jackson, July 13.--The Cumberland
Telephone & Telegraph Company will
file with the railroad commission a
protest against the increased assess
ment Of its property in Mississippi
recently made by that body, with
request that the assessment be made
the same as that of last year, adding,
of course, the extensions and property
improvements made during the year.
There is little likelihood, however,
that the request will be granted. In
the first place, the commission be-
lieves that he Cumberland assess
ment heretofore has been too low, as
compared with the company's earn
ings, and 1t will devolve on the cor
poration to show that this is not the
case, which the general counsel will
endeavor to do.
Owing to the fact that the Cumber-
Hand practically controls all Of the
telephone business in Mississippi, the
supervision Of the corporation has
grown to be a very important matter
Its officials contend that the earnings
have not been large, and that al learn
ings in the past have been invested
in improvements and extensions, a
work recently abandoned because Of
the high price of material. Many new
lines had been planned on which worl
was ordered stopped for this reason

1t is equivalent to the matter of

schools are industrial schools.
If we are to keep pace with
the best schools we must enrich
our course of study by graded
course in music and drawing and
add a competent teacher for these
lines.
No one questions the fact that
we should develop the expressing
side of our natures through Ian,
guage, yet music and drawing
furnish the soul with power of
expression equally broad and
valuable. Not only this, their
place can not be filled by language

A number of our grades are
somewhat crowded for the best
service. No room has enough
pupils for two teachers as people
generally view the matter. 1t is,
therefore, something of a ques
ton what is the best plan to pur
sue. A sort of overflow room
might be established. 1t would
necessarily have sections from
several grades. Probably, how
ever, it would be best to adapt one
feature of the Batavia plan to
our needs. This would mean that
we should employ the best grade

ex perience in all the grades and
require her to do assistant work.
She would be assigned work in
certain rooms for a period of
month and then changed to an
other group of rooms. Eer duty

make good school by all the sup,
port they are able to give if the
teachers are inefficient. Good
schools, then, are found only when
good teachers are employed where
parents assume their share of the
labor involved and support the
teachers in every possible way.
A prominent writer says: "Tbe
moment any patron feels that h.
is not just as much part of the
school as his child, some one is
at fault. 1t may be the patron;
it may be the school. From the
standpoint of efficiency, it matters
not much which, for the condition
is not conductive to progress.
Moreover, the duty of stimulation
of the community interest and
activity is a leading responsibility
of the school. Apathy of the
school means an atrophied public
sentiment.
As superintendent, a stranger
to all the people of Blackfoot, ]
have found number of things to
encourage me in my work. Many
people have shown cordial will
lingness to cooperate that has
been very gratifying. The teach
ers have shown the best possible
spirit. They have worked ex
ceedingly hard to do all within
their power for the schools. Not
only this, they have shown an
eagerness to study the best things
in the educational world such as

The ladies of the local club
have assisted us in a number of
ways. Besides their cordial sup.
port they donated some twenty,

held last fall. Without their as.
sistance we could not have held

The board of trustees has given
us reasonable degree of freedom.
They have equipped a chemical
laboratory that makes 1t possible
for Blackfoot to do as good work
in that line as can be done IN any |
high school in the state. They
have also allowed us to add to the
library quite a. stock of books very
essential to good work in school
But while it is gratifying to
note so many good features there
are some other conditions thai
must be remedied before either
the superintendent or the people
can rightfully CLAIM that the
schools are in ideal condition. !
