To Tupelo School Improve
ment Association

The thanks of our city are due
you for the interest you have
taken in those things which tend
to upbuild our city schools. Your
effort toward identifying the
school grounds and looking to
the keeping of the building in a
more perfect condition of clean
illness are doubly commendable.
AS one deeply interested in the
public schools of our city, | want
to put you'on guard lest your at
tention and efforts be diverted
from a channel of the greatest
importance to the large number
of boys and girls of our city, that
of offering facilities to those
pupils who may so choose to
equip themselves for such duties
as they may select after gradu.
ating from our schools.
The percentage of boys and
girls who. enter college subse-
quent to their graduation from
the public schools of Mississippi,
is only five per cent. Why should
we not offer better advantages
to the remaining ninety-five per
cent, or that quota of same as
may wish greater opportunities?
If the School Improvement
Association will vigorously take
hold of this progressive step and
place this urgent need plainly
before the mothers and fathers
of Tupelo, you will find a prompt
responsive chord from a large
majority.
1t is we'll, and very commend
able, to look closely after things
material, but there are much
higher duties due the coming
generation than those of a ma
terial nature. viz, that of offer
ing every advantage at our COM
mand toward the uplift intellect
ually and morally of our boys
and girls.
Let's get Tupelo on the top
rung, in so far as public school
advantages are concerned.

Sunday School Convention

SASStS0 NJ WI NoAANSJ oNAAON"
the Presbyterian church as a
representative TO the state con-
vention, which met at Tupelo on
Wednesday of last week, depart
ed on the morning OF the same
day and remained throughout the
session, which closed on Friday
night about II o'clock. 1t was a
most interesting occasion and
several hundred delegates at
tended from all over the state.
Some counties had more than a
half dozen representatives. The
respective churches of the towns
were represented as were also
the churches of the country
throughout the state. We are
pleased to say that our town and
county was we'll represented.
One would have to attend one of
these conventions to have an idea
of the broad work it does and
how far reaching the influence.
1t is the gathering and concen-
tration of experienced and spir-
ituaI workers and it embraces /
that build up the Kingdom of God
in this life. 1t would require a
volume of many pages to record
what was done at the convention.
Everybody had something to do
all of the time. We noticed that
rather full and satisfactory re-
ports appeared in the daily pa
pers and, besides, the many del
egates will make reports to their
schools.
Tupelo is. no doubt, one of the
most progressive and best towns
within the state with a population
between 1000 and 5000 people,
certainly nearer 5000. 1t is one
of the neatest kept towns that
we have ever visited; no paper or
other trash is thrown into the
streets; stores and private resi-
dences keep covered cans in
which all trash is placed and
taken away by the corporation
wagons. The sewerage system
is the best within the state, we
believe. The sidewalks, which
extend out in every direction are
of the best, and are the best
streets within the south. Tupelo
and Lee county cannot be sur
passed for good streets and good
roads. 1t would pay any county
that contemplates building good
roads to visit that county and
confer with those people who
know how and do build good
roads; they have something to
show for the money expended
and have passed the experimental
point. There are many points of
interest there and 1t was our
pleasure to visit the fish hatch
cry, through the courtesy of DR..
J. O. Gurney, city and county
health officer. 1t is something
more than we thought for or ex-
| pected to see.
We were the guest of Mrs. L.
J. Gurney. mother of the doctor,
and to her and other members of
the family, her accomplished
daughter, Miss Mary, and other
son, Ernest, we are indebted for.
their cordial hospitality and many
uniform courtesies. DR.. Gurney,
though a very busy man, showed
us more courtesies than we could
have expected. taking US from
place to place that was pleasant
and interesting.
We think that Tupelo has one
of the most inviting fields for one
OF the largest creameries of any
place we know of and it looks
strange that such an industry
should be overlooked by that pro-
gressive and entergrising people.
