beloved BANKER
DIESsAT STAMFORD
William M. Bright Was Guiding
Star Of Lincoln County Ma
ticnal Bank Many Years

Relatives and friends here were
greatly saddened Tuesday morn
ing to learn of the death of VIM.
NJ. Bright, which occurred at his
home at Stanford at eight o'clock
tuesday morning They were
IN measure prepared for the
shock, however, for he had lust
been brought home from the
Mayo sanitarium where he had
been undergoing treatment for
over month, and practically no
hope was held OUT for his recovG
cry. He had been victim of
Jaundfce and complication of
troubles for some time. He was
oz years of age, a native of Lin
coin county and a member Of
one OF the most prominent fami-
lies in that section of the state.
He attended old Central Uni
verslty in Richmond, as classmate
of a number of prominent men
here today and was highly
esteemed by all. Since a young
man he had been connected with
the Lincoln County National
Bank, of Stanford, and since 1904
had been its cashier, succeeding
the late DR.. ]. B. Owsley. Dur
ing that time the bank had grown
and prOSpered under his guiding
hand to a remarkable degree. 1t
has been the apple of his eye.
He cherished it and loved it and
it became known as one of the
very. best country banks in the
south. 1t almost seems an irony
of fate that he should be taken
at this time for the bank that he
had given his life to, is just COM
pleting handsome new home
that is model in every way.
Mr.. Bright had long planned it
and worked for it. 1t is fitted
with marble and mahogany but
others will enjoy the work that
he, had builded and which was so
dear to his heart.
But it was not only in banking
circles that he was known. He
had a part in every good work.
He was pillar in the First Chris
tian church of Stanford. He
owned several handsome farms
and was a progressive business
man in all that the word implies.
He was trusted and beloved by
thousands and yet withal was
quiet and unassuming, content to
go his way, modestly and quietly,
yet a power for good in every
way in the community, the up
building of which he had SO
great a part for over a. score of
years He will be sadly missed.
Mrs. Bright, who was Miss
Lulu Mckinney and two sons,
Morrison and Thomas Bright,
survive. The deceased was a son
of the late John Bright, the fa-
nous surveyor of Lincoln coun-
ty in his earlier days.

/. In the afternoon DIR. Morrison
spoke on the crest" which comes

into the kingdom.
A very profitable after service

-. -
your school teachers actually
laid down on the job" and left
their schools for reasons better
known to themselves.
However, you have some splen-
did teachers who have taught ex-
cellent schools. | believe that
can safely state that three
fourths of our schools have been
IA success, while the remaining
fourth are absolutely failures.
Your High Schools are in fair
ly good condition.
The communities in which they
are located are highly pleased.
Your Junior High Schools are
doing good work. However,
there is one exception, (the
Kingston SchooD which under
the law, has ceased to be up to
the standard, there being no
High School pupils 1t should be
classed with other two-room
schools, until it has pupils in the
higher grades.
Prof. Frost, of the George Pea
body School, and | visited the
schools and made a test in arith-
metic, reading and language; the
result of which showed conclu-
sively that all Our schools are
weak in language and arithmetic.
These branches are fundamental,
and should receive more atten-
ton.
Owing to the young and mex
perienced teachers, by whom
many of the schools are taught it
is important that you keep con-
stantly some one in the field
working.
The tendency of the day is to-
ward consolidation whenever
practicable This is being done
all over the state.
| suggest the following for
your consideration:
Red House and Black or Do
zier schools be united and two
room house erected.
Blot Knob and Narrow Gap.
Berea and Middletown, (color-
ed).
Valley View and Miller.
Wallaceton and Estridge.
Valley View colored school
should be discontinued and put III
some other district.
Having studied the conditions
of our schools closely, | am fore
ed to this conclusion.
The County Board may build
better houses, and supplement the
salaries of teachers, and do all in
their power, but unless the local
communities take more interest
and are more careful in selecting
teachers, your work will be in
vain.
LII NOllSllSlO1l dllOW lllC " SuS-
gest a few important questions
which should be asked every ap-
plicant before deciding upon her
as teacher:
|. How many pupils were en-
rolled in your last school?
2. What was your daily aver
age?
8 Have you been solicited to
teach again in the same school?
4. Have you had any Normal
training?
5. Did you quit your school
before it was out?
6. Do you expect to follow
teaching as a profession?
The answer to the above ques-
tions will enable you to judge the
teacher.

courtesy accorded me while in

Coach Move put his leather tossers
through a 15-minute scrimmage Mon
day night at the Coliseum as the be-
ginning of hard weeks work before
the opening game of the season with
Antioch, Friday night The remainder
of the time was spent in goal shooting
and passing.
Various combinations were tried by
Move during the scrimmage, as it is
his intention to give as many men as
possible a chance in Friday nights
game. The best scoring machine
seemed to consist of Captain Lawler
and Hall forwards, Carey center and
Johnson and Beck guards. Lawler and
Hall gave promise Of an early return
to their old-time speed. In Russell
Hadley and Jean Goar, Move has two
on to perform credibly. Beasley,
football man who ha been laid up with
an injured wrist, was out for practice

wealth OF MATERIAL
MAKES CUT DIFFICULT
FOR Mentor AT HIGH

Cuts in an unwieldy squad probably
will be made by Coach Null Of the
high school Tuesday or Wedr esday OF
this week. The cramped quarters of
the high school gymnasium make
squad of 80, which is turning out daily
for the net grind, too large for special
attention to individuals.
Monday evening Coach Null put his
men through their PAGES in dribbIins
and scrimmage. 1t was one of the best
workouts that the locals have held
this season and from the speed dis
played 1t looks as if the Red and White
would be represented by a better team
than was at first predicted.
Every man out for place seems to
have some qualification to recommend
him and this has made the task OF cut
ting the squad a very difficult one for
the high mentor.
Light Team.
This years team from the high
school will be rather light. probably
the smallest team that has ever rep
resented Richmond on the floor, but
there seems to be little doubt but that
it will be a better aggregation than
last season.
Two weeks remain before the open
ing game with Knightstown on the Col
iseum floor. During this time some
intensive work will have to be done
by the high school. Their passing is
good and with little more time to
develop team work they will be worthy
the best support that can be given
them by the school
Indications are that the team will
be made up Of Harkins and Amick, for
wards, Green, center, Rost and Lob
man guards. Brehm, Walls, Quigg,
Crafts and Gaylor are composing the
scrub five.
