Golden Rule and q new emphasis
on kindness, brotherliness and hu-
manity can sllag. Never was the
need of humane education so great,
The man who would put a million
dollars into the training of the
youth of this land in the funda-
mental principles of justice and
kindness to every living creature
would deserve a place in the Hall
of Fame. To give this humane
education to a child should be uni
versally deemed as vital as to teach
him to read.
With the ending of this war the
United States will doubtless be in
in a better condition than any
other nation to respond to the
needs of a suffering world. Our
institutions and the causes Of our
successes will be more widely
studied than ever. Humane edu-
cation in every school would be
one of the noblest object lessons to
which the attention of visitors
from other lands could be called.
Who will give the million dol
lars? With it we would agree to
reach every public school of the
land. Humane education means
the doom Of war. The Dumb An

had Every person present pro-
seanced it wonderful speech.
After this most excellent enter
tainment the good women spread
one of the mostsumptuoas dinners
a school rally in this vicinity ever
knews
The afternoon program was
made up of recitations, quartettes
and talks. mostly by local speak
ers. The chief speaker being Prof.
Albert Williams, the state high
school Inspector, and with his
masterful stroke of wit and poeti-
cal fights, his clear deliniation Of
human character and pleasing adj
dress, made a very profound inn
preston on the minds of the
hearers.
Prof. D. T. Barnhill. as is his
custom, made a vary appropriate
talk, though time was SO limited,
he did not talk as long as the au-
dience disired. Miss Hawkins was
also here with her talk of things
beneficial and good. She has been
a great aid to the county schools.
Wednesday morning the school
opened With, by far, the largest
attendance we ever had. All of
our old students returned and
many new ones. Our enrolment
reached about 100 the first day.
and this is a remarkable occurance
on account of the immense amount
Of farm work that is to be done in
the near future. Everyone feels
more encouraged now than ever be-
fore and the school is already an
assured success.

Since last Sunday night it has
been unlawful to manufacture
whisky 10 the United States. This
is measure to last during the
continuation of the war. The
temperance people, who have been
praying these years for such con-
dition, will watch the results with
interest. Most, if not all of them,
however. would be willing to have
old conditions restored if it meant
the close of the war.

a GOOD LIBRARY

In the past we have thought rel
atively too much about teaching
people how to read, and not
enough about getting them to read
after they learn how. To develop
the reading habit" in each pupil
should be one of the chief aims of
every teacher. Train any child SO
be likes to read, so he is a real
book-lover, and he will educate
himself even if he never goes to
school another day. Moreover, if
a school has a good library, it
should aid greatly in educating the
older people whose school days are
over. but whose learning days
should never be over. The saying
Of old Thomas Carlyle, The True
University Of these days is Col
lection of Books cannot be too
often repeated.
In practically every state now
the state offers to pay part of the
cost Of a library if the patrons of
the school will raise the other part,
and it is discredit to the people
Of any district if their school is
without a library. The money can
be raised by private subscriptions,
BY entertainments, and gifts by
business men and former residents
of the community, etc. In every
southern state, too, which gives
its people the benefit of a travel
ing library service Virginia,
North Carolina, Tennessee, Ala
bama and Texas the teacher and
school committeeman should see to
it that The people gets its benefits.
The Progressive Farmer.
No school or family has done its
full duty to the children under its
care that fails to inspire them with
a love of reading. When one loves
to read he will become informed
and will appear to better advantage
in society and in the business
world.
The love for reading in children |
comes more from having in the
house a live county paper that
gives the local news than from
any other source. This fact can
he fully attested.

Judge A. H. Roberts, of Garth
age, is a candidate for the demo-
cratic nomination for governor.
The nomination will be made by
primary, August Of next year, and
while this is some time off, yet
some interest is being manifested
in the governors race by leaders
of the party. Judge Roberts was a
candidate before the convention
that nominated Governor Rye the
first time and had positive
strength quite complimentary to
him. He is a strong man and
would make a good governor. The
Judge insists that this is the Mid
die Tennessee timerto furnish the
candidate. He refers to the fact
that East Tennessee has been hon
ored with Governors Taylor, Fra
zier and Cox, and West Tennessee
with Governors Patterson and Rye
since Middle Tennessee has furn-
ished a governor. He also in
sists that the other two divisions
have the United States senator's and
nearly all other important state
officers and there appears to be a
strong inclination to give the next
governor to Middle Tennessee.

Uncle Sam has new steamer, the
Surveyor, for use in the coast and

5000 miles at full speed or $500 miles
at working speed
The vessel is equipped with water
tanks and storerOOmS sufficient for a
period of six months. The refrigera-
tors are exceptionally large, so that
the crew may have fresh meat7 and
vegetables while distant from port for
considerable periods during the long
surveying seasons.
The Surveyor will carry full equip
ment of surveying instruments, includ-
ing two sounding machines, one elec-
trically driven and one steam driven.
Her boat equipment consists of four
mOtOr-driven launches, two whale

MANY VARIETIES OF THRIFT

tary Matters.

What are the specific objects of
thrift? Peace of mind and satisfaction
with life, founded on happiness in
the passing days, efficiency in work,
safe provision for emergencies and
old age. Under these definitions thrift
is not confined to petty monetary
scrimping on food, clothing, or recrea-
ton. One may be thrifty in the use
of time, labor, mental powers, mate
rial possessions, as well as in the
handling of money. Thrift is not lin
tied to those who merely lay aside
money for a rainy day. 1t is prac-
ticed in other ways by wise present
investments which increase efficiency
so that the rainy day never comes,

The arrival Of European in a
Zulu village, the opening of a railway,
war, famine, plague of locusts, a
pestilence, may become topics for semi
public songs that are soon circulated
among the people. Songs are used at
the public functions of chiefs, such as
the feast of the first fruits and at
royal marriages. War and tribal
songs are possessed by every chief and
tribe. At marriages and other public
ceremonies it is the Zulu custom to
render not only the songs of the liv-
ing chief, but those made famous BY
his father and grandfather.

IA. Standing on a hill whence he
could obtain a general view William,
formed his army in three divisions, ex-
hOrtlng his soldiers: For Gods sake
spare not; strike hard at the begin
ming; stay not to take spoil; all the
booty shall be in common, and there
will be plenty for everyone. Fly not
fly no farther You will find no ships
or bridge there, and the English will
overtake you and slay you in your
shame. Fight and conquer"
William attacked with his foot SOL

body of knights on horseback support
Ing them. The English stood firm, the
men Of Kent claiming the honor Of
meeting the first assault and the Lon
dOners making themselves the guard
ians of the kings standard and the
kings person. The first action was
brought on by one Tellifer, Norman
baron, who claimed from Robert the
right to advance singly and land the
first blow. This being granted, he
charged alone at the gallOp, striking
do IN two of the English before he was
surrounded and slain. Followed swift
ly the general engagement, with furi-
Gus melee Of swords, spears, battleaXes
and great maces. In a desperate
counter charge the English hurled back

Then the Norman archers. finding
their flights unavalllng against the
English protection Of shields, took to
shooting high in the air, the missiles
killing as they descended. One Of these
arrows found It's mark in Harold's
right eye, binding him and making
him almost frantic with pain. Still
the English held on, and the NOrmanS
tried the ruse of pretended flight to
draw them from their fertilization. In
an evsi moment the English followed.
Then the Normans, facing about and
with William at their head, charged in
overwhelming numbers. Though the
men Of Kent and Essex fought like
fends, the English were broken and
borne down. Harold, defending him
