SCHOOL NEWS.

The school sympathizes with
Miss Hubbard in the loss of her
father. She returned to us Sun
day and found her classes anx-
iously awaiting her arrival.
A raccoon has recently been
added to the zoo..
Since spring days have opened
up pupils have been enjoying
many nice bicycles rides.
The nice warm weather calls
the fishermen out to the creeks.
Mr.. H. E. Cunningham went one
afternoon, set his hooks, expect
ing to have perch for breakfast,
but on going to the water the
next morning he discovered that
the high water had washed his
hooks out of Rankin county.
Mr.. Chester Mcintyre started
with six dozen eggs to the store
one rainy morning. Just as .he
started down the little knoll his
foot slipped, and his basket was
upset. When he recovered his e.
quilibrium he had a stream Of
white and yellow flowing from the
basket.
We are glad to say that some
garden seed have been planted
this week.
On st. Patrick's day, as the
Seniors took their places at the
supper table they found a little
square card on each of their
plates. On turning it over they
were surprised to read this quaint
little message:
The time called for on this card,
No matter if tits raining hard,
Just seize your coat and 'umbrell,
And come to the English room for
spell.
Do not dress up a bit,
Come as you are, twill make a hit.
From the Juniors.
Of course we couldn't resist
the spell and on Saturday even
ing at 7!30 we were ushered into
what was supposed to be Miss
Eaton's class room. But upon en-
tering-lo! and behold it had been
transformed into veritable bow
er. Branches of evergreen gener-
ously hung about the walls and
gracefully festooned overhead,
made us forget our every trouble,
Shamrocks, flags, tri-colors and
other Irish emblems artistically
decorated the most conspicuous
greenparts; and while among it all
green writhing snakes with little
glittering eyes twisted and turned,
giving the scene a most Jpictur-
esque and Irish air. After a va
riety of entertaining games, elab-
crate and daintily prepared re-
fresments were served. The
evening was unanimously declar-
ed a glorious one, and the guests

Whereas, God in His all-wise
power, has seen fit to take from

OF Macon, Noxubee county, Miss
issippi, and,
Whereas, Miss Irene Hubbard,
his only daughter, is the popular

Be it resolved by the Faculty
and Student Body that we take
this means of expressing heart
felt sympathy for her in her be-

HOME SCIENCE.

The second year girls are to
have lessons and practical expe-
rience in bread making this week.
The bad weather has kept US
from doing amy gardening so far.
The Senior girls have just had
a course in Home Nursing. This
course includes several different
heads. They are as follows: Cd
Sanitation and care Of bed room;
CD Bedside care of patients; 60
Care of the skin Of the patients.
Some things that are very i'm
portant to the sanitation of the
bed room Of the patient are plenty
Of sunshine and fresh air. Prop
er ventilation, therefore, is very
necessary. Some signs of improp-
er ventilation are odor, heaviness
Of chest and drowsiness. A cold
room is not necessarily we'll ven-
tilated. Constant ventilation is
always possible by making artifi-
cial outlets and inlets. The
sweeping should be done without
dust. This can be done by using
cloth over the broom, or by using
sawdust with hot water and one
cup Of oil. In sweeping the room
start from the side and sweep to-
ward the center. All dusting
should be done with a damp cloth.
Burn all refuse.
Two things very important in
the bedside care of the patient
are clean bed and the cleansing
bath. A patient is never too sick
to be clean. The bath should be a
.estful treatment. Avoid expos

EDITORIAL.

The position of the Agricultur-
al High School of our state is
more important than the casual
observer is Wont to think. It is
the connecting link between the
rural school and college. 1t pre-
pares the student graduate of the
rural grade school for the college
course. A student finishing the
Agricultural High School is per-
mitted to enter college without an
examination. The course in the
Agricultural High School includes
the regular High School system
plus the Agricultural and Scien-
tific training. The Agricultural
High School offers a decidedly bet
ter opportunity to students living
in rural districts in more ways
than one. In the first place, as
has been said, it includes the
Home Science and Agricultural
Departments as we'll as the regu-
lar High School subjects. In the
second place, the Agricultural
High School is worked on an act
ual cost basis. In this way the
rural student who must board a
way from home has the advantage
of paying exact costs. Opportu-
nifty is also given the. student for
practicing' the arts Of Home Sci
ence and Agriculture. This is
made possible by the dormitories
which make home for the stu
dent and furnish them actual
practical work. -,

