Much interest has lately been arous-
ed in London by two surgical opera
tions which have resulted In a mark
ed change OF character in the patients.
Ono was that of a boy Of good family
who had developed strangely brutal
instincts. A clever surgeon examined
him with care. located what he con
sidered the seat of the trouble. remoy-
ed a piece OF the skull and thus re-
lieved the deformlng pressure. The
lad was restored to his parents a nor
NAL and lovable child. The other case
was that Of soldier. who after an
injury in skirmish. developed a pro-
pensity for theft An operation on the
brain cured him.

is sparing no pains to improve and
uplift this great band Of educational
workers.
It is a grand sight to see dotted here
and there, all over these beautiful
grounds little groups of teachers with
cheerful and animated faces discussing
the many problems a teacher has to
solve.
The library, the appal atus, in fact
everything has been thrown open to
the teachers, and they have nothing
to do but revel in this educational
treat to their hearts content.
The study of nature is being pre-
sented in new light by Prof. Opgar,
of New Jersey. He is an artist in
this special line of work and makes
us see possibilities in the hands of the
Mississippi teacher of which we never
dreamed. He is trying in these two
short weeks to enable us, without any
more help, to become better acquain-
ted with the Flora and Fanna of our
state. With all this beauty around us
we should be able to lead our pupils
to higher and nobler life through
this medium, if no other.
The lectures given by Prof. Fred
N. Scott, r. P. Caxton, G. H. Locke
and Drs. Murrah and Hamil are
among the finest productions of lit
erary thought. They make one feel
that teaching is profession of which
we may Justly feel proud

University, Miss, July 4.
Dear Mr.. May:
I thought perhaps some OF your
many readers would like to know
what Mississippi is doing for her
teachers this summer. In consequence
am going to beg small space in
which | may tell them of the many
fine opportunities offered by the State
to the teachers who wish to improve
themselves. In addition to what the
State has done Mrs. Fannie J. Ricks
of Yazoo City has for several years,
given large sums. Of money to this
summer scchool.
Supt. Whitfield is to be congratu-
lated on planning, and Carrying out,
the idea of having but one Normal in
the State. He and the Faculty here
have been ti1eless in their efforts to
make this Normal success. They
have succeeded beyond their most
sanguine hopes, for never before in
the history of the state has there been
such Normal
Already about roo teachers have been
enrolled, and more coming every day.
They have entered into the spirit of
the work with zeal and enthusiasm
which means for Mississippi's future
a revolution in school work. Not
only this, but their ideals and stand
ards will be raised SO much higher, it
means that the boys and girls who
now attend our public schools will be
broader minded and more intelligent.
Methods and practical work are be.
ing given in all courses from the kind
dergarten to the university.
The faculty, which has been selec-
ted from the best talent Of not only
our own state, but the United States,

it impossible to attend this normal

later in the summer. Probably they
can catch some of this spirit from the
teachers in the institute who were re-
quired by the state superintendent to
attend a special course given during
this school.
am sure the institutes will be on
q much higher order than ever before,
and Will last from two to four weeks
instead of one.
The Glorious Fourth passed very
quietly here today. Gov. Stands ad-
dressed "a very large audience at. II
O. clock on the questions of frural
schools. He suggests that in every
supervisors district we have one high
school, employing two or three teach
ers, instead Of little school at every
cross road. Of course this would
mean that more of our teachers would
have to attend training school of
SUIuO hllu, UuU tIldU lS 0AdClly Wudt
we want. We don't seem to realize
that our teachers are training our fu-
ture citizens, and how can they do it,
successfully, without first having had
some training themselves.
Another feature of today was the
raising of the Stars and Stripes over
the Woman's doTmitory.
Prof. Boudurant in his chaste man
ner, gave short description of CO.
education in the south and begged that
in the future the University might
have larger attendance than ever
before. The flag was drawn to the
high flag staff by all the women on
the ground and was very pretty
sight. In conclusion, I think we should
express our appreciation to- Supt.
Whitfield for all these advantages,
by again making him the head of the
educational work in Mississippi.
