The Baptist Meeting Closed Friday.

The netting at the Baptist church
in Leakesville closed last Friday
night, the newly elected members
upon profession of faith being bap-
tized by immersion on that and the
previous night in the pool of said
church. In our previous writeup of
this meeting we promised to give
the numericals thereon, which prom
Use we now discharge by stating
that there were II received by let
ter and IA upon profession of faith.
The Herald sincerely trusts that
these new recruits may prove spir-
itual strength to the personnel of
that church and not mere addition
of names as is too often the case
these days with a large per cent of
the recruits into all of our churches.
With these remarks we feel that ev-
cry expectation mot meaning a Ia
holcombe one, however,) has been
met by this newspaper as to this
meeting, and we would close by ad-
ding that these lines are penned by
the editor on the cars far away but
with heart of love to all the chris
tians of the several denominations in

The subject of consolidation and
free transportation is one that is be-
ing discussed throughout our entire
country. 1t is being given proper
attention and encouragement n
some sections, while in others it is
not. really think that in commu-
mites where it is meeting with the
least approval is where it is least I'M
derstood, that is where the people
least understand the benefits to be
derived from il, or where they are
least considered about a more sue
cessfuI school system.
Small schools, unqualified teachers,
uncomfortable and unequipped school
buildings, small salaries, little inter-
est on the part of the parents, teach
ers and pupils. small attendance,
short terms, and lack of sanitary
conditions have been the inevitable
and unsatisfactory results of our
school system. In communit S
where the people have taken advan-
tage of the law authorizing cOnsoli-
dation and free transportation, the
results have been the reverse and
quite satisfactory.
Now, don It anyone get scared and
cry out pessimist. do not want to
be understood as saying that our ru-
raj school system has been failure:
no indeed, we have enjoyed the priv
ileges and accommodations of such,
and we should never fail to bethank-
full that things are as we'll with US as
what they are. 1t was our duty to
make the, most possible use of the
opportunities that the past has af-
forded us, and it is likewise our duty
to make the most possible use OF the
opportunities afforded US now. AS [
said above, our rural school system
has not been failure; but | do say
that the results have been far from
satisfactory. How many boys and
girls have been educated IN our rural
schools? How many have gone out
of the country schools prepared to
! meet the stern duties of life? Stop
friends and answer these questions.
When we consider that about ninety
per centum of our boys and girls
never get any high school training,
but are compelled to depend on our
common schools for their training.
should we not wake up to the full
sense of our duty?
Think of the complexity of our
system of government, of the COM
plexity of our system of commerce,
of the demands that are being made
on us by society; then think of your
boy and girl going out into the world
to try their fortunes amid these
complexities with no training only
that given by our present rural
school system. Wake up Greene
Countians and give your boys and
girls better rural school facilities.
The only sane and sensible way to

man who said that the little one
teacher school must go and have es-
tablished in It's place the large cen
tralized school district. When we

for the benefit of any community
which may be considering the con-
solidation question that all that you
have to do TO be in keeping with the
law authorizing consolidation and
free transportation and the State de-
partment of education, is to call meet
ing of the patrons of the proposed
consolidated district and first decide
on the location of school building,
which decision should be based on
the following reasons, to wit: First
the strongest school or social center
in the proposed consolidated district
should be selected. Second, if this
is not agreeable, the rocatlon should
be made with reference to good road
facilities; but the location should
never be in the center of the district
unless by so doing you can lessen the
transportation expense.
The School Board will grant con-
solidated school district on a petition
of majority of the tax payers of the
proposed district.
desire to call the attention of
the Greene County teachers to the
Lucedale Normal. This Normal was
made possible by the united efforts
of the Superintendent of Perry,

the three Counties. To all tt e

this Normal | hereby pledge myself
to make it profitable to them from
the standpoint of salary by Offering
them $500 per month more for their
