County Institute
Now in Session,

This morning In the auditorium tn
Greene County Teachers Institut,
was opened with a splendid attend
ance, and the following program wa
carried out:
| Devotional exercises were conduct
ed by Dir. Gentry.
/ DIR, Gray, of Tusculum College, wa
first heard in few but timely and in
teresting Introductory remarks. HI,
believes that only education and tn,
church will bring US to new anC
better day--a work that can only BIZ
done by the teachers and preachers o.
the land. The teacher who is grea
is the teacher who serves, and this h,
must remember if he is to be sue
cess in his work.
In the absence of DR.. Yost, DR.
Ely, pastor Of the M. E. Church
South, spoke on the subject of MAN,
Making" DR. Ely used as the mean.
ing of this title-character building
and, as usual, was interesting in his
DISCOURSE especially in his rendition
of Kipling's "If." True friends OF
education were pleased with the ap.
peal which he made for the study OF
tn classics. 1t is really true that II
will be sad day for the schools when
the study Of the classics Il LIT out,
because children mus be trained in
the appreciation of the beautiful, and
this win be done to 4 great extent
through them. d Ely especially en-
phasized an appeal for The moral de-
velopment Of the child; said that the
teacher must want to make men; that
ne must know what man is; must CO.
operate with all other agencies in this
work; and, if he expects to make men
he must be a man himself. Person
atty is the gr; atest teacher in the
world and the teacher must set the
example.
Prof, A. W. Willoughby next gave
plans and suggestions for "Waging
Drive 60 Eliminate llliteracy from
Greene County" His first sugges-
ton was to "ro!! up sleeves and
plunge in" and use all common sense,
practical judgment and psychology at
command.
Singing of "The Church In the
Wildwood"
DR., Gentry, president of Carson
and Newman College and one of the
leading educators in East Tennessee,
delivered wonderful address. DR..
Gentry suggested and urged that
young people of at least High School
education complete professional
raining before beginning to teach.
re thinks the school proposition in
~ sa Il the greatest one with
ich she has to deal; because devel-
)pm1i Of "blue ribbon" manhood |
and womanhood are absolutely nee
3ssary for greater and better Amer
lea. As a means for lettering the
school situation, Dr. Gentry, after
careful thought into the matter, be-
lieves that more men ought to enter
the teaching profession, and in the
course of his remarks proved that he
was correct.
After announcements by Supt |
Pierce, the Institute was adjourned |
Until one o'clock.
The program this morning was a
rare treat to those who had the pleas
IRE of hearing it, and for the remain
Ter of the week it promises to be
equally attractive. All friends of
and the public in general
ire given hearty invitation to be in
attendance.
