But In attendance the state falls far
below the ideal. Another article will
deal with this subject and with the
loss which is caused by irregular at
tendance.
Most OF the cities Of Tennessee are
fairly well supplied with good build
ings. but comparatively few OF the city
schools are sufficient ywell equipped
with maps and charts and libraries,
laboratories and Fairgrounds and other
things regarded as necessary for the
best work in the elementary and Sec
ondary schools. Although some OF the
counties OF the state have In recent
years spent a good deal for new school
buildings. n great majority of the ru-
raj school buildings OF the state are
wholly unfit for school use. They are
unsightly. uncomfortable and unsani-
tary. They are far from the standard
ago by the school improvement league
OF the state: For our schools, health,
comfort, beauty" Very few OF them
have anything like adequate equipment
for the ordinary work OF the school and
particularly for work In agriculture and
home making, which has come to be
considered the most important phase of
rural education. There is great need
for large number of new school
buildings In the state and for large ex-
penditures for necessary equipment. II
would. however be unwise to spend
much money for new schoolhouses UNI
I'll careful study OF the needs Of new
buildings has been made and a wise
policy OF school consolidation adopted.
This will be treated In another article
OF this series, ms will also the course
OF study and the preparation OF teach
ers.

SYMPATHY.
1t wouldn't De much Of a world
down here
If nobody cared when VIC shed a
tear;
With all of it's roses and dimpled
cheeks.
And its mountains high and its rip
ping creeks,
With all Of its sunshine and skies Of
blue,
And the laughter Of children that
cheers US through.
A sorrowful place would this old
world be
If it weren't for the leaven Of SYM
pathy.
Life would grow barren and cold
and drear,
Though the roses blossomed year af-
ter year,
And the sun comes out with the
birth of day,
And the children romped in the
yard at play,
If in times of trial and hurt and
woe
We could get no help from the
friends we know:
We should hate the world and the
Joys we own
If we had 10 stand TO our griefs
alone.
The rose grows lovely because it
lends
It's tender charms to the love Of
friends;
The precious jewel Of great or wise
Is the power they have 10 sympa-
thize.
To feel the sorrows that others bear.
To sense the touch Of another's
care;
For there's never a man whoe'er he
be.
Who could get along without sym
pathy.
It's the balm we need when our
hurts are sore,
It's the one sweet touch that we
hunger for;
without it life were a stru ggle vain
And few would master their hours
OF pain.
For we're all sustained in our times
of care
BY the gentle hands Of the friends
who care;
It's the kindly word and the tender
smile
And the hearts that feel that make
life worth while.
