MORE CHANGES IN THE FACULTY
OF THE A. & NJ. COLLEGE.

At the last session OF the Legs
lature law was enacted putting the
management of the four State edu-
cational institutions, the State Uni
versity, the A. & M. College, the
Industrial Institute and College for
Girls and the A. e M. College for
the Colored Race, in the hands of one
board of trustees of seven members.
This new board, according to law
took charge of these institutions
July LIST.
On June 30th, or the last day of
it's official existence, a part of the
old Board of Trustees of the A. & M.
College met at Jackson for the an
nounced purpose of turning the col
lege business over to the new Board.
This old Board of Trustees of the
A. & NJ College has distinguished
itself for nothing more than for in
capacity, political trickery, and fla
grant disregard of the rights of the
farmers of the State. 1t seemed this
record was about complete, but such
was not the case; for on the last day
of it's existence, when it could no
longer be held officially responsible,
it took another slap at the farmers
of Mississippi and offered what
should be considered gratuitous in
suit to the new Board, in the re-
moval without cause or an oppor-
tunity to be heard in their own de-
tense, if any charges were made or

P. Kerr, Poultryman, and Albert
Barnes, Professor of Mechanical En-
cheering. Common courtesy, ii
seems, would have suggested that
such matters should have been left
to the new Board of Trustees, but
a majority of the old Board have
outraged justice and decency SO Of
ten, under the spur of the Governor e
political power, that such consid-
Grafton as the propriety of leaving
these cases to the new Board could
have no weight with the members OF
the now defunct old Board who were
present at this last meeting.
1t was announced in the daily
press that all the members of the
old Board were present at this meet.
ing, but this is not true; for we have
reliable information that several
members were absent.
At this writing, July Z, no paper
out OF the large number which come
to this Office, has announced the re
moval Of these professors by the OLE
Board. Is this merely a Slip o
the SCATTERING talent at Jackson
or deliberate attempt to suppress
legitimate news? One Jackson dali
paper, with practically no circulation
among the farmers of the State
stated that Prof. Smith had beef
previously relieved from duty, blu
because of some 'irregularity" tn,

Music, and when the new teacher IS
engaged to fill the now vacant position,
make it one of the essentials that she
be competent to drill the pupils for our
commandments, as well as to teach
ii the several departments of our
Grammar and High Schools, the cle-
ments OF Music.
A far greater benefit would be OBJ
tanned for much larger number OF
pupils, (many Of whom never reach the
High School department,) and we
would be laying for Lambertvllle, a
foundation in music, that will tell IN
years to come.
Our city is certainly back num-
Der" on this question; for where is there
a town of its size, having Public
Schools, without music as one OF the
branches taught.
Let us come to the front, and next
year have the fundamental principals
of music taught by a special teacher,
part of whose work shall be to give
such instructions 10 the pupils in the
various grades.
We all love Music, and we must
