The GRENADA SENTINEL.
GRENADA. MISS.
Q. r. LAWRENCE. EoroR AND Pusl,sAgR
Entered at the Poa Office at Grenada. Miss. as SesOnd-Cias Mail Matter
WHY GRENADA COLLEGE?

The Sentinel asks of its readers in Grenada and immediate vi
ciuitv. especially, that they read the statement OF Dr.. h. lounusS,
few of us, we fear, appreciate properly what we have at our doors in
Grenada College. 1t is a we'll managed institution. 1t has the best
talent that can be secured as instructors. The writer is n a position
TO compare the work at Grenada College with some other well
known institutions for girls, and we unhestatngly stale that the
course of study and instruction is as high and equal to the best col
leees in the state. There are not s many students that the indt
vidual is lost sight of 1t Grenada College. Every student is person
ally known to the president and by every member OF the faculty,
and there is everything to appeal TO that which is best in a girl and
that is calculated to develop her into full rounded womanhood. The
training there. The musical instructors have always been good. but
those for the coming session are European trained and If 1t can be
said that one departments better than another, it is the department
of music.
Those parents in Grenada who send their daughters to Grenada
College should put. them under the direct control of the College and
n social engagements should be a allowed unless the College author
tiles sanction them and when the daughter is entered, require her to
90 continuously and to take the work allotted her.
The College brings more money directly to Grenada than any
other enterprise in the town. The girls do much of their shopping
here, and fathers with grown daughters know about what 1t takes to
keep a girls wardrobe in order. .
The Conference gives about $4,000 annually to the College. all
of which is put in improvements and additions, so it is readily seen
that the College is the means of turning quite a large sum loose in
Grenada.
We have sometimes thought that the College did not get that
support and encouragement that it is justly entitled to in this city
and county. Parents ought to desire to keep their girls, and boys,
too. for that matter, under their immediate care as long as possible;
therefore, those living in Grenada and vicinity should consider them
selves fortunate indeed. President Countiss is a scholarly man. He
culiar conditions of this section and can be relied upon to take a
and reasonable view of any matter. He is no theorEt. and is
a christian gentleman. So we would say to our people that you
have the best at your door in Grenada College, and local pride as
well as the just demands of requitng for that which we get, should
prompt one and all to constitute themselves a agents to send girl:
to Grenada College,
The next session promises to have the largest enrolment in the
history of the College.

The Amory Times does not understand why Col. LeRoy lay
lors closest friends have not joined the few of Col. Montgomerys
and Charlie Smiths who are "cusslng" Gov. Brewer. We suppose
it is because they know that Col. Taylor has been criminaly care
less and negligen, n performing the dutiesto which the people elect
ed him. They know that had Col. Taylor and the other two trustees
been in the employ of a private individual or private concern and
had the proceeds, from the farm or farms in their charge, fallen OFT
S26s 900. 90, in ONE year. when the crop was good and the prices
good. they would have been discharged.
We know the time has been that when the Colonies" and other
men of "arstocratic famiGes" in Mississippi were elected to office,
that nobody dared question anything they did or left undone. 1t Gov.
Brewer has erred in raising a protest against the conduct OF Penten-
tiarv affairs and crookedness generally. then our constitution is
wrong when it says "the Governor shall see that the laws are faith
fully executed and it should be written in the oath which the Gov
ernor is required to take that "the Governor shall ask fer the en-
forcement of the law against the poor man and the man without in
fuence; when men of prominent families break the law or fail to
live up to their official duties, they shall not be disturbed"
The Governor being a plain, commons sense man, takes the law
as it IS written, and it is his opinion that it applies to all alike.
In Justice to Col. Taylor, it should be remembered that he has
been in a very bad state of health for a long while and has been in no
condition to give the affairs Of the penitentiary his personal auen-
ton, but his physical inhrmities have not changed the law and in
asmuch as he is still drawing the salary of the Office of trustee, the
people have a right % make legal demands of him.

The County Institute.

About one-half of the rural white
teachers of our county met Supt. V. K.
James and myself the co~nductor-at
the court house in an institute last
week. Some textbook work was done,
but in the main there were lectures in
which the teachers entered with great
zeal.
At the conclusion the following de-
dnctions were made by the teachers:
Il am a teacher because l like to
teach;' Il am interested in my work.
Il think it a noble occupation 81
love to be with children Teaching
affords me a splendid opportunity to
develop myself along educational lines"
Il love to be among children and child
life is the happiest life;" 81 am fond
of the work and like to assist those
who need help, and it affords me a good
opportunity to grow intellectually" 81
like to live with children, and think
teaching is the noblest occupation
''In moulding the lives of children
Alright | help to build a better future
civilization
Nine other subjects were discussed
just as thoroughly as the one, why
am a teacher"
Next week the institute will be con-
Quoted for the colored teachers. AS
there are many colored teachers in the
country, we shall expect a large crowd
of them. c. G. Lynch,
