Jackson, February 1.-THE ap-
praisement of the property of the Mis-
sissippi penitentiary as submitted by
Messrs ]. A. Collins and ]. M. Aven,
who have been engaged at the task
of preparing an inventory during the
past month, is regarded as the most
satisfactory every submitted to the
board of trustees of the institution.
The total valuation placed on prison
property in the new appraisement is
$1,326,975.09. as compared with $685.
077.27 for the year of 1908, an increase
of $3e8,897.82, which is almost phe-
nominal in view of the fact that the
penitentiary has suffered some heavy
losses from fire during the past year.
That the figures approximately repre-
sent the permanent property is shown
by the fact that the only crops listed
in the inventory is the unsold portion
of the cotton yield at the Sunfiower
place, which is placed at $135,90o.
The value of the Sunhower farm is
stated by the appraisers at $780,, 935.46,
and this estimate closely approaches
to verification of the prediction made
by Gov. A H. Longino ten years ago,
when the State purchased this tract
of land, paying about $4,000 therefore.

ARAB SCHOOLS.
Their Peculiar Methods In Teaching
and Studying.

Their Peculiar Methods In Teaching
and Studying.
can Arab school," said a traveller,
lis one of the most interesting places
in Cairo to visit. The children, with
the schoolmaster, sit upon the floor or
the ground in a semicircle, and each
has tablet Of wood which is painted
white and upon which the lessons are
written. When the latter are learned
they are washed out and replaced by
other lessons.
During study hours the Arab schools
remind one Of the Chinese, for the
children all study aloud, and as they
chant they rock back and forth like
trees in storm, and this movement is
continued for an hour or more at
time. The schoolmaster rocks back and
forth also. and altogether the school
presents most novel appearance as
well as sound. Worshipers in the
mosques always move about while re-
citing the Koran, as this movement is
believed to assist the memory.
'"The desks Of the Arab schools are
old contrivances Of palm sticks, upon
which is placed the Koran or one of
the thirty sections Of it. After learn
ing the alphabet the boys take up the
study of the Koran, memorizing entire
chapters Of it until the sacred book is
entirely familiar.
"A peculiar method is followed in
learning the Koran. The study begins
with the opening chapter, and from
this it skips to the last. The last but
one is then learned, then the last but
two, and so on in inverted order, end
ing finally with the second chapter.
During the students progress it is
customary for the schoolmaster to
send on the wooden tablet a lesson
painted in black and red and green to
the father, who returns it after inspec-
ton with couple of plasters pasted
upon it. The salaries Of the school
masters are very meager indeed
