MARION COUNTY
TEACHERS MEET
Interesting Session Held At
Jasper Saturday. 80 Next
One At SO. Pittsburg

The teachers of Marion County
held their regular monthly meet.
ing in the High School auditorium
at Jasper Saturday. The attend.
ance was good. but not as large
as at previous meetings, owing
to a number of the schools clos.
ing and the teachers being other
wise engaged.
The meeting was conducted
by Prof. D. A. Tate. county sup
erintendent, who impressed q
person as having the interests Of
the county schools thoroughly at
heart. He emphasized the nec-
essity of protecting the property
Of the schools and urged the
teachers to be more careful in
the future in doing so. He re.
commended that the teachers
have their pupils take part in the
National Essay contest. in
which the children of the coun-
try are offered free trips to
Washington with their parents
for the best essays on the advan-
tage to be derived from enlistment
in the army.
The program published in the
News recently was given under
direction of Bill Tate, son of Prof.
Tate, who is chairman Of the or
ganization. The hymn, Come,
Thou Almighty King" was sung
by the assembly. Devotional
exercises were conducted by Rev.
Stewart. of the Cumberland
Presbyterian Church, So. Pitts
burg, who readl from the 10th
Psalm, and made short ad-
dress from the words of Solomon,
Where there is no vision, a
people perish, closing with pray

Minutes of preceding meet
ing were read by the secretary,
Miss May Lasater. and adopted.
Prof. Tate spoke on the value of

giving some of his own ideas
for the physical development of

ers to do all in their power to send
their pupils forth from under

same lines, and Prof. Dixon, of

the same train of thought.
Miss Nell Leland, teacher in

lightful solo. Pm Lonesome for

ed that an encore was demanded,
for which she sang, WEo

led by her brother, piano, and

numbers were excellent. Ad-
dresses by members of the
school board were called for, Mr..

ing.
Miss Thirza Taylor, teacher in
the Whitwell school, gave beau
tiful violin solo, THE Shepherd
Boy, accompanied by JoeLeland,
piano, and was followed by Miss
Jennie Harris, who has been a
successful teacher of the prim-
ary pupils in the Sequatchie
school for a number of years,
who gave some of her ideas as to
how the small children should be
taught.
The debate, Resolved that
tennessee should levy a school
tax sufficient to run all the
schools of the state, both NUM-
cipal and county, nine months
in the year"was next on program
and Bill Tate, first speaker on the
affirmative, gave an excellent
address. He is chip off the
old block, " as the saying is. ard
like his father puts vim and en-
thusiasm into all he attempts to
do, AS the other speakers were
either absent or declined to take
part, Prof. Tate attempted to
take the negative sside of the
but he was obviously so much in
favor of the affirmative that his
argument was principally on that
side, and the question was dis
missed without further discNs-
sion. ~
Awarding pay cheques was
next in order and seemed an in
tensely interesting event to the
teachers present.
The next teachers meeting
will be held at So. Pittsburg,

FAMOUS JASPER
S. S. CLASS
How Its Memory Reigns In
The Hearts of Members,
Past and Present.

