Jackson, Miss, Nov. 21.-Speaking
of the progress of the agricultural high
schools in this state, Superintendent
Powers, who has just returned from a
visit to these schools in the southern
part of the state, said that it would
astonish anyone who has not seen
some of these schools first hand to
observe the modern methods, equip
ment, furniture, etc. that most of them
have. Brick buildings costing as
much as $4,000, where few years ago
disgraceful looking huts were seen,
are now the order of the times. This
. change has come about recently, and
is having beneficial effect. In many
schools there are five or more teach
ers, where only one few years ago
undertook to educate the children of
these districts.

THE LAST DAYS
OF POMPfIr'

Mr. George Kleine, whose name has
become a household word all over this
since he first launched his
marvellous photo drama production of
"Quo Vadis," is also sponsor for the
beautiful six part photo drama THE
Last Days of Pompeii," which is an
nounced for the Gem one day, matinee
and night, Monday, November oath.
This new production is photo
dramatization of Lord Bulwer Lyt-
tons famous novel of the same title
and adheres closely to the text. The
pathetic yet hopeless love story of the
lovely blind flower girl Nydia is re-
lated in pictorial detail and finds a
sympathetic response in every heart
All the wondrous beauties of the an
cient city of Pompeii and its surround
ings, so thrillingly deserted in Bull
wer's novel, are shown upon the
screen and comprise a series of pic
lures that are a delight to the eye a
all times. The Last Days of Pom

among the big photo drama achieve
ments of the age.

furnishing statistics on American
schools, and which placed Missi sippi
at that time forty-fifth in the list for
efficiency, Mr.. Powers stated that
much of the information was gathered
before Mississippi began climbing up
ward in school improvement, and that
the negro schools were included in the
reports. This is handicap, but in
spite of that, Mississippi even at that
time appeared at the top of those
states in efficiency that have very
large colored populations.
An idea of school conditions as re-
CARDS the races is given by referring
to Kinds, with the largest population;
Washington with the greatest number
of colored pupils and Itawamba county,
which has the largest relative white
population. Washington county, &C.
cording to recent report, sends 1880
negro children to school and only 2,1O6
white children. Itawamba county, on
the other hand sends 1926 white chill
dren to school, and only 3S7 colored
children. A better line on the situa-
ton can be had in Kinds county with a
total population of something more
than $4,000. Here 1876 colored chill
dren attend the public schools, and
| only 5,4S7 white children. In the city
of Jackson, the second largest city and
capital of the state, 2,642 white chill

It was decided to postpone the

tons to be named. It is thought,
however, that most of the present
district deputies will be re-appoint-

Polite Reply.

A few weeks ago DIR. Evans, of
Chicago, one of the foremost
health authorities in the country,
wrote an article on fresh air.
Shortly after he received the fol-
lowing letter:
81 have just read an article on
the fresh air bug in the Tri-
bune's Workers Magazine sec.
ton. The fresh air bug is get
ting to be a nuisance. The doc
tors could do a great deal to ex-
terminate this bug by giving
proper instructions when recon-
mending fresh air and open win
dows, by adding how harmful it is
to have a draft in the room or for
enc to sit in a draft in an office or
school. My little girl once got
diphtheria from a draft in school
Just because a big husky boy be-
hind her insisted on having the
window behind him wide open"
Here is DIR. Evans polite but
strongly suggestive reply:
81 can easily remember when
the people who thought drafts
gave them diphtheria and who
all sorts of similarly foolish ideas
were in the majority. Now the
people who want to breathe air
befouled by other people are III
the minority, though there are
more of them than Of the people
who want to drink sewage. The
sewage drinkers and the sewage
breathers are getting fewer all the
time"
