsiders.
There areetwo counties in Mid
die Tennessee where over half
the property is owned by out
siders. Friends, let US pay off
this mortgage and let the old
Volunteer State go free. Do
you know how Tennessee came
to be under mortgage? Because
we have not had enough trained
water power engineers, mining
engineers, electrical engineers,
etc. The North trains her sons
In these lines. They come into
Tennessee and find zinc, lead,
iron, copper, where we thought
there was nothing but rock.
They know how to use machin-
cry, and we do not. If we want
a new railroad built or a mine
opened. we get Northern techni-
cally trained men to do the
work at $5a day; and we furn-
| ish the unskilled labor at 81 so
day. Very soon the Northern
man owns the railroad or mine.
/, There is only one way to pay
off that mortgage. We must dc
as other states have done. We
must educate our people. We
have two chronological schools
in Tennessee. one of them at the
State University. 1t cannot be-
gin to graduate enough trained
engiueers.in mining, electricity
ETC., to fill the vacant positions,
because it cannot get enough
pupils. A. boy must finish the
high school before he can enter
the university. Many pool
widow son wants to be educat'
ed in chronological schools au6
get these fine positions, but
there is no high school in hi
;. county. So his education il
prevented. The State suffers
. too, because it needs trained
and skilled sons and daughters
Tennessee needs more college
graduates. 1t cannot get then
until there are more high schoo
graduates.
J, In the United States there are
10, 900 high schools with l, 100
600 students. Less than $50 o
d these with about 5000 pupils
are in Tennessee. The little
} state of Maine had in 1910, IL
high schools with 10. 900 students
:. We could tuck several state

into Tennessee. Yet Massachu
setts has 248 high schools witt
$4,000 students; Ohio has $50
with 10000 students; Indiana
: over 600 with 40, 900 students
Missouri. $50 with $4,000 stu

students. In several states. 2
per cent of the children ente
