Wants School Recognized.
Chancellor Samuel Avery Of the
University of Nebraska, who is at
tending the Nebraska State Teach
ers' association convention, says he
is DESTROYS that the university, which
is now recognized as a constitutional
organization, be recognized in the
new constitution in way that will
react for good upon that institution
and the people Of the state.
"The fact that the university was
recognized as al indivisible institu-
ton by the constitution of 1875 and
therefore not subject to the 1egis-
lative troubles that have existed in
some of our sister states has been
great factor in its continuous prog
ress," he said.
Legislatures have always been
very good to tile university, in the
opinion of Chancellor Avery, but he
also declares that the fact that the
university is a constitutional organ
ization has had stabilizing effect
which has resulted in good for the
institution and the people of Nc
braska.

Division Not Necessary.
II am happy to see what Omaha
has done for her schools in voting
the bond issue," said George l.
Towne, editor of 'Thc Nebraska
Teacher" in Omaha for the State
Teachers association. Asked about
the question of dividing the one big
general state meeting into district
meetings, he replied: ut is real
organization we need, not division.
The big question is not one of To-
cation, but of organization. Every
teacher in this state ought to be-
long to the association. A mob
can't function but a large body OF
people can work effectively if they
are represented in some definite
way"
Great Convention City.
Omaha is great convention city,
came from w. K. Fowler in his
quick, alert manner. Mr.. Fowler was
formerly state superintendent Of
public instruction in Nebraska and
is now associate editor of "The Ne
braska Teacher" II am delighted
that the Omaha school bonds car
ried. Other cities and towns are do
ing about the same in proportion
Lincoln gave $2,000,000 last June;
Norfolk has recently voted $450,000
Winnebago $4,000, and rural
school in Burt county, $4,000. In
other words the people are loosen
ing their purse strings and doing
better by their teachers and build
ings and they must do still more" "
Need Parent Help.
Jeanette c. Nelson, superintendent
of Lancaster county, thinks the pro-
gram of the state meeting will meet
the needs of rural teachers. There
is a crying need for parent-teachers'
associations, greater interest on
the part Of patrons in the schools,
closer cooperation between school
and home" according to Miss Nell
son.
"The state spelling contest will be

Model Community Plans.
w. H. Clemmons, state superin-
tendent of schools, brought set
of plans of model community
schools to the convention and has
these on exhibition in his room.
There are models of schools with
one, two, three, four and six rooms
each. These are offered to any dis
trict in the state which, taking ad-
vantage of the redistricting law,
decides to build community
school. These schools will take the
place of the old one-room school
house for the children of a small
area. Children will be taken to and
from school in carryalls.
"The first of these community
schools in the state is nearly COM
pleted at Holmesvil1e, Gage county,
and / expect to dedicate it within
a week or two" said Prof. Glenn

POLYTECHNIC

ATTENDANCE THIS YEAR IN EX-
CESS OF THAT AT SANE TIME
LAST YEAR
WORK OF LOCAL SCHOOL is AT
tracing TENTION IN
OTHER TOWNS

The enrolment in tie Maryville
Polytechnic school is larger this year
than at this date last year. The
school begins the year under most
favorable circumstances and with an
excellent faculty. During the sum-
mer the buildings were put in repair,
and every building has complete
water and sewer system throughout.
The work of the Maryville Poly
technic school is attracting attention
in other live towns in Tennessee and
other states. Only few days ago,
it was learned through a member of
the commercial organization in live
East Tenne -see town, that the busi-
ness men of that town had watched
the growth of the Maryville Polytech-
mic school, and tenders were made
to Prof. Henry asking that he estab-
lish similar institution in that town.
Like reports have come from other
states where educational leaders have
observed the splendid work of the
local Polytechnic school.
Prof. G. W. Henry, principal of the
school, has worked hard to give to
this county and section a Polytechnic
school of unexcelled efficiency, and
in this he has been most successful.
His work is appreciated by the peo-
pie of the town and county as is
shown by the splendid support given
the school, but it should be gratify-
ing to know that the school is attract
ing attention of educators and busi-
ness men elsewhere,

TWO MEMORIALS
TO BE ERECTED

At meeting of representatives of
the memorial committee, relatives of
soldiers who were slain in France and
of the various women's clubs of the
town, held Monday afternoon, it was
decided that Blount county should
erect two memorials to her soldiers,
one a monument to those who gave
their lives, and a hospital to those
who served in the war and who were
returned home safely. The canvass
for funds is to be made simultaneous
ly. This plan is that agreed upon a
former meeting held at the court
house, and seems to have the endorse
ment of those favoring monument
as we'll as those favoring the hospital.
The drive is progressing well and
the amount desired will be subscribed
this week, it is thought.

MONUMENT IS
THEIR CHOICE
RELATIVES OF MEN WHO GAVE
LIVES IN WAR DO NOT WANT
HOSPITAL FOR DEAD.
URGE THAT MEMORIAL FEA-
TURE IN MEMORY OF SLAIN
ELIMINATED FROM BUILDING.

