There is no longer doubt that our College Preparatory

cause of what we say but what we have done. The fol
lowing unsolicited letter was enclosed in our last report
from the Vanderbilt examinations:
"Prin. Arthur C. Nute,
Union City, Tenn.
"These records speak for themselves. I congratulate
you on the excellence of them. It is evident that you
are equipped both iu the extent of your curriculum and
in the ability of your instructors, nnd prepare your stu
dents up to the standard required for admission into the
colleges of the first grade. Yuu are making a record
among the schools of the state of which you nnd your
Board and the citizens of your community may be justly
proud. We wish you continued success in your work
and increasing usefulness in your field of labor.

We nre hoping for great things, and know that they
w.ill come, as they only can, through the hearty cooper
ation of parents.
In presenting to you our circular, we assure you that
the facts herein stated are truthful. The teachers are
earnest workers, competent, experienced and eminently
Huccessful. The aim of all our teaching will be not facts
purely but power. Above all else will be sought the
development of character, for without it education is a
misnomer. '
PRIMARY AND GRAMMAR GRADES.
The work in the primary nnd grammar grades follows
closely the outline given by the state.
In the first three giades, reading will be given chiefest
attention, since it is the basis of all subsequent educa
tion. Thought and expression rather than a mere ac
cumulation of words will be the aim.
Number will be taught from the beginning and In
crease in emphasis with the unfolding of the compre
hensive abilities of the child. Elementary arithmetic,
will lie finished in the seventh grade.
' Spelling will be taken entirely from the daily lessons
in the first four grades, after which it is advisable that a
book be used to supplement the work.
Language lessons will be given in all grades but as
sume no definite proportions until the fourth year.
Geography will be begun In the second half of the sec-

At the head of this department is an experienced
teacher and actual accountant, a graduate of one of the
best business schools in the country. In addition, for
successful teaching, our school is fitted with a bank,
jobbing house, wholesale house and commission house,
through all of which students .must pass in the actual
Business Practice. For the coming year, students may
take the course in whole or in part. The work will be
done in the form of actual business, with notes, checks,
drafts, bills, statements, receipts, orders, etc.
Many students enter a commercial school feeling that
the only essential to success in business life is a knowl
edge of bookkeeping and shorthand. No greater mis
take could be made. In making requests for office as
sistants, business men now incorporate the request that
in addition to the commercial branches, the candidate
must be proficient in English, spelling, commercial
arithmetic, letter writing, etc. To nieet this demand,
our best High Schools have incorporated business
courses in their curricula.,.
The Art course is designed to be quite flexible, allow.
ing pupils some freedom to follow their inclination.
Any language may be substituted. Music and Expres-1
sion may be substituted for an equivalent amount of I
work.
The head of this department received her education in
such schools as the Art Leagues of Buffalo and New
York City and has had experience in the State of Mis-1
souri.
The study of Art is too universal to need nny argu
ment for its support. It was established in our school
to meet the demand of those who seek a liberal educa
tion with no idea of going to college or entering busi
ness and yet desire an accomplishment that may be a I
source of pleasure after graduation. In this department, I
one may rest assured of skill not only in brush, pen and
pencil, but also in those supplementary skills that give
a test to an otherwise resourceless life. It is designed
that this department shall embrace not only water color,
charcoal, ink, crayon, etc., but also leather work, ham
mered brass, bent iron, raffia, reed, etc. This work will
be open to any nnd all who may hawxn interest therein.
All communications relative to school work should be I

Mrs. Hefley.
Mrs. Lou E. Hefley, beloved wife
of J. A. Hefley of this city, died
last Monday at noon, Aug. 5, 1907.
Mrs. Hefley was a patient sufferer
for many years. A Bhort time ago
she was taken to Nashville for sur
gical treatment, but the operation
at that time was considered inad
visable. Her'sicknes was traceable
to call stone. She came home and
to all appearances was improving,
but suffered from a violent relapse
Thursday and grew worse until life
was no more.
Mrs. Hefley was 46 years of age.
She was born in Dyer County. She
was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
W. L. Odom, and, with, her pa
rents, came to Woodland Mills in
her youth'. On Dec. 22, 1880, she ,
was united in marriage to J. A
Hefley at woodland and tne union
was blessed with seven children,
two of whom" are dead. The sur
vivors are vernon, Mrs, Mattie
Bryan, Wilbur, John and Herbert
Her father died two years ago.leav'
ing, of tha'" "..ily, Mrs. Odom, her
mother, and a brother, J. T. Odom,
of Russellville, Ark., who was pres
ent during the last hours of illness.
Mrs. Hefley embraced Christian
ity when a girl and joined the Bap
tist Church at Woodland Mills in
. ...
1881. It is not possible to iorm a
correct idea of the life of a good
woman in a lew words. With pa
tience and fortitude she sustains
the ilia and heartaches as only a
mother can, and with devotion sub
lime finds solace and happiness in
her household. Her heart and soul
are wrapt in the lives of loved ones!
This is true of all good mothers,
and of these the deceased was a
notable Example. Devoted to her
family, faithful in all things, kind
hearted, true, Mrs. Hefley enjoyed
the love of her kindred and the es
teem of friends. The loss of such
wife and mother is a bereavement
ndescribable. The mind is help
less ; there is a dearth of tribute in
speech. We' simply bow in solemn
reverence to the occasion.
Services over the remains were
held at the Baptist Church Tues
day, conducted by Rev, H. B. John
ston, and the remains were convey
ed to East View for interment, with
numerous floral offerings.

Two Sermons.
Rev. John Garth, of Newbern, N.
C, whose family is summering with
relatives in Union City, preached
last' Sunday morning to a large
congregation at the Presbyterian
Church, the church having been un
occupied for some time. A great
number of old-time friends greeted
Mr. Garth, and while they came to
hear him preach, they no less de
sired to pay their respects to the
minister. Mr. Garth , delivered a
good sermon and the music by the
Garth family was thoroughly en
joyed. Mr. Garth preached again
Sunday nignt at the Methodist
Church to a large congregation.
