Must Teach Agriculture.

jackson, Miss, Feb. 8. State
Superintendent of Education
Whitfield has submitted to Attor-
ney-General Williams the ques-
ton as to whether about one
thousand school teachers in this
State who hold five year licenses
must stand examinations when
the Elements Of Agriculture are
added to the curriculum of the
public schools, and the teachers of
the State will await his decision
in the matter with a great deal Of
interest. The legislature of 1904
ordered this subject taught in the
public schools, and the teachers
will have to 60 to studying up, as
it is to be added to the curriculum
next October. The decision of
the Supreme Court in the Carroll
county case as to civil govern
ment may settle the matter as to
the exempt teachers maybe not.

under the circumstances would be
for the plaintiff to consent TO post

the statute, if a case be entered into
by Thursday before the regular day
of adjournment of a term, the trial
