the United States Circuit Court Of the
habeas corpus proceedings instituted
with view to preventing the extra
dition to Italy of Porter Charlton, the

A feature of the Inauguration was
the old Bible on which the oath was
taken. 1t had been given to Governor
Cruce by his mother many years ago

TRAIN TEACHERS
CONTINUED from page one.)


The requirements printed on the di.
ploma show what the Southern Bap
fist Board, these 20 men at the helm,
from personal and general experience,
deem necessary to make a No. l
school. These men are so familiar
with conditions in Sunday schools and
have issued these requirements only
after the most critical study and eX-
animation, that the teacher and super
intendent should study them and heed
them.
Stressed Bible Study.
Mr.. Leavell stressed particularly
the need of taking the Bible to Sunday
school. OF course, if the quarterly is
used, the Bible should be used in con-
nection with it, but If one Is omitted,
let it be the quarterly. No teacher
should be guilty of standing before
his class with simply quarterly in
hand.
Need of Teachers Meetings.
The need of Teachers meetings was
pointed out and the need of teachers
and officers who hold diplomas from
the Board as Sunday School teachers
was shown. Graded supplement les
sons should be used, said Mr.. Leavell
and he continued to explain concisely
and clearly the nine points required
for "a 1" Sunday school. He thel
urged each teacher to check up ant

requirements of the Board and II s.

He instructed his hearers to demand
that those who teach in their Sunday
schools should make preparations for
their classes. Train them when young
into teachers. Among other things to
attract young people, give the students
something to do in the Sunday school,
the speaker advised. There are many
all around us waiting for something to
do Remember that sometimes people
outside are better material than those
in the schools. They should be gotten
into the Sunday school them
1t is true, graded Sunday school
requires more teachers, but they can
be obtained. Mr.. Leavell then told of
one man who drove around to various
members homes among the congrega'
ton, asking them to teach. Sure
enough, they appeared, many of them,
the following Sunday, ready to teach
Winter And Summer Schools.
There are two definite purposes OF
the Southern Baptist Board-WinteI

Mr.. Leavell, and then explained how
members of the board are sent tC
these training schools, to train the

Mr.. Leavell then declared that if

work or any other, the Southern Bal

Two S. S. LEADERS
tell OF WORK
FOR TEACHERS

The Baptist pulpits were filed on
Sunday morning by. the prominent
Sunday School workers who have
come to conduct the Training School
for Teachers this week.
This Training School is Indirectly
a compliment to Hattiesburg,. for it
was held here last year in connection
with the Bible Institute for only two
days. This year the Southern Baptist
Board has decided that Hattiesburg
is large enough for the full weeks
session, usual only in large cities
like New Orleans and Nashville.
Teachers Must be Prepared.
Mr.. j. E. Byrd, of oxford, the Sun
day School Evangelist for Mississippi,
addressed the Sunday School pupils at
the First Baptist church Sunday morn
ing and Afterwards preached on 1.-The
Sunday ScLoo as an Evangelistic
Force
Mr.. Byrd dee,ared no one could
show others the way to Heaven unless
that one himself knew it, so teacher
must be first a believer, not merely
one who merely tries to be Chris
ton.
Second, the teacher must know the
word of God-not the teachers opln
ion of what the word of God is, bu
what the word itself says. People &C
to q Sunday School class to learn the
word of God, not to hear the teachers
fine literary ideas. A teacher, tc
know these things and help the Sun
day School to be an Evangelistic Sun
day School, should attend the Train
ing School.

How to Use the Bible.

Another important thing is for the
teacher to know how to use
the Word of God. The Importance of
teaching the young was shown, as
many older people will not attend Sun
day School. A teacher who misses an
opportunity to convert pupil in his
class while young, has lost great
chance.

Work of School.

Mr.. Byrd closed by telling of the
Training School being held here this
week. Any one who attends 10 out of
the % lectures, counting Sunday
School addresses, will receive lecture
course certificates from the Sunday
School Board at Nashville.
A regular text book will be used at
the lessons in the mornings, and these
skilled teachers sent out by Southern
Baptists, will conduct these lessons SO
as to enable the classes to finish the
first book by Friday night.
Students in these classes will re-
ceive normal course diplomas, seal
being added to the diplomas for every
book completed afterwards.

Railroad Notes

A "bsd manu invaded the local rail- road yards few nights ago, and some of the "boysn in the yard would like to have him 4come back just once more" They promise 10 give him q warm recepii on and send him 10 the hospital. The man was seen walking up the tracks in the evening. He was apparently transient millsoperative and under the influence of liquor. The first kind-hearted railroad man to see him and assist him out of danger got him near the switch tower. After the two had gone little way the trespass- CT suddenly turned on the Good Sama- ritan and when it was over the rail- road man had nothing left of his shirt but ,the collar band. Up the track went the bad man, and another Con- solidated employe, not knowing Of his brother employees experience, started to take the man off theItracks near the May street crossing. Another mixup followed ,and the railroad man received sinner of the deepest shade of dark blue imaginable.
 A train that ends it's run in this city came in an hour .late the other even ing. When the engine reached the round house 1t was found that the turntable was out of order, and the en- zine had to be run to Franklin to be turned around ready for its morning run.
