OUR BUSY n(Autn, TO LENGTHEN SCH00LTERMS Rural School Have Average Term of . 137 Days Expsct Seventy Coun ties to Increase Session. '. Nashville. Tennessee rural school will have longer terms this year than ever before, 51 counties having report ed to the state educational department plana for extending the numbr of days school will a in session. Between tO and To coteties are expected to In crease the tertn. The ;6 counties In 1920-21 had an average t?rm of 119 days. The aver age lust year was 122 days and this year the average will be 13 "days. This increase Is largely due to the Increased state aid now given the sev eral counti?s and the basis on which this aid Is apportioned. Under the acts of 1921 each county is required to maintain a term, of at least five months before It can share in the state equal izing fund". During the scholastic year 1920-21, before this law was effective, the school term In 14 counties was less than 100 days. Daring the past year It was less than 100 days in only one county, and during the present not one county will fall below, this minimum. , It is fast developing Into a race be tween the smaller counties to see which can get out of the minimum 100-day column. All of the 58 counties reported to date have succeeded in getting out of this class and it is ex pected that the remaining 40 will be equally fortunate.

His death, however, came unexpectedly. , Senator Watson's body will be taken to his home at Thomson, Ga., for the (uncial and interment. The death of Senator Watson marks the passing of a brilliant pamphleteer, s historian of merit, an orator pos sessing the ability to larrup a politi cal lev it around the stump In the ?hake of a cat's tail and un erratic genius who permitted prejudice to blind reason and passion to distort truth. Born in Columbia County, Ga he was admitted to the bar In 1875. When the wave of populism swept America the "man In the hills" the small liviid owner and the day laborer thrrnged t'.ie ranks of the party that promised heaven on earth.

It was written in poetical prose, but prejudice against Catholicism robbed it of truth. It was used in the French schools after the separation of church and state. Between times he edited Tom Wat ion's Magatlne, first published In New York, and the Jeffersonlan Magazine. His publications were barred from' the malls on the charge of obscenity and he was prosecuted in the United States court. Watson was his own law yer. After several trials he was ac quitted.
