Thousands of the brainiest business
men in America are devoting all of
their time, without salaries or remu-
nerations of any kind, to war work
These men were placed in the harness
because they were the type of men
who had enough business experience
to do the big things that the nation
needed done to assure victory.
No man in the state of Colorado has
better knowledge of conditions un.
der which all classes of our people
work and live than Mr.. Phipps He
has devoted more of his own time and
money to the advancement of public
welfare and human happiness than
any other man in the state He did it
because he believes that men Of
wealth should share their happiness
with those who need it.
Mr.. Phipps has always refused to
accept any political honor in the past,
and would not accept the honor Of be-
coming Colorado's United States SEN
ator now, even II he were the choice
OF both political parties, unless he was
convinced by his friends that his ex-
ceptional special business training
was needed in Washington at this
time.

We owe it as duty to our nation and

EVENTS AT PEARL HIGH
SCHOOL.

The entire corps of colored teach
ers assembled in the auditorium Of
this school last Wednesday to extend
greetings and welcome to Prof. H.
Carl Weber, the new superintendent
elect of the city schools of Nashville.
The occasion was a joyous one. A
few weeks ago, similar meeting
was held by the white teachers.
These gatherings are unique and UNI
precedented The different Boards
of Education in the past have elected
several superintendent during the
history of the public schools of the
city, but never before has any sup
erintendent received such felicia
lions in advance of his taking Office.
These meetings bespeak the popu,
larity of Prof. Weber with the
teachers and the high esteem in
which he is held by them as an edu-
Gator. After the preliminary eXer-
cises, the new superintendent
was introduced. His remarks were
ed that he had lost none OF his old
time punch" There is still that
same force and dynamic power in
him which brought the Nashville
public schools to such q high state
of efficiency ten years ago. He is
original; he thinks for himself; he
does not follow the beaten track;
he makes a path of his own. There
is no doubt that the Board of Edu-
cation has acted most wisely in its
selection. There was a sentiment of
regret expressed by all the speakers
at the retirement of Prof. j. j.
Keyes. The schools have made prog
ress under his administration and
several new buildings have been
erected during his term of office. He
leaves the Office of superintendent
voluntarily, but will still be connect
ed with the schools in the capacity
of teacher.

the teaching corps; Prof. e. w. Ben
ton, speaking for the principals; Miss
E. j. Terry, in behalf Of the lady
