Other grades were equally as
well taught and the pupils dis
played remarkable powers of
memory and analysis. The girls
were quicker and more accurate
in their work than the boys, but
this is generally the case with
the sexes.
The grades and curriculum Of
the school correspond with the
graded schools of the cities and
towns. Graduates from the in
stitution enter the state schools
and finish there. There are pu-
pills from the school in the In
dustrial Institute and College and
the University. Icey W. Day,
the blind member of the House
of Representatives from Attala
county, graduated here and af-
forwards from the law depart
ment of the University. He is a
we'll educated and bright young
man. U. S. Senator Gore, of
Oklahoma, is also a graduate of
the institution.
There was an excellent musical
program rendered by the pupils.
One Of the music teachers is
blind, though does excellent
work. The superintendent and
all the teachers are devtted to
their work. The superintendent
and the teachers are paid the
lowest salaries paid in anv of our
state institutions. The teachers
get $50 90 per month for nine
months and out of this salary
must pay their board, which is
not less than $25. so out of their
salary there is only left net as
much as $3.50 to live on. There
can be nothing left for a rainy
day. The devotion Of the teach
ers to Il csc helpless little fel
lows is something beautiful.
Every care and attention that a
parent can give and show a child
is shown the children by every
one connected with the institu
Ition. / wish every taxpayer Of
the state could visit the institu
ton and see the work of these
noble people in caring for the
states most helpless and deserv.

Our Jackson Letter

Jackson, Miss, Feb. I'll was
sick with grippe last week and
did not get a letter to The Journal
in time for last weeks paper. A
good many members of the House
have been out on accounto of sick
ness, a number Of the Delta
members have been at home on
account of the high water and
with the large number out the
House has not at all times had
much more than a quorum. 1t
is a hard matter to keep the
members in town the last Of the
week, but like school boys. they
look forward to a day of rest on
Saturday.
The entire legislature was in
vited by the business men of
Hattiesburg to visit that city
Saturday and the two houses adj
journed over until Monday. |
did not go on the trip, but stayed
here with the hope that | might
catch up with my correspondence
which has grown very volum-
mons 7 am weeks behind and
every mail increases the number
of letters that come to me asking
me to introduce some bill, sup
mort another or with some request
entirely foreign to legislative
matters. If those who write me
do not hear from me direct will
accept the statement that | can
not find the time to answer their
letters, but will endeavor as far
as possible to comply with their
requests, | will appreciate it very
much. All my time is taken up

mittee work | have to do and at
tend the leg slative sessions. The
House has been having a session
both in the morning and after
noon and committees have been
meeting at night. There is lots
to be done. | will explain why
it takes so long to get through.
There are so many bills sent in
to be passed on that it requires
a great deal Of time to go over
them and select those that should
become laws. A sample of these
bills appears each day in the re-
port of the legislature which ev-
eryone who reads the dailies see.
For instance, a bill was intro
duced to authorize the supervis-
ors of Prentiss county to pay A.
r. Ratliff, the principal of the
Bonneville colored school, the
sum Of 81. SO back salary; another
to authorize the board of super
visors of one Of the South Mis-
sissippi counties to pay a citizen
of the county SITS for a horse
that got frightened at a covered
wagon on the public road and
ran away and killed himself.
Many hundreds of such bills
come up for consideration, and 1t

| have been wanting an oppor-
tunity to visit some of the elee-
mosynary institutions of the state
that | might write you a letter
about them. The state has the
Insane Hospital, the Institute
for the Blind. the Deaf and Dumb
Institute and the State Charity
Hospital, all located here.
The pupils of the Blind Insti-
tute on Friday night invited the
members of the Legislature to
an entertainment which they
gave in their little chapel. The
occasion was one that would
arouse the sympathy of the cold
est and much interest was mani
tested on the part of the visitors.
You know that the blind has been
a class that we have been dis
posed to shove aside so that we
would not stumble over them in
our daily affairs. but to see these
bright, helpless children, with
Gods sunlight shut out from
them, struggling to get on an
even footing with their fellows,
handicapped by an infirmity that
can never be removed, should
move anyone to pity and arouse
a desire to do something to re-.
lieve them in the unequal fight
they must make to live. The
state is doing something, / might
say a great deal, but not what it
should by long odds, for these
unfortunates. Under the splen-
did management of the worthy
superintendent, DR.. Curry, the
institution is doing a noble work,
but the opportunities should be
widened and all the blind of the
state brought in and made to feel
that the state is ready to aid
them. There should be a COM
pulsory system of education for
both the blind and the deaf and
dumb by all means, and the peo-
pie at large should be educated
up to the point of seeing that all
these young people are sent to
these institutions. Many parents
refuse to send them because they
do not want to give them up, but
| can assure all such that they
will be treated right in both in
stitutions. The institutions are
schools, with methods intended
for those who cannot receive an
education in the regular state
schools.
At the Blind Institute the in
mates are taught to work with
their hands in numerous ways.
They make mats, mops, brooms,
mattresses, baskets, crochet,
typewrite, and a number of other
things are done we'll. Their
handiwork is of the first class.
The mattresses, brooms, rugs,
show that the makers are skilled
workers.
On exhibit, there were two
little dresses made by one of the
girls which would have done
credit to many girls more fortu-
nate. She cut them out, sewed
and trimmed them without as
sistance from anybody. One
dress was prettier than the other
and she did not want to put the
less attractive one on exhibition
because she realized the differ
ence.
DR.. Curry has put in his bill of
needs a request for a hall in
which the children can work. and
above the hall he wants a chapel
to take the place of the little
dingy room which is now used
by the children for their gather
ings and public exhibitions. |
