L d with pleasure that We can an
IOunce TO the people Of Noxubee coun
n that the new dormitory for boy
viii be open for boarders on January
let. This dormitory has twenty roomi
and will accommodate thirty-eight boys
The rooms are small. Just large enough
for two boys; but experience hal
taught DIS that more than two boys il
one room make It difficult for any o.
then 10 do the work theft parents have
q right to expect Of them. Each room
win be furnished with table, washstand
wardrobe and one doub e-decked iror
bed, such as are now in use at the dor
mitories of the A.. &. M. College. Ev
efything will be done to make ou'
buildings thoroughly neat and sanitary
the boys are required to keep thei
rooms arranged in a neat and orderly
manner. The building that is now In
use as boys dormitory will be used as
girls dormitory. Our competent and
experienced matron will be in this dor
mitory to take the place of mother to
the girls sent to us.
Just here might say that those en-
teIing for the second terms work, be-
ginning January 1st, will find classes
arranged to suit their advancement.
Let those who come bring certificates
IL possible showing what work has
been finished in other schools. A cata-
log of the school will be sent. on request,
from which all details of requirements
can be ascertained.
The board for the first month was
$7.56; for the second month $6 50; for
the third month $697. This is very
cheap board, 80 cheap that the cost OF
attending good high school cannot be
urged as an excuse for not going to
school. The hard working boy can
make his board by taking advantage of
the opportunity given him to work for
|eight cents an hour. We hBve boys
who pay their board every month, and
any boy who is willing to apply himself
ran do the same. and this without los
ing any necessary time from his studies
The country boy or girl ought to con-
lder. this q great opportunity; a good
iGh school education in reach Of every
" md girl At an expense that is Ger
{ainly a. little as he incurs at home.
Ge believe in play at the right time;
bit let no one come who expects to get
khrough without effort; we have plav.
but there is more work.
The Domestic Science Department
or the girls was added to the course
IBIS year and under the direction of our
Eficient teacher is proving to be verv
|helpful and instructive ~ rleasant 1t
our wish that the people might see
shat is actually being done in this de-
bartment as well as in the Agricultural
Department. WeCfeel that il they see
he work they would realize the ;mpor-
ance of such school as the county
bas.

nents and private gifts. has collected

Ne would like to express our thanks
Puhlicly to Mr.. John A. Tyson for the
