For the first time in several years
Tupelo High School is represented by a
football team. The first game of the
season was played on the home grounds
with Corinth High School, score Z to 6
in favor of Tupelo. The game was
close, with but little difference in the
work of the two teams. The second
game was played at Bonneville against
the town of Bonneville. Score 20 to 0
in favor of Bonneville. This game was
not counted as a high school game be-
cause Bonneville used Buchanan and
Barnett, VINO are not high school play
ers. The third game was played at
Corinth; score 20 to 0 in favor of Cor
NTH. Tupelo lost this game because of
Corinth having the more experienced
team. The best work done for Tupelo
in the games played was the line rush
ing of Vanhoose, the tackling of Kirk
patrick and the working of the forward
pass by Shirley and panhoose.

Senator Isadore Raynor, of
Maryland, died at his home in
Baltimore on the 18th inst, after
ar illness covering a period of
four years. Senator Raynor was
one of the great constitutional
lawyers of the Senate and took a
leading part in the policy of the
democratic party during the
eight years that he served in the
senate. His death may cause
the loss of the control of the

THOU SHALT NOT KILL.

Sheriff w. P. Harris, of De-
Soto county, was killed by a man
named Treadaway near Olive
Branch Monday where the Sheriff
had gone to execute a warrant
on Treadaway for resisting an
officer. The sheriff was thrown
off his guard by Treadaway
who called him inside the house
and Immediately opened fire on
him, killing him instantly.
The privilege of bearing arms
was considered at the time of
the formation of this government
a sacred right. In those trouble
Gus days the early settlers were
beset on every hand by savages
who were ready to murder with
out a moments warning. The
trainers of the Bill of Rights
deemed it a duty to guarantee to
every man the right to bear
arms in. defense Of his person
and property. This right has
never been abridged but it has
furnished preteXt too frequently
for citizens to arm themselves
when there was no necessity for
it. Our laws endeavor to pro-
tect the peaceable from the
murderous by prohibiting the
carrying of concealed weapons.
But regardless of this prohlbl-
ton, at nearly every home is
found a deadly weapon which
can be brought into play at the
least provocation. This sacred
right should be done away with;
in times of peace there is no
necessity for a man at home, or
abroad to provide himself with
deadly weapons. The use of
aims should not be taught the
young. The art of killing should
not be cultivated, but so long
as the boy is provided with a
gun or a pistol he must find
something to kill. At first this
desire is satiated on the lower
animals but too frequently We
find young men who are never
satisfied until a human life has
been sacrificed to crafty the
thirst to kill.

is THE PUBLIC
SCHOOL A FAILURE ?

is THE PUBLIC
SCHOOL A FAILURE ?
The press of the country has
taken up the question Of the
efficiency of the public school
system and a number of our
foremost educators, leading
newspapers and public men have
registered themselves as opposed
to the system.
The Ladies Home Journal for
the past several months has been
conducting an investigation and
has reached the conclusion that
the public school is failure.
The system is made as one
garment to fit every child and as
a result it is necessarily a misft
in a majority of cases. On this
subject the Hon. Jacob G. Schur-
man, American Minister to
Greece says: IF you center on
a scheme of education, instead
of planning to give the best
training to the greatest number.
you find yourself confronted with
the hundreds of thousands of
children whom your scheme
failed to fit"
The prime object of an educa
ton is to prepare the child for
a life of useful activity that will
be sufficiently remuneratlve as
to bring to the life of the person
in after years comforts and the
enjoyments of life. Instead
however, we lose sight of the
main purpose and add to the
curriculum many useless and un-
necessary studies. On this ques-
ton the Brooklyn Daily Eagle
says: Our children are over
taxed by a lot of thoroughly use
less studies, compelled to cram
their brains with lessons which
they cannot possibly understand
and which cannot benefit them
IN the future"
Practical subjects fail to re-
ceive the attention which their
Importance demand. The three
fundamental subjects, reading,
writing and arithmetic, have be-
come minor subjects and physi-
ology, modern languages and
drawing have forged to the front.
On this subject Hon. Whitelaw
Red, American Ambassador to
England. very truthfully says:
THE common schools do not yet
generally teach with needful

tendency on the part Of the
teachers to assign lessons which
must be prepared out of school
as the hours have been shortened
to where there is very little Of
study during school hours.
Should a child have parents who
are educated well enough and
are disposed to help get up the
lessons then the child is well in
structed, otherwise. it gains only
an indefinite and smattering idea
of those subjects which are
absolutely necessary to insure
success in after life. Julius Sachs
Iof Columbia University says:
The art of imparting informa-
ton has not vet been success
fully cultivated among US. We
hear recitations rather than
teach"
The individuality of the child
is lost in following the system
which from the standpoint OF
the educational head, must be
observed at all hazards. System
is the hobby and in the educa-
tional line there seems to be as
many sticklers for its observ-
ance as can be found in our
military or naval departments.
The universities and colleges
prescribe certain requirements
for the entrance into the fresh
man class. These must be OBJ
served regardless of the effort
had on the individuality Of the
child. Speaking on this subject
Professor Scott Nearing, of the
University Of Pennsylvaniasays;
''The development Of the indi-
vidual child is an end to which
education is the means. Over
looking this important fact we
have organized and deified an
Educational System which rides
rough shod over the individuality
of the child"
Again, Professor Edward l..
Thorndike, of Columbia Univer-
sity, in speaking along the same
line says: Instead of studying
the child to find out what they
are, and then devising exercises
to train them into what they
ought to be, we have centered
on a course of study almost, If
not quite, regardless of its pur
pose or it's supposed benefici-
aries"
The curriculum covers too
many subjects. Instead OF
thoroughly mastering the funda-
mentals the system embraces too
many subjects and as a result

the child leaves school and enters
upon the duties for life without
any definite knowledge of any
one necessary subject. Refer
ring to this Mayor Gaynor. of
New York says: Il think a large
percentage, if not the largest
percentage, of the children in
our schools are submerged. They
just about have their noses above
water, struggling to breathe.
They have more than they can
do. We try to teach them too
much, and the result is that they
come out with a superficial
knowledge about a lot of things.
but with no accurate knowledge
of anything
The practical side had been
lost sight of in following the
system. Education means the
gaining of practical ideas which
can be put into every day use
and which prepares the person
for some special class of work.
We cannot all gain a classical
education, it was never intended
for the man of affairs to be edu-
Gated along the same line with
the professional man, but in or
der that he may succeed, his
education must be confined to
those things which will cover his
needs in the business world. The