common mistake is, II taken" !"
One has only to sit for a short
while in the Algebra class to
hear some pupil begin the expla-
nation Of his problem by saying,
II taken, not only the school
boys and girls make this mistake
but men and women almost ev-
erywhere you go, are saying the
same things.
Another mistake, not quite so
common but fully as bad, is the
wrong use of "are." One person
remarks, ut is such a warm day."
and the answer comes, 'It certain
ly are" 1t seems that every one
ought to. know to use "is'' here
rather than "are," even if he has
never studied in grammar all Of
the different uses Of the verb
"be." And then occasionally we
hear people using "hope" for
helped" This is not at all cor
rect and should not be used so.
These are only a few Of the most
common mistakes, but if every
one would refrain from the use
of even these great step would
have been taken toward the i'm
provement of our language.

TO OUR ALUMNI

Now that the Rankin County
Agricultural High School has been
in operation for six years, we are
getting a foot-hold and coming to
the front. This session will see the
Largest class in the history of the
school graduate. We have the
largest enrolment in our history.
There are fifty-two of these
schools in operation in the state
and we are fortunate in being
one of fourteen to operate under
the Smith-Hughes Vocational
Law. This cooperation Of the
United States Government is of
no little value to us. Again, we
are now in full standing with the
colleges and University in this
state. Our work is recognized all
VNCA VIC oInIC 1uO OuI StuOclCS
are allowed entrance in the col
leges without examination.
We have separate dormitories
for the boys and girls which fact
is conclusive evidence that our
general dicipline and work has
been a success for the year. Our
equipment in Home Science De-
artment, Agricultural and Farm
Mechanics Departments, and our
reference libraries for the differ
ent courses are very complete
and We rank fifth in the state in
standard equipment. Of this fact,
we are proud.
There are many improvements
yet to be made and some of them
are already under way. When the
time comes for the opening of an
other session, we expect to be con-
nected with other parts of the
county by telephone, we expect to
have greatly improved highways
over which to travel in our efforts
tosdo extension and service work,
and we expect to be equipped with

a large Delco Light Plant with
sufficient power to supply all our
needs.
We can do nothing in our work
without the whole-souled co-ope-
ration and backing of our former
students and graduates of past
years. We count you as our
strongest friends and have every
reason to believe that you will
help us boost and make this insti-
tuition the equal of any in the
state Of Mississippi.
On Monday evening, April the
twenty sixth at five thirty we
plan to have banquet for all
graduates of the school. We have
a large dining room and can seat
one hundred people comfortably.
If you are a graduate Of the
school and are interested in the
further development of our plans
for Greater Rankin Agricul-
tural School" please drop me a
postal card and state that we may
place a chair at the table for you.
The cost of the banquet will be
covered by selling plates for $1.OO
each and l am sure that you are
willing to spend this amount for
an evening of pleasure with the
other members of your class and
the members of all classes since
1915. We want to have talks from
old students about old times and
will discuss the future plans of
the school. In other words you
are invited to counsel with us on
future development of the system
as begun.
Can l have some member of
each class since 1915 to send me
a complete list of the member
ship? l want to get in touch with
every graduate and must know
how many guests to prepare to en-
tertain. This banquet will be
during the Commencement exer-
cises and will be followed the
same night by Senior Class play
at eight-thirty.
A full program of our Com
mencement Exercises will be pub
lished in a short time.
Yours most cordially,

AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT

AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT
Last week a mere idea was given
Of the necessity of a balanced ra-
tion. This week will be on a more
thorough explanation on balanced
rations.
By balanced ration we mean a
combination Of feeds furnishing
the several nutriments in such
proportion and amount as will
properly and without excess of
any nutriment, nourish givn an
imal for "a hours. The term nu-
triment is applied to any food
constituents of the same general
composition that may aid in the
support of animal life.
A maintainence ration is one
that furnishes enough but no
more of each and all of the sew
eral nutriments that is required
to maintain a given resting ami
mai so That 1t Will neither gain
nor lose weight.
The time required for the Sen
ior class in shop mechanics was
used for practical and useful ar
ticles for farm and farm home.
Mr.. Berly, with his. first year
class, has been busy the fair days
in preparation of~the land for
spring planting.
The Second Year Class has been
studying practical entomology, or
those insects injurious to cultiva-
ted crops, principally corn.
The agricultural department
was agreeably surprised the other
day upon discovering litter of
Durocs, Is in number, at the
