The following, from The Nashville
Tennessean of July 20th, will prove
of great interest to The Sun’s many
readers :
By VIRGINIA N. PARMER
“I bought the first safety bicycle
that I ever saw,” said John Iverson
Allman superintendent of schools
of Hartwell, Ga., who is spending
the summer at Peabody College. “It
was a second-hand bicycle, and
priced at S3O. I bought it on what
the ante bellum negro called the ex
tortion plan.
“I rode that possession of mine
through the streets of Nashville
dressed in a spike-tailed coat and a
little, narrow-brimmed brown derby.
Those were the days before knick
ers for men—when knickers for
women were undreamed of. But I
remember that my trousers were not
quite long enough. I was 19 years
old then, and had grown several
inches since the trousers were
bought. Also I wore a very high
collar, the open in front variety,
and all these, things made me very
attractive to those who enjoyed see
ing sights.
“Sometimes I traveled with great
dignity on my bicycle, but frequent
ly, in coming down your steep hills,
I became a regular John Gilpin—
though unintentionally—-and the
books that contained all my learn
ing were scattered broadcast to be
picked up by the innocent bystand
ers.”
Mr. Allman was a student at Pea
body College 28 years ago, and is
back in Nashville this summer with
his wife and children, and is taking
work again at the same old stand,
only it isn’t quite the same old
stand.
“Little Idiot” Degree.
In 1898, Mr. Allman received the
L. I. degree at Peabody College.
This degree, which is now out of
date, was Licentiate of Instruction,
but to the students the initials stood
for “Little Idiot” degree. However,
in those days, practically every
Southern state gave a license to
teach to men and women with this
degree, and it usually guaranteed a
good position.
“The extensiveness of the present
plan and plant of Peabody College
is what impresses me now,” said
Mr. Allman, “and also the difference
in pedagogy. I remember so well
how, in the old days, emphasis was
laid on teaching the pupil to be a
well-rounded man, while now the
emphasis'is laid on specialization.
“There is quite a difference in me,
too,” said Mr. Allman, “physically,
any way. When I left Peabody in
1898, the doctors told me that I
would be in my grave within two
months.
“They said that I had tuberculo
sis. And this afternoon, 26 years
later, I was out on the athletic field
making the 100-yard dash, putting
the shot and climbing the rope, and
also doing a turn at basketball. Un
fortunately, my name begins with
an A, so I am always one of the
first to be called on to perform,
and that means a full hour of stren
uous exercise.”
Mr. Allman is a native Tennes
sean, coming from Cumberland City.
The first time that he came to
Nashville it was by boat, and he
walked a few blocks up Broad street
from the wharf, and had “seen
Nashville.”
The next time he came to the
capital city was to enter Peabody
College, having won a scholarship
in a competitive examination.
He never had ridden on a street
car, then, so wasted much time in
trying to get one to stop to take
him on. Finally, he happened to be
at a corner when a Fairfield car
stopped to let some one on who
knew that cars stop only at corners,
and then “our hero from the great
outdoors” got on, too.
“I wasn’t the only country green
horn at Peabody College in those
days,” Mr. Allman declared with a
broad grin on his thin face and a
corresponding twinkle in his keen
blue eyes. “It was generally con
ceded that this was the right de
scription for most of us, and the
town people’s name for us was
‘Pea Turkey.’
There Were No Flappers.
“Yes, there were co-eds in those
days. That was practically all there
were. Well, I mean yes, there were
no flappers in those days. Well,”
and Mr. Allman reconsidered, “in
those days the flapper was an ex
ception, while she is the rule to
day-
“I’ll never forget my first two
days at Peabody. When I arrived at
the South Campus on my first
street car. I went to the largest
stone building and walked into the
lobby, and then waited. I had never
gone anywhere to school except in
the country and teachers there al
ways came around and told students
what to do.
