U. C. HICH SCHOOL
. COMMENCEMENT
Class of Sixteen Graduate1 With
High Honors.
On last Thursday night the ;rra Just
ing clajis of the Union City High School
appeared ut Reynolds Theatre to receive
their diplomas. " '
The stage was decorated with school
colors. The two boxes were Oieupied
by the Juniors, who are to make up the
class of 1015. i
Invocation was offered by Rev. W,
W. Armstrong, and then Mr. Nute
made some explanatory remarks. . In
these remarks, he stated, he wanted to
correct a misapprehension existing in
some quarters. Mr. Nute said that be
believed in the exigence of a God, the
Supreme Being, the authenticity of the
Bible and its teachings. We presume
be intended to include bis faith in the
creatiou of the world as recorded in the
Bible,, and the Holy Trinity, as these
are embraced in the teachings of the
Bible. Mr. Nute stated further that be
was not responsible for the finances of
the school, that this should be placed,
where it rests, upon the Board of Edu
cation. The Board of Education, he
added, fixes the salaries of the teach
ers. Mr. Nute said that if he should
lose his position with the schools be
would still remain a citizen of Union
City. This is bis borne, be said, and
here be bad met more friends than at
any other place. He owned his 'home
and nobody could take that from him.
Rev. Armstrong kindly consented to
make the class address, the State Super
intendent of Public Instruction being
absent. Taking up bis subject he saia
that upon the young men and young
women depended our future. After the
age of thirty years is reached men and
women are not so susceptible to change.
Therefore youth is the formation period
of character. We are all making an
investment. Consciously or unconsci
ously, we are shaping our onds. hall
we make this investment for a broader
and better field of usefulness, or shall
we invest in a harvest of regret. We
are given our youth, our health, strength
and opportunities, what shall we give i
return? What also is due from us as
Christians? What do we owe to the
community and to the church? Shall
we make a good investment or a bad
investment? We are bound to make
one or the other. God requires us to
make a return from our talents. We
are expected to give an account of our
stewardship. What shall we do with it?
The time spent in frivolity in sensuali
ties does not contribute to the strength
of character. Rev. Armstrong said that
he had no respect for the dude or the
dudine. They are doing nothing that
will contribute to the mental, physical
and moral strength of the human race.
They are making a poor investment.
He said that he had known men who
thought more of their horses, cattle and
bogs than they did of their children.
We should pay more attention to our
children. .They need more of our help.
We should direct they- minds to the
making' of good investments, to the
building of character and to the mak
ing of good men and good women. We
should show young men and women
the way to happiness. , The preacher
referred to bis own life, and said that if
some one had only shown him the way
in time. But the prayer did come at a
late hour and he thanked God for that
prayer. A lesson was drawn from na
ture from the flowers and the grass.
God gave them to the world, and in re'
turn they are giving back of their fruit
age. We should also give back in re-
turn for the blessings which have been
given to us. To the class the speaker
addressed himself, urging upon them
the importance of a good investment.
You have been given many good things
what will you give in return? He con
gratulated the Superintendent upon the
class and its attainments. He said that
Union City bad the best school he had
ever known of. The class is a good
one, but it should be five times as large
and could be if the proper efforts were
made in behalf of our schools.
The salutatory was by Edwin Rogers
and the valedictory by Miss May Mc
Clanahan. Hon. F. J. Smith presented
the diplomas with an essay on truth that
was indeed a classic within itself.
The class is as follows: May McCIan-
aban, Guamer Gray, Louise Adams,
Cassie Jones, Pauline Caldwell, Bess'
Reeves, Alice Nash, Ruth Walters, Clara
Wehnian, Georgia Usry, Sadie MeClain,
Casper Isaacs, EJwin Rogers, Roy Park,
Merritt Majors, Fred Scheurer.
Three prizes were delivered by Rev.
Armstrong to student in the High
School as follow: For manual train
ing. Doss BowJen; for household econ
omics, Willo Whitson; for character
part in German inf, Bess Reeves.
FARM CO-OPERATION.
Loss in Marketing Food and Farm
1 Products.
We have had much to say about com
munity co-operation among farmers be
cause we believe it to be the first practi
cal step towards better agricultural con
ditions. But this question of co-operation
should not stop with the farmer b-
cause all other industries are practk&Uy
dependent upon the products of the soil
for their prosperity.
Commercial clubs and business men's
associations that desire to render service
to farmers with a view of building both
town and country will find the greatest
opportunity in helping establish better
markets. The best advertisement that
any city or town can have to draw the
farmer's Irade is that it is a splendid
market for the farmer's products. Nor
should the report be all the story. The
town in question must "make good" in
competition with other towns as a mar
ket and as a desirable place to trade.
Providing a good market does not re
quire that the merchants, business men
and consumers of farm, orchard and
garden products pay more than the cur
rent market prices; that would be un
reasonable and uneconomic. What the
people of the town may do to make
products bring good prices is to reduce
all unnecessary expenses and give the
producer and the consumer the greatest
possible benefit of economic Eervice.
The town's wealth' is contingent upon
the producer's dollar more than it is on
the middleman's extortion. It is not
the few that the business men of the
town should favor, but the many.
Let it be understood that every man
who renders useful service is entitled
to just and reasonable compensation,
whether be be producer, dealer or com
mission man, but no one has a just
right to corner the market or hamper
prices by speculation or by wasteful dis
tribution. The town or city that per
mits wasteful and uneconomic distribu
tion is injuring itself by driving trade to
its competitors.
The greatest loss in marketing food
products is with perishable products
such as fresh fruits, vegetables, poultry,
eggs, butter and other products usually
marketed in small quantities and under
very unfavorable conditions, uiten
these articles of food constitute a large
per cent of the wealth of the country
surrounding the trading center, and the
loss not only deprives the producer of
this revenue, but it injures the trade
that would go to the town. Waste in
jures merchants more than any other
class although all classes of legitimate
business suffer because of it. Merchants
and other business men are dependent
upon this class of trading, and it is good
business to join in an effort to reduce
the waste. '
Much can be said of free municipal
markets, where producers and consum
ers may meet and arrange terms of sale.
These also belp the dealer, as he is able
to buy direct and sell without great ex
pense, thus reducing bis risk and saving
the consumer in unnecessary handling.
A town, like a rural community, is
just what its citizens make it. And it
will be just what the people that make
it are satisfied with. So long as there
are no competitors the town may permit
waste, but sooner or later progressive
competitors will rise, put economy, thrift
and modern enterprise into their busi
ness, and get the trade. To build tbj
town and make it a desirable place for
the most progressive people it must be
the best town, supplying the needs of
the country people who support it.

