EXAMINATION OF CANDIDATES
and Regulations for
Examination of Candidates for
The Office of County Superin-
tendent of Education. 1915

In order to simplify and systematic
the work on the part of the Board of
Examiners in connection with the ex-
animation of candidates for the office
of county superintendent in the various
counties, the State Board of Education
makes the following suggestions and
regulations as to the time and manner
of holding such examinations:
/. An examination will be held in the
office of the State Superintendent on
February 9Th and 9th for such candi-
dates as may desire to take the exam
ination at Jackson at an early date.
2. Examinations will be held at the
county seats in the various counties on
March the 9TH and 9th under an exam
iner appointed by the State Board of
Examiners for that purpose. At the
same time a second examination will be
held at the State Superintendent's office
for Others who man desire to come to
Jackson.
3. As provided by law all candidates
for the office of county superintendent
shall pass ar examination on the
branches required for first grade H.
censes and in addition thereto on the
Art of Teaching. The questions on the
Art of Teaching will be based largely
on the school law and the two books:
"A Brief Course in the Teaching Pro-
cess" and, "What Children Study and
Why" which may be had through the
Southern School Book Depository, Jack
son, Mississippi, at SIPS and sl.5O re-
spectively.
a. These examinations must be held
under the same regulations as govern
teachers examinations. All candidates
are urged to comply with these suggses-
tions as to the dates as far as possible.
Respectfully,
w. H. SMITH,
Pres. State Board of Education.

THE SECRET OF SUCCESS
Genuine Merit Required to Win the
Peoples Confidence

Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is that SO many products that are ex-
tensively advertised. all at once drop
out of sight and are soon forgotten?
The reason is plain-the article did not
fulfil the promises of the manufacturer.
This applies more particularly to a medi-
cine. A medicinal preparation that has
real curative value almost sells itself,
as like an endless chain system the
remedy is recommended by those who
have been benefited, to those who are
in need of it.
A prominent druggist says Take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a
preparation | have sold for mary years
and hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy that | know of
has so large a SALE"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who
have used the preparation, the success
of DIR. Kilmer's Swamp-Roo is due to
the fact that it fulfls almost every wish
in overcoming kidney, liver and bladder
diseases, corrects urinary troubles and
~neutralizes the uric acid which causes
rheumatism.
You may receive a sample bottle of
Swamp Root by Parcels Post. Address
DR.. Kilmer & Co., Binghampton, NY,
and enclose ten cents; also mention The
Grenada Sentinel.

Interesting School Items.
County Superintendent, Teachers ane
Other School Officials,

County Superintendent, Teachers and
Other School Officials,
Gentlemen:
| wish to call your attention to the
splendid piece of work which has been
done in Forrest County through the CO.
operation of the county health officer,
superintendent of education and a rep
resentative of the State Board of
Health.
These men have engaged in an active
campaign, and provided the proper san
itary conveniences at all the schools in
the county both black and white. There
are forty-eight white schools in that
county; each school has provided two
privies, and of the forty-eight pit pri-
vies installed at these schools, twenty
six were built by school trustees, and
twenty-five by the school patrons. This
shows that these people have cooperat-
ed in the most gratifying way. with
the officials mentioned above, in sani-
tating their schools.
There are thirty-two colored schools
in that county and likewise each of
these has been provided with two pri-
vies. 1t might be interesting to men,
| ton that the sanitary index of the white
schools on the basis of privy conditions
before this work, was So per cent, and
now it is rated at rs per cen for the
white schools. The sanitary index of
the negro schools before this work,
was 81 per cent and now it is rated at
rs per cent.
This work will be a great factor in
getting the people to realize the i'm
mense value of having proper santa
ton at their homes in the prevention of
typhoid fever, hookworm disease and
other bowel troubles.
AS State Superintendent of Educa-
tian, | wish to most heartily commend
this work, and l trust you may find it
possible to work out a like result.
Respectfully,
w. H. SMITH,
State Sup't Education.

Letter From Former Citizen

Editor Sentinel.
Dear Sir: Inclosed you will please
find stamps to pay for the continuance
of your paper to me at Raleigh, Tenn.
There are some changes taking place
in the Leflore neighborhood at the pres
ent time; Mr.. T. M. Kirby and family
also Mr.. W. I. Allen and family are
moving to Greenwood. while my family
and | are going to make Memphis our
future home.
However, there arr some excellent
people who are going to make Leflore
tn cir home for a while. Mr.. Gordon
Williams, son of an Ex-mayor of Mem
phis, and Mr.. P. F. Lunda, president of
the Southern Heating Co., of Memphis
are to make their home here for a
while. These men are prominently con-
nected with the business affairs of the
above mentioned city, and am sure
will receive from The Sentinel and the
many friends a hearty welcome.
Mr.. A. V. Brewer of New York has
been here for several days looking after
the interests of his large estate.
From the fact that a new four stand
gin of the latest type has been ordered
and they are planning to nov the town
on higher ground shows that there is
still life in the business of Lefiore. Mr..
Brewer is able to do all he is contem-
plating and no doubt the new Letlore
will be a live one.
In closing wish to speak of our short
and pleasant stay in this county. We
shall always retain the fondest remem-
brance of the many good friends we
have made, and as we leave we trus,
Gods care and blessing will ever be
theirs to enjoy. Sincerely,
W. R. BURROW.

Before the invention of toothbrushes
people used to clean their teeth with
linen. This is evident from William
Vaughan's Fifteen Directions to Pre-

the author tells those who want to
keep the teeth white and uncorrupt'
that they must wash the mouth after
every meal, "sleepe with the mouth
somewhat open and in the morn

teeth well within and without" In
Vaughan's time several varieties Of
tooth powder were known. the recipe
for one of the simplest being as fol-
