The clarion. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1883-1888, 1884-04-09

EDIT lRs CLARION With pardonable
pride many towns in the State are vieing
with each other to obtain the location of
the Industrial Institute We feel assured
that no sectional prejudice will influence
the selection of the site by the very efficient
board OF trustees.
The success OF the Institute will depend
much on the President aud corps OF in
structors. We are glad to see that The
CLARION favors women for Instructors OF
women. We think that half of women's
incapacity, as sex, for business lives, Is
the fault of education. Her teacher is
principally men who do not understand hsr
wants.
We will need the best talent to bnild up
the embryo Institute. We must have il,
even ii We have to 60 abfoad for it. No
personal, political, or sectarian influence
>should have any weight in the selection of
instructors. Be assured whoever is APP
pointed will be vigorously scrutiuized BY
the friends of the Institute, who are anxious
for its success, and its eneLlies will lie in
wait to pick plans and to throw obstacles
in Its path.
We hope our Art School will be estab-
lished as soon as possible A writer in the
Country Magazine gives the following in
formation about the Art School Of Cooper
Institute, n. Y: Besides learning pro-
feSsion at the very time they are studying,
half of the pupils wholly or partly support
themselves by teaching, designing, engrav-
ing on wood, and other artistic oceupa-
tiOns. The annual report OF this year shows
that the present pupils and last years grad
uates have earned between S2z 900 and
$2S,o00, while probably of $4,000 more
earnings no account has been given.
