great help to any district school while
the school is doing actual work We
have one in this district, and we aim to
visit the school at least once each
month, going in a body. If we have
any criticism to make, either as
whole, or as an individual we make it
here, where the teacher and all the
neighbors can hear it, The teacher
welcomes these meetings and the out
spokenness of the patrons of the
school, for, as he says, he knows in
this way whenever a patron is dissat-
istied, and in every instance so far he
has been able to end the dissatisfac-
ton at once. There is no more growl-
ing about the school over the phone
lines since the regular visits to the
school have become the custom-the
patrons wait with their kicks until
they actually are in the school room,
and then, in nine cases ont Of ten they
find they have no cause for kicking and
go home better satisfied than ever
with the work of the teacher.
Anyway, whether you have parent.
teacher association in your district or
not, visit your school. Whether salts
fed or not with the work of the teach
er, go to the school and spend at least
half day while the school is in actual
work. The chances are that you will
come home better satisfied than ever
with the teacher if you were satisfied
at the beginning and much of your
dissatisfaction will disappear if you
went with dissatisfaction appearing at
every move The reasonable person
has only to see the teacher in actual
charge of the school to realize the prob
lens, both large and small, that con-
tinually arise, and then, if that person
will continue in a reasonable state of
mind, the little tales told by John
NY or Ruth will be wonderfully dis
counted and the parent will see that
more often the child instead of the
teacher is in the wrong. But even if
the teacher should be in the wrong.
20 direct to the teacher with your com
plant instead Of peddling it whole
sale in the neighborhood. If the pat
rons will visit their school regularly
ninety-nine times out of hundred all
in the district will remain satisfied
with the work of the teacher and all
pupils will do better work.-H. H. in

SCARCITY OF COTTON SEED.

Good, early planting cotton seed
promises to be scarce next spring, es-
pecially in the large territory where
the weevils got in their worst work
this season, according to the informa-
ton service of the Mississippi A. &
M. College. The mill price being high
and cotton scarce, not enough is being
held in many localities to plant next
years crop, The Cleveland Big Boil
seed is going to be especially in de-
mand, they claim. This variety has
shown up well for several years and
this year has given especially good re-
suits as cotton to plant under boil
weevil conditions. The state expert
ment station places it in the front rank
as an early variety, 1t has shown up
well among growers in nearly every
part Of the state.
They suggest that all people having
this variety where it has produced
well, save it for seed. By the begin
ming of the year there will be a de-
mand for it. Some other varieties,
Cooks Improved class up very well,
and in view Of the promised scarcity
they suggest saving some planting
seed from the best crops regardless of
name.

VISIT YOUR SCHOOL.

At a recent public gathering Of
from three to four hundred people,
who were earnestly discussing the
problem of lettering the district
schools, a call was made for the num-
Der Of people in the audience who had
visited their school within the past
year to hold up their hands. Only
fourteen responded Only fourteen
out of a probable four hundred. And
they all were patrons Of district
schools, Yet practically every person
in the room had some opinion on the
subject Of schools had some idea they
edvanced as to school improvement, or
offered some criticism as to the pres
ent method Of teaching in district
schools. Without being present dur
ing school hours for at least a year,
how could a patron honestly and with
first-hand knowledge say whether or
not their school was being conducted
as it should be?
1t should be the duty Of every pat
ron Of every school to visit at least
one session during each term. If you
do not. how do you know how the work
is progressing? Johnny may come
home and tell you, but Johnny may not
always have it just right, even if he is
your child. One of the great faults
with which many parents are afflicted
is to believe their children in the tales
they tell as they come home from
school. whereupon said parent immedi-
ately starts a line Of gossip over the
phone that quickly spreads over the
district, telling how my Johnny. or
my Ruth" has been snubbed or abus-
ed or put back in their books by the
teacher without reason and without
justice Hold your tongue regarding
the merits or dement's Of the teacher
and as to the exact truth of what
Johnny and Ruth" tell until you
visit the school, then investigate thor
oughly and talk things over with the
teacher. Take your criticism direct to
the teacher instead of peddling it all
over the neighborhood.

1910 allows one congressman for each
100000 people in the United States.
The Eighth district has only 1929
population, more than $4,000 less than
the apportionment standard.
On the other hand, the tenth dis
trict has 273,166, more than 10000
more than necessary.
States are divided into congressional
districts merely to emphasize local
self-government. Tennessee could send
her ten congressman to Washington
from the State at large if the legisla-
ture so enacted.
But it is reported that Hardeman
county will be taken from the tenth
district and thrown into the eighth,
to make up for the deficiency on the
one hand and the overplus on the 9TH
er
With Hardeman's 23,011 popula-
ton in the eighth that district would
have a total of 20,230, still less than
the exact ratio, but fairly near enough
to equallze 1T.
The withdrawal of Hardeman from
the tenth would leave this district with
population of 250,155. The tenth
could easily part with Fayette coun-
TVS 30,257 population and still be
head and shoulders above the ratio
Hardeman county is geographically
akin to the eighth district.
Really Shelby county ought to have
congressman. The Eighth district
has fewer people than Shelby county
alone. But the legislature has beer
leery of congressional and Legislative
appointments during the last fifteen
years.
