People are sometimes slow to recognize
true merit. and they cannot be blamed,
for so many have been humbugged in
the past. The experience of many Brat

through newspapers and. other sources,
places Doans Kidney Pills on firm
foundation here.
L. r. Barnes, 46 Clark ST., Brattle-
boro, says: ''Doans Kidney Pills sure
are a fine medicine. l have used them
for the last few years with excellent
results. When l first used Doans my

to heavy work which caused strain

 My mothers health failed shortly afterward, and 1 refused any more to take up the principalship of a school. So, when the Minor school was built l went there to hold the first grade at the same salary as would have drawn as a principal"
 Bush Very DiIapidated
 "The Bush school, which is now very dila pidated, is not as charming as many of our other buildings, but I love that neighborhood. Everybody has been so lovely to me, and I can not tell you how wonderful school boards and superintendents have been. They have shown me the ut most consideration"
 Although Mrs. Wilson's boys have repeatedly assured their mother that she does not have to work, Mrs. Will sons heart says that she does.
 "I believe I was called to teach, for I always felt 1t my duty. am proud to be a teacher I love my work and have an opportunity to do that for which l am not paid in do1- lars and cents. Therein lies my hap piness, People say we are born equal. but we are not. If we come from religious, educated people we have a good foundation. and I truly can say I have that. The things am most proud of are my ancestors, for which I deserve no credit. The labor I am proud of is raising three sons to be Christian men who bear good name, for a good name Is rather to be chosen than great riches.'"
 Mrs Wilson comes of a line of teachers. Her grandfather was pro- lessor of chemistry in the University of the South. Her mother who. like herself, was left a widow. supported her five children by teaching school French and piano.
 At my first school I did not re- ceive but s25 per month. My mother told me: Your salary is small. but always give the best that is in you.
 
 "The small measure of success l may have attained Is due to the mercy and goodness of God, my an- cestors and my sister, who lives with me. and who Is truly the power be- hind the throne"
 No, Not old
 The teacher of the old school smiled
 q wonder sometimes if I am old when l look at some of my former pupils, now staid citizens of the town. But I do not feel old. prob ably for the reason that I am blessed with such exuberant health.

She began teaching at o'clock in the morning and taught until 3:30.

It seems queer to think that 1t is now the center of old Ensley! I went to see the site of 1t in a buggy. It was so wet and boggy we would not have dared to venture near other wise.
 The second year there I had such big room-125 pupils-with an average attendance of 100 children. Trying to instruct all that group, my voice completely left me. Fortunate VI my family physician was on the school board, and he reported that a teacher was about to be killed in such an earnest manner that par tition was put in the room; and you must know 1t was an extremely large room. because the partition is sti!l necessary"

 When Mrs. Wilson made her next move, it was as a starter" again. This time she was asked to become principal at Tuxedo school. which was the forerunner of the Minor school. This institution of learning was conducted in a store. two others of the teachers being Mrs. Fred F Davis and Miss Brookie Thomas. Here they also had so many students that 1t showed the necessity of a permanent building. Miss Brookie Thomas Is now a seventh grade teacher at the Gibson school.

Alexander DeliUerS
 Graduating Address

Jacksonville, June 1.-(special.)- More than 1900 persons attended the graduating exercises In the nor maj auditorium Tuesday evening. The classical program of choral and orchestral selections was thorough ly enjoyed by the patrons and sup porters of the school.
 In presenting the diplomas, pr. Dagette's parting advice and heart 10 heart talk touched responsive chords in the hearts of the members of the class. Dr. Thomas Alexan- der, professor of elementary educa- ten. Peabody college, was present and delivered the graduating ad- dress.
 The message which was a depart ure from the usual commencement address held the attention of the audience from the beginning. He gave some starling facts in regard to elementary school conditions and teachers over the country and espe- -cially in the south. large per centage of our public school teachers have only finished the eighth grade with no other training as teachers and that about 10 per cent of our teachers are qualified by education and special training, he pointed out among other things.
 Though Dr. Alexander ia a clear forceful talker. he is equally noted as, humorist and his description of his varied experiences as a student and teacher was thoroughly amusing
 Tuesday evening brought to 8 close the most successful year in the history of the state normal. The attendance has been a record and the enrolment for the summer school will be far greater than last year. The development in the ex- tension. music and physical educa- tion departments have been out standing during the past year and have added to the reputation of the institution.
