Agricultural High School Opens

The Agricultural High School
opened, formally, Tuesday, Sept. S..
1916.
We were very fortunate in securing

culture of the State of Mississippi. to
address our patrons and students. His
theme was acknowledge and What Ii
Affords" Three things mentioned
were information, efficiency and char
acter. II was a splendid address and
thoroughly enjoyed
Our entire enrolment up TO late
Wednesday, Sept. 6, is about 100. We
have enrolled about "a boarders and
expect to increase this number by 100
per cent before the first term closes.
We are receiving letters daily stating
that others expect to enter soon

Lectures by the Chautauqun
Director

Three noted lecturers, one of
whom will be our Chautauuua
director. On each circuit of the
Radcliffe Chautauquas, three
towns are holding these gather
ings at the same time. The at
fractions described elsewhere
stay just one day in each town
and then pass on to the next
One Chautauqua director is as
signed to each town and remains
there for all the sessions, assist
ing the committees, managing
the programs, and delivering
two fine addresses on one of the
days. These directors are either
ordained Christian ministers. or
men who have achieved amarked
success in the service of human
ity in some special line.

ladies' Of the county, the opportunity
and privilege Of coming under the care
and direction Of Mrs. Walter Price for
the ensuing session. She will have
absolute control Of the girls dormitory
and 1t is needless to say that a cul-
tured, refined and Christian inhu-
ence will be thrown around them.
We are prepared to give work TO the
girls in the dormitory and thereby en-
able them 70 partially pay their ex-
penses in school.
Preparation is being made for a
laundry room where the girls at their
will may attend to their own work and
save the laundry bill each week.
Our Domestic Science course is
esp cial!y good. Thorough drill work
IN cooking, sewing, home decoration
and home nursing is given during the
entire nigh school course We hope to
have a practice home for this work in a
few weeks.
There is no excuse for a lack of
training among the young people Of
our county. An education awaits them
at the Agricultural High School but for
the stretching forth Of the hand. The
markets are unsettled and food stufls
can only be bought for a premium, but
the school farm will produce to some
extent and together with a utilization
of our means of supply from other
sources, we will manage to keep our
board down to $500 per month and will
even feed for less az a rule.
We solicit the support of the entire
county. You may not be a patron of
the school but your taxes increase our
support fund and for that reason if no
other you should interest yourself in
The institution.
We think that we can offer advant-
ages which cannot be secured in the
town schools.
First, your boy is taken from the
streets and he is under school autholi-
ty day and night.
Second-Bad habits are not tolerated
and we are IN position TO see TO his
conduct constantly.
Third We have a fixed study period
each night, during which time the
student has access to all information
necessary for the preparation Of the
next days lessons. This Information
is given by the teacher in that particu-
lar subject.
Fourth We place responsibility on
them. SO many boys and girls reach
maturity without a realization Of what
responsibility means. An opportunity

They were gathered in from miles
