MOVEMENT TO ENLARGE
MT. PLEASANT SCHOOLS
CONGESTION OF BUILDINGS Is
BECOMING HANDICAP TO
EDUCATION

Necessity for increasing the faciti-
ties of the Mt. Pleasant public school
buildings has reached the point where
citizens of that city are considering
plans for enlarging the Howard high
school building. No definit eplan has
been adopted, but it is likely to take
the form either of an enlargement OF
the Howard building or the construc-
ton of a larger high schol building.
Prof. G. S. Austin, superintendent
of the city schools, stated this morn
ing that the congestion in the school
buildings of his city had become so
great that it was no longer possible
to give the pupils justice in the man
ner of an education. They are too
crowded for the best health condi-
tons. Glasses are too large for the
rooms occupied by them and the en-
rollment at both the Howard and the
Hay-Long school is increasing each
session.
The Howard school now has enroll
ed. 100 pupils while at the Hay-Long
schol more than 400 are in attendance.
II the compulsory school laws were
being strictly enforced, the buildings
would be literally overrun.

GOD CHOSE SOUTH FOR
TRAINING OF. SOLDIERS
DR.. ALLEN FORT EXPRESSES
THAT BELIEF IN OPENING Y.
N. c. A. CONVENTION.
saturdays Daily Herald. J

The menace of social conditions
that wrecked the old world was pointed
out by DR.. Allen Fort eminent divine
of Nashville, in his address last night
in opening the county Y. M. C. A. con-
yention at the First Methodist church.
1.-THE Challenge of the Hour" was his
subject and he declared that challenge
to be one to the Christian people OF
America to receive the boys who are
coming home fine and fit in manner
that will convert their powerful ener-
gies into something good for the ma
ton rather than permit them to fall
into evil ways because of a lack Of op-
portunity for good service.
DR.. Fort said that above all things
else the love of Christ and his teach
ings must be upheld and the basic in
situations OF Christianity maintained
in the face of modern social condi-
tions. He said that the war had taught
the American people how to do things.
1t has taught them to give, to give not
only of their money but of themselves
in service for humanity. There has
never been time in the history of the
human race when the heroic appealed
to men as it does today. They are
not looking for the easy things of life.
They are not travelling the pathway of
selfishness. But they are ready to do
anything that requires toll and sacri-
fee for the welfare of humanity. This
spirit must not be allowed to pass
without great victory for Christ.
Now is the time to make democracy
safe for the world.
DIR. Fort was a welfare worker at
one of the great American army
camps and there he saw how the sol,
diers were trained, how work was
made play in order that it might enter
into the makeup of the boys with the
least resistance, how they were made
into physical masters and hardened
for any trial or circumstance.
He said that he thought it was
something more than Democratic
president and a Democratic congress,
something more than salubrious eli
mate that caused the great majority
of the American soldiers to be train
ed in the South. 1t was the work of
God, he thought, that these fine Ameri-
can boys had been sent into the one
section of the country where the Book
is still revered and the old faith is
upheld to be trained for the war for.
worldwide freedom, and it was here
that thousands of them turned to God.
1t is the duty of the South, then, to
uphold that moral and social stand
ard fhen the soldiers return.

MAURY COUNTY s.
DELINQUENT IN
SUFFERERS AID
ONLY $4,000 OF $12,5oo QUOTA HAS
BEEN PAID WHILE CHRIS
TiANS STARvE.
HAVE CHURCHES FAILED IN THIS?
County Chairman G. O. Watts Makes
Appeal for Payment Of contribu-
tions and Reports From Other
Churches in County.

