VALUABLE INFORMATION
For Teachers and Students Preparing for Exam
 nations

tions, suggestions and reglla-
 tions submitted to the state
 board of education last Saturday
 at it's meeting in Phoenix. They
 are published at the request of
 Prof. Joseph Peterson, county
 superintendent of schools for Navajo county, for the purpose of placing the information con- tained therein before the readers of the News.
 The special good that is to be derived from this examination will be found no doubt in It's force to stimulate work and to secure uniform work and thor ough scholarship. The examina- tion can bemade so hard and pre- clpitate the first year as to pro- duce wholesale failure, general Encouragement and disapproYal. It should be understood, that to begin with at least. it is not to be a sink or swim proposition en- tirely, but that we are going to proceed safely and falrly, and as we go on have harder and more exacting requirements from year to year.
 Our idea is to place in the hands of teachers, principals. city superintendents. and county superintendents every necessary saving license for the first year. To observe. as far as we can con- veniently. uniformity in time and places of holding examinations, in the grades to be used in mak- ing promotions, Tn the manner and means of conducting exam nations. Tn the methods of ex- amining papers. etc.. but still to leave leeway sufficient to enable each county school superinten- dent to follow to quite an extent plans of his own choosing. In this way different methods in the initial examination can be tried out that. as experlments, may be valuable in determining what is best to adopt later for general usage.
 We suggest that county school superintendents give due notice in local papers and by other means of time, place. and man. ner of holding examinations; that they hold the examinations as far as can be conveniently | done at central points; that part ies grading papers study care fully the results to the end Of ascertaining as far as may be the points on which the various schools of the state are at vari- ance in following out the course of study, and the minimum es- sentials on which the schools should all work together.
 All pupils who have completed the eighth grade work Tn the public schools of the state to be entitled to promotion shall take a written examination in the fol- lowing subjects: Arithmetic. spelling, writing, and 
 The examination will be bases on work done in:
 Arithmetic: Southworth- Stone Arithmetic Book II. Eighth grade work and review.

 tions, grade papers, and deter mine by combining examination and recitation grades what pupils are entitled to certificates of pro- motion, regularly admitting them to the High Schools and to the Normal Schools of the State.
 In finding promotion grades, examination grades are to have but one third the value of recita- tion grades. For example: A pupil receives 50 per cent in ari- thmetic Tn examination and is al- lowed in the same subject an 88 per cent recitation grade. find promotion grade as follows:
 50 per cent Examination grade in arithmetic.
 88 per cent Recitation grade in arithmetic.
 88 per cent Recitation grade in arithmetic.
 These percentages added to- gether and divided by 8 will give the promotion grade, or 753.
 753 per cent Promotion grade in arithmetic.
 Or working is out the same way the pupil would receive a 753 average promotion grade if he made an average of 50 per cent Tn examination and were allowed an average 88 per cent recitation grade.
 All pupils who have completed the work of the eighth grade in the public schools of the State to be regularly promoted to the High Schools or to the Normal Schools of the State, must in the manner above set forth secure a promotion average of at least 75 per cent and minimum promo ton grade of at least 65 per cent in every subject in which an ex- animation IS required.
 For the year 1915 a teacher, principal. or city superintendent and the county superintendent of schools may issue a trial promo tion certificate to any pupil who has taken the eighth grade ex- animation but has failed to make the required promotion grades. Such a certificate will entitle holder to enter on trial any high school in his own county provid- ed the certificate is approved by the principal of the school the pupil is to enter, and provided also the certificate is made on a blank furnished by the Secretary of the State Board of Education and a duplicate of the certificate issued is filed with said Secre- tary of the Board of Education.
 Each county school superinten- dent shall prepare and furnish the regular certificate of promo ton blanks for his respective county.
 The Secretary of the State Board of Education shall prepare and furnish the trial promotion certificate blanks. Reports of eighth grade ex- aminations shall be made to the State Board of Education by parties grading the papers on blanks furnished by the state superintendent of public instruc- ton.
 Examinations in Music and Drawing may be given by a teacher. principal. or city super intendent having charge of a school, but are not required by the State Board of Education.
 All examination papers must be filed with the County School Superintendents and held on file subject to review by the State Board of Education.

NOT EAGLE LAKE, EITHER.

Biloxi, Miss, Aug. 19.-In discus
sing the game law with F. L. Paten-
otte today he took occasion to tell OF
a hunt he took years ago when he
flushed a large cOyey of quail on a
knowl surrounded by a dense under
growth. In rising the birds made
such a fluttering noise with their
wings as to discomfort him, and he
shot aimlessly at and missed them.
Reaching the underground the covey
was safe from all danger and know
ing this as well as the birds, Mr.. Pat
enotte did not pursue them. A few
days later he went to the same place
with the same result, but in the third
attempt he used a net and with it
caught the whole covey, q birds, and
the dog which found them. AS the
dog "set" them, he HE'D it on and
as they arose he cast his net, making
a catch of them all.

FIRE AT SEMINARY.

Seminary, Miss, Aug. II. - Last
night about o'clock fire broke out in
the j. NJ Kelly store at this place and
was so far advanced before it was dis
covered that it was impossible to save
the building or any of the stock to
speak of. Only a few items were re-
moved from the building before the
ceiling was falling in. From this
building the fire spread to the post
office building and the warehouse of
J. NJ. Kelly, and the grist mill of A.
E. Aultman caught on fire time or
two, but the heroic efforts of the vol
unteer fire fighters saved this building
as well as others that were in the i'm
mediate path of the fire.
1t is understood thet the pOstoffice
building was partially covered by in
surance and most of the furniture to-
gether with the records were saved
The store building and stock was
also partially covered by insurance
the loss is estimated at about $4,000

DR.. BlRDSONG PARDONED.

Jackson, Miss, Aug. Ex-Governor
Brewer this afternoon granted par
don to DR.. T. B. Birdsong, sent up
from Copiah seven years ago to serve
4 life term for murder.
The pardon was issued for meritori-
Gus service. DR.. Birdsong has made
model prisoner, and on several oc-
casions has rendered service of ex-
ceptional value to the state. Cover
nor Brewer has had it in mind for
some time to restore him to liberty.
The crime for which DR.. Birdsong
was sent up for life was the killing
of DR.. Pitts, prominent physician at
Hazlehurst. DIR. Birdsong is a dentist
by profession, and he occupied a suite
of offices at Hazlehurst adjoining
those of DIR. Pitts The killing, ap-
parently without any motive, was
done while DIR. Birdson was badly in
toxicated. After being placed under
arrest he manifested the most sincere
grief, and had no recollection what
ever of having committed the crime
No defense was attempted at the trial
and he was sentenced to serve a Lille
term.
Since his Incarceration DR.. Birdsone
has been acting rs the prison dentist
