AGRICULTURAL HIGH
SCHOOL NOTES.

This weeks issue of the News
finds us busy closing out the first
month of the session 1920.
Every one is working like the Con-
lie spoken of in Proverbs. We are
mailing out September report
cards and ask that patrons exam
inc the grades carefully. If these
grades are not up to your expect
atoms, help us to better them next
month, by urging the boys and
girls to study more, when you
write your next letter. We grade
each recitation made by the stu
dent and at the close of the month
an average grade is made by add
ing up the daily marks and divid-
ing by the number of Rotations
made in the subject during the
month.
We are proud of the record
made by the boarding department
during the first month. Board
was furnished each student for
$1O.35. This is remarkable when
consideration is given the prices
of groceries and the kind of fare
given the students. Our students
are all we'll pleased and are
spending very little in the stores
nearby for the "nick-nacks".
You can hardly feed your child at
home for this price. Why not
send the boys and girls to us
where they can live cheaper than
at home and get a good year of
high school work at the same time.
New students are coming in ev-
cry week. Seven were enrolled
this week. We have application
for four more next week. Others
will come. The wisest step a boy
or girl can take now, in this day of
opportunity, is to enter good
school.
We have on file in the Office, a
letter from DR.. j. C. FAINT, Univer-
sity, Mississippi, chairman of the
High School Accrediting Commit
tee Of the colleges, stating that our
work this year will be acceptable
to every college in the state. Our
diploma will give entrance into
any college in the state. We are
proud of this standing and shall
make every effort to maintain a
high standard of scholarship.
The school farm has had its
stock holdings increased this
month by the arrival Of ten
Duroc-Jersey pigs subject
to registration and three Jersey
calves. We will be in position in
few weeks to supply the pref
tiest Duroc pigs in. Rankin county
to the Club Boys.
