Some months ago | had occa.
sion to send Il message to school

ton devoted to instruction bear
ing directly on the problems of
community and national life.
called attention then TO the
fact that this was not n plea
for II temporary enlargement of

merely to the period of tho war,
but n plea for tho realization IN
public education of the new
emphasis which the war has
given to the ideals of demo-
cracy and to the broader con-
ceptions of national life.
The American Red Cross de
votes itself to the extension
of our ideals and the spirit of
humanity. Nowhere can its
cause be exerted to better ad
vantage than in the schools,
and | have already approved
the widespread plan which
brings young people into junior

am told that the articles
from The Red Cross Magazine,
which in spirit explain aud eX-
tend these interests, are being
used as reading lessons i'll thou

coming numbers of the maya
zine will contain articles espe-
cially designed for this patrio-
tic purpose. This plan is excel
lent, and look forward To II

day night accompanied by his
father, Senator John NJ. Goodloe.
The funeral services were con
Quoted from the Baptist church

O'Clock by Rev. j NJ. Smith, as
sisted by Rev. G. w. Dean. A
large number of sorrowing friends
were i'll attendance and many
beautiful floral tributes bore 81
lent testimony to the esteem
with which MIR. Goodloe was re-
garded by all The intermcnt
was made in Glencoe cemetery.
He is survived by his parents,
two brothers, John Alien Good
loe, Of the American Expedition
airy Forces in France, and Cor
don Goodloe, Of Big Stone Gap,
four sisters, Mrs, X. b. 'l'insley,
of Chattanooga, Tenn. and Mrs.
j. 7. Smith, OF City Point, Viz
ginia, and Misses Louise and
Nita Goodloe, OF Big Stone Gap.
Tayenor Benjamin Goodloe,
the eldest son of Senator and
Mrs. John NJ. Goodloe, was born
at Craigsvillc, Augusta county,
Virginia, August -, 1851. He
accompanied his parents to Big
Stone Gap upon their removal to
this place when he was about
four years of age. He grew up
here, where he was hest known
and as a boy in the home and on
the streets, in the school and ON
the base ball grounds and tennis
courts, he was a favoritc with
young and old, white and color
ed. As it has been well said
since the news Of his death ar
rived, "Everybody knew and
loved Tav.
In the fall of 1902 lie matricu
lated in the Virginia Military
Institute at Lexington, where he
made good progress in his studies,
and from which institution he
was graduated in 1906. fRcturn-
ing to Wise county, he accepted
a position at the Keokce plant
where he remained for one year.
He then accepted position with
the commercial department OF
the General Electric Company,
with headquarters at Philadcl-
phia. For the past eight years
he has been the supervisor OF
stores for the United States Tire
| Company and the United States
Rubber Company, with head
quarters in Richmond, Atlanta
and New York, respectively. In
this position great responsible
ties rested upon his shoulders,
and his duties were of the most
eXacting and arduous nature.
The splendid manner in which
he met these responsibilities and
performed these duties has been
observed with much pride by his
loved ones and friends. As he
travelled over the country from
Boston to Omaha, and from
Chicago to Atlanta, success at
tended his efforts; friends were
numbered by the hundred and
in his various stopping places he
shed abroad;the sweet influences
of his lofty nature, his noble as
pirations, and his attractive per
sonality.
Now that he has been taken
from our midst, the thought that
rises most prominently in our
minds is that he has made the
supreme sacrifice for all of us,
He truly died for his country
For the past six months he had
been eager to enter the service
of his country i'll this her crisis
A physical defect stood between
| him and the service, which ac-
cording to the advice of his med
