ADDRESS OF HON. j. N. POWERS
State Superintendent OF Education, at the
State Teachers Association Meeting

Shall we give up the fight? Never
Are we discouraged? If so think of
the humiliating position we stand in
with relation to other states. Are
we without inspiration? Think of
the thousands of little children upon
whom young teachers must practice
in order to work out their salvation.
We are not selfish. We do not come
to crafty some personal or political
ambition, and yet many of the enem-
les of this measure charge that it is
fathered and advanced by lot of
politician school teachers seeking for
place. Wise and progressive men are
these who bring this charge. If seek
ing to uplift the struggling childhood
of our state class US as politician
school teachers then the charge
stands. If memorializing the legisla-
ture by thousands of school teachers
for only that which will strengthen
their service to the state gives them
the name of politician school teach
ers, am sure they are pleased to
plead guilty to the soft impeachment.
If burning zeal to bring our states
educational system up to the stand
ard of those in our sister states gives
us the name of politician school teach
ers then we are just that, and bear
the name with pride. If going before
the sovereigns of Mississippi, the peo-
pie, and appealing in the name of
their children for more efficient
school system class us as politicians,
earnestly hope that every school
teacher in this commonwealth will be-
come an active, aggressive politician.
had rather be politician school

part in developing my state than to
sit figure head and feel the lash

to do it's duty.
When we compare our educational
system in relation to the training OF
the teacher with other states and
with other countries we find that we
stand at the foot of the ladder. Wide

paign for normal school is born of
a desire on the part of the teachers to
perform more efficiently the work in
which they are now engaged.
Before pass to dher questions /
wish to state that all other problems,
in fact, the furthsrE development of
our public school system waits upon
the establishment of state normal
college.
There are other problems of mo-
.ment before us. The student of our
educational system has not failed to
note with concern the total absence
of well equipped manual training and
domestic science departments in our
city schools. We read almost every
week of the dedication of costly
school structure, yet with a lack of
discernment that is lamentable no
provision is made in these schools to
train the hand We train for the pro
fession, but we will never come into
this, our own great agricultural state,
until the hand is made deft and skill
ed 1t is well to remind our people of
our inexhaustable resources, but it is.
infinitely better to teach our children
how to develop these resources. 1t
is well to refer to skilled labor we
import from other states and lament
the inability of our labor to compete
with it, but it is much better to make
provision to give such training in our
schools as will prepare our own peo-
pie to play their part in this field. IT.
is well to be proud of our blood, but
our pride is without action when we
fail to send that blood in all of its
potency coursing through every ar
terry of labor and trade to make it re-
munerative Tt is well to recall past
achievement, but it far better to CON
serve that spirit into every avenue of
life's field of labor. It is we'll to
speak Of the dignity of labor, but our
words are as sounding brass when we
fail to give our youth proper con-
ception and due Importance of man
ual labor. It is well to train the mind
until it becomes broad, analytical, and
deep, but we must not forget that the
great solid qualities that make mo-
ton enduring come from those who
labor with the hand as well as the
head. If thoroughly equipped manual
training and domestic science depart
ments are added to our city school
system, our boys and girls will not
only appreciate the dignity of labor
but will be able to compete with their
fellows everywhere and in every field
MY information is that this is the
only state in the Union where at
least some Of the progressive city
school systems have failed to provide
industrial training for their pupils
I have made reference to the city
schools only because they alone are
now able to give this training. They

alone are able to spend money for
the equipment and employ skilled
teachers. When our city schools take
up this work it will soon find its way
into all our schools. One of the first
problems that confronts us for soIu-
ton is the education Of our school
boards in the cities to a realization
of the inadequacy of their systems
in relation to the industrial training
of the child.
| trust | am not rejecting on any
Of our progressive city superinten-
dents this evening, but I must at
least attempt to point out the solu.
ton of each problem that I shall pre-
sent. The solution of this problem
it seems to me rests entirely in the
hands of the city superintendents and
thir assistants. I am not assuming
too much in stating that the trustees.
the mayors, and the councilmea of
our cities are progressive, thoughtful
men, therefore. if our superlnten-
dents will inaugurate a campaign for
the establishment of these training
departments in their school systems,
they will no doubt meet with encour-
agement and these necessary depart
ments will soon be added to our CITY
school systems. If it is argued that
money is lacking then would suggest
that when the next costly school
building is to be erected that at least
$4,000 of the money appropriated for
such structure go toward equipping
these departments.
The last problem which propose
to discuss this evening is the para
mount school question Of the state
It is an automatic proposition tI,at

years we find much to encourage rs.
The thoughtful student of our educa-

tricts have today wider vision of

life's responsibility. The man with

for me to weigh down this occasion
with labored argument or to attempt
to entertain you at length with re-
view of those facts already so ably
presented by our president. / shall
therefore confine by remarks to the
great issue that is before us and to
some problems that call for quick
solution

many of the ills OF our system would

had thought before occupying of
fetal position that the school teach
ers of Mississippi, as a body, had only
to appeal in the name of our school
system for any factor that would ad-
vance its interests and it would be
granted. The scales have fallen from
my eyes, my days of visions and mis-
taken ideas have given place to the
stern realities of the situation, Fancy
has fed. We are facing stubborn
facts. The normal school is the domi-
nant issue. To secure its establish

fought battle. To win we must unite

HEARST LEAGUE
|NvADES DIXIE
Free Lance Politicians and La
Dor Leaders Hold Conven-
ton at Birmingham.
name ELECTORAL TICKET
Delegates VIII Be Elected to National
Convention and a Permanent
Organization VIII
Be Formed

Birmingham, Ala, April go
Free lance politicians of Alabama
and Representatives of various labor
and reform bUIies met here today
in what is called a state convention
OF the Independence party of Ala
bama. The convention will name an
electoral ticket. select delegates to a
national convention and perfect a
permanent organization. The party
is affiliated with William Randolph
Hearst's independence League and
will act with that body in national
elections. It's objects and purposes
are set forth in the following lam
guage:
We believe that the time has
come for Independent political ac-
ton, and that great national party
is imperatively demanded, that will
unite in one solid phalanx the far
mer, the wage-earner and the non
privilege seeking business man.
These three elements represent the
worth producers of this country and
are its backbone and sinew, but, re-
markable as it may seem, they have
no voice in making laws.
Both old parties are controlled
by the same power, and no genuine
reform can come through either.
Witness the futile efforts of Presi-
dent Roosevelt in the republican
party, the failure to effect reform
under Grover Cleveland, when the
democratic party was in power, and
the failure of Mr.. Bryan to prevent
the nomination of Judge Parker
three years ago. and subsequently
his weak surrender to the politicians
on the question of government own
ership of railroads.
Genuine reformers are helpless
so long as they remain in the ranks
of either of the old parties. and it
has been the policy of predatory
wealth and it's political henchmen
to keep the people divided into two
parties, both being under the same
control. And SO long as this can be
done all this hue and cry against
trusts and monopolies and special
privileges is but as sounding brass
and tinkling symbol unless accom-
panied by Independent political ac-
ton
The farmers. wage-earners and
non-privilege seeking business men
have heretofore been divided be-
tween the two parties of plutocracy
and 1t is the purpose of the indie
pendent party to unite these three
elements and gain control of our
government which has long been in
the hands of the Representatives OF
predatory wealth In no other way
can we have the government of the
people, by the people and for the
people.
