Among the Negroes

The colored people of Falcon
enjoyed one of the best concerts
ever given at this place last
week, the players being from
Selmer and Falcon. Quite a nice
sum was realized, which will bc
used on improving the school
house. The Seimer string band
furnished the music, which was
fine. A big dinner was prepared
for the players.
We are going to make the Fal-
con school one of the best.
County Supt. Mr.. Terry Aber-
nathy addressed the school at
Selmer Monday morning, taking
as his subject, the Golden Rule.
His speech was enjoyed by all
who heard him, and delivered in
his usual forceful manner. Short
talks were made by Prof. Bishop
and Walter Sharp.
With the cooperation of every
one we will have the, best school
Selmer has ever had under the
leadership of Profs. Bishop and

Tennessee Leads Southern States
In Earnings Per Capita

Boys doing project work in
Smith-Hughes Vocational Agri-
culture earn an average of $129. 90
per capita according to the re-
port of R. D. Maltby, Federal
Agent for the Southern region.
Tennessee should feel proud of
its record in Smith Hughes Vo-
cational Agriculture for the past
year. The boys in the high
schools of the State who are TAX
ing the course earned an average
of $139. 90 each from the projects
they are required to carry while
studying vocational agriculture.
This amount heads the States OF
the Southern region with okla
homa coming second with an av.
erage earning Of $125 90.
Tennessee stood second in
amount Of money returned pei
dollar expended. For every dol
lar, Federal, State, and Local,
spent, the boys returned S1.1a
and for every dollar Of Federal
money spent they returned So. 8.
North Carolina leads Tennessee
in this respect by the narrow
margin of one cent.
A few years ago it was i'm
possible to get a record of the
number of boys in Tennessee
studying agriculture, but since
the passage of the Smith Hughes
Act in 1917, the Division of Vo.
cational Education, of the Depart.
ment of Public Instruction il
keeping an accurate record Of
what is now being accomplished,
Beginning with 189 boys in 1915
the work has had a marvellous
growth, and today there are TIA.
farm boys preparing for the vo.
cation of agriculture.
