County Schools Flourish.

The county schools are in flourishing
condition and large enrollments are re-
ported from practically all Of the
schools. The congestion in the county
6chool is not as pronounced, how
ever, as in the city schools.
The question Of increased salaries for
teachers in both the city and county
schools Is one that has caused consider
able agitation during the current school
term. Both white and negro teachers
in the city schools as well as the prin-
cipals Of the white city schools have

During the city campaign Mayor
Rowlett Paine and his associates who
were elected to the city commission
pledged their support Of measures to
give the teachers additional remunera-
ton and have already directed their
efforts toward this end. Final settle
ment of the matter. however, will rest
with the supreme court Of the state in
determining whether or not the city
commission has the legal right to in
crease the taxation to a point above sc
cents for school purposes. An ordi-
nance raising the taxation to 60 cents
win be passed by the city commission
and this matter will be tested in the
courts in a friendly lawsuit, and, in
the event the city's right to increase
the tax is upheld. at least $135, 900 will
be available to the board of education

During Coming Year-Nor-
NAL and University Grow.

A growth of Unprecedented proper
tons has marked the schools in and
around Memphis during the past year.
This particularly is true Of the public
schools of the city and county and the
State Normal school Two branches of
the University of Tennessee located
here have not grown so noticeably In
numbers, but the officials in charge oil
those institutions state that the ma
tertal Of which their classes are com
posed are among the best that they
have ever had enrolled.
So great has been the growth in the
public schools of the city that the con
gestion In the schools last year is
slight in comparison. Practically every
white school in the city is filled to ca
pacity and the installation of the work.
study-play plan in several of the
schools has not relieved the situation to
any great extent.
During 1920 a building program that
will include additions to at least four
of the present school buildings and the
possible construction of an entirely new
school building at Richmond and Or
leans will be undertaken by the city
board OF education. j
The board has available at this time
$256,000 for building purposes, and an
other quarter of a million will be avail
able before the expiration of the calen-
dar year. This amount and more will
be needed to construct a sufficient
number of additions and new buildings
to take care of the greatly increased
number of pupils who nave enrolled
during the present school term, and the
still larger number who are to be- ex-
pected at the beginning of the 1920-192l
term next September,

Public Schools Filled.

Central High school. completed sew
eral years ago. has at the present time
considerably, more pupils than 1t has
seating capacity. This condition. is
true Of a large number of public school
buildings. The bureau of education of
the federal government, in an exhaus-
tive survey made during the summer
of 1919 recommended the construction
of additions to practically half the
school buildings occupied by white chill
dren.
The public school buildings brought
under the jurisdiction of the city board
of education by the annexation of ad-
ditional territory to the city of Mem
phis placed an additional burden upon
the city board. the several school build
ings being turned over to them being In
a bad state of repair, and some OF
them almost useless for school pur-
poses. Extensive building will be nee
essary in order to put these schools in
condition fit for use. 4
The State Normal school, at Normal,
Tenn, reported the largest enrolment
in its history shortly after the begin
dormitories at this school are taxed
to the limit and the classrooms are also
filled to overlooking with the large
number Of students attending this in
~stitution. =
The College Of Medicine. and College
of Pharmacy Of the University of Ten
nessee are not taxed to their capacity
as to the number Of students enrolled,
but officials of the two institutions are
highly, gratified over the showing that
these institutions of learning have
made during the present term. The
standard of the two schools Is consid-
erably higher thar it has been for sew
eral years, and it is the confident be-
lief that the actual number of students
will be largely increased next year.

Tney believe in patriotism, and those

Within the past few years, since the
passage OF the prohibition laws, there
has been much publicity given to the
violation Of those laws in the larger
cities. Yet, as compared with the total
population, the few men who attempted
to avoid the consequences of those par
ticular laws were a very small minority,
Time was, 10 or 10 years ago, when
public sentiment in the our larger cit

to back up the law-enforcing authorl-
ties in preventing the Illegal sale of
liquor. Blu sentiment rapidly changed
and within the past 10 Years there has
grown up a sentiment so strong that
only sporadic instances Of the violation
of those laws occurred.
Gov. A. H. Roberts, the head of the
state administration, during his cam

since his election, hasSspoken strongly
against the propaganda advocated by
