Jackson Miss, February 2,-(Special)- The several school teachers had their sn- ning in the house today in the discussion of a bill increasing the curriculum O. teachers by the addition of several new studies, among them domestic science and manual training. The bill was amended 10 cut those branches out and insert in their stead physics and rhetorlc which was done with the assistance of the farm ar members, but in the end all were eltn- mated and the bill finally killed. So many were the amendments the author did nos recognize the corpse. .z#=a...#s A message from the governor recon- mended the participation of tho state in tho Gettysburg hftieth anniversary, aad no doubt every old soldier, no matter on which side he fought, will be sent fr1m Mississippi if he cares to go his railroad fare being paid.

that the drama should have censor. It doesn't believe that all plays should be kept off the boards except such plays as well please everybody and be offensive to none. Certainly no art could go very far on that basis. The committee bull letins no play that it doesn't consider a worthy, serious piece of work, and to that extent a bulletin on play is a guarantee that the committee so regarded it. But it is not intended as a guarantee that all persons, or that all intelligent persons, or even that all intelligent persons who are interested in the uplift and development of the drama will so consider it. II does guarantee however. that all members of the league who read our bulletins will know what the plays in question are about and will have ample data for de- ciGing in case of particular play whether it is the sort of play they care to attend or not.
 I don't know whether what l have said will seem to your correspondent to jus tify our having bulletined "The Havoc" or not. The committee doesn't pretend to be infallibe even in carrying out the modest programme I have outlined. But l hope Mrs, Phillips will believe that we are doing the best we can and that we are honestly grateful for all the express sions of opinion that we can get. Also I hope that if she and the members of the circle which she represents and Its friends, will go on being patient with us, they will find that, in the long run, they will agree with us, in the majority of in- stances, as to what a good play Is. Be- leve me- yours most sincerely,

The latent wealth in the 100000 acres of reclaim able lands in Louisiana Is so much greater than any discovery of gold deposits that 1t is hard to make q comparisons"

In the Blue Book of "Whos Who," in the theatrical world, the name of MT. William Resell, the dashing, handsome young actor who plays the role of Nat Duncan in the pleasing comedy, "Fhe For tune Hunter" which is the attraction around at the Jefferson, occupies con- spicuous place.
 Mir. Rossel is very remarkable young man in many ways-chieny because he is one of the few successful actors who DOESN'T want to talk about himself.
 Interviewing him is rather like going down stream on a nice, placid current when you want to go up stream!
 Every little while you want to put out an oar of questioning" that he deftly pushes back and swings you out in the middle of the river again. While the worst of it is that he doesn't seem to have the least idea that he is keeping you from getting to the place you want-that happy little harbor of reporting" where the men who have accomplished REAL results in the worlds Spotlight cozily gossir over "how they did it, and light a cigarette. While they murmur reminis- cences of their childhood ambitions.
 MT. Resell doesn't.
 He meets you very cordially-converses with animation about your newspaper work" and even the weather" if you please-and, indeed, of all the things that you are trying to forget, lapses into that reserve that comes with intense pre- occupation of the man who is "doing things" emerges-leads the dialogue again. and plays T Spy" with your ideas that seem carelessly-just like that-to be ceaselessly revolving in your quicksilver brain.
