BRAIN AGAINST BRAWN.

of the beasts and is responsible for all
the wonders Of our civilization, how
can you prove that all good things of
this earth belong to those who work
only with their hands?"

The man who works merely with his
hands, making little use of his brain
is little better than machine. 1t is
the states duty to see to it that the
number of such men in this country

is of course easy for our parlor Boil
shevists to claim that the people with
brains get more than their share of

Teachers can do much to strengthen
the school system of county. 1t is
absolutely necessary that teachers CO.
operate with the school board and the
county superintendent in order that
there may be a greater unity of action
of the teachers and school board anu
in the end greater results attained.
1t is necessary that teachers attend
the monthly Institutes in order that
they may get acquainted with each
other and exchange ideas, end get in
formation and inspiration from the
lectures and speeches which they hear.
There must be progress in the
schools Of Morgan county. The school
board and the superintendent are de-
termined that there viii! be progress
and teachers who will not cooperate
in order that we may progress are not
needed in the schools. Live teachers
are always ready to do anything in
their power to make things better;
they attend teachers meetings, are on
the lookout for anything which will
make their work more efficient and
profitable to the people whom they
serve. Such teachers are needed and
are wanted, and they demand the best
salaries, and will get the preferred
places.
We do not need teachers in Morgan
county who are only time servers, or
work for their salaries and nothing
more. Such teachers are short lived
and will soon die. Dead teachers are
useless. They are like dead people:
they are put out Of the way. If we
have such teachers in Morgan county
they may read the handwriting on the
wall. They have one or two roads tc
follow, the one that leads to progress
and usefulness, or the one to oblivion.
Teachers of Morgan county, which
shall it be?
The teachers meeting recently held
at Wartburg was great success. The
teachers who attended derived great
benefit from the meeting; those who
did not attend missed much. The
board desires that all teachers in the
county attend. The law gives them
the power to enforce attendance, but
they are reluctant to invoke this
power. 1t is in their power to recon-
mend the revocation of certificates of
teachers who refuse to attend teach
ers' meetings called by the superin-
tendent. There will be a close record
kept of the teachers who attend these
and of those who do not
attend
The next teachers meeting will be
held at Wartburg on Nov. %, and al!
teachers of the county are required to
attend. We shall ask the board to
allow one days pay for attending the
meeting.
The East Tennessee Teachers As
sociation will held its annual conven- |
ton at Knoxville Oct. 80, 81 and Nov. !

ers one days pay, namely, Oct. 81 /
that they may attend this meeting. |

On Some Friendships of Charles Dickens

BY him entitled Tim Linkinwater, which
was privately printed in a thin volume
of Simple Settings IN Verse, from Nv
Dicke,s's Gallery, issued by Tieknor &
Fields at Christmas, 1854 We quote the
concluding stanzas:
God bless him, Tim! for all the good his
gray goose quill has wrought,
For all the lessons, grave and gay, his
genial lips have taught;
For all the light his sunny face has shed
DER lonely hours;
For all the rugged paths his hands have
scattered Ger with flowers:
For all the bonds of human love his cum
ming skill has knit,
In mingled links of dark and bright, Of
wisdom and of wit;
For every generous impulse, for every
pure desire,
His torch has kndled in our hearts with
its Promethean fire:
For the thousand Christmas fires, lit up
in cottage and in hall;
For the merry Christmas meetings that
have gathered at his call;
For the children made so happy, in the
homes of many lands,
Who run TO meet him when he comes
and clap their little hands.
All blessings and all good be his--peace,
health and length of days!
A life filed up with noble work, and
graeed with grateful praise;
And by and by to cheer his age and
crown his silver hair,
His sons all brave and manly men, his
daughters good and fair;
And children's children on his knee, and
round his elbow chair

Few critics nowadays find it possible
to write anything about Dickens without
trying to determine whether or not he
was as great as Thaekeray, in what his
greatness consists and whether he is as
popular as he used to be- We feel quite
content in the conviction that there is no
difficulty in enjoying both Dickens and
Thackeray; that Dickens was unquestion-
ably great as humorist; and that he
retains sufficient popularity to satisfy the
most ardent admirers of his genius. All
such will find much satisfaction and con-
siderable novelty in Mr.. Legs book.
