dnctive work. under supervision Of in
structors. in shops. out door gardens

be easy for children to do ordinary
school work three hours a day. six
days a week. through eleven months
In the year. AT the same time the
children would contribute largely to
their own support by well directed ed
ucational work. either at home or in
the school, thus making. II possible
for the great majority to remain un-
der instruction throughout the high
school period.
The suggestion that vacations be
abolished may appear to be in the
nature OF a major operation. The
children, at least, would consider r
so. But there is already a tendency
to utilize the summer period under
direction of competent supervisors
school gardens are an indication OF
this tendency, and there is increasing
effort on the part of educators TO
keep in touch with children the year
through.

Field Day at TupeIo

The weather on Friday morn
ing was never more inviting and
the children from the various
schools that belong to the North
east Mississippi Schoolmasters
Club availed themselves of the
opportunity to be present at the
meet and vie with each other in
the athletic and literary events
of the day. All trains arrived
on time, and early in the morn
ing the streets were soon filled
with as happy a throng as could
be gathered together.
Tupelo had made ample provi-
sion for the various events and
programs were distributed di-
rectIng the visitors to the places
of their choice. 1t was necessary
for the events to begin by ten
o'clock as it required practically
the whole day to complete them.
At the COmus theatre music was
first on the program, followed
by expression. At the court
house, at the same hour, the
boys defamation contest took
place, while on the fair grounds
basket ball and tennis were
played.
The program was under the
direction of Professors Windham,
of Iupelo; Meadows, of Amory.
and Mcneil, of Baldwin. They
were assisted in handling the
crowds by the city officials, and
every thing moved off smoothly.
The only accident reported was
that of a young lady who fell
from a wagon near Belden while
returning home and sustained a
fractured arm.
The most exciting contests
were the finishes in both girls
and boys tennis matches, the
poie vault, mile relay race and
high jump.
The following records for this
association were broken: Ham
mer throw, high jump, half-mile
and mile relay race. The papers
