The Port Gibson reveille., 1909-05-13

This work was done by Martin,
Russum, Pattona and other schools.
The Beech Grove school won the
district prize of twenty five dollars
for most improvement during the
year.
Nine counties, representing a.
bout three hundred schools, are in
eluded in the district. Altogether
Claiborne has fight to be. proud
of the showing she made at the
Association. The following teach
ers were in attendance from here:
Misses Lou Moore, Matte and Lu-
la Scott, Alice and Matte Ander-
son, Ruth Ably, Annie Price, Fan
ME, Mary and Florence Naasson,
Flora Mckay, Myrtle Boren, Ruth
Segrest, Josie Nesmith, Alma Boil
ling, Francis Rowe, Lou Coen,
Louis Campbell, Mr.. Davis, Prof.
McKinstry, and Mrs. Nesmith.
The teachers visited many plac-
es of historic interest in and around
Natchez. They were royalty en-
tertained during their entire stay.
! Nothing was leftundone that would
add to their comfort and pleasure.
They appreciated the many
courtesies shown them and were
loud in their praises of the citizens
of Natchez.

State Teachers, Association.


The twenty fourth annual meet
ing of the Miss. Teachers Associa-
ton was held in Natchez the last
two days of April. About fifteen
hundred from all parts of the state
were in attendance.
State Supt. in. Powers, Profs.
Whitfield of the l. /. & c. Hardy
of A. & NJ. College, Franklin Ri
ley, University, Alcee Fortier, Tu-
lane University, C. c. Henson, Isa-
dore Newman Training School, N.
O., were among the prominent ed
ucators present.
The program was carefully ar
ranged. Owing to the fact that
there are several departments to
the Association, meetings were
held in different buildings, and a
general session held twice day at
the Baker Grand Theater. This
enabled the teachers to attend the
department in which they were
particularly interested and then
hear the addresses by prominent
educators.
Two addresses were very fine;
"Spanish History of Louisiana and
Mississippi" by Prof. Alcee Fortier
and "Manual Training in Public
Schools" by c. c. Henson. Prof.
Henson made strong plea for the
introduction of "manual training"
into the public schools of the
south.
The president of the Association,
in his address, emphasized this line
of work and said: "Schools should
train toward and not away from
the home and the farm and the
work shop.
"Pupils should be taught the
honor and dignity of self sustaining
work.
"The school must be brought clos
er to out of doors and life. A sys-
tenn of education that leaves one
with out the power to undertake
accomplished things is worse than
useless.
He also recommended the estab-
lishment of training school for
teachers and considered it the
greatest need of the rural schools
of the state.
The exhibition of the "Industrial
Arts" attracted considerable atten-
ton and favorable comment. The
exhibits from I. l. & c. and A. &
M. were fine and a credit to pu-
pills and instructors alike.
Only few counties sent exhibits
from the rural schools but the work
made up in beauty. The Claiborne
exhibit was considered by a num-
Der of prominent teachers to be
the best from the rural schools

AT 1890 the trustees, and all the

Besides few department certif-
icates and diplomas, five young
ladies are to graduate in the liter
airy department.
The closing concert will begin

The cotton planters are having
an exceedingly hard time this seas
on. The early planting positively
refuses to grow, and the last cold
snap has materially affected the
later planting. If the boil weevil
are plentiful it will be difficult in
deed to harvest anything like a
good crop. However, with the ex-
ception of the item OF stock food,
the crop will be cheaply made.

Run Over by Reckless Driver.

Saturday night John Grove, an
aged colored man, fell on the street
near the Presbyterian church and
died soon after. A Young lady saw
the old man as he was struck by a
buggy, driven by reckless negro
driver, just as he attempted to cross
the street.
1t is believed that he had a stroke
of paralysis at the time and was
unable to get out of the way. At
any rate, if the driver had not been
driving recklessly he could have
controlled his team.
The old man had heen subject to
