EXHIBITION OF
SPECIMEN WORK
Articles On Display At High School
Building Show Splendid
Progress.

The exhibition of work done in the
city schools during the session just
closed, which was open for the inspec-
ton of the public, from to Thurs
day and Friday afternoons. was large
ly attended. The opinion is expressed
that every parent who failed to inspect
the work missed an opportunity to gain
an idea of the real progress that Is
made as the children pass from grade
to grade.
The scope of the exhibit was all
embracing, from the clever work of
the primary grade to the splendid and
comprehensive productions in the
academic grades. In hurried inspec-
tion which prevented critical exam
ination of the literary specimens ex-
hibited, one was naturally forced to
conclusions from those things which
met the eye. One thing was very
noticeable in every room, namely; that
the teachers had taken commendable
pains in the arrangement of the work
The exhibition work had been selected
by the teachers during the year, and
many excellent specimens were shown
There was no scheme of classification
to show relative merit or to indicate
points of superiority; In other words
the exhibit was demonstrative rather
than discriminative and competitive
I The work was selected as the best oi
each kind and showed that every
/, scholar had something to his or hei
credit. Where there was so much tc
commend in all, any distinctive men
ton would or might be unfair. There
is no danger of doing injustice to sa!
that this new feature of having thes'
exhibits, is one which shows progress
and one that will tend to raise thu
standard Of work among teachers ant
pupils.
The drawing work is under super

matter of vocal music. The domesti
, science work and the industria

Delta Planters
Rush Work as
Flood Recedes

Jackson, Miss, May 31.-Despite
the lateness of the season, there is no
disposition among the planters In the
delta to allow their lands to remain
idle because of the overflow.
An unprecedented demand for seed
of all kinds for planting purposes is
coming from that section of the state,
and dealers who handle the late varie-
ties of corn and cotton are literally
swamped with orders. IS m
1t was believed two weeks ago that
at least fifty per cent Of the overflow
ed acreage would be idle this year
but reports from the delta indicate
that the untitled area will not exceed
twenty-five per cent Of the acreage
that would have been planted had II
not been for the overflow.
Many of the planters take the com
mon sense view that, as they desire tc
retain their labor, and have already
suffered rather heavily, it will be JUS
as we'll to take chances with the sea
son, and they do not regard the odds
against a fair crop prospect as over
whelming.

BOY WAS
ARRESTED FOR
FORGERY
A Fourteen-Lear-oId Lad Tried to
Pass Forged Paper on a Local
Bank.

Sam A. Carr, a boy from Selma,
Ala, who arrived in Hattiesburg from
New Orleans Wednesday night, was
arrested at the First National Bank Of
Commerce by Chief of Police Moore,
about $3.50 this morning, and lodged
in Jail on the charge of attempting to
obtain money on a forged check. This
boy is about Ia years of age, is we'll
dressed, and when seen by a News
man at the City Jail seemed to think
he had done no great wrong because
he was using his fathers name with
which to get the money he was using
in travelling over the country.
Several days ago the police authori-
ties had letter from Samuel A. Carr,
of Selma, Ala, requesting them to
look out for his Ia year old boy, whom,
he stated, was travelling over the
country and costing him about $40 per
day to take up checks on banks to
which the boy was signing his name
without authority. The First Nation
al Bank also had a similar request
from Mr.. Carr at Selma, who furnish
ed the bank a speciment of the sig
nature the boy was using.
Shortly after the bank opened this
morning the boy presented a CHECK
at the paying teller's window, saying
he wanted to get the money an ar
"out of town item" When told by
Mr.. Tucker that he would have to ge

Hauenstein, who informed him a loca

dorsement of F. E. McGee on tn
check. When again presented to MI
Tucker, as soon as he noted the nam
signed to the check, he compared
with the specimen he had. and say
that the two we're alike.
The police were called and Chic
