The Summer Normals.

The State board of education has an
pounced the schedule for summer nor
mails, and has agreed upon some of the
normal conductors and institute con-
ductors.
The normals for whites will be at
Corinth, Oakland, Maber, Carthage,
Brandon, Poplarville, McComb City,
Gloster, Hebron, Hickory, Port Gibson,
Senatobia.
The colored normals will be at
Natchez, Vicksburg, Greenvine, Yazoo
City, Oxford, Hazlehurst.
Instead of the usual white normal at
Oxford, special term of the university
will run for six weeks, for the benefit
of teachers who wish to take advanced
studies.
The State board adopted resolution
positively forbidding all persons en-
ployed in the normals or institutes from
acting as agents or solicitors OF school
book companies.
"If there was anything of Importance to
the people of the State that came before
the recent session of the legislature it was
the question of better and cheaper sys-
TEN of text books for our public schools.
The present system is VIGOROUSLY deficient
and expensive"
This is the opinion of Editor Quinn of
Centreville Jeffersonian, who was
member of the house that expressed
the same opinion by vote OF nearly
two to one. In the meantime the
school patrons of the State will con-
tinue to pay heavy tribute to the school
book trusts. This question will doubt
less be leading issue in the election OF
the next legislature. Indeed it should
be thoroughly discussed before the
meeting of the 1902 special session OF
the present legislature.
Prof. w. c. Welborn has shown the
Starkville Times medal awarded his
Younger brother, Lieut.. Ira c. Weloorn,
by congress for gallantry on the battle
field at Santiago, Cuba, July 2, 1898.
The awarding of the medal is dis
tiuction which few soldiers of the war
with Spain enjoy, there being only four
piven to men in the army and few to
officers and sailors in the navy. Lieut..
Welborn was also promoted from Sec
ond lieutenant, and he is now in the
Philippines. He is a Jones county
