DR.. Thomas p. Bailey, dean OF
the Mississippi University, has been
elected superintendent of the public
schools Of Memphis. and will at
once sever his connection with our
State institution and enter upon
his new duties. His selection was
made in competition with able
educators from Georgia and local
Professors, and was based upon the
well recognized ability of the man.
The retiring superintendent. Prof.
L. C. Mcneil, has served about two
years. He came from Detroit, we
believe, and however able an educa-
tor he may have been, it is
probable that the infusion of some
of the Northern sentiment or sys-
TENS into the schools became re-
pugnant to Southern ideas, as they
generally do, and had their effect
in closing his Memphis career.

Last Day Of The Institute

The session of the teachers institute
this forenoon was very interesting.
Prof. Jones talked upon the method Of
teaching literature in the high schools
and gave the teachers some very
valuable suggestions. Prof. Jones is
one of the most interesting speakers
we have heard i'll teachers Institutes or
elsewhere for many years. Ifhe teaches
the way he talks, the young men and
women who come under his influence
ought to have high ideals and ought to
make excellent teachers and valuable
citizens.
At the conclusion of Prof. Jones talk
u five minute recess was declared, after
which Supt. Anderson took up the
methods of teaching English I'm the It'll
and Sth grades of the public schools.
lie began by scoring those teachers
who had requested some light on this
subject and had gone home, when they
knew the subject was to he brought up.
The criticism struck us as being
deserved. He then outlined u method
by which he thought the requirements
of the state course of study could be
successfully accomplished.
The institute then adjourned for
dinner.