Great Opportunities for
Tennessee Teacher.
There are several featuresof the sum
mer school of the South which will be
of special interest to all Tennessee teach
ers. This, well known summer school
begins its thirteenth session at the Uni
versity of Tennessee, in Knoxville, on
June 23 and continues until July 21.
The courses offered this year embrace
the same wide range from kindergarten
to collegiate subjects which has charac
terized the school's work in the past.
Care is taken to provide expert instruc
tors in every field of study and many
distinguished educators from all sec
tions of the country will co-operate this
year. From all present indications the
forthcoming session promises to be" the
most successful one in the history of
the institution. , ; :
Three special features which are de
signed for the benefit of Tennesse teach
ers in particular are worthy of extend
ed notice.
The first is the new provision for re
view courses in the interest or inose
teachers who are preparing for the State
examinations. Under the new certifi
cate law of the State of Tennessee ex
aminations will be conducted at the sum
mer school of the South by the Super
intendent of Public Instruction on July
16 and 17. This examination will cover
all classes of certificates issued by the
State, namely, first and second grade
elementary certificates and first and sec
ond grade high school certificates.
In order to assist teachers in prepar
ing for these examinations, special re
view courses in the subjects of exam'
ination have been arranged for. These
courses will be conducted during the
first four weeks of the session, that is,
The Attraction.

Store. advt
up to the time set for the examination
The courses will be in charge of some
of the leading school men of the State,
Twenty-seven such courses are listed,
covering all phases of the elementary
and high school subjects of examina
tion. :.-
Students who enroll for these courses
pay but the regular registration fee and
are entitled to all the privileges of the
summer school.
A second feature for the benefit of
Tennessee teachers is the award of schol
arships in Agriculture. Home Econom
ics and Manual Training. These schol
arships exempt their holders from the
usual registration fee. Four scholar
ships in Agriculture are allotted to each
county of the State, one in Home TSce
ccznics and one in Manual Training to
each city and county superintendent of
the State for distribution. These schol
arships are for the benefit of those who
are preparing to teach tbese subjects in
the State of Tennessee, and the holders
are required to give the major portion j
of their time to the courses outlined un
der tbese several departments,
A third point of interest to the teach
ers of Tennessee is the fact that teach
ers' certificates will be renewed for a
period of one year by the State Super
intendent for all who attend the ses
sion and do satisfactory work in at least
three subjects. The summer school of
the South is recognized by the State
Superintendent of Public Instruction as
fulfilling all the functions of a State
institute.
Aside from these special features and
the numerous courses in other depart
ments which will appeal to all students,
there are many special attractions which
make the student life at the summer
school of the South of distinct interest.
The delightful surroundings of Knox
ville, the many interesting excursions,
the special conventions, conferences and
round tables, the popular lectures, re
citals, dramatic performances,' and the
music festival which will be conducted
with the assistance of the celebrated
Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra all
lend to the summer school of the South
a distinct charm and au opportunity for
culture such as is seldom realized in
any school.
With all these advantages the fees,
and living expenses are very moderate.
Every endeavor is made to afford th
teachers of the South the greatest pos
sible returns for their investment. Tho
large numbers who have availed them
selves of these opportunities in the past
is ample evidence that they have not
been disappointed.

Frledmann's Tuberculosis Treat
ment in City Hospitals
Requests for information in regard
to the results of the Friedmann tuber
culosis treatment bave led tbe Depart
ment of Health to ascertain the recent
status of seventy-seven cases treated at
the time of Dr. Friedmann ' visit to
New York. Of the seventy-seven pa
tients treated t nineteen could not be
found, while eleven were reported to

Tbe department was therefore able to
obtain reports on but forty-seven of tbo
cases in question. These reports show
that there are at present five of these
patients af borne; twenty-two are in
hospitals or sanatoria (indicating failure
to cure); seven are attending clinics
(showing the need of further treatment);
one is attended by a private physician,
and twelve bave died.
