ion Of republic. The whole future
welfare of the nation depends upon
an intelligent and educated citizen
ship, II is money we'll spent when ap-
preparations are made for an efficient
public school system.
The members of the county board
are farmers and business men. They
are familiar with business conditions.
They would gladly reduce the tax
burden. But after painstaking in
vestigation of more than a month they
have found that they cannot operate
the schools at their present standard
unless substantially the same sum is
appropriated for the coming year, that
was expended during the past year.
They will not increase the budget but
they frankly confess that it cannot be
reduced. ...t
The Herald can without hesitation
approve the announcement of the
board. The schools must be maintain
ed at their present standard. Maury
county cannot, must not take a back
ward step in education. The ad-
vances allowed in teachers pay are
fair and just and for the present they
cannot be disturbed without a short
ening of the term or the loss of many
of the county's. most capable educa-
tors. This journal believes that
sound public sentiment will approve
the action of the board and that the
county court will make provision for
the budget that will be submitted at
the July term.

Lightning struck and fire destroyed
the big barn of John l.. Jones on the
Mt. Pleasant pike on Tuesday evening
during the electrical storm and rain.
The barn was valued by Gen. Jones at
$500 and he carried $3.50 of insurance
with Hendley. Thomas & Hendley. In
the barn John T. Shelton had about
5000 worth of fine alfalfa hay that had
never had a drop of rain on it. The
hay was entirely destroyed and there

SCHOOL BUDGET.

Members, Of the county board OF
education have very difficult and
delicate task in the making Of the
school budget this year. Under a
very wise law passed recently the
board must make and submit this
budget to the July term of the coun-
ty court showing in detail the amount
of money that will be needed
for the operation of the schools for
the coming year. Another law applies
a penalty If the board should antici-
pate more revenue that will be avail
able.
II will be recalled that last year
the board increased the pay of the
teachers of the county by approxim-
ately twenty-five per cent, this being
done under the direction of resolu-
ton unanimously adopted by the coun-
ty court without this increase it
would have been utterly impossible

iously underpaid for many years.
The Herald has repeatedly declared
that when qualifications necessary to
obtain certificate are considered, the
teachers were the poorest paid work
ers In the state.
No one denies the necessity for
adequate compensation for teachers;
the justice of 1t is admitted. But
these are times of depression. Taxes
are burder-ome upon the people and
especially those of the rural sections.
Every effort must be made to reduce
the tax burden, but the schools must
not be impaired, 1t would be unthink-
able to suggest cutting down of the
term. Education is the most import

Immediately after the county COM
mittee called primary for next No

Offices to be filled began to blossom
forth and for two hours or more Mon
day afternoon they were busy plying
their trade.
The trustees Office seems to be the
prime favorite with the patriots who
would serve their country and the can
didates were so thick that they actu.
ally got tangled up electioneering
with each other. 1t looks now as if
there will be half dozen or more
who would collect the taxes of the
county. . ..a .-.. 4....
Next in popularity comes the sher-
ifs Office and there will be, from pres
ent indications, no lack of material
from which to make the selection of
peace officer of the county. OF course
there will be the county clerks Office
also to be filled.
Joe r. Anderson the popular cir
cult court clerk, will probably run
lone race. He Is not going to have a
bit of company. His record has been
so good and his friends are so numer-
Gus and appreciative that so far there
is not even a suspicion of opposition
to his reelection.
What has been said with reference
to the circuit court clerk applies also
to the register. J. J. Pogue is one of
the most popular and obliging officials
that ever served Maury county. He
has held his Office for only one term
and his friends declare that il ever a
register was entitled to an endorse
ment that man is Jim Buck Pogue.
Some Of the candidates expressed
themselves as pleased with the action
of the county committee in calling a
primary fifteen months before the
term for which the officers to be elect.
ed will begin. They said that they
wanted to have 1t all over as soon as
possible. A member of the committee
defended the action of the committee
on the ground that it would enable
the candidates to make a crop next
year" Since. they will not have
time to make or gather one this year,
he was probably figuring that a crop
would be more profitable next year
than this and in this calculation he
may be correst.
So far as The Herald can ascertain
there has never been but one county
primary held in this county year be-
fore the election and that was four
years ago when the committee, over
strong opposition called a November
primary The primary in 1906 and
1908 and 1910 was held in the early
spring. Six years ago the state COM
mittee called a senatorial primary in
November, but the law now forbids
primary for a state or federal officer
more than three months before the
election.

ers in the primary will be-.

