PARENT-TEAcHERM MEET

On Monday evening the High
School Parent Teachers association
gathered for discussion of problems
and to enjoy a patriotic entertainment.
Supt C. E. Humphrey was the first
speaker and told of the benefits the
schools might derive from the asso-
citation in coming into closer touch
with the homes. He spoke OF the
great need of high moral atmos-
phere in the homes and OF the help
lessness of the schools to supply a
lack in moral backing. Bad habits toll.
Grated or encouraged at home are not
likely to be weeded out of the charac-
ter at school. He spoke OF the prev
alence of the cigarette habit among
school boys. This he said was hard
to regulate because of SO much indif-
ference on the subject at home. SUI
perintendent Humphreys talk was cut
short as he was leaving for Chicago to
attend the national association OF su-
.perintendents, but he gave interested
parents many thoughts to carry home
and get to work with in bringing
about better conditions in our high
school.
Mrs. Chas,. X. Meyers followed and
took up the subject from the view
point of the home. She spoke OF the
association as possible solution OF
many OF the home problems as well
as those OF the school. She brought
out some of the weak points in school
work and discipline. One point
brought out was that of crowding the
pupils with too long lessons taking
from them their rightful hours of rest
and recreation.
This argument was answered by
Miss PAUL, grade supervisor, when
she explained that the system of grad
ing with the letters P. M, G. H and p
provided for each pupil to set his own
pace, and SO if he were crowded It was
because he was setting too fast pace
for himself.
Another important subject touched
upon by Mrs. Meyers was that OF cor
poral punishment. Her theory is that
this should be kept out Of the province
Of the schools by being taken care OF
in the homes. The absolutely proper
attitude in the homes toward the
schools and toward good citizenship
would reduce the necessity for cor
Doral punishment down to nothing and
leave the teachers a clear field for
more important lessons.
The pupils of the grades gave, I'M I'M
der the direction of Miss Solinger
and Miss Brodersen, the beautifully
patriotic play which was given at the
high school on Washington's birthday.
The parents certainly appreciated
this courtesy on the part OF both the
teachers and pupils.

there must be watertight compart-
ment into which the sewage will be
run, and in which the solids will be
settled out and will be held for bac-
terial treatment by bacteria which live
and thrive in the absence of air.
Many people wrongfully believe that
liquid emerging from a septic tank is
already purified, but in reality it is
not. The work of bacteria which work
without air must be supplemented by
those which work in air. To accom-
plish this beds of sand or gravel are
formed over which the liquid from the
septic tank is run at intermittent in
tervals. In this manner the solution
is entirely broken up, and the bac-
terra are given a chance to work. For
such beds, under drains are usually
necessary to conduct the water, which
has now reached the bottom, to some
body of running water.

who are willing to take all the profits

BELGIUM EAGER TO
TRY HUN OFFICERS
WOULD PROSECUTE THE MUIR
pERERs OF CAPTAIN FRYATT
AND EDITH cAVEtL.
FAvORs TRYING INDIVIDUALS

Paris.-The Belgian delegation to
the peace conference informed the cor
respondent that Belgium had not been
officially requested by the council OF
four to bring the former German EN-
peror to trial and that the Belgian gov
eminent would feel obliged to take the
step, even If there were any request
for such action. The Belgian delegates
hold that any acton should be taken
by a commission representing all the
associated powers. The official Bel
gian view, 1t was said, is that the for
mer emperor cannot be arraigned for
declaring war or violating the neutral
ity of Belgium, or for any act proceed
Ing or coincident with the declaration
of war.
After pointing out that there is no
tribunal competent to hear such
charges against the former emperor,
and no provision of international law
covering such cases, the delegates said
that Belgium expects that persons
guilty of acts punishable under the
criminal codes of any Of the billigerent
powers should be placed on trial, as
the fact that theft, murder and other
crimes we're committed during war
does not relieve the criminals of re-
sponsibility.
"If the commission desires to ar
raign Gen. Baron Won Mantueffel for
the sacking of Louvain, Gen Won
Schroeder for the murder of Capt.
Fryatt, and Gen. Won Sauberzweig for
the execution OF Miss Edith Cavell all
the necessary documents will be forth
coming" said the general secretary OF
the delegation. "But Belgium does not
seek revenge. It wants only justice. II
would be small satisfaction to lock up
the kaiser for a few months In the
Saint Gill prison, and those who have
reported that such revenge has been
offered Belgium as solace for her
wrongs have sadly misunderstood the
Belgian character IL they thought 1t
would be acceptable.
1.-THE only case in which the person
al responsibility of the ex-emperor for
a criminal act committed In Belgium
could be established beyond doubt Is
In the atrocities attending the depor
tation OF civilians and compelling them
to do forced labor In Germany. In this
case his responsibility is unques'
toned"

Nashville.-Dr. f. NJ McRee OF
Union City was appointed by Gov. Rob-
erts as agricultural commissioner for
the state.
DR.. McRee is well known In agricul-
tural circles over the state. He is a
prosperous farmer of obion County,
and was for number of years presi-
dent OF the West Tennessee Farmers
Association.
He served In the lower house OF
the General Assembly for three terms
and in the Senate two terms. He owns
and operates one Of the finest farms

cultural pursuits.

the administration was strong enough
to see that these Institutions were
properly provided for.
One outstanding feature OF the ses,

feated the antipass bill in the House
over the protest Of the administration.
The workmen's compensation act as
adopted will serve as an opening
wedge for legislation OF this nature,
but leaves much to be desired. The
hill exempts both railroads and coal
miners from its operations.
The state constabulary bill, proTd.
ing that the governor will have the
authority to call out force OF 500
men to suppress mobs or other VIC.
fence in any part of the state, went
over in spite OF the opposition Of the
combined labor element In both
houses.
The governor failed in his plans to
consolidate many OF the state depart
ments, the only measure Of this kind
going over the top being that to unite
the mining department and that OF
factory and workshop inspection.
The road legislation adopted was OF
a half.baked order, hastily thrown TO-
gether after It was seen that the $780,
100000 bond issue for highways was
hopelessly lost The bill adopted Is
little more than q temporary make
shift, which will enable the state to
secure It's share Of federal aid In road

plan can be worked out.
