Gov. ALI TAYLOR URGES
BETTER SCHOOL SYSTEM.

Nashville, Tenn, March s.
THE educational situation in Tenn
essee, particularly as relates to our
rural schools, is such that it ought
to arouse within the soul OF every
citizen of the state a crushing sense
of humiliation," said Gov. Taylor
in a special message to the legisla-
ture today urging relief for the pub
lie schools.
Gov. Taylor went into details OF
reports showing conditions of illit-
eracy in the state; shorter aver age
term of graded schools than ten
years ago; poorly paid teachers, re-
sulting in a. shortage of trained in
structors, and poorly paid superin-
tendent. He urged a more liberal
school policy and various reforms in
the educational system.
In stressing the urgency of this
subject, which has been close to him
since he entered the race for COVER
nor nearly a year ago, Gov. Taylor
urged the legislature to get down to
important measures having in mind
the food of local bills and minor
legislation now jamming the hop
pers of the two houses. On this
point he said; I'VE have but few
weeks left to work out these press
ing problems of a new assessment
law and a regeneration of our rural
school system and appeal to you
in the name of the state to grant
preference and priority to these
measures which are general in ma
ture and give you time and thought
to these more important and far
reaching matters.
Gov. Taylor said it would require
four times the present annual ex-
| penditure on public schools to bring
Tennessee to the average OF the
United States and he pointed out
that the value of ell school property
in the state is $19,375.676 whereas
the value of automobiles in the
state is $9O,OO0,O00
Changes recommended by Gov
Taylor are the combination of the
two county school boards into one
board of seven members, elected by
the county court, one each year,
the superintendent to he ex-officio
secretary; the county superintend-
ent to be elected by this board for a
four. year term instead of a two
wear term and with a minimum
salary Of 81 800, the superintend-
ent to be required to devote his en-
tire time to the duties of that Office.
For teachers, the governor recon-
mends that a diploma from any
accredited college be accepted as
evidence of the qualification apd
that for those not such graduates
an examination to be held which il
passed would entitle the applicant
to a life certificate, also that county
examinations be held for still others
for certificates good in that county
only for doing away with the fire.
ouent examinations now the prac-
tice. Above all, the governor recon-
mends higher pay for teachers.

RINGBONE-GROWTH OF BONY
TUMOR ON THE ANKLE
(HORSES)
The bony tumor which is respon
sible for ringbone is not the disease
but the result of inflammatory &C
ton set up in the periosteum and
bone tissue proper. Injuries, such
as; blows, sprains, overwork in
young animals, fast work on hard
roads, jumping, etc, are the chief
causes Of ringbone. Horses having
short upright pasterns are most cas-
lily subject to ringbone, since the
shock of bearing their weight and
moving rapidly on hard ground is
not absorbed in the forelegs OF these
animals. Improper shoeing, such as
the use of high calks, too great
shortening of the toe and cores
pondingly high heels increases the
conclusion to the feet and renders
the animal susceptible to this dis
ease.
SYMPTOMS.
The first symptoms of ringbone
is the appearance of lameness more
or less acute. If the bony tumor
forms on the side or the upper parts
of the large pastern, its growth is
generally unattended with acute in
flammatory action and consequent
" produces no lameness or evident
fever. These are called false"
ringbones. But when the tumors
form on the whole circumference of
the ankle, or simply in front under
the extensor tendon, or behind un-
der the flexor tendons, or if they
involve the joints between the two
pastern bones, or between the small
pastern and the coffin bone, the
lameness is always severe. These
constitute the true ringbone. Be-
sides lameness, the ankle of the
affected limb presents more or less
heat, and in many instances rath-
er firm, thoug limited, swelling oi
the deeper tissues over the seat oi
the infammatory process. The
lameness of ringbone is characters
tic in that the heel is first placed or
the ground when the disease is in
foreleg, and the ankle is kept al
rigid as possible. In the hind leg
however, the toe strikes the grounc
first, when the ringbone is high or
the ankle, just as in health, but th'
ankle is maintained in a rigid posi-
ton. II the bony growth is unde,
the front tendon of the hind leg, O.
if it involves the coffin joint th'
heel is brought to the ground first

PRESERVING FRUITS

That the utilization of freezing stor-

be prOfitably extended is the belief of

1t is pointed out that the preserva-

than canning them, especially when
tin containers are scarce and costly as
at present; and that the frozen fruit.

more natural flavor than canned or
