THE CONFERENCE OF MOUNTAIN
WORKERS AT KNOXVILLE,
TENN. MARCH 1915

| A numebr OF the Faculty ATTENDED,
the annual Conference of Mountain
Workers recently held in Knoxville,
Tenn. This was most significant
and important meeting. There were
$50 men and women interested in
mountain schools. and almost all of
them actually at work in mountain
schools scattered through Vir-
ginia, the Carolipas. Georgia, Ala
hama, Tennessee, and Kentucky.
Ten years ago il would probably
have been impossible TO get people
Of so many different denominations
TO attend the same meeting, but now
good many spoke Of the evils Of
UNCONVENTIONAL rivalry. Christian
people are really beginning TO get
together and TO recongnize that we
must have a sincere purpose to help
the mountain people, instead OF en-
rolling mountain people to swell
our own denomination.
President Frost made one Of the
addresses. in which he gave five
principles that should govern the
conduct of any worker in the
mountains.
The principles were:
|. Denounce nothing I do not I'M
derstand.
2. Separate no families.
3. Invite none but graduates
from other schools.
s. No new work within two hours
journey of a similar one existing.
5. No waste by avoidable dupli-
cation of effort.
Professor Calfee spoke vigorously
and gave actual examples of almost
all the points he made, which
doubled their enioyableness. He
said the school should teach the
whole community. and not only the
children. In the United States only
one person in ten saves any money;
in England three in ten have bank
accounts. II is the school that
must teach economy and thrift. One
teacher planned to have all of the
pupils visit the best kept farm in
the district. When the people heard
this announcement. a great many of
them began to clean up and improve
their farms, each hoping to win the
honor Of the school visit.
The United States Government was
by Mr.. McBrien. who
how eager our National De-
partment of Education is to cooper
ate with every district in the United
States that wants to improve its edu-
cational conditions. Many very en-
couraging things were reported. The
of consolidated schools is
and many places, where
roads had seemed too bad for the
pupils ofstwo districts to reach one
central school, have built a good
graded school and find attendance is
largely increased. Some teachers Of
cooking had spent the summer going
from one district TO another giving
lessons TO each district for ten days.
Mrs. Cora Wilson Stewart spoke OF
the simple beginning and the great
success Of the Moonlight Schools in
Kentucky, which are held for four
nights a week for three weeks, and
this is repeated month
later. People from eighteen 10
ninety-eight years of age have learn
ed TO read and write in these schools.

OUR FIRST GAME OF BASE BALL

Last Thursday the Foundation
School played their first game Of
base ball. We were defeated 1870.

inexperience Of our team rather
than TO the good playing Of the
Normal boys.
Lineup: Conner Johnson, Royse.
Miles Moore, Foster, Arbelo, Morgan.
Richardson. Pope Smith, Harry
Smith. McNeel took Fosters place
in the ninth.

The Young Mems and Young
Women's Christian Associations
met together in Upper Chapel SUM-
day night. The meeting was led
by Mr.. Taylor on the topic. "Kords
and Dis-Chords of Life" He gave
a brief but interesting history Of
the development Of music from the
original simple sounds down TO the
complicated symphonies of this age.
He asked several people to read
numerous descriptions Of the origin
and use of particular instruments.
The use Of the Cabinet organ was
emphasized.
After placing theory Of music be-
fore his hearers he gave numbers
on his favorite organ to show the
varied power of music. The sor-
rowful, joyful, strong, the pathetic
aspects Of life as seen in music
were demonstrated. He closed with
the rendition Of that beautiful little
song, annie Laurie"
The chapel was filled and many
were compelled to stand on the out
side. This was one of the greatest
meetings of the Associations this
year.
There is something in these meet
ings for everyone. Are you getting
your share?

the progressive platform are subor-
dinate to the supreme question OF
leadership. On this point, the doc
ument is as uncompromising as the
keynote speech of Raymond Robins.
1t is one worshipful cry Of: I'VE want
Teddy-and mean to have him.
The republican platform likewise,
borrows a couple Of democratic ana
Wilsonian ideas. 1t declares for VOL
untary military training and service
in spite of the strong efforts made to
secure plank calling for compulsory
training. 1t favors woman suffrage,
but says that this is matter Tor the
states to handle.
President Wilson has been roundly
denounced in republican circles for
saving the same things-which goes
to show how hard up for an issue the
G. o. P. really is.
Such issues as the republican plat
form can find, however, 1T states IN
the good ancient fashion. 1t blames
President Wilson for his handling or
the Mexican ditficulty-quite forget
ting that he inherited that puzzle
from republican president. 1t makes
a needless declaration in favor OF
neutrality 1t talks in rather general
terms about the merchant marine,
and of course it sings paeans OF
praise to the tariff. A republican
platform without hymn to the tariff
would not be recognizable in any po-
litical athering.-Chicago journal.