Relatives of Blount county soldiers
and sailors who gave their lives in the
recent war, favor the erection of a
shaft or monument as memorial to
their memory, rather than hospital,
and petition to this effect has been
signed by members of all the families
having lost. relatives, to whom it has
been presented. These relatives do
not oppose the erection of a hospital
but they do not want hospital erect
ed as a memorial to their sons, hus-
bands and brothers. Some who
favor the monument or shaft and op-
pose the hospital as memorial, say
they will contribute literally to the
erection of hospital, but not as a
memorial hospital.
The petition of fathers, mothers,
brothers and sisters of deceased SOL
diers and sailors, follows:
We, the fathers, mothers, sisters
and brothers who had sons, brothers,
and husbands in France who fell
fighting for liberty of the world, and
who are now buried on French soil,
desire to say to the good people of
Blount county, that our feelings and
wishes are that a stone monument be
erected on the court house grounds
IF Blount county in memory of our
sacred dead.
We feel that this is the only ap-
propriate monument to the memory
Of our dead. Since people desire to
place monuments over the graves of
the loved ones they are built out of
store and placed in the cemetery, we
feel that there is no other monument
80 appropriate and sacred as a stone
monument would be.
It would be some solace to our
broken hearts and would carry down
the names of our brave boys to the
end of time as no other monument in
our opinion could or would be.
We have no objections whatever to
the county or people erecting hos
pital and think it should be done, but
it is not our wishes that it be done as
a memorial to our sacred dead.

SENIOR B. Y. P. u. SOCIAL
GIVEN IN HONOR OF MISS
WILLIE BELLE DANIEL

On Thursday evening, Sept. a, 1919
members of the Senior B. Y. P. U.
gathered at the Baptist church to
give Miss Willie Belle Daniel, presi-
dent of a Texas B. Y. P. U. a good
time social. At p. m. the company
of about As Or so, including Brother
Smith and several other married folks
as chaperons, loaded into several cars
and two trucks, and drove to Davis
Ford on the Sevierville Pike. After
arriving at the river and unloading,
the young folks Joined in disturbing
the slumbers of the rumbling stream
by throwing stones into it. This they
seemed to enjoy very much. Twas
most beautiful day and everyone
was in an ecstasy of fdelight---it was
50 refreshing TO be out ia the country
Of pure air and bright sunshine. and
everything around was still clothed in
green. One by one and some times
two by two, mostly two by two, the
party crossed over the river by the
swinging bridge and passed into the
grassy level field where games were
played until sunset. Then came time
for eats-and oh! hum! smack! the
girls had feast prepared that would
have done justice to any Kings table
and we boys thought that we were
Kings, too. Then we were served
with ice cream by the boys.
After the eats disappeared, twilight
Ger hung and we crossed back to the
other side of the river. The cars
were arranged so as to throw their
lights into a clear space where all as
sembled. AS the moon beamed it's
rays of mellow light upon us making
everything beautiful in a finishing
shade, short play entitled "Why We
Never Married" was given by seven
girls and seven boys. Altho, these
seven boys and seven girls had been
long minated, they accepted each
other in word if not in deed.
Mr.. Eugene Williams. Toast Master
of the occasion, called upon Mr..
French Johnson to give toast to the
honoree, Miss Daniel, to which "Bil-
lie' replied in a manner that touched
our hearts and made us cheer her in
Is Hurrahs. NEXT Eugene called on
"Tidd" miss Gaynell Griffitts) for a
good night Toast-to which "Tid" re-
sponded so enthusiastically and so
elaborately that her speech will ever
live in our memory. Then after
everyone reported good jolly time"
it was "Home again"
We were sorry indeed to see Miss
Daniel leave. She has been present
with the B. Y. P. U. nearly all this
summer and went with the Maryville
delegates to the B. Y. P. U. encamp-
ment held at Chilhowee Institute
July 21-25. We all wish her success
in her school and life work and hope
that some time we may all be present
together again.

PULVERIZER WITHIN
REACH OF FARMER

Maryville has a new industry that
should appeal to the farmers of the
county. That is the new pulverizer
that Is being manufactured in Mary
vile by j. G. Tarvin. This pulver-
izer cpsts. about half as much as other
pulyeEiysrs which DO not have a
iafgert capacity than This. Mr.. Tarvin
has been in the pulverizer business
for twenty years and knows what the
farmers need, and in this pulverizer
he has made the best he has ever set
up. With a fifteen horse power
engine, and rock prepared so they
will pass through the hopper opening,
it is guaranteed that this machine
will grind 80 tons in ten hours, if the
rock is fed to it. With an horse
power engine it will grind IL to fif-
teen tons. Several of these machines
have already been placed in the
county, and one Of them in a com
munity means more limestone on the
soil at smallest cost per ton.

COLLEGE HAS
sos STUDENTS
LARGEST NUMBER EVER EN-
ROLLED AT ONE TIME IN
MARYVILLE INSTITUTION
ADDITIONAL TEACHERS ARE
EMPLOYED TO TAKE CARE OF
LARGE ENROLMENT

Tuesday sos students had entered
Maryville college for the term. This
is the largest number of students ever
enrolled at one time in Maryville col
lege, and is also the largest enroll
ment ever made in one year up to
last year. The registration shows
about four girls to three boys. In
order to care for the increased en-
rollment, extra teachers have been
employed, and in some instances
teachers are conducting extra classes,
thus none of the classes are over
crowded and better work is done.
An encouraging feature of the en-
rollment is the fact that of this num-
Der who have matriculated, 1853 are
in the college department. Fresh
men and regulars, total 244.
The new century of the colleges
work is starting out most auspicious-
ly, and the need for additional dorni-
tory room on the hill is imperative.
