/ The recent rains have put the
ground in fine blowing order and oat
sowing has been renewed Plant right
on, boys The winter may be mild
and if we have a real hard freely
spell at all it will be apt to be in
February and the January planting
will stand no better show than the
December planting. Where the seed
are hand sown leave the ground
rough and the freezes will not kill as
quick as If the ground is narrowed
smooth.
Mr. Editor, am handing you a let
ter from the President of the Misss- |
sippi Normal College which will be
Of interest to most of your readers.
Kindly insert it in this column
New Salem would be glad to have
President Cook to come up and make I
us talk along the lines he has in
mind and let us know when to expect |
him we would give him rousing
audience. A meeting at the county
court house and all the schools in the
county invited to attend would be
better than just for one community. I
Then others Interested in community I
work could express their views as to
the subject in hand.

Caledonia, Miss.
My dear Louis: I always read with
Il great deal of pleasure whatever you
write, because you to go the heart
Of things and have real sympathy
for the common man.
am writing this letter, however,
to convey to you the satisfaction
feel on account of the success that
Herbert Nix is making in your COM
munity. 1t has long been my theory
that school teacher should be worth
IA great deal more to community
than he is worth merely as a nearer
of lessons. | am glad to learn that
Mr.. Nix is taking part in the COM
munity work. We trained him here
at the Normal College the different
ways in which a school teacher can
serve community.
trust the school system will con- I
tinue to develop until the school
house shall be the clearing house for ,
all the information and knowledge
there is in community. Much val {
liable knowledge that farmers discover
and develop is lost because there is
no clearing house in rural commune
lies from which this knowledge can
be disseminated.
you agree with me in this thought, ,
put your mind to work and help me
work out plan. To help you real 7
re that ! am not making an idle re-
quest, will tell you that we have
more than 1000 teachers at the Nor a
nal College every session; and, if
nave am entirely satisfactory plan for G
making the schoolhouse the clearing
louse for all the knowledge there is T
n a community. could give it t. |
more people and it would render "a
greater service than in any other way
know. n
wish you could come to see me. h
should just like to talk with you.
Why not take "A vacation and make I
nc a visit? n
With best wishes, I am, I
Cordially your friend, =
