STATE NORMAL HAS
SUCCESSFUL YEAR

give these resolutions to the press
Mr.. Cooks report in full is as fol-
lows:
The Mississippi Normal College
opened the session of 1914-1915 on
September Is, 1914. Believing that
our new dormitory would be complet-
ed by December 1, we did not turn
any students away, but accommodate
ed all who came by placing three in
room. Owing to unforeseen delays,
our new dormitory was not ready for
us to move into it until the 30 of
January. AT that time, we moved in
to the new dormitory all of the wom-
en- who were domiciled in the mems
dormitory and the third woman out of
each room in the womens dormitory.
We had sufficient number of stu
dents on the ground to fill the domi-
tory Immediately.
Dormitories.
We now have three dormitories,
each containing sixty-six rooms and
having abundant bathroom facilities,
assembly room, and parlors. These
three dormitories are of brick. steel
and concrete construction, making
them practically fire-proof. These
dormitories, so far as | have been
able to find out, are the only fire-proof
dormitories in the South. The name
Of the dOrmitory for men is Forrest
County Hall; of the first dOrmitory
for women, Hattiesburg Hall; and OF
the second dormitory for women. Mis-
sissippi Hall. Mississippi Hall is the
new dormitory and is somewhat SUI
perior to either of the others in that
it has a basement, a back porch, and
better-constructed bathrooms. These
dormitories are furnished throughout.
The bedrooms contain two single
beds, a dresser, table, and two
chairs. Each room has a stationary
laboratory and running water, and
each room has two electric Mazda
lamps. The assembly rooms and the
parlOrs are furnished with substan-
tial mission oak furniture.
Appropriations.
The appropriations made by the leg
islature of 1914 have all been used for
the purposes for which they were ap-
propriated except the amount of sup
port fund for the remainder of this
year.
Attendance.
During the thirty-six weeks of the
regular session, there were enrolled
612 students-189 male and 423 fe-
male. This is an increase of nearly
100 over last year.
The summer term opened last Mon
day. May 81, and up to date there
have been enrolled 52S students, 267
of whom are regular session students
who remained over after the close of
the regular session. Many of these
students are teachers, who entered
the Normal College at the close of
The Hattiesburg news. (Hattiesburg, Miss.) 1908-1917, 1915-06-10

dents who remained over will be en-
abled to do two terms work by the
end of the summer term, or one-third
of full sessions work. The Normal
College is thus rendering great ser
vice to the rural teachers because
these teachers have the opportunity,
within three years, to do full ses-
sion of college work. They are not
able to give up their schools and come
a full, continuous session; but, on
account of the fact that our work is
broken up into periods of six weeks
each, they can enter the Normal Col
lege at the close of their schools and
do regular college work. a record of
which is kept. When they have COM
pleted the required amount of work
for certificate or diploma, they re-
ceive certificate or diploma, as the
case may be.
Seventy-six counties out of the
eighty counties have been represent
ed in our student body up to date, and
our dormitories have been full all the
session, clearly proving that there
was a great need for this school. II
it were not for this school, the nearly
1000 students who come here each
year would have no place in the state
where they could get the benefit if
college work.
Discipline.
AS stated in my former reports, we
have very few rules and regulations.
Personal responsibility and individual
sense of right constitute the basis of
our government, and the student body
have responded so heartily to these
principles of government that we have
had no cases of discipline which we
deem necessary to report to this body.
There is a well-established student
government, which is lodged in a body
called the Honor Council, composed
of eight men and seven women. The
council co-Operates with the president
and. faculty in maintaining discipline
and in advocating high ideals of con-
duct.
Course of Study.
Since my last report, no changes
have been made in the course of
study. However, We find that the stu
dents who come to us are deficient
in English and spelling. We have,
therefore, arranged our English
course so that it will include spelling,
and shall try, by having the various
departments closely correlated and
cooperative, to give the necessary in
struction in spelling to those whom
we find deficient. This will put
large amount of extra work upon the
English department, and I, therefore,
recommend that an additional instruc-
tor be provided for that department.
Student Expenses.
During the nine months of the regu-
lar session, the actual cost of board
to a student, exclusive of laundry,
was $3.50, or 1921 per month as an
average. Notwithstanding war prices,
board this session is practically the
same as it was last session, being for
last session $S172. A Students nee
essary, expenses at the Normal Col
lege for the past session were as fol
lows: Board. $3.50; laundry, $500;
naturalization fee, $500; estimated

Two days before, Jim Ridgely, her
sisters fiance, had been struck by
lightning. His recovery, at first de-
SPARED of, now seemed assured, but
he was blind, and the doctors held
out no hope of his regaining his sight.
'"The optic nerve is paralyzed,
they said. There is the barest
chance, but the cure must be a spon-
taneous one, and it must happen
within the next two or three days.
Unless by a miracle that should hap

Julia Crothers was the belle of the
town and Ridgely a rising young
lawyer. Though Julia and Dulcie
were alike in speech and manner, and
were often mistaken for each. other,
when side by side it was plain that
Dulcie was only a poor image Of Julia.
She was generally considered plain;
the difference, however, existed prin-
cipaly in Julia's dashing ways and
Dulcie's Unattractive, simple ones.
Poor Dulcie, whose tender heart
went out to Ridgely, knew that her
heartless sister would never dream
of marrying blind man. She could
