Bye-By to Props.

The favorable report from the
house committee on education on the
bills abolishing the preparatory de.
partment at the A. & M. College and
the Industrial means the looping off
of more than fifty per cent of the en-
rollment at these two colleges.
Incidentally, it will also mean the
cutting down of the appropriations
for these institutions In similar de-
gree, and it is probable that more
liberal allowance will be made for
the agricultural high schools.
There has been but little opposi-
ton shown to cutting out the prepare
tory departments. In fact, this Is the
elimination of fight that has been
waged for. several and this time
the leaders are determined that no
pupils shall be admitted to those two
institutions who have not completed
the prescribed courses of study in
the common schools.

a statement verified by an examina-
ton of the calendars showing that
thus far not exceeding 10 per cent
favorable committee reports, and thus
far a relatively small number of
those favorably reported have been
passed. This is especially true Of
general legislation. OF course, the
routine bills, carrying appropriations
for various purposes, will swell the
total, as will also the minor relief
measures from the committees on To-
cal and private legislation, but the
lawmakers have been especially &C
tive at this session in applying
chloroform and other anaesthetics to
proposed legislation.

guests were to travel. These tickets
were the score cards and the three
tables for trail, placed in the library
instead of being numbered, bore large
signs, "Hattiesburg, Miss" "Slidell,

AT intervals, paper bags of popcorn,
peanuts, chewing gum and straw bas-
kets of candy were offered the guests
"a la the train butcher boy.
A whistle was the signal for chang
ing tables and after the third game a
stop of fifteen minutes made for lunch.
In the dining room, the sideboard
and buffet were decorated with pine
boughs and arranged as lunch coun-
tiers, where Mrs. Everett E. Butler
and Miss Mary Anna Allen presided,
giving each guest a box Of luncheon
and Miss Rachel Mcleod, of Moss
Point, Miss, poured coffee from an
immense granite coffee pot.
The lunch boxes, besides sandwich
es, crackers, stuffed eggs, fruit salad
and maccaroons, held tiny spoons,
napkins, fern leaves, and tiny cups
for the coffee. The honor guests
boxes also held little luck charms
Two large tables seated the guests,

tiurries of snow, and other little trees
bare of leaves from the forest, while
pine logs, pine needles and pine cones,
covered the ground around the toy
engine and it's four coaches.
The second table represented
showed a Louisiana scene,-a house
in Bogalusa being depicted. A toy
house with tall pine tree on one
side and the other side covered with
vines, was enclosed by an old-fash-
Toned rail fence, with ferns, palms and
pine brooms growing in the corners.
A date palm leaf formed the walk to
the front gate where two lamp posts
tiny candles against the honey
suckle fence sent forth light which
was reflected in a miniature lake
with ferns growing on the banks. A
pile of wood and coal in the back yard
of the house gave a realistic touch to
the pretty scene.
Luncheon over the games of trail
were resumed at the three stations in
the library and Miss Ruby Marguerite
Lea won the prize, Miss Lora Haney

were boxes of stationery.