“But no one spoke to me in this
strange place, not even to say ‘How
dy’! I went back to my boarding
house for mid-day dinner, and then
returned to the college and the lob
by in the afternoon, and stood
around —and still no one spoke to
me. .
“Then the next morning I repeat
ed the process, but this time, one
of the students came up to me. ‘I
saw you here yesterday,’ he said.
‘Are you looking for some one?
Maybe I can help you.’ ‘No,’ I an
swered, ‘I just want to get in col
lege, but don’t know how.’
“Then I was advised to see Dr.
Purinton in Lindsey Hall. Just
then Dr. Purinton came by—in a
hurry and dressed in a frock coat.
He was pointed out to me, so I
started after him. When he reach
ed the door to his outer office in
Lindsey Hall, I was close behind
him. He started to close the door
but I got my hand on the door so
he couldn’t close it. He did not look
around—just went on and I fol- ,
lowed. He opened the door to his ,

O r
inner office and went in and start
ed to close that door also, but
again my hand went out in time to
prevent it. Again he gave no sign
that he had seen me. He went over
to his desk and seated himself in
his revolving chair.
“Then—‘What do you want?’ he
shot out at me.
“I replied that I wanted to enter
college.
“ ‘Why are you late?’ was his next
question.
“I explained that I had been
teaching to pay my way to college,
and that the school has just let
out.
“ ‘Have you stood your entrance
examination?’ was his third ques
tion.
“I replied that I didn’t know that
I had to as I had won a scholar
ship in a competitive examination.
“Then he told me to go to the
business office.
‘Where is that?’ I asked.
“ ‘lf you don’t know enough to go
to the business office, you don’t
know enough to go to college,’ was
his final comment.
“Then'a tall young man who had
come into the room said:
“ ‘Young man? I am going to the
business office and I’ll be glad to
go with you over there and show
you what to do.’
“He did, and stayed with me un
til I was through there, and then
went with me to the office of the
chancellor.
“That kindly guide was Dr.
Charles E. Little, who is now an
important figure in greater Pea
body.
“My schedule was made out at
the chancellor’s office. He also
was kind and helpful and by the
time I left his office I had begun
to pick up a little courage. So I
asked one of the boys what a fel
low had to do to get in a class.
First Class In Latin.
“I was told, and my first class
was in Latin, taught by Prof. John
L. Lampson. In those days also
having my name begin with the
first letter of the alphabet was a
handicap.
“Professor Lampson has an orig
inal way of asking questions. That
afternoon he started with me.
“ ‘Mr. Allman,’ he said, ‘what do
I want to know about best?’
“ ‘Good Scott, man, I’m no mind
reader,’ was my retort.
“ ‘Where did you come from?’
was the astonished counter.
“ ‘I live back here in the coun
try,’ I replied.
“ ‘You look it!’ he sniffed, and
the class broke out into a ha! ha!
‘Class, isn’t he a good one?’ was
Professor Lampson’s final contri
bution of the day about me.
“And I would gladly have pulled
i his hair then if he had had any,
and I was ready to leave college,
though I’d only been there two
minutes. I learned to like Profes
sor Lampson later.
Learns To Like Peabody.
“Os course, you understand, my
impressions of Peabody those first
two days grew out of my own
‘greenness’ and not out of actual
conditions at the college. And be
fore I had been there a month you
could not have pried me away from
Peabody.
“For instance, there was my
first impression of Dr. Purinton.
Yet, no man ever lived that I have
had a higher regard for. He was
a big-hearted, whole-souled man,
who always wanted to see that
people who needed help got it.
His sense of humor was strong,
and his ability to size up people
was marvelous. I was ill for a
month during my second year at
Peabody, and Dr. Purinton, who
was also a physician, came to see
me regularly twice a day and
looked after me like a father.
“Then there was former Chan
’ cellor William H. Payne. He was
revered by the entire student body.
He commanded both respect and
admiration. His attitude was one
of fatherly interest in the students
and he frequently addressed the
student body as ‘my children.’