Reports from the workers in the
Near East describe conditions that
make the heart ache. Boys have been
lured from home by strangers, murder
ed and their bodies cooked and their
wasted flesh eaten. Mothers, naked
and starving, have been found strip
ping the putrid flesh from camels dead
for days and eating the remains in a
pitiful effort to cling to life. These
incidents give a meagre idea of the
unspeakable conditions existing now,
since an appeal was made to the Chris
tian people of Maury county. Cables
from throughout the Bible lands and
Western Asia report thousands of ref
ugees homeless and slowly starving to
death. A cable received but few
days ago reads: Refugees slowly
starving on animal corpses, slaughter
house blood" Another reads: Saw
naked women stripping flesh from
dead horse with hands today. Anoth-
err week will score ten thousand lives
lost. For heavens sake hurry
Tennessee has been asked to raise
100000 for this rescue work. The
last report on March showed Tennes-
see to be fourteenth in the Union, hav-
ing but seventy per cent of its quota
to its credit Maury county was call
ed upon to contribute $12,500. The
county chairman, the Rev. George o.
Watts, reports that UP to date but
$4,000 has been sent to the headquar.
ters. This work is pre-eminently a
Christian work that should be done
through the churches. But, alas, the
churches have failed to cooperate and
Maury county has not displayed its
usual vigor and interest. The First
Presbyterian church of Columbia did
its part nobly, having subscribed over
$780, st. Peters Episcopal church
contributed it's quota of $3.50, a fine re-
cord for small congregation. This
present campaign closes on April l.
The congregations Of Spring Hill have
done their part. The ministers OF the
various congregations are urgently re-
quested to give this vital matter their
attention. The Christian people of
Maury county cannot afford to fail
their brothers across the sea, to whose
forefathers they owe their Christian
heritage. The chairman urges every
one to make contribution through
the churches. Send in your cash sub
scriptions to ]. r. Brownlow at the
Maury National Bank. Nothing will
relieve Christian America of this
grave responsibility. But few reports
have been received from the churches
of the county, hence it is impossible
to make complete report.
A nationwide campaign for used
clothing will soon be started. Cloth
ing in large quantities is badly need
ed. Maury county has a splendid war
record and cannot afford to fail in this
appeal for help.

HUNT CLAIMS
 BACK SALARY
Attorney General Jones Also Be- Iieves there is More Salary Due Him.

Phoenix, Ariz., Jan. 11.-Former Gov. Geo. w. P. Hunt has filed with the state auditor a claim for back salary in the sum of $4529.51, cover ing a period of one year and nine and one half months, during which the pay of the executive office is claimed to have been $6O0O per annum instead of $45OO actually drawn by the in cumbent. Auditor Boyce has not approved the demand and will not un- til he has been instructed by the courts to do so.
 On all-fours with the governors claim is one by Attorney General Wiley E. Jones, who believes there is due him about s27O0 for the same period of employment, based upon raise of salary from s25OO to $40O0. But Jones has not yet filed his de- mand. His case is complicated by the fact that it might be considered

Queer Case for Campbell

An interesting side issue concerns the fact that for II months of the period for which added salary is claimed Governor Hunts place at the capitol was filled by Thomas E. Campbell, now governor again, possi- ply to be called upon to approve warrant for the pay of Hunt for in creased emolument for work that was done by Campbell himself. Hunt has received the regular pay for the time Campbell was in the chair, Campbell refused to ask for a dupli- cation of the pay to himself and partisan legislature, at the special 1918 summer session, killed a bill that sought to repay Campbell his costs, with pay added, though the appropriation had been recommended by Hunt.

once, instead of after the end of the current official term.

current official term.
 County supervisors generally have accepted the new law as effective at once and have been paying the increased emolument, even to half of the salaries of the superior judges charged directly upon them. All the county judges, save former judge Frank Smith of Yavapai county, are understood to have made demand up- on the the state auditor for the state part of their salaries. Several suits affecting the salary claims have been taken up to the state supreme court, which has decided in favor of claim ants in two instances and which now has on the calendar a suit affecting the pay of Judge F. B. Laine of Green lee county. This latter suit is be- lieved to cover nearly all the issues missed heretofore and by attorney general is claimed to be one that will decide whether he and Hunt are en- titled to the increases. But, accord ing to other lawyers, the judges occu- py somewhat different position, for the constitution provides only that their salaries may not be decreased during their terms of office. The document says nothing about in- creases. The Laine case can hardly be decided before March.
