CAMPAIGN ON FOR
AGREATERL
Some Pertinent Facts Relative To
What This Great Institution Means
To The State Of Mississippi.

Inc State Legislature winch con-
venes in jackson next January will be
asked to make an appropriation suffi
cient for the needed enlargement and
general improvement of the Mississ-
ippi Industrial Institute and College
at Columbus; and Miss Ruth Dickins,
in behalf of the Leflore county girls
attending that splendid institution,
writes the editor of The Daily Com
monwealth the following pertinent
facts relative to what the I. 1. & c..
means to Mississippi and the neces
sity for the increased appropriation
which will be asked for:
1--WE, the Leflore county girls, ask
that you place before the readers of
The Daily Commonwealth what the
l. l. & C. means to Mississippi.
eve belong to the good old Mag
nolia State and are proud of it. We
realize that Mississippi has done
lot for us and has made us what we
are. But now the time has come for
''new clothes" In other words, we
are in bad need of a new Chapel, a
new dormitory, a hospital annex,
greater appropriation for teachers
salaries, a larger endowment, and
last, but not least, new name. We
have been held back long enough by
the name, Industrial Institute and
College," We are not an industrial
institute or a reform school, as the
name indicates. We are tired of ex-
planning to people outside the State
that the Mississippi Industrial In
stitute and College is the Woman1s
State College, and not reform
school, or the I. C. Railroad, as some
think. In the second place our mai
is confused with that of Mississippi
Industrial Institute" at Columbia
Mississippi, a reform school for in
corrigible people.

are brought face to face with these
facts, they will "step in line" with u:
in freeing this splendid institution o.
this name.
'sIt is needless for me to say tina
we need a new dormitory and new
chapel, for this fact was through
