general benefit of the whole commun-
ity, including the banker, the mer-
chant, the doctor, the lawyer, and
every other individual in the COM
r,unity. Do you understand also,
that these agents are trained experts
in many things, and that their quail
ification is ascertained before en-
p.oyed, and that they are constantly
receiving instructions on many sub
iects from the National government,
State Agricultural Colleges, and Elk
pertinent Stations, and are prepared
to give you the best obtainable advice
about many useful things. If they
, 10 not personally know just what you
may inquire about, they do know
where to refer you for information,
and will frequently seek it for you.
Many other useful and helpful things
these agents can and Will do for us.
There is one other phase of this
work l must mention especially, be-
cause | regard it the most important
of all. Do you know they have en-
rolled in the various clubs in this
country more than seven hundred
boys and girls, and will double this
in another year if the work is con-
tinued? Do you know they stimulate
|; nd encourage these boys and girls
to become self-reliant, progressive
and useful to themselves and parents,
and that they are helping them to be-
come, later on, capable men and
women; that they are imparting to
t.lem much useful knowledge, which
in the future will add to their per-
sonal worth, and to the general pros
perity of the country? And do you
know that thru these agencies the
door of opportunity has opened to
every boy and girl in this County?
Do you know that the United States
Government is bearing 100000 a
year of the expenses of this work in
this County, and that more than one
half of the balance of this expense
is most cheerfully paid by the large
taxpayers, including local and foreign
corporations; and That some of them
contribute in addition to the tax they
pay. Where is the man OF woman
after being informed, will say that
this work is of no value? Where is
the man who considering the value
of the work to our boys and girls, is
so short sighted, and so parsimonious,
to begrudge the little pittance he con-
tributes to this work? If such there
be, he is invited to give the public
his reasons.
Very respectfully

OXFORD HIGH SCHOOL
COMMENCED
is NOT PLACED ON AFFILIATED
LIST OF SCHOOLS AND
COLLEGES OF SOUTH

1t Should be the ambition and the
goal of every high school to be affil-
lated with the Southern Association
of Colleges so that graduates of our
high schools can enter any college
or university in the south without eX-
Elimination. In pursuance of this lau-
dable undertaking, the course of
study and the organization of the
Oxford High School have been laid
out with the end in view of being
placed on the approved list. Appli
cation was accordingly made this
year, but at the recent meeting of
the Southern Association at Chatta-
nooga, the Oxford High Sct1ool was
not placed on the list.
The following extract from letter
of H. M. Ivy, State Supervisor of Sec
ondary Schools, is self explanatory:
1T was the opinion of the Association
that the organization as adopted by
your school, and the competency of
the faculty, were acceptable, but
that on account of the newness of the
organization, and the fact that no
statement of the policy of the school
board was attached to the application,
that the Oxford High School could
not be approved for the year. 1t is
my personal opinion that, with the
present standards maintained, vita a
statement of the policy Of your board,
and with another application next
year, your school will not meet with
any difficulty in being approved"
The people of Oxford will not, |
am sure, do less than maintain the
present standard in our high school
which, in many important respects, is
the peer of any in the state. There
are today eighteen SCHOOLS of the
state, on the affiliated list of Southern
Colleges and more are being added
every year. Let US cooperate to
place Oxford High School on the list
along with other laeding schools of
the state.