“I don’t believe that there is an
institution of learning in the South
I that has influenced for good the
life of the South as has old Pea
body. It did a wonderful educa
tional work at a time when very
little work of that type was being
done. It reached the young life at
a time when it counted.
“No, I don’t know that many of
the men in my class have become
distinguished since. Most of the
characters were like me—very me
diocre. But two of them, I remem
ber. I disliked exceedingly: One
H. H. Elders, who is now a candi
date for governor of Georgia, and
the other, Willard F. Bond, who is
state superintendent of schools of
Mississippi. They both were court
ing the girl I was courting.”
Again there was a twinkle in Mr.
Allman’s eyes.
“Oh. I won,” he said. “She’s
Mrs. Allman.”

KEEPING THE BOY ON THE
FARM
One of the farmer’s most difficult
problems has been the keeping of
the boy on the farm. It seems to be
human nature that as soon as a boy
arrives at young manhood, the city
appeals very strongly to him. By
the time he has reached twenty years
of age he has decided to desert the
farm, go to the city, enjoy life and
above all make lots of money in
a short time.
When he gets to the city he finds
that things are not just as he had
them pictured. He is required to
start in on a job at the bottom and
oftentimes he becomes discouraged
and settles down to a very ordinary
life of meager means without the
possibilities of the independent life
which were afforded him had he re
mained on the farm.
When conveniences of electric
light and power, of running water,
a modern bathroom and labor sav
ing devices of all kinds have been
installed on the farm it is found
that the boys are much more con
tent to stay and carry on the work
for which their early training has
fitted them.

Respectfully,
L. N. ADAMS, Clerk,
■ Board of Commissioners, Hart Co.
For Representative
To the Voters of Hart County
Having stated through this paper
that my formal announcement would
appear later for the State Legis
lature, I respectfully announce my
self a candidate of Hart county, sub
ject to the democratic primary, which
will be held in the 10th day of Sep
tember, 1924.
I shall stand upon the following
measures and principles to become
a law:
Whenever a candidate offers for
office, if he or she should trade or
swap off, either the candidates them
selves or through their friends, di
rectly or indirectly, during their can
didacy or campaign either in pri
maries or vacancies or otherwise in
order to win, such person or persons
shall be guilty of a misdemeanor.
I am in favor of good roads, but
it should be done with less discrim
ination. The County Board ought
to change the plan or system to make
the work more general over the
county. The Board ought to consist
of three strong members of finance
to meet at their convenience and one
Commissioner elected by a vote of
the people; said change not t<» be
made until ratified by a majority vote
of the people at some general elec
tion to save the expense of holding
the election for that purpose. This
plan or system would meet an equit
able and just demand of the tax
out by the finance board should be
payers throughout the county.
I favor all contracts made or let
done at public out-cry before the
court house door and supplies pur
chased for the county should be done
likewise at a certain per cent. The
secret bids should be done away with
and a monthly report to the home
paper of the financial standing.
I favor reduction in taxes, but
not to be inconsistent by asking for
more bonds that will increase more
taxes. ,
I favor a cut price in automobile
tag tax, and the tags to be purchas
ed at the court house of each coun
ty in the State.
I want to do my utmost to help
regulate the book trust companies.
I favor free school books to chil
dren, provided the parents will make
affidavit that they have not the mon
ey nor cannot obtain it to buy text
books.
I want to help regulate the Geor
gia law of proceedure of comdemna
tion of property. Too much confis
cation of money and property and
no punishment to the violator of
the whiskey laws.
I favor each and every member
of the legislature, while attending
the General Assembly shall make a
full report every week to the local
papers of his home county, whether
he has been attending the legisla
ture sessions and how he voted on
all important measures.
I am opposed to political manipu
lations, creating rings, cliques, mak
ing slates to defeat the wishes of
the people.
I shall appreciate the support and
nfluence of each and every voter in
he county. Respectfully,
J. A. McDUFF.
