GOVERNOR VISITS l. /. AND c.
talks of What Has Been Done 1T the
Big Girls College.

Jackson.-Gov. Noel was greatly
pleased with his trip to Columbus, where
he made an address in the chapel of the
industrial Institute and College to the
girls OF that big institution, on the rela-
tive merits of the different departments
of school study.
The governor says he enjoyed the visit
immensely, especially the opportunity
1t afforded him of seeing what had been
done and what was being done at the
pig college located in their midst. In this
college there are 76O girls enrolled, and
that number could have been largely in
creased, as many applicants had to be
denied admission on account of the school
being filled to its capacity. The health
OF the student body is exceptionally
good, there not being a single case of
serious sickness coming under his OBJ
servation while at the institution.
though he went into and was shown
through the ~splendidly equipped hospital.
he was especially impressed with the
practical teaching being done, noting
the work in the art and domestic science
departments, and also that in horti-
Suieuc anu agriculture. 1neSe are Incl
Tent to the teachers course, and are in
tended by actual observation to equip
teachers for the work to be done in their
public schools in teaching the agricul-
tural course. Some of the plats OF
ground are being cultivated by the teach
ers themselves, and others by the small
children under the supervision of those
taking the teachers course, this being
teaching practically applied through five
grades of small children being taught
in the college.
Much is being done, says the gov
ornor, in the way of physical equip
ment, and being well done, but there is
much more needed that has not yet
been provided. Among those that have
been made in the past three years is an
excellent gymnasium, a swimming pool
OF large dimensions, shower baths, dress
ing rooms, rest room and offices. Be-
sides this there has been provided an out
door g%ymnastic equipment with bars,
rings, climbing ropes, and all the other
usual appliances, while grounds have also
been laid off into race track, tennis
court, basket ball and baseball grounds,
providing splendid opportunities for put
door exercises and consequent good
health.

very little. You cannot sue them for
the reason that they have no agent on
