SCHOOL WORK AT BESSIE MINES

Whatever tends to uplift humanity
 affairs Our public schools are great build
 CTS for the state. Education is the hope
 of the land. Educate the mind and the l hand together is a maxim of today. Man no longer lives on his wits alone, but he must exercise all of his faculties to be a
 modern citizen worth while. Sign posts
 that stand and point are seldom seen on
 the highway, a great broad road, well
 built, points to the right direction. Thus | it is with the man or woman branch 1 ing out from our modern schools to play
 their part in the affairs of today; they
 must be broad and well built for duty
 There never was a greater opportunity for the child than now, the state and people realize the necessity of giving them a chance The schoolroom is their starting point in life, and knowing this, legislation has rendered a valuable ser
 else in forwarding the interests through the medium of better schools and we'll equipped teachers. The day has passed when anybody can teach; the teacher must be trained as the child to duty; trained not only to hear the lesson, but to intelligently make the lesson worth while to the pupil; that they digest the thought and retain the substance to make ready for the lesson to follow. The whole course of study In the public schools. the grad ed course, is universal in the state, the same books apply to each separate class; the work has been mapped out by careful study and contemplation by learned men and women who know the needs of the pupils mind just as the doctors know the the diet for his patient.
 The school, the teacher and pupils need arof f i<,x1 Il teacher probably studies the nature and needs of child more closely than the parent, she knows their forces and their foibles only by personal aid rem dered one to the other can best re- suits be obtained The child at home and the child in the school are two different characters, perhaps parent and teacher must blend their best ele- ments and overcome the weak-they can only do this by personal touch, one With the other. Again think of the varied lessons we receive in the school room today-yesterday we carried a well crowded satchel full of boolSs--had our recitations, our recesses and our "kept-ins"-today we have the arts and sciences woven with our literary course that makes the lesson more worth while. Boys and girls can leave our public schools of this time with a trade. The manual training has de- veloped the mechanical turn-the draw ing has encouraged the architect and so on down, until the boy has his "job" before he leaves the schoolroom And the girls-think of teaching sewing and cooking along with all the rest. Fitting the young girls to nobler womanhood because when she finds she can really sew-make things to wear -she has acquired one of the great est economical factors at her command

WRIGHT NEW DIXIE
 TENNIS CHAMPION
Boston Player Downs Phelps of New Orleans in the Final
 Round

New Orleans, May 30.-Irving Wright of Boston became southern singles tennis champion today when he defeated Esmond Phelps of New Orleans in the final match of the southern tournament, which began here Monday.
 The scores were 7-5: 6-1; 6-3
 The Bostonian also shares with J. Adoue of Dallas the title of southern champion in mems doubles.
 Phelps played a strong game in the first set The speed and accuracy of his serving troubled the Boston player con- sderably and time and again he scored with long, swift drives to the back line. Wright finally won the set with clever headwork and persistent cutting. The other two sets were won in easy fash ion. Phelps attempted 70 play cautious game at the expense of speed, but only succeeded in giving Wright a chance to display his cleverness at placing. Wright placed Phelps slow returns, first to the right, then to the left, and then back to the right side for the point. All during the tournament Wright's playing was an exhibition of clever headwork and stead- mess, combined with a baffling cut that hung on the bound with persistence that was too much for the southern player.
 The defeat of Miss I. N1urphy, holder of the ladies singles, by Miss E. Legendre. both of New Orleans, was one of the surprises of the tournament. Miss Leg endre won by scores of 2-6: 6-2; 10-S.
 After losing the first set in champions ship mixed doubles, R. B. Logan and Miss l. Murphy easily defeated A. c. Waters and Miss E. Legendre, all of New Orleans by a score of 4-6; GA; 6-1.

WORK BEGUN ON NEW
 POOL AT EAST LAKE
Will Be Largest Outdoor Natatorium in South-Aquatic Sports Are
 Popular Now

Work has been begun by F. F. West and H. H. Black on the wading and bathing pool at the west or city, end of East Lake park. which when completed will be the largest outdoor natatorium in the south, to be used exclusively for family swimming and bathing parties and as wading pool for the children
 Aquatic sports are an important phase or the amusement and diversion Which East Lake park provides the public The sand beach at the east end of the lake and the new bathhouse, With separate, modern facilities for both women and men having attracted hundreds of those of both sexes who enjoy bathing and swimming since C. M. Davis was placed in charge.
 However, when the new pool is com pleted. from comments which have been heard on every hand, this form of sport will be the most popular of them all, as ladies, girls and children may enjoy the water in way which hith- erto has not been accessible.
 The new pool nearly an acre in ex- tent, with brick walls and a solid, smooth concrete floor will be very shallow for two-thirds of its length, just deep enough for the children to wade in and splash around. The low CT, or west end of the pool will be just about breast high for the larger children and young ladies who wish to | swim.
 On the second floor of the dancing i pavilion, connected with the pool by a covered marquise or walkway with broad, even steps apon which to de- | scend to the bank of the pool, ladies' dressing rooms are being constructed with every modern convenience and the announcement that the pool is open to the public may be expected this coming week.

 Tt has not been determined" he added ''who will introduce it. But the bill will be prepared and will be introduced. There is no question but that the sen- timent against the lease system is over whelming. Any test which could be sub mitted to the people would prove that claim. The lease system is indefensible and must go. We would not bankrupt the state, but the principle involved is too important for a great state longer to ignore"

 sThousands of children will soon be using these pools," said MT. Nespor, and we want to ask the cooperation of par ents to prevent the throwing of glass and rocks into the water. 1t is unfair to the children who want to wade and the glass might cut their feet seriously.
 If parents will realize the importance of stopping the practice of throwing mis- eiles in the water l feel sure it can easily be stopped"
