Nashville. THE lack of educational
facilities and properly trained teach
ers for elementary schools in the ru-
ial districts is playing a great part in
the decrease shown in census figures
for the rural communities and the ag.
ricultural countless" said Prof. F. F.
Claxton OF Washington, commissioner
Of education for the United States,
who was a visitor here.
"The salary for teachers has felt
the advances along other lines, and
salaries have been raised one to 100
per cent in the various communities of
the country. This Is due to the need
for competent teachers and to induce
them to accept places in elementary
schools, high schools and colleges. 1t
is known fact that about $4,000 ele-
mentary schools of this country did not
open last year on account of the short
age OF teachers and this has had its
effect on the Improvement of educa.
ton.
IF all the persons graduated in the
normal and teacher training courses
In the normals and colleges of this
country since the first normal was es-
tablished In 1885 were now alive they
would prove inadequate to supply the
teacher demand at this time. There is
now need of 10000 new teachers,
100000 being for elementary schools
and 10000 for high schools, and to
meet this demand the normal schools
If the country last year graduated
bout 10000 and other universities TO-
900, making total OF 10000 trained
teachers graduated last year. This
leaves a vacancy of about 10000 teach
ers to be filled from unframed sources"

And this cabinet member was going
to retire, and the retiring meant a
GOod deal more than appeared on the
surface. Mr.. Bryan had secured the
nomination of President Wilson at
the Baltimore convention. Nobody
disputes it. The facts go to prove
it.
Mr.. Bryan was sent by Nebraska
Democrats to nominate Champ Clark
and Mr. Bryan did sidetrack~ the
Clark encourage, and Mr.. Bryan was
the engineer that carried the Wilson
train to it's destination. 1 did not
approve of the DETECTION of Mr., Bry-
an. I thought there was personal
ambition at the bottom of it. So
thought, when he was made the pre-
mier of the Wilson cabinet forces in
1913, as secretary of state. But when
he came into that reception room
and said only a few words, 1 veered
around again. [ then thought and I
think now that the resignation gave
pain to his heart but he considered
his conscience and his principles. I
saw more of sterling character that
day than L had ever seen before 1t
took a man of courage to do it.
Now, again, Mr.. Bryan is on the
front bench and being listened to, by
multitudes of American people.
Some people are cartooning him
mercilessly. Sometimes cartoons are
like bitter medicine, which is needed
to heal the body polite. These jeers
or sneers will do something not in
tended. 1t will make people say
Maybe Bryan is right" When peo-
pie begin to think then something is
bound to happen.
To have been defeated three times
for the presidency was a remarkable
happening. Hon. Mr.. Taft went into
the White House with so much ease
that Georgia gave him a remarkable
vote, considering. L do not suppose
eX-President Taft could now be elect
ed to congress if he tried. With all
the administration forces at his back,
with unlimited campaign money
he could carry only two ms. grificant
states, for reelection.
But the great defeated W. J. Bry-
an. seems to have as many political
lives as a cat-that is said to resur-
rect itself nine times, handwriting.
He may overtask himself and cut
himself down in health-but he will
be reckoned with during this new
year, 1920. He might have made
very commonplace president, if he
could have been elected even one
time. Nevertheless. he is an exceed
lngly remarkable parsonage, when he
comes up smiling, and can hold the

possession of a love potion which
the opulent Julia has had pressed
in the belief that it will bring to
her the much-desired Glaucus. Ir
reality the potion is a poison which
will drive the unfortunate drinker
mad. It is designed by the sinister
Egyptian Arbaces to clear his path
to lone from his rival Glaucus. In
his raving, Glaucus comes upon Ar
baces just as the latter has killed
Ione's brother Apaecides, a young
priest Of Isis, who, much to the an
noyance of Arbaces, has embraced
the new Christian faith. Arbaces
throws the guilt upon poor Glaucus
with apparent success. But the
priest Calenus was q hidden witness
with the final result shown in the
great episode eof the book. AS the
crowd in the circus turned their eyes
toward Vesuvius, they beheld "a fire
that shifted and Wavered in it's hues
with every moment, now fiercely lu-
1ninous, now of a dull and dying
red, that again blazed terrifically
forth with intolerable glare. Then
threre arose on high the universal
shrieks of women; the men stared
at each other, but were dumb. At
that moment they felt the earth
shake beneath their feet; the walls
of the theater trembled, and be-
yond in the distance they heard the
crash of falling roofs; an instant
more and the mountain-cloud seem
ed to roll toward them, dark and
rapid, like a torrent; at the same
time it cast forth from it's bosom
a shower of ashes, mixed with vast
fragments of burning stone! Over
the crushing vines, over the deso-
late streets, over the ampitheater
itself, far and wide, with many. a
mighty splash in the agitatcd sea,
fell that awful shower! No longer
thought the crowd of justice or of
E1baces: safety for themselves was
their sole thought. Each turned to
fly-each dashing, pressing, crush
ing, against the other"
1t was save himself who could in
that night of horrors. OF the many
episodes seen in the flashes of light
was that of blind Nydia, guiding
Glaucus to lone, and then leading
both to safety, she the only one az
home in the darkness in which she
had always lived. And then, when
they had gained ship and put to
sea and all but Nydia had fallen into
exhausted slumber, "May the gods
bless you, Athenianr" she murmur-
Cd, may you be happy with your
beloved one; may you sometimes re-
member Nydia."
A sailor, half doing on the deck,
heard a slight splash on the wa
tiers. Drowsily he looked up, and
believed, as the vessel merrily
bounded on, he fancied, he saw
something white above the waves
