TAZEWELL COUNTY'S TEACH
ERS MEETING.

The Tazewell County Teachers
Association conveyed at Tazewell, Va
Sept. IL for a two-day's program.
An unusually large number oil un-
usually good-loolung teachers was
in attendance. Many questions very
pertinent to the schools at this par
ticular time were discussed. Special
emphasis was placed on physical ed
ucation and health work, and on
plans for securing the approval of
the voters at the November election
of the three proposed amendments
to the State Constitution.
At the morning session on Friday
Mr.. Long, representative of the State
Department of Education, explained
the three amendments very thorough
ly and urged all teachers to give
them their most active support by
registering in time to vote for them
and by explaining them to others.
He brought out very forcefully the
fact that the one paramount need of
the public schools. And that the only
money-in order that better salaries
may be paid teachers, who in turn
will be enabled to prepare themselves
for better service to the children of
the publis schools. And that the only
possible way this can be effected is
by ratifying the second Amendment
in November.
During the same session Mrs. Nc
Combs, representing the State De
partment of Health, gave a very
helpful address on what the Teach
er May do to Safeguard The Health
of the Children" Then Miss Lam
bert, the County Red Cross Nurse,
presented her plans for work among
the schools for the winter.
At the afternoon session Supt. A.
S. Greever presided over a general
Faculty Meeting" for all the teach
era and succeeded in getting a lot OF
necessary information before them
This meeting was followed by group
meetings.
The speaker for the Friday night
session failed to appear; so Rev. c.
R. Brown very ably filled part Of
this time by giving the association q
short but very inspiring talk. Fol
lowing this, several short talks were
made on the subject of school leagues
by different teachers.
Saturday morning DIR. Jno. NJ
Grove delivered splendid address
to the association, which was highly
appreciated by all present. At the
business session which followed, Of
ticers of the association for the com.
ing year were elected as follows;
President, Mr.. R. w. Bobbitt, Sec.
retary and Treasurer, Miss M. Louise

YES, WE HAVE HEARD 1T.

Heard what? Why, thnt tho w.
G. T.. U. is electioneering against
one Of the candidates for tho Pros
idcncy, on the ground that he Ia
"wet," and that tho influence Of tho
Union will be thrown against him.
This rumor has gotten aflont by
some means in the town. So fur as
inquiry has gone it can be positively
stated that this rumor Is utter un-
founded and untrue.
The women OF tho w. G. Il. u,
have too much sense to permit tho
organization to become political
club. The union has in it's member
ship women Of both political faiths.
AS citizens, they will vote as they

absolutely no foundation in fact for

AUTOMOBILES VERSUS CHILD
REM

In the Potomoc Division Bulletin
for September is the following argu-
ment for the examination of school
children:
"Before starting out on "a long
journey, the careful automobilist
makes certain that his machine is in
perfect condition for the trip. Even
starting with perfect machine, q
long trip is likely to bring out or
develop unsupported defects
Gust as logical as the careful in
spection and repair of an automo-
bile preparatory to n trip is the ex-
animation and treatment of the de-
fects of child before starting school
each year.
"a parent or guardian of a school
child needs to be certain that child
can see well, that he hears well, that
his teeth are good, and that he is
free from defects which will inter
fere with his health and school prog
ress."
Red Cross Chapters are meeting
with such remarkable response in
their Child Welfare conferences and
clinics and are learning the impor-
tance of these early examinations.
Recently little girl was brought to
one of these conferences by a nurse
who had noticed her undernourishcd
appearance. A very serious heart
condition was discovered in this child.
Such instances are recurring time
after time
How many garages has your COM
munity for the repair of automo-
biles? How many clinics for the care
of it's children?
