SUMMER NORMAL At
MERIDIAN

Lauderdale and Kemper will be
held in Meridian this summer
Speaking Of the normal, the
Meridian Dispatch says;
Meridian and east Mississippi
are to be congratulated upon
securing a union of the Newton
County Normal with the East
Mississippi Normal to be held
at Meridian College beginning
June IS, lasting six weeks.
The management was fortu-
nate in selecting as director,
Prof. A. S. McClendon. superin-
tendent of the city schools of
Newton Prof McOlendon is an
experienced normal director,
having successfully directed the
normal ut iSewton for several
years. Hs is ~ strong man and
fine director of summer norma
ais.
An able faculty has been Sc
lected for this enlarged normal
which will attract large numbers
of teachers, not only from conn
ties Of east Mississippi, but from
all over the state and other sal es
as well, Many former students
OF Meridian College will prefer
to attend this normal even tho
they live in distant counties and
outside the state. Among the
faculty are three strong teachers
from Lauderdale, DR.. d. Q. Hull
Prof. T. NJ. Sykes and Prof.
w. Z. Still Two teachers OF
Meridian College faculty have
been engaged, Mrs. Mary Oliver
domestic science, Prof, Clyde Y
Mckee agriculture. Other
teachers of note are Prof. w. 5.
Huddleston, Prof. I. A Gresh-
am and Mrs. q. M. Beavers,
Special Course provided.
A very strong primary teacher
will he added. one that will
draw those who want to make a
speciality of primary work. Sew
erai teachers Of the Meridian
College Conservatory will re-
main 10 teach any who want to
take up special branches for high
school aud college credits, and
for music, art, expression and
commercial course. Among the
music faculty who will remain
will be the director Miss Nina j.
Ridgell, Prof. j. E. w. Lord and
Miss Ethel Beeson, who will
teach art as well as music.
Mrs. Anna S. Harmon will
have charge of the commercial
department.. 1t is predicted
that several hundred teachers
will be enrolled in the East Miss
issippi Normal this summer.
This viii doubtless be one of the
strongest in the state. Meridian
being a railroad center and the
largest town in the state, will be
an attractive place for teachers
to attend a normal. DR.. Beeson
has kindly rendered the use Of
the college buildings and grounds
for the normal tree of cost. The
sixty acre campus, lovely shade
trees, brick buildings located out
of town will make it one of the
coolest places in the state for a
summer normal. The beautiful
park nearby, with the usual
band concerts and free moving
pictures make additional attrac.
tions,
Will have Athletics.
Special attention viii be given
TO athletics and out door sports
A baske; ball team will be organ
lied and other out-of door games
inaugurated to make it attract

quired Of teachers and special
courses in these TWO and the
other three that will be required

JUST A SUGGESTION

The State Council OF Defense tavors
The Intelligencer. among many other
courtesies for which 1t Is duly ap-
preciative, with q copy Of poem en-
titled Patriot or Traitor" a topic
that ought to provoke any modern
Homer to smite his bloomin Tyre
and sing to his hearts content, II not
to others discomfort. 1t is written
in blank verse-yery blank. How
ever, it is not fair to be too particu-
lar about the inspirations OF the Muse
these days. for what is patriotic is
often passed for poetry without
wink OF criticism, as it should be.
because the loyal intention is AIDE
quate license for the defective feet
and measure Of the lines.
But listen! The beginning emo
tons of the poem are quite pertinent
to the political state Of mind that
prevails in the executive office at
Charleston and the White House at
Washington. The phrase referred 70
runs:
The war Is on-nost righteous IS our
cause:
Let partisan dosirc b. dead the while.
Without meaning to BIZ invldious.
we suggest that the, State Council OF
Defense send copy OF Patriot or
Traitor" with the above lines I'M
derscored-not TOO heavily. but meSe-
~ as an indicative. mark--to the "un-
partisan" Governor OF West Virginia.
And if the Council is not too fear
some 1t might also post another copy
to the President Of the United States,
the justly renowned professor of nom
partisantsm. We know both Of these
gentlemen will highly appreciate the
appropriateness Of these striking
lines.

APING A GERMAN POLICY

IT. was q very dangerous experiment
TO have conferred on such a man as
Postmaster General Burleson extra
Official powers IN dealing with the
LOYALTY, or disloyalty Of the press OF
the country. It IS announced that he
NAV or may not make public the
names of the newspapers he has sup
pressed It is the right Of the peo-
nile to know VINO has been sllencec
and why. II there arc seditious news
uapars in the country, every loyal
citizen OF the United States wants
the sedition effectively silenced. II
there are any traitors in the United
States. every loyal citizen wants
them apprehended and properly pun
fshed. But 70 true lover OF liberty
wants the punishment Of traitors or
the suppression OF seditious journals
conducted behind closed doors. Pitt
less publicity will do much to dis
courage disloyalty.
The danger TO the public lies in the
fact that if the Postmaster General
can secretly suppress 4 newspaper
that Is actually seditious tn IT'S utter
ances, he can also secretly suppress
uapers not actually seditiouA though
deemed so by the judgment Of par
t1san politician. 'Spurlos yersenkt, "
or "sink without trace" is an express
sion made odlons by its application
to the German policy in sinking ships.

Edsxroa Il 1oathing It is possible for
The Wheeling intelligencer. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1903-1961, 1917-10-30

JUS to feel. It is policy out OF place
in any civilized nation, whether ap-
piled to men or to the business upon
which men depend for livelihood
Quite likely the facts justify sup
preston Of the papers against which
Mr.. Burleson has proceeded. As to
that he Is not now nor ever Will be
the proper exclusive judge. The tnal
appeal for judgment Is to public opin-
ion, and neither the Postmaster Cen
eral nor the President himself has
right to deprive the public Of the OPP
portunity to form an opinion. If Mr..
Burleson is right he will have the
approval of public opinion; if he is
wrong he will have its disappsoval.
But he must not maintain a policy
Of "spurlos versenkt."
