THE PURPOSE OF OUR
HIGH SCHOOL.

The work being done in the Bay St.
Louis High School is of high grade.
Year by year the standard is being rails
ed and the effort is to educate the boys
and girls of this community for greater
efficiency. Be it known that the chief
function of the public high school is to
prepare the pupils for life as far as can
be done with the facilities at hand, and
not to fit them for entering colleges
and universities.
The latter from time to time, raise
the entrance requirements so that the
secondary schools find difficulty in ar
ticulating with these higher institu
tions of learning.
In view of the fact that so small per
cent. of graduates of the public schools
have any desire for a college education
it is dedmed best to make them finish
ing schools rather than preparatory
schools for the higher institutions. AS
a matter of fact not exceeding five per
cent. enter the universities. while a large
per cent. withdraw from our common
schools before they have finished the
grammar grade curriculum.
The only means to counteract this
tendency, as we view it, will be to in
troduce vocational subjects in the up
per grades. But for several reasons
these changes will necessarily have to
be gradual. In our own community
there is ample evidence that the people
are becoming more and more alive to
the importance of securing for their
children at least common school edu-
cation. One of the strongest evidences
of this is the increased enrolment and
average attendance of the Bay St. Louis
High School, which by far exceeds that
of any previous session in its hist9rE.
This augurs an increased interest in md
sentiment in favor of popular educa 10

DEATH OF A VENERABLE CITIZEN
Asa Hursey, Sr., Long Time Resident of Pearl

Years-Leaves Large Family.

PEARLINGTON, Miss, Dec. H.
This place sustained one of her greatest
losses on the 9th, instant, in the death
of Mr.. Asa Hursey, Sr., who died at
Houltonville, La, of pneumonia.
Mr.. Hursey was the father of the
needy and true brother in the braad-
est sense. He was ever ready to render
assistance to those in trouble and dis
tress. He was always on hand in case
of death. IIeswas a devout Christian
man who tc Ok charge and did the work
of pastor, brother and friend in all cases
| where such help and influence were
needed. No man can ever fill his place
in the hearts and homes of this COM
/ munity.
He was born on June 2, l845, and at
the time he was 81 years, 6 months and
4 days of age, thus it will be seen that
he had lived to ripe age Of usefulness,
but he was seemingly in the primo of
his life and was not considered an old
man by those who knew him.
"To have known him was to have
loved him.
| Mr.. Hursey was consistent member
of the following lodges: Masonic, K. of
H. and w. O. W., as well as a member
of the M. E. Church, South.
He was son of Asa Hursey, OF
the State of Maine, and Isabella S,
Mccall, of Mississippi. The names Of
these families are well known and es-
teemed both North and South, and by
this union these sections become more
closely cemented in bounds of brotherly
affections.
Had Mr.. Hursey lived until March,
1919, he would have been married tC
Miss Laura Orr, who survives him, &c
years. Mr.. Hursey was a model hus-
band and father; an indulgent and
cheerful friend and brother. Those OF
US who knew him best loved him most
Mr.. Hursey leaves widow, five sons
and four daughters to mourn his de-
mise. The sons are Philip A, Sidney,
] Mead. Abner and Asa The daughters
are Mrs. J. o. Leonard. Mrs. G. PhaFr.
Mrs. Q. Carr and Miss Octavia Hursey
The family and near relatives have
the sympathy of host of friends, who
feel that with them the community has
sustained has sustained an irretrievable
loss. We bid them remember that the
"Lord giveth and the Lord taketh
away" Those who love Him must be
submissive to His will,

Murdeuous Assault at Pass Christian.

PASS CHRISTIAN, Miss, Dec. 10
Steve Rudolph, well-known schooner
captain at this place, was murderously
assaulted at his gate, in Second Street
about II o'clock last night by Sunny,
alias "Black" Borssago, an Austrian.
The assault, it is alleged, was unprovok-
ed. ,Borssage had formerly been en-
ployed on Rudolph's schooner, but ow-
ing to his quarrelsome disposition the
latter could not keep crew, so he dis
missed Borssage some weeks ago. Bors-
sage appeared to accept the dismissal
without any resentment. and continued
to visit the home of Rudolph, where ne
was received
Monday night he had spent several
hours with Rudolph at the latter's home
and had departed from there about half
hour when he returned to the gate, call
ing Rudolph. Mrs. Rudolph answered
and when she learned it was Borssage
she told him that her husband was in
bed and to call in the morning to deliver
his message, but Borssage insisted on
seeing Rudolph, and the latter, hearing
the mans demand to see him, partly
dressed himself and went out. Borsage's
action at this time had aroused the
suspicion of Mrs. Rudolph, and she
commanded Borssage to leave. This
he refused to do, and as Rudolph ap-
proacheed within about ten fee: Bors-
sage Drained him with brick weighing
six pounds, telling him and inlicting a
dangerous, if not fatal, wound on the
forehead.
Seeing her husband fall. Mrs.
Rudolph began to scream, and Borssage
drew a number of bricks from his shirt
and whiried them at the PROSTATE man
