ln addition, the Industrial College
gives free htition in the modem languages,
class singing aud drawing, for which
the parent pays extra in WhitwOrth
I College Besides all this, the Industrial
( College gives free instruction in book
keeping, telegrspby, phouography type
writing printing, free.hand drawing,
designing, cutting and making garments :
and all this is at less cost than she
/ regular collegiate charges in other Coli
leges Of good grade. Besides, out Of
this, the parent or guardian pays only
1862 per month - against $3.50 else.
where This is the exact showing. !
think from Ihe catalogue Of Whitw0rth
College, that lights are extra, At least
they are not declared to be embraced in
the item of Sl2 per month for board
In using these figures | have no purpose
to injure Whitworth College. only
quote from the catalogue of l883-'SI to
show the erroneous exhibit made by
"Wo0l Hat ! do not think the charges
OF Whitworth College are unreasonable
lie writesI Of Cooper Institute
Buena Vista Normal College, North
Mississippi Normal College, and other
private educational institutions equal in
efficiency aud superior in merit TO any
I thing the State can boast for even less
l amount
/ Now if these are the real views of the
writer why does he not patronize one Of
these institutions? is he not now patron.

/ fact that the State can issue scholar
ships to all its College students, pay
/ their transportation to Yale or Har.
ward and the regular tuition charged at
| those farfamed institutions Of learning,
aud save money. From this it appears
that "Wool Hat is proud OF "Yale
and Harvard, those farfamed iustitu-
| tions of learning" but he is not proud Of
any of his own States institutions and
does not intend they snail ever be any
thing to be proud of if he can prevent it,
Wool Hat certainly makes Il great mis-
take here.
We have ut the A. & NJ College

AT the University the average atten.
dance for several successive years has
been about 800 pupils. Mr., II. NJ. Sui
Ivan, who is an accurate calculator,
says the total necessary expense per
pupil need not exceed $lS500 per ses
sion; Suppose we put the average &C
tual expense of student at the Uni
versity of Mississippi at $4,000
300 student at 5000 each sec, 600
Appropriation by the State......S32 500
Total by State and patrons. .S92, 800
The total expense of these two insti-
tutions to Mississippians is not more
than $l69, 500 for educating 7e0 young
men annually, Now what is the aver
age cost at Harvard? From the best
information can get, j. is about 500
per year
700 students at 500 each...,.Si90, 900
If we put the ayerage cost at
Harvard at S500each, we get. $3.50, 900
So instead of getting 700 young men
instructed annually for $l69, 500 the
State would have to pay by adopting
Wool Hats plan $350, 900. This is poor
way to make money, No State in the
United States can boast of cheaper coll
legiate education than Mississippi, The
figures and facts prove this am proud
OF our own institutions, CITIZEN.
