PROGRAM
Grenada College Closes Its Fifty
Second School Year.
SERMONS AT N. {. CHURCH TOMORROW
Class Day on nonday, Followed in
the Evening by Concert-Grad-
uating Exercises Tuesday.

The fifty-Second annual commence
ment of Grenada College begins to-
morrow morning at IL O'Clock, wnen
the Rev. w. B. Murrah, president OF
Millsap college of Jackson, will deliver
the commencement sermon at the
Methodist church, followed at 8 O'Clock
by a sermon before the Epworth Lea
que by the Rev. John w. Boswell, u.
D.. editor of the Christian Advocate
of New Orleans. Every one who can
possibly arrange to attend b com
mencement exercises, from first 10 laSt,
should, The Sentinel believes, do so.
Not ONLY would they be interested IN
what is given, but their presence o
lend inspiration to those eXpendlhg
much time and energy, and, IN some
some instances, money to build up u
more firmly establish in Grenada a
school that will command the patron
age of those who desire genuine edu-
cation and board culture. Already
does this institution stand for both OF
these. a fact which is rapidly becOm-
ing known throughout the land, as a
consequence of which many OF h hrSU
families are placing their daughters IN
the school, where they can expect The
hest results educationally, with aSSur-
ance that their expectations VIII De
fully realized. ,
In this connection let it be said that
Grenada should continue to advance
the interests of this educational lnStl-
tuition, for every forward step taken
by the college makes returns, directly
or indirectly, to Grenada. Any agency
that puts money into circulation IN a
community increases the capacity tO
nav debts, and where more money is
found. there money is more easily earn
ed. This school emptieS annually IN
to the commercial lap of Grenada some
thing like $40, 900. Again II educa'
ton means anything, it signifies al
vancement and progress, and hence ltS
influence is beneficial. During the
year now nearing its close under aus
picious circumstances, l23 boarding
and Sc local pupils were enrolled. Inc
Sentinel fears the local patronage Il
not so large as it should be. BY this
statement no diSparagement OF oul
excellent public schools is intended
But is the encouragement, benefit ant
help given Grenada college by The
town as reciprocal as 1T should De
Could we as a community not do NOR
to keep it's wheels turning IN the paul
of progress? Our citizens should be
come more thoroughly acquainted VIII
the work the school is purpoSing an
doing. and should show faith in 1t
worthy efforts by proclaimlng IL
merits.
