while there received a very
f1attering offer from a large
millinery concern in Beebe,
Arizona. who had learned of her
ability in this line Of business.
She accepted and was soon on
the ground ready for business,
and was so we'll pleased she

The Grown in Mississippi

organizations and prominent
citizens. The movement stands
for growing rather than import

pork, beef, hay, all of which

abundantly as any State in the

knowledge and appreciation of
Mississippi, her resources, in
stitutions and people,
In harmony with the spirit of
this movement and based on the
idea that the ultimate solution Of
the problems involved must
come through education and be-
gin with the children, the State
Department proposes to help
along in the movement by an
effort to enlist all the teachers
and school children of the state.
1t is proposed to devote part of
each day for at least one week
Immediately proceeding Thanks
giving Day, to a study by the
schools, of the products and
natural resources of the respec-
tive communities. In co-opera-
ton with the Commissioner of
Agriculture and other extension
agencies, this Department will
supply outlines and suggestions
for use in the schools indicating
how to direct this study and in
vestigation so as to include all
kinds of community resources,
enterprises and institutions.
Each school will be expected to
collect an exhibit Of things
grown and found in the COM
munity and close the week with
this exhibit and a basket dinner
at the school house on Thanks
giving Day, serving only Missis-
sppi products. To add to the
social and educational phase of
the meeting a program of songs,
recitations, readings and ad-
dresses in which parents and
children will take part, will be
provided along with the outlines
and other suggestions. Some
local citizen will make an ad-
dress on, Grown in the Com
munity" what it means.
This brings the slogan Grown
in Mississippi down to the pri-
NAL, social, and educational unit,
the community, and takes ad-
vantage of the natural order in
the process of education which is
from the immediate to the re-
mote, from the known to the
unknown, when seven hundred
and fifty thousand school child
rem, with their teachers and par
ents, know, love and appreciate
their respective communities,
then will nearly two million
Mississippians know, love anG
appreciate Mississippi.
1t is the purpose of the De-
partment of Education to CO.
operate with all other organiza.
tons and extension agencies
through the schools to the END
that the schools may become
vital factors in working out all
our problems and that the proper
intellectual content may bt
given to all the activities of the
people. The value of the work
done by the schools through the
boys and girls industrial cluI
work in Mississippi and through
out the country, is known ano
recognized by every observer OF
such movements and furnishes
evidence that the teachers and
school children of Mississippi
can and will render valuable
service in enlarg 'ng the outlook
for Mississippi agricultural and
business enterprises.
