STATE TEACHERS TO
MEET ON JANUARY ID

The Tennessee State Teachers AS
ISOLATION will meet in NashvsAe on
January 18th. This meeting is in the
nature of a reorganization, the Asso-
citation having been inactive during
the period of the war. The reorgani-
cation of the State Association was
called for by the East Tennessee AS
sociation recently in session at Knox
vile, and has the endorsement of the
State Board of Education and the
State Superintendent of Public In
struction.
Superintendent Jesse Hardin of
Fayetteville, is President of the Asso-
citation and P. l.. Harmed of Clarks-
vile, is Secretary. Speakers of
national reputation appear on the
program, among this number being
the United States Commissioner of
Education, P. P. Claxton. A recep-
ton for the teachers will be held at
the Governors mansion.
Concerning the reorganization of
the Association State Superintendent
Albert Williams has made the follow
ing statement.
For two years, owing to condi-
ions brought ABOUT by the war, tne
State Teachers Association has been
inactive.
A reorganization and readjustment
of all the affairs of the world is now
imminent. In this readjustment the
vital Importance of the teaching pro-
fession cannot be overlooked. The
teachers of Tennessee feel that the
economic, social and religious deve-
lopment of the State and nation will
be measured largely by the efficiency
of the teacher, and the support given
public education by the eople. The
teachers do not place better salaries
and longer terms as the only ends ia
be attained, but they realize that in
order that strong men and women
may enter and remain in the profess
sion, it is necessary that they be
given a living wage. No one who
surveys the educational field can
doubt the loyalty of the teachers and
their unselfish devotion to the good
of humanity. They believe that it is
only necessary that the attention of
the public be called to the States
educational needs. and to this end the
State Teachers Association will di-
rect its efforts"

WERE CHRISTIANS AT NIGHT
Tribe of StavriIi in Trebizond Long
Practiced Deception on Their
Turk OVerIords.

Not far from TrebiZond Con the
Black Sea in Asia Minor) live the clan
of Stavrili, descendants of the Greeks
who kept a Greek kingdom in being
until after Constantinople had fallen.
writes George e. White in the Amer
lean Review of Reviews.
The Stavrili knew that they were of
Christian ancestry, but in some hour
of persecution their fathers had yield
ed assent to Islam. The same build
ings were said to serve as mosques
above ground and churches below; the
same men as imams by days and
priests by night; the same boys were
said to be circumcized and baptized;
and named both Osman and Constan-
tine.
A few years ago these Stavrili de-
termined to throw off the mask and
return to their Christian allegiance,
and they did so, though at the cost
OF much government pressure lasting
for years. With some of them | be-
came personally acquainted when
they were exiled from home. One day
a Stavrili met a Turkish friend, and
the latter remarked, II hear you've
turned Christian" The Greek an
swered that they had always known
that their ancestors were Christian
Orthodox and they had decided to
avow their original heritage. But"
said the Moslem, you've been to
mosque all these years, and we've said
our prayers side by side; how did yor
think you could deceive God all the
timer"
II never tried to deceive Cod" was
the answer "He always knew just
what l was. tried to deceive you, and
in that l succeeded"

BEAT WIVES IN GERMANY
Thrashings by Husbands Common
Among Middle and Upper Glasses.

Wife-beating is quite common among
the German middle and upper classes
and the law of Prussia sanctions it, &C.
cording to Henry de Halsalle, author
of a recent work on Germany.
Halsalle said he once stayed a few
days in the home of a Berlin merchant
and one evening he heard a woman
crying upstairs, followed by the sound
of blows. Upon asking his host the
cause of the commotion, the author
was informed that the woman had just
received her weekly thrashing, which
she got every Saturday night.

Payette enterprise. (Payette, Canyon Co., Idaho) 1909-1935, 1919-01-09

Do the people of Idaho want $780,,
coo worth of new roads next year at .
cost to this state of only half that
som? Idaho will receive more than
100000 a year for the next seven
years providing Idaho puts up an
equal amount for road work every II
months. Already more than $250,000
of this money has been put to this
states credit, but it cannot be touched
until Idaho raises an equal sum. The
state has reached its limit of bonded
indebtedness, and the only course left
open is for the legislature to provide
for special highway tax.
