The old SAYING that one must 60
from home to learn the news finds
yerifcation in the following from
the Newark (N. J) News ancnt the
purchase Of the Delta tract of land
by Stuyyesnt Fish and his company
Of New York capitalists. This New
Jersey paper says that 'theu pur-
pose is to show the South the posi-
bilities of agriculture there, and thus
inaugurato and foster a movement
which will greatly enhance the pros
perity of the rural communities, .
We have an idea GALL our own, of
course) that before the experiment
reaches conclusion the South-or a
certain Delta portion of the South
will teach Mr.. Fish & Co. not only
the possibilities Of agriculture, but
certain probabilities and facts! And
while we freely and gladly accord to
Mr.. Fish and the others Of the great
Illinois Central Railroad full credit
for the great things they have done
for Mississippi. we are compelled to
state our belief to be that it is with
this great farm as it was with that
great road-not so much a matter Of
philanthropy as Of dollars and sense
dollars" to overflow already bulg-
ing pockets and Sense enough to
know that there is no smer money
maker than big Delta cotton plan
tation (at this stage Of the game
in the cotton business), with ample
funds to equip and run it and en-
able its owners to sell cotton when
it seemetR best to them and their
bank accounts. So, while we well
come Mr.. Fish and company to Mis-
sissippi, it is not in the guise of a
philanthropist or teacher, but Of a
shrewd business man and a capital
list; and, better than that, as a gem
tleman.

one Of our grand army of teachers
Will give a part Of the summer va
cation to study along special lines
at the great training schools and in
tellectual centers Of our country.
The efforts -oftentimes the sacri-
iiees-that these young men and
women make to fit themselves intel
ligently for lseir work prove their
deep interest and honest intentions,
and thus they cannot be commended
beyond their deserts. We note in
the Columbus Commercial, Just now
before us, that half dozen Of the
teachers from the Industrial College
leave this week to begin the sum
mer's work. Some 60 to New York
for special instruction; others for
/ the summer term at Pratt Institute,
and two for Boston, where they will
take up the summer course at IIar-
yard. Of course, there are others
who will leave home later, to under
take similar work. As is the case
with this splendid faculty, SO it is
with most of our other institutions
Of learning, which are sending their
teachers forth to learn as well as 10
teach This is a great thing for the
substantial growth Of our schools.
1t not only keeps Mississippi
abreast Of the times and gives her
thousands Of students the very best
that may be had, but it keeps the
teachers alert and eager to learn all
that others in like position know,

Of "School Concerts, CLOSING Ex-

ternating with hundreds of "Person-
ais, announcing the return of the
lads and lassies from school. To
one who has given the subject atten-
ton, there is great cause for sahsfac-
ton in the fact that ten or fifteen
years ago, ninety-nine girls out Of a

time came to go off to school. " This
was true Of a great many boys also.
Now, however, it is the exception to
read of either boy or girl going be-
yond the borders Of our own State

ing from this improved condition of
affairs is beyond imagining. 1t is
better for the State, for the schools
