PROF. GOLLEHON TIC LEAVE
Will Not Seek Re Election as Princi
pal of TaZcwell High School.

1t is understood that Prof. S. G.
Gollehon, the principal of the Tnzc.
well High School, will not be an APP
pI;cant for reelection when he board
meets tomorrow, the 22nd.
This is Mr. Gollihon's second year as
principal Of the High School here
and so far as the writer of these
lines has been able to learn there has
been no fault or criticism offered ex-
ccpt as is to be expected in Il school
the size of this, and what little fric-
ton there has been has been along
the line of discipline. So far as the
advancement of the upils is concerned
those who have the ability to Judge
are well satisfied and pleased.
Mr.. Lincoln, State inspector, placed
the Tazcwell High School, in both the
management and progress Of the pu-
pills, alongside of the very best in the
State. Prof. Golehon has "stuck to
his job" closely and faithfully, and
everybody believes, has done his best
to discharge his duties and to make
the most of the material he had in
hand.
Although the school authorities have
given out nothing for publication, il
can be stated here with n degree of
certainty that Mr.. Gollehon's sue
cessor has been practically agreed
upon from among Il number of appli-
cations.
Prof. Gollehon has Il fine position
rendered him in Tennessee, which he
will probably accept. He has many
friends who will deeply regret his
leaving
And while we are at it, We give
expression to an opinion widely held
viz: there should be Il number of
male teachers in the grade depart
mcnts of the school The young wom-
en- and girls, good teachers and well
qualified they may be and generally
are, cannot take the place of male
teachers for classes of large boys
TO place young girls, with little or
no experience. over II class of large
boys, some of them tough" rs is
sometimes the case, is to handicar
and cmbarass her and the boys ms
well. n wise woman of mature years
can fill the placc-or any place in
the school just rs we'll rs a man. Her
influence, if she be true, wise teach.
or, Is always for good, but we have
| from observation and experience, beer
convinced of the unwisdom of placing
young girls with little experience Il.
teachers of large boys, so long as
hoys are what they are In this opin.
ION some will not agree with us, but
we believe that the majority of prin-
clpals of High Schools in the State
nearly all of whom are men, will
agree that there should be one o.
more male teachers in the grades in
be employed for less money than male
teachers and there's the trouble.

CONSOLIDATION OF CHURCHES

There is much talk and agitation in
certain sections of the country, of the
necessity and wisdom of consolidate
ing weak once-a-month churches.
The schools are being consolidated.
The one-room, onc-teachcr school is
becoming thing of the past in many
sections of the country. Sunday
Schools and workers have been cen
tralzine and consolidating for years.
Why not churches, too? One good,
strong church, with large congrc
CATION and Il strong, resident pastor,
preaching every Sunday, is more
efficient than Il half dozen weak,
struggling, half starved institutions.
i But, church consolidation in this coun-
try, is Il dream. When the time comes
that we are more thoroughly christ
ian than we arc Mcthodists, Bap-
lists, Prcsbyterians, or Luthcrans, or
what not, if that time ever comes.
we will consolidate. Every one of
us are absolutely sure that we are
right and more orthodox than our
neighbor, and if any consolidating is
to be done, he must come to us. So,
there we are, and there we will con.
tinue to stick, and content and excuse
ourselves with some sort of "co-opcra.
tion," however poor and half-hcarted
1t is. Still, this consolidation agita.
ton should and will go on, and when
the millennium comes, will crystalize
ana become n reality.