Editor News:
In your last week s issue read
a letter from your optimistic cor
respondent, Lone STAR" which
calls me back through memory's
channels a few decades. This
Texas Quill Pusher," Is veri.
table apostle Of sunshine and hap
py effusions. His spicy articles.
though from a far distant state,
are always interesting and are
read by q large circle of people.
He could not we'll be otherwise
than philosopher of happiness
and sunshine, for whoever saw a
bald-headed man that was Of a
morose temperament. Ever since
we could we'll remember this
gentleman Of East Tennessee
birth has been devoid a hair suit
on his top-piece.
In reply to his reference in his
recent article to Class No. 13 Of
the C. P. Church. at Jasper, |
will now turn my attention.
Will say for his pleasure and in
formation that old No. 13 is still
alive and loved and revered by
its members. To Lone Star"
we will say, there are four boys
yet in the class that were class
mates of his when he was a resi-
dent of Jasper. | say boys, 4"
for these men are still young in
spirit. They are W. J. J. Hoge,
R. H. Price, E. Harmed and G.
W. Brewer. The class is con
Quoted and most ably instructed
by Prof. T. A. Hackworth, of
our high school here. Lone
Star" makes reference to the
founder of this class, Mr.. S. B.
Deakins, whose love of church
and SUNDAY school work is known
to many. 1t is beyond the power
of this humble writer to inscribe
a hitting tribute in the way of a
eulogy to this grand old man who
years ago passed to his reward.
Suffice it to say, the fruits of
his love, labors and influence are
still dominant in the Sunday
school here today. One befitting
structure to his memory is Sam
Deakins, the second. The an
cient proverb here asserts itself,
Like father, like son." He,
like his father. is great lover
of church and Sunday school.
For the past five years he has
been superintendent of the C. P.
Sunday school. He is young
man whose aim is for the bet
terment of mankind. He is ag-
gressive in spirit and of that in
dominable will and spirit of kind
liness of his good old father we
all knew in the long, long ago.
Although we were mere young
sters when Lone Star" was a
member of Class No. 13. yet we
we'll remember him and wish he
would return and fall into his ac-
customed place in the class again.
Time has wrought many changes
in the years that have come and
gone. Many familiar faces have
left us and crossed into the great
beyond. but the memory and
spirit of their influence still lin
gers with us. To Lone Star"
we would again say, we have a
splendid Sunday school, one that
is alive. wide-awake, progress
sive and full of spirit and hope
for a happy future. We are ever
alert to bring about changes.
We were put here by the ALL
wise Creator for purpose and
that purpose is TO change the
world from a sphere of grief and
sorrow to world of happiness
and christian spirit. We sincere
ly trust that you are doing your
bit in your state of adoption in

Yokahama, Japan, Dec. 8, 1919,
Editor News:
We left Manila, P. l., on the
29th of November for Yokaha'
ma, Shanghi and Vladivostok.
On December 4th we arrived in
Tokyo Bay and anchored at the
city of Yokohama.
On entering the bay our first
sight of the Sunrise Kingdom"
was Mt. Fugiyama, which was
when first sighted, some forty
miles away. 1t is snow-capped
the year around.
Mt. Fugiyama is IL, 1865 feet in
hight, and may be climbed with
ease. 1t is said that the record
time was made by an English
man. This was eight hours.
This volcanic peak is said to
represent the Japanese people,
warm Of heart and cool of head.
Tradition also has it that the
mountain arose overnight in 286
B. c., and at the same time Lake
Biwa was formed.
Next of interest was our trip
ashore. We were met at the
dock by some 100 Jinrlkisha,
which is the Japanese method of
travelling. They travel at a
pace that kills, as it is so uniform
that it gives an American the
jim JAMES. 1t takes a good pair
of legs and a stout heart to be a
Rickashaw man, as the country
is so level and competition is so
keen. The price is seventy sen
per hour, or 35c. You see, Jap
anese money comes as follow ::
one yen, SOC. This is divided in
to one hundred parts called sen,
one-half cent. Most of the mon
ey is in paper and is as follows,
5, 10, 20 and so sen.
Yokohama impresses the sal
lor far better than any Ameri-
can port. Cleanliness is the OBJ
ject of the Japs' ambition and
they have attained a point far
ahead of any of the twelve for
eign countries | have seen.
The main streets are typical
American and most of the firms
are British or American. More
foreigners are in this city than
any other Japanese city. The
population is 100000.
The Knights of Columbus had
a special program arranged and
on Saturday we boarded an Eng
lish-looking passenger train for
the sacred island of Fujisawa,
Ainoshima and Kamakura, some
ten miles out. We arrived here
at 10 a. m. and began our tour
of inspection. The island is
about II miles in diameter and
rises 240 feet from the waters
edge,
The most picturesque spot is
the dragon, known from its
shape, the length is $40 feet.
The dragon which lived devoured
many of the neighboring child
rem, but this practice ceased
when the Goddess Benton, in her
anger, descended and married
the dragon. 1t is said that low
ers who visit this place, cease to
care for one another before the
end of the year.
From here we go by electric
car to Kamakura, the capitol of
the Japanese shogun, or king.
In 1648 the capitol was moved to
to Tokyo, from that day the city
has declined until now only few
houses remain. The city is Wis
tied by thousands of tourists to
see the Budha god, known as the
Darbutsu, and is the likeness of
Amida, the Jap's favorite god