THE TWO PLATFORMS.

The progressive and republican
platforms are before the people. 1t is
obvious that the leaders of both these
parties agree with the street car con-
ductor who told Tom Johnson that a
platform is made to get in on, not to
stand on; but at least these docu-
ments show what their makers think
will help them in getting in.
The progressive platform views the
world with alarm and sounds the
loud tocsin' Of national defense. The
democrat who can read this part OF
the document without grinning has
weak sense of humor. The progress
sives may not know it, but they are
demanding" things that the demo-
cratic administration now in power
has already given to the country.
They demand a regular army Of
100000 men. The army bill recently
signed by President Wilson prov4oes
for 100000 regular soldiers-and
authorizes the president, without any
further legislative action, to accept
recruits up to 254,000 whenever he
deems it necessary or wise.
They demand the second strong
est navy in the world Six months
ago the democratic administration
presented a plan for securing that
rank within five years, and the
building plan has been speeded up
until it seems likely that we shall
reach the goal in three years, per-
haps in two.
They '-oeclare'' with the manner of
people making new discovery, that
our old time isolation is gone and
that we must help maintain the peace
of the world when peace returns.
President Wilson announced the
readiness of the United States to take
part in that work two weeks ago.
AS soon as it quits following the
democratic lead, the progressive plat
form ceases to be interesting. 1t
favors protective tariff and tariff
commission. 1t calls for 1.-The re-es-
adjustment of our merchant marine
without saying how the work is to be
done 1t reaffirms the platform of
social and industrial justice" which
the party put forth four years ago.
This, of course, includes that beauti-
full scheme for the recall of judicial
decisions, aptly described as IAN ap-
peal from the umpire to the bleach
ers," which Roosevelt favored so
strenuously in 1912.
But all policies and principles OF

MEREDITH WILL WIN.

The primary election has passed
into history and w. l.. Harding has
procured the nomination for COVER
nor on the republican ticket.
In order to procure II he has &C
complished the amalgamation of all
the hates, prejudices, and envies, OF
all the kicks, objections and protests
of everybody against everything.
Wherever he has found man who
had a complaint against any other
republican he has diligently famed 1t
into flame and directed the fire to
his opposition.
An ANALYSIS of his vote would indi-
cate that he has polled something less
than half of the votes cast for the re-
publican ticket which was approx
mately half of the voting strength OF
the republican party In other words,
Mr.. Harding polled something like
25 per cent of the republican strength
of the state. When the fat some
democrats voted for .Mr. Harding is
taken into consideration and that the
vets are usually more in evidence
and more surely cast their vote than
the drys. that those whom Mr.. Hard
ing misled on the road issue would be
sure to vote is taken into considera-
ton, it would seem he has not shown
any great strength as against a can
didate on a constructive platform
with the dry element really aroused
to the Importance of their voting in
November.
Mr.. Harding never will be able to
claim as much strength again; the
permanent things in this world are
not and cannot be builded on hate,
prejudice, malice and envy; polite
ians cannot win by the unholy ANAL
gamation of these elements in the
body polite.
E. T. Meredith zones to the people
with a real message; a message and
a program which he announces clear
ly, directly and without subterfuge;
there is no false note, no appeal for
strength to the baseness OF hatred
and prejudice; just clean cut,
wholesome outlook for a bigger, bet
ter Iowa, and getter government and
better conditions for all OF the peo-
pie of the commonwealth.
Meredith will practically poll the
full voting, strength of his party and
to that vote will be added that great
mass of republican voters who have
correctly interpreted the meaning OF
the Harding candidacy and the I'M
wholesome forces behind it.
Meredith will win over Harding by
nifty thousand.
