okoLoNA INDUsrRIAL oollEol

The following is an extract from a
recent speech made By President
Wallace A. Battle Of the Okolona In
dustriaI College on IndustriaIism:
lndu0triaIism as It pertains to the
OkolOna Industrial College may be ex-
planned as follows: In the first place
the teachers must take the medicine
they prescribe. I mean they must
teach the students in literary work
largely BY knowing; in industrial work
largely by doing. Il isn wonder that
90 many negro boys and girls come out
Of our schools 80 poorly trained.
These young people are too often
copying the lives Of ignorant and im-
moral teachers on the one hand, and
laziness and false pride on the othor.
"NO student, however brainy he
may be, can be trained in books under
an illiterate teacher; and no student,
however many theories on doing
things may be poured ont before him,
win believe It is honorable and enno-
bling to work with hands so long as be
never sees the teacher without his
high collar or with bis hands dirty
Right here is found much Of the him
derance in the development Of our
race. II the teacher Is lazy, fun Of
false pride, and thinks It belittling bis
profession to ploW corn, TO use The
spade. to saw wood, to see after the
sewerage, (or In case Of q woman) II
she teaches cooking as Tar from the
stove as possible, washing without
water end soap, and scrubbing IN silks,
the student viii almost invariably
act as be was taught, /. e., try 70 stay
as far IS possible from work. The
student Of my race, after 81, believe
what be is taught by example n Col
legs. Divorce him from manual labor
IN College and Il Is safe to say he viii
not 50 back to Il, not even under
law Of oompulsion,"
81 am very glad that the great ma
iority Of my people, who think, are
growing tired Of Incidence aud sham.
Reality is nov echoed from every
quarter. am very glad also that the
best white people Of the South are
openly and earnestly, and IN Christ
Ike spirit, helping us to rise. White
people Of the South have given more
cash money for cur uplift in this insti-
tuition than Northern white people;
end they oughtto do 50, for this Col
lege is destined not only TO put teach

els Ia our school but also better larm-

The following letter is from one of

everything that is for the advance
ment OF the state and should be read
with interest by bis many friends.
Jackson, Miss, June 18th, 1904.
EDITOR MESSENGER:
] read with q great deal Of pleasure
Of the action Of the Ohickasaw County
Board Of Supervisors in awarding con-
tracts for improving the county roads.
The necessity for good roads is admit
ted BY everybody, and 1t is hardly
saying too much that thorough sys-
tenn Of good roads, reaching into every
neighbOrhoodi viii result in as great
benefit to the citizens Of the county as
an additional railroad.
It lie not my intention to pen an
essay on good roads, but only through
your valued columns to make a sug-
gestion as to the permanent bridging
Of the smaller streams Of the county
crossing the public roads.
In the Eastern portions Of Tennessee
and Kentucky, where the streams
from the mountains are frequent, q
system is in vogue in many places OF
culvertlng these streams instead OF
erecting wooden bridges ever them.
Dirt is thrown into the bed Of the
stream and raised to the level Of the
banks, Of sufficient width to resist the
action Of the water, thus continuing
the road across The stream without
any bridge. One or more large drain
age pipes are inserted IL this embark
ment sufficient n capacity to carry OF
the stream.
The initial cost Of this plan would Be
little more than the cost Of erecting 8
wooden bridge, whilst the work once
done-and well done-will last forever.
Chickasaw hes q number Of small
streams crossing her public roads, and
I believe her Board Of Supervisors
would cot wisely IN 81 least expert
menting IN 8 few places with the
above outlined plan. Il g proves
successful u would ultimately save
the county many thousand dollars Ia
bridge bnilding. HEEnY b. IACEx.
