Again refer to the most gratifying
reports which reach me concerning
the district Institutes being held
throughout the state. The programs
and round table topics presented by
the county superintendent are net
only interesting but very practical ard
seem to be arousing the people every

their relationship TO the educational
affairs in their respective comnuni-
ties. Ii once the citizens of this state
get thoroughly aroused on the sub
ject of better schools we will see a
wonderful change, and that time is
coming soon. We are ready for it and
need it.
In connection with the district ir-
stitutes, the reading circle course
should be made prominent. Teachers
should be appointed to give review
of certain chapters of the books pre-
scribed, and this followed by a general
discussion will make a very profitable
exercise. From what learn Hamil
tons Recitation" is proving very
helpful to our teachers, and the many

Sensation at Kosciusko.

Following his arrest Monday on a
charge Of attempted criminal assault
on Miss Sonnie Presley, and threats
Of summary punishment by relatives Of
the young woman, Major George l.
Teat, prominent lawyer and member
of Gov. Vardaman staff, left Kosci-
usko this morning on the northbound
train.
His immediate departure from Kos
ciusko and Mississippi was demanded
at mass meeting Of 300 leading citi-
liens Monday night. Strong resolu-
tons warning Major Teat to quit the
country and never return were passed
at the indignation meeting and copy
was sent TO the lawyer. He agreed
to leave on the first train.
Major Teat was considered to be
one Of the leading members of the
Mississippi bar. He had been pro-
minent in state military circles for
years.
Miss Presley is a beautiful young
woman who for several years has
been prominent in society circles in
that section Of the state. She is an
orphan and lives with her brother-in-
law, DR.. j. H. Love.
Last week Major Teat engaged
Miss Presley as stenographer in his
law office. Monday passers-by were
startled by cries for help from the at
torney's Office. Rushing in, they found
Miss PRESLEY fainting, with her cloth
es disarranged. Major Teat stood at
one side
Sheriff j. D. Black took charge Of
Teat and he was later released on
81 900 bond.
DR.. Love, backed by number Of
friends, started out for Teat after the
latter's release from custody, with the
purpose Of dealing out summary ven
gance. Cooler heads pursuaded the
crowd to give up the plan of violence,
which action was counseled by Miss
Presley and mass meeting was
called.

COMMISSIONER Office in which
every Mississippian is either directly

missioner to keep out Of bad concerns

YELLOW ATHLETIC PERIL.
Prof Palmer Disturbed Over Perfor. mances of Chinese and Japanese.

Ithaca, N. r.. Feb 6.-That the Japanese and Chinese students in the mission schools indulge in all kinds Of athletics and that some of their records would compare favorably with those of the American colleges were some of the interesting re- marks by Professor c. B. Palmer of the St Johns university, Shanghai, China, to some Cornell students yes- terday. He said that athletics were on the boom in the east and that judging from the records recently made the Americans may find their athletic prestige endangered by . real yellow athletic peril.
 In speaking of the athletics at St Johns the professor said that there was an intercollegiate athletic asso- ciatton in existence there and that track, baseball and association foot ball games had been organized. The track teams are run on the same principle as in America. The 100 yard race has been run in 10h sec- onds. the half mile in 2 minutes 10 seconds. The record for the broad jump was 21 feet.

TO SAVE HIS SISTER.
Mrs Wells, Former Hartford School
 Teacher. h Improyinr.

|
 Hartford, Feb 6.-Within a week story has been printed telling how a Yale student. to save the life of his chum's sister, had permitted an ar- tery to be opened and thus provided the blood necessary to replen!sh the impoverished system of the young woman. There is similar case in Hartford.
 Mrs Ernest A. Wells of 639 AL bany avenue has been i'll for some time with blood poisoning. Various expedients were tried to improve her condition without avail and her con- dition gradually grew worse. Her physician, as last report, suggested the transfusion of blood from a healthy human being in order to re- store her vitality and enrich her blood. The question then came up as to who would make the sacrifice. The operation requires self denial, TOT the man who makes the sacrifice Is obliged to be confined to his bed several days and suffers naturally some degree of his vitality.
 Mrs Wells's brother came forward and blood to reinvigorate his sister has been taken from him. Mrs Wells Is said to be improving. Before her marriage she was teacher in the Northwest school. Her husband, Dr Ernest A. Wells, has at the same time been i'll with appendicitis, but an operation was avoided.

MAKING THE HOME JOLLY.
Why Not Corner Little of the Sun
 shine of Life7

Don't be afraid of . little fun at home.
 Don't shut your house lest the sun should fade your carpets and your hearts lest hearty laugh shake down some musty old cobwebs there.
 If you wish to ruin your sons let them think that all mirth and social enjoyment must be left on the thres- hold without when they come home at night. Young people must have fun and relaxation somewhere.
 If they do not find 1t at. their own hearthstones 1t will be sought at other less profitable places.
 Therefore. make the homestead de- lightful with all those little arts which parents 50 perfectly understand.
 Don't repress the buoyant spirits of your children; half an hours merri- ment round the fireside at home blots out the remembrance of.many care and annoyance during the day, and the best safeguard they can take with them into the world IS the influence of bright little domestic sanctum.
