Thuxsdat. Mat 6, 1915. THE CONFERENCE AT CHATA NCOGA, TENN. The generosity of the press mast ns Va imnAau nnnn qa ftiia KTiM"t. ust be brief, almost as brief as that of the Irish conductor's l(ofi gain, od again, gone again Flan nagan." Of coarse, the trip was delight fol from beginning to close over the Southern by way of Asheville, Knoxville and Morristo wn to Chat tanooga. The Conference opened Tuesday norning and closed Friday night. The morning sessions from 9-11, and those in the afternoon from J:30-4:30 were held in the Assem bly Hall, Criminal, Circuit anl Chancery court rooms of the new Hamilton county court house; the 11-12 session in the First Baptist hurch, just across the street from the court house; the eveniug ses ion from 8-12 in the City Audi ditorium, near the Terminal Sta tion. The court house of Tenne ssee marble and fire proof, has just been completed; the church, a mas aive but beautiful structure, was built in 1888 and has for its pas tor a North Carolinian, Rev. W, F. Powell (his wife is a charming helper, and was formerly Miss Winnie Pattoo, daughter of Rev. Logan Patton of Morgan tou); the Auditorium is spacious but does not compare favorably with ours at Raleigh. The object of the Conference was to unite all the forces bearing on educational problems, single and in their relations to social condi tions. To this end all former con ferences were united. The Con ference is now composed of a small number of working bodies, each with its committee and program The reports from the Chairmen of these committees are used to for mulate the plans and policies of the Conference. The Southern schools have more than fifty thousaud untrained teachers. How to train these while they are still at work in the schools, and keep the army replenished, is the greatest problem that taxes the alert superintendent. Plans for this are formulated by the com mittee on School Superintendence, composed of the most active and successful superintendents, county and city, known in the South, and and these plans are fully discussed at the Conference. Following ar,e a few of the questions discussed: "What are the primary and sec ondary aims of the elementary school. To what extent shall we endeavor to adopt the course of study and activities to the special needs, conditions, capacities, and home activities of the pupils. How shall we determine these special needs. What are the irre ducible common elements which have a place in all elementary courses of study. What home ac tivities of the student should have recognition by the school. What should be the relation of the coun try teacher to the home and ex tension work in agriculture and home making. What educational relation may exist between the school and the community in dustrial life. What definition of the term 'school' will best embody oar present ideals." All the above ere taken from the first day's program. The entire four-days program should be published for the benefit of desiring teachers, but it would make this article too long. The working bodies of this Con : ference are: The Southern Educa tional Council, The Southern In dustrial Council, The Artisan's Conference, The Rural Society Sur rey, Country Church donfeience, Conference of Teacher Training, -The College Conference, The Lib rary Conference, Superintendence Conference, Conference of South era Women, The Grain Growers' Conference, Conference of BeeCul- vture, ' The Fruit Growers' Confer ence, The Live Stock Conference, and The Conference for Colored ; Teachers. One very . important conference I was about to leave out was Conference on Marketing. Each of these working bodies was ably presided over and well at tended. I saw very little of any of them except those of supervision and teacher training. After 4:30 each afternoon and from 6-9 each morning we had much pleasure and profit in visit ing historical battle grounds and other places of interest about the city. One evening we visited Chickamanga Park and Missionary Ridge, another evening Lookout Mountain, going up the incline and returning by surface line. Other places of interest visited were National Cemetery, Orchard Knob (Grant's headquarters), Cameron Hill and Riverview. On this last named trip I spoke of Lenoir, N. C. when an old colored man rushed up with his hat in hand and said "Souse me boss, bnt did you say youa're. from LenoitY Give my love to Maj. Harper and tell him you saw Joe Haxper." The old man said he had a little borne and plenty to eat but not enough to spare to make a trip back home. I must not ask any more space, but have much to tell the people during the next thirty years. Y. D. Moore. Cbambarlain'i Liniment. This preparation it intended espe cially for rheumatism, lame back, sprains and like ailments. It is a favorite with people who are well ac quainted with its splendid qualities. Mrs. Charles Truner, Wabash, Ind., says of it, "I have found Chamber lain's Liniment the best thing for lame back and sprains I have ever used. It works like a charm and re lieves pain and soreness. It has been used by others of my family as well as myself for upwards of twenty years." 25 and SO cent bottles. For sale by all dealers. The German Submarines and torpedo boats are very active again and have recently sunk a number of English and French vessels, also one United States oil steamer, the Gulflight. The American vessel left Port Ar thur, Taxas, on April 10th with a cargo of oil for Rouen, France, and was struck by a German tor pedo near the Scilly Islands last Saturday. The captain of the oil steamer died of heart failure, from the shock and two seamen jumped overboard and were drowned. The matter is being investigated and the report on the affair is anxiously awaited. It is thought by some persons to have been a mistake on the part of the German craft, whose officers thought they were at tacking an enemies vessel. Whole Family Dependent. Mr. E. William, Hamilton, Ohio, writes: "Our whole family depend on Pine-Tar-Honey." Maybe some one in your family has a severe Cold perhaps it is the baby.

The Southern Railway was granted permission last week by the Corporation Commission to discontinue four more of its pas senger trains within the state, two between Raleigh and Golds boro and two between Salisbury and Hickory. The last two are 15 and II, the trains that brought the early morning papers into Hickory and which reached Le noir on the morning train. Light business was the reason the Company asked to lay off the trains. Mas Takes His Own Medicine Is An Optimist.

Ia celebration of his 5th birth day Master . St. John Bingham gave a party to his little friends Saturday afternoon at the home of his parents, Dr. and Mr. G. P. Bingham. Invitations cuce and bearing the following lines had been sent out: "Come to my Zoo' You are hereby invited. When I see you I shall be most delighted. And with one accord those bidden delighted the little host and themselves. Upon arrival they found quite a menagerie of harmless lions, Bears, elephants and other animals hidden in leafy nooks of the mimic jungle, boldly alert where white snow balls and white violets peeped timidly out and shed a sweet fragrance, among other pleas ures for the afternoon. There was a prize given to the boy or girl who found the most animals hidden away in the jungle, the lucky one being Miss Hopie Melton. A silver picture case containing the picture of the young host. During the hour of merry making, lemonade was served from a all cool well by Miss Ruth White, dressed as Rebeca an ice well.
