Prof. Mathia' Address.
We are somewhat like the Irishman,
whoa his General told the army that as
one of the bloodiest battles was soon to
be fought, any man who wished to
engage in secret prayer could do so, the
Q) ' Irishman walked from the ranks and
concealed himself bohind a cotton bale;
some one quietly listened to what he
was saying, and gathered this one sen
tence: "Lord thou knowest we are not
brawling after, you every day." Just
so it has been with the Union City
Training School; we have let our work
speak, which is the best May to build
anything.
Our course is four years in English,
Latin and Mathematics, so arranged
that it is in harmony with the various
universites, thereby saving time and
money to our students and patrons.
The time was, when the association
and pleasure of students centered in
and around the chapel; but that is a
thing of the past; to-day the scene is
changed; the interest centers on the
athletic field. School work is first, and
athletics are secondary; yet a boy must
have clean hands and make good in
the class work and examinations if he
holds a place on the team.
Nashville has truly been called
the Athens of the South, in and around
Nashville, where the educational atmos
phere is filled with a classical spirit.
Nearly every town in that section has
been so influenced in seeing the great
necessity of preparatory schools, that
they have the proud distinction and
honor of having these schools. Then
is there any reason why Union City
should be so unlike that section of our
State?
Of students that have graduated from
schools in and around Union City in
the last two years, counting tho two
young men who recently received their
certificates from the U. C. T. S., we
have furnished about 85 per cent, of the
young men that have entered universi
ties. What the life boat are to those upon
the sea, the preparatory schools are to
the young men in receiving them from
the influences of commercialism : and
bringing them back into the harbor of
education. What the 14-foot water
way is in reclaiming our fertile lands, so
are our preparatory schools are playing
the same part in the field of education.
We feel proud of our progresssive
merchants, who take pleasure in meet
ing the demands of the people. We
rejoice, if wheat, the queen grain, wears
a dollar wreath upon her brow and king
corn a four dollar barrel for a crown.
We enjoy thgreat feast in attending
our county fair, there to look upon
the progress of our farmers, both as to
stock and products and last, but not
least, to view the handiwork of our fair
women.
We are all aglow when the horses
are on the track, and we hear the men
say go; but the greatest pleasure to us
is to take a boy or girl and prepare
them for life and then tell them to en
ter life's battles and do their best.
Friends this closes our twenty-first year.
Our exercises now begin and will be
according to the program you hold in
your hand.
