HORSE STORY
SOUNDS LIKE
NIGHT MARE

East Chicago, rather that section
of 1t known as Calumet, has been in
the throes of a wild horse scare for the
past few days, according to owen Reed
who claims to have witnessed the most
exciting incident of the experience
from the bridge he is building over in
Grasselu
The ANIMAL is described as large and
black and ferocious beyond the dreams
of the wild west cow-puncher.
1t is said to have broken one mans
leg, and hurled dog which barked at
II into eternity, or at least forty feet
toward eternity.
Mr.. Reed is the only man who could
be found who would vouch for the
! story, some of the residents who live
in the vicinity in which the animal is
| alleged to be pursuing its fiery and un-
tanned course, declaring that it must

one whirl the horse took flight, yank-

here is one that cannot be changed
and that must be met as it is.
The Illinois superintendent spoke in
terestingly of the schools fhis state
and seemed to be of the opinion that
the Mississippi educational system is
being developed in such manner that
it will eventually be very similar to
that of Illinois. He believed that the
opening of the Panama canal would
be great boom to the industrial life
of the South.
In reply to a question as to what he
thought of the popular movement for
the establishment of schools of vo-
cational training in Mississippi he re-
piled that he did not believe in educa-
ton with the single purpose of training
he children for making money and that
the cultural branches that will give
the student the ability to appreciate
the good things and the beautiful
things of life are equally as important.
Pennsylvania Schools.
Mr.. Schaefer of Pennsylvania told
about the purely vocational schools of
his state where the schools are estab-
lished to suit the interests of the place
they are located in. These vocational
schools are different from the agri-
cultural schools of the state in that
they teach only the trades, whereas
the vocational schools of Mississippi
have general course of education.
He asked what would the people of
this section turn to when the timber is
exhausted, and seemed to thing the
answer lies in the development of d.
versified industries with especial at
tention given to farming. One of the
manufacturing industries suggested
was hosiery mill, such as those in his
state, which use the cotton grown in
the South.

that it is worth any mans trip to Eu-
rope to know how good it feels to get
back home.
e. L. Bailey, superintendent of city
schools, Jackson, paid a tribute to the
work being done by the honored
guests for education in America.
j. w. Bell, of the University, in
speaking of boyhood school days, COM
plimented the state on it's progress in
school architecture, especially in the
type expressed in the Normal College
buildings for which Hattiesburg and
Forrest county are entitled the credit
of having provided for teachers of
Mississippi.
Mr.. Calhoun, superintendent of pub
lie schools of Covington county, spoke
briefly of the trouble one gets into
when he undertakes to consolidate
rural schools, but said he was proud
of the progress Covington is making
in this direction.
DR.. T. T. Bailey, formerly of the
University, said Mississippi, once
state proud of it's blue blood, is now
a state prouder of its red blood.
H. B. Heidelberg, of Clarksdale city
schools, was proud of Mississippi, and
while the delta section has its black
problem and is now riding high on
the water wagon, he was proud of
what it is and what it will be.
DR.. Shaefer, called upon to close
the talkfest and pronounce his bene-
diction, said this, his first day on
Mississippi soil, had been a delightful
one and as it had been said the best
menu" for a banquet was me and
you" he had been especially pleased
on this occasion in being privileged
to sit with the kind host (Mr Bass)
on one side and Joe Cook on the 9TH
er. His position next to Mr. Bass had
brought him nearer heaven than he
had been for long time, as it is SAID
that one of the features of heaven is
that there is no parting or dyme
there and a look at the hosts shtnin
pate would convince anyone no had
these heavenly qualities. y.
Mr.. Shaefer said as to the benedic-l
ton. he would express it in the wish
that Mississippi may have more money
for her schools, better salaries for her
teachers and long life for the superin-
tendent of Greenville city schools.

EDUCATION. FOR PARTICIPATION
IN DIVERSIFIED INDUSTRIES
HON r. G. BLAIR OF ILLINOIS, AND scHAEFFER OF PENN
CONSIDER THAT MOST IMPORTANT PHASE OF SCHOOL
UNDERTAKEN IN MISS

Because of the vast difference in con-
ditiohs in the South and in their home
state. neither Mr.. Nathan C. Schaef-
er, State Superintendent of Pennsyl-
iania, nor Mr.. F. G. Blair, State Super
intendent of Illinois, would venture an
assertion as to what they believed to
be the greatest need of the educational
system in this state, but ma CONVEX
sation with representative of The
News both of these eminent educators
seemed to be pleased with the move
ment that has been started for voca-
tional training and with the founda-
ton that has been laid for broad and
comprehensive public school system in
Mississippi. Both of them stated that
they believed that education for par
ticipation in diversified industries was
probably the most important phase of
school work that could be undertaken
in this State, as it has proved to be in
their own States Neither Mr.. Schaef-
er nor Mr.. Blair, however, would en-
dorse the teaching of vocational sub
tects to such an extent that academic
or cultural education would be neg
lected.
Double School System.
Mr.. Blair stated that with the double
1ystem of schools for the whites and
he negroes he believed that Missis-
dppi was accomplishing remarkable
esults. He said that in eighteen coun-
lies of Illinois. much more thickly
populated than the average county in
Mississippi, double school systems are
maintained and that in those counties
the schools could not be developed as
highly as in other parts Of the state
because of the expense of maintaining
two systems of schools. He seemed
to realize, however, that the condition