COLLEGE EDUCATION.

Because many college graduates
failed to answer the 100 questions
propounded by Mr.. Edison does not
argue that college education is a fail
ure and is not worth all that 1t costs.
The prime object of education is to
train mems minds to think and to
teach them how, when occasion makes
1t necessary to acquire information.
1t cannot be expected that in a period
of -four years college graduates will
be able to answer at random any ques-
ton In history or geography but they
should be able to quickly and accur-
ately ascertain facts that may be nee
sssary.
There are many educated fools; just
as there are illiterates who have a
really valuable education and be-
cause OF superior native ability often
achieve a greater success in life than
men with so-called scholarship attain
ments. Not all knowledge Is gained
In the school room. In fact the period
spent In the school room cannot do
more than to train the mind and
heart to meet and grapple with the
problems of life as they arise. 1t Is
not q sufficient argument against the
expenditures of money for education
to point to the successful men who
have achieved success and fortune
without the schooling generally deem
ed necessary. Those men, were EEK
ceptionally endowed by nature. They
would probably have risen even higher
il they had received the advantages
given to more fortunate members of
society.
Not every college graduate is cap
able, when he leaves school of max
ing his way unaided in the world, but
that Is not an indictment of our col
lege graduates. The colleges simply
cannot supply elements of character
which never existed. They cannot
make manly men out of "slackers"
and CUTTERS" But they can direct
into the right channel the native tai
ents and homely virtues Of the men
who attend them.
. Even IL 1t were possible to give
every boy and girl college educa-
ton the millennium could still be far
of. But there would be vastly less
of''prejuiice and nnsenseless. passion
and foolish antipathy in the world
than exists today. Their would be
more thinking and less acting purely
from impulse, though of course we
would continue to make our mistakes
and there would be plenty OF failures.
The boy in this day and time who
enters upon the real duties and res
ponsibilties of life without an educa-
ton still has splendid opportunities
to make good" but nevertheless I'M

unusually endowed by the creator, he
is handicapped. Everything else be-
ing equal he is at disadvantage with
the college graduate. Hence the boy
who has the opportunity in this re-
public to obtain college education
and who negelcts to avail himself of
it, is standing in his own light. He
will not know it ALL when he re-
ceives his diploma nor will the world
expect him to have at his fingers

OF the ages, but he will be able to

THE further we get away from his
toric events of the past the better
- we understand them. II is a curious
fact that we know much more to-day
about ancient Egypt, 5000 years ago, than
has ever been known even In the centuries
which closely followed.
The Bible scholar, of to-day knows in
tinitely more about the life and doings Of
the Saviour than those who lived within ID
hundred years of his death. And this is
especially true also of our rapidly increas.

acters and events.
In all the Holy Scriptures there is no
more beautiful bit of literature than the
Old Testament book called The Song of
Solomon" This exquisite bit OF poetry
las for centuries been attributed to King
Solomon. who Is believed to have written
this beautiful love poem.
But now Professor Morris Jastrow, the
world renowned biblical scholar, who oc-
cupied the chair OF Semitics In the Uni.
versity of Pennsylvania until the day of
his death recently. makes announcement
IN volume completed Just before he died
that Solomon never wrote "The Song Of
Solomon"
In fact, Professor Jastrow declares that
not only did the great king never write
rhis classic love poem but that he never
saw II or heard II, and, indeed. II was not
written until 500 years after Solomon was
dead and buried, and was not put into the
present form In which 1t appears In tho
Scriptures until 200 years later than that.

much evidence and erudition in his vol

So great is the need, Or Upham said,
that the wives of the members OF the in
