The indications are that the slogans. Grown in Mssissippt-Made IN
Mississippi will have a prominent place IN the school program throughout
Mississippi during Thanksgiving week. when all of the schools Of the state
Will give a specific place in connection with a study OF things grown and
and citizens in a n effort to get better acquainted with community resources,
farm products garden and orchard possibilities, forest trees and flowers, and
all kinds Of animal and vegetable life 10 varied, valuable and attractive.
This movement q the part of the schools is in harmony with sound edu-
cational doctrine. An intelligent and sympathetic attitude Of mind on the
part of the individual toward the inanmate and animate things with which
ment Of a welproportoned physical and spiritual character 1t changes the
monotony of common things into objects of beauty and harmonious variety:
1t turns lifaess drudgery into a pleasant task and transforms the human
machine into n intelligent, seltwiling member Of society.
The purpose of the school, from the states viewpoint. is to get q maxi
mum product in efficient citizenship from the community where 1t is located.
The measure of efficiency in citizenship is the skill and spirit with which the
citizen contributes his part to the economic, social and spiritual welLbeing
of all the people. The purpose of the school from the local community view
point is to organize the community social life. to inspire 1t with national.
state and local ideas, to increase It's prosperity and to bring the whole com.
munty into possession Of the benefits Of modern invention and the most
recent achievements in science and art, To do Thu. the school must lead
first to a knowledge Of the world around it and with this knowledge as a basis
1t an interpret and assimlate world events. The best" In history and ntera-
ture can be made attractive and the highest cultural value brought out through
relating them properly to the experiences and activities of the community.
This movement is another step toward a properly balanced course Of
study, in that it seeks to join together the Practical and the cultural in
education. 1t means to put life into books and ideals into common life activt-
ties. 1t will help the school in its effort to become a vital factor in commu.
nifty development, instead Of standing as a recruiting station for the pro-
fesslons and cities, calling from the country neighborhood its brightest young
m and women to become leaders in other places for other people. +I

ceives cordial support from all neighborhood agencies.
This movement stands for equality of opportunity, a more profitable sys-

TIE MISSION OF CHARTS.
Great Educator Praises Use OF Prae'
teal Means Of Education.

The chart Is to play a vital part in
the education OF the public in the fu-
ture. In discussing this idea DR.. A. e.
Wtuship, editor Of the Journal Of Ed
u~cation, says the idea is not new, but
the new use OF it Is a revelation.
At the Plymouth church In Wash
ington there are charts in the large
yestibule which preach a more power
ful temperance sermon than could be
nut in words. These charts are star
ting. attractive and vital, but the
most significant of all charts In
themselves and in their use are those
made by Prof. P. G. Holden for the
teaching Of the vital facts about coun-
try life and agricultural helps and
h%indrances.
They are available for anyone who
cares to lecture upon any OF the fol-
lowing subjects: Corn, Alfalfa. Soils.
Live Stock, Dairying. Oats, Poultry,
Weeds. the House Fly, Diversified
Farming in the South, and Why Teach
Agriculture in Schools and Home
Economies.
These charts catch the eye and hold
the interest until the speaker has I'm
ished, In their present form they are
the result Of many years thought and
experience with practical farming.
Early in life Professor Holden had the
idea that facts presented strikingly to
the eye leave a deeper impression
than facts stated in so many words.
This is why the Holden charts nee
seen and understood are not forgot
