Hon. Ben. Humphreys addressed the students of the University
by invitation of Chancellor Powers on the morning of November 10.
Mr.. Humphreys is an alumnus Of the University and it is but
natural that he should call to mind former students, and some coucg
mates of his. who had gone out from that institution and carved fer
themselves an envlahle name upon the pages Of history.
First among the great mGu gone out from the University, Mr..
Humphreys named Bishop Charles & Galloway, of whom he SAID,
among other things, surely out Of all the names to which we point
with pride none has shed greater Iustor upon this University than
the great bishop Mr.. Humphreys then referred to Judge Whit
field, 10 Senator Joe Bailey of Texas, Of whom he said, q love him
beyond all public men have ever been associated with - to Shed
Hill, WtherSp0on, Gambler and others. But inasmuch az the present
governor Of Mississippi is a graduate of The University, it would APP
pear that Mr. Humphreys was somewhat in the frame of mind of
the fellow at the poker table who caught one of the crowd, a one
eye man, cheating and stated, eff there is any more cheating III
shoot the other eye out, when he used these words in reference to
some graduates OF the University who by chance hold office:
Il would not haze you understand that think that the fact that
these men have been elected to high office entities them to especial

sponsibilty in the state whose aspirations never scared above the
fleshpots, but do not care to associate their names with those I have
mentioned.

Tennessee contract was made. WHY was not the the Misissippi
textbook commission able to get better prices for the children of this
STATE? why should the children of Mississippi have to pay more than
double what the Tennessee children pay, just across the lines
1t may De all right, and all straight, but We would like to know
the reason why, and We believe the parents in Mississippi who have
TO pay these enormous prices would like to be shown how it happened
that the mississippi Textbook Commission failed to get prices that
we're at least within speaking distance, of the prices the Tennessee
Commission got Was the Mississippi Textbook Commission blind or

that for the past fiveyear period parents with IA pupil in the sixth

THE PUBLIC CAUGHT IT IN THE NECK ON
SCHOOL BOOKS.

Some time recently we saw a statement from the State Superin-
in our common schools for the next five years. This was in the ma
tue of IA catccfsm and was published for the benefit of the public
generally.
We re always interested i'll whatever benefits the public, sc We
read this "Catcchism' carefully. When we finished, We had an
. uneasy feeling in the pit of our stomach and our funny bon"
acted queer. We did not understand it at the time; but it seemed
as if we were being warned of the approach of something Ito BE-
dreaded.
The schools have opened and it all comes back to us. We sec
things clearly and we realize now what our funny bone was trying to
say. We also understand how this 'catechism' was expected to
"6enetu the public generality We should have seen at once that.
out OF the kindness of his great heart, Professor Bond waS gently ad-
vlsng the public generally to renew its acquaintance with the
bankers Of the state, and to begin negotiations for a loan before said
bankers get so much money tied up in financing the crops that
schools could not open. Pupils must have books and books cost money.
The State Text Book Commission must bear the responsibility for
the books adopted and for the excessive prices to be paid. Parents
have already began to realize what W are up against in this matter
of books. We remember the "catchiSm' said there were a lot of
changes necessary; for example, the hisoris and Biographies were
ont OF date o n account of the war, and that some other books were

books. We wished then that johnny could use some of the junk
Mary studied last year. He inherited from her a perfectly good set
OF books for the sixth grade, and only two Of them r any good.

we will take the books listed for that grade. We take this from the
