OPEN LETTER No. 2.

To parents and pupils The
teacher will soon get your home
character. The children will give
that away. Or, how quickly the
home training will show itself.
How we shudder as these indexes
Of our home character rise before
US. If we have controlled and
taught our children properly at
home, the rule is the teacher will
have little trouble if that teacher
be at all competent, If we take
part against the teacher we put our
children beyond the teachers con
troll.
The children must be controlled
by combined influence at home
and at school. The parents and
teachers are partners in building the
future good CT bad for the child,
ard no partnership can succeed
when all the members are not in
harmony. Children, to be a sue
cess, must be taught SUBMISSION and
obedience to authority. Education
without this is simply sham.
Thus endeth the second open let.
ter. The only house in Central
Texas that can furnish your home
complete is the Waco Trading Co.

Teachers-D5 you realize that
your work, low teginnlng, is the
most solemn, most responsible, most
grave ever committed 20 man or
woman? The success or failure, in
a moral, intellectual and business
sense is largely dependent upon the
compxexion these boys and girls,
small and large, receive from you.
Your morals, your methods, your
way of doing things. will be i'm.
printed upon these children. If
you feel no more interest in the
charge you have than simply your
money-your salary--then you are
a TRAITOR and an enemy to your
calling and country and the child
rem you try to rEAcH-will simply be
HEARD-not really taught. Doyoo
use slang? DO you know anything
of REFINEMENT? Do you ever use
language in the school room which
would be unfit for parlor of re-
fined ladies and gentlemen? Ii so,
you are not fit for teacher, you
are simply an educated brute.
The children take your photo
EVERY DAY. They will Judge you
correctly. If you want the respect
and obedience of your school, keep
in order yourself. Treating the
child like brute will not benefit
the child or your school. Keep
your TEMPER. Keep book. Put
down all misbehavior and punish at
noon or recess-never during school
hours. Be a GENTLEMAN or GEN

The telegraph wires are still demoralized and
reports are coming In slowly from the storm
districts and 1t will be several days before the
full extent Of the disaster will be known.
The death list foots up to eighteen, while the
list OF injured will run up into the hundreds.
The majority OF those killed and injured are
negroes.
The first heard OF the cyclone was In North

houses and uprootlng giant forest trees. The
path of the storm wac about half n mile wide,
and nothing was left standing In Its track.
The first fatality occurred near Shaws STA
tion, Mississippi, where the house of Drury
Sumral, prosperous and Industrious colored
farmer, was leveled to the ground, killing
the entire family Of nine people. The cyclone
passed through the suburbs Of shaw's station
and demolished several residences and small
stores, hut no one was killed
The hurricane then changed It's course
slightly and travelled the right of way OF
fazoo Il Mississippi Valley railroad until 1t
entered Cleveland, Mississippi, M.sl the
school buildings, several houses and stores
were RACED TO the ground. No fatalities oc-
CURED at Cleveland, but several people were
struck by flying tlmbers and more or less In
jured.
Leaving Cleveland the cyclone passed with
In mile OF Clarksdale, a town OF 1000 In
habtants, and next struck Tunica, the county

in the place was wrecked. The newly COM
plcted courthouse went down before the
Winds fury. The colored school building
was wrecked and over thirty children maImct.
As the cyclone left Tunica II divided, one
portion travelling In anortheastery direction,
while the other took northwesterly course,
and again crossed the Mississippi river !nto
Arkansas, where It spread ruin through three
counties.
The towns of Charlottesville aid Vincent
were nearly wiped OF the face OF the earth,
and the storm then took northeasterly
course, reaching Kelly, Mississippi, about 4
o'clock In the afternoon. Here the greatest
damage was done. Six people were killed
outright and scores injured. Not a building
was left standing, the fragments being
strewn over the country for miles. The dam
