A STATEMENT FROM PROF. J. p.
COWAN.

Editor Sea Coast Echo:
Last week there was report by
E. J. Lawrence of his visits to dlf-
ferent schools of the county. Mr..
Lawrence made some gross mistakes
or he is a very poor judge OF what
he saw. The High school Inspector
of Mississippi spent a whole day in
Bay st. Louis schools and his report
was that J. P. Cowan was the only
teacher in Bay High school that met
the requirements of high school
teacher. So why should Mr.. Law
renee be so far from the standard?
Bay st. Louis High school will be
placed upon the accredited list of
the State University and only
through the efforts of the present
principal, J. P. Cowan. This is not
as other articles of news, just getting
rid of a pain. We have ma pain, just
| love for all that wish it.
Now it appears that if the writer
should draw upon past conditions
there may be pain about some one,
but the writer has never Intentionally
done any harm to anyone in Bay st.
Louis, but has saved the city time,
money and labor.
Yours truly,
IN j. P. COWAN.

To City and County Superinten-
dents of Education and Trus-
tees of Public Schools:
"Section 1926 of Hemingway's
Code provides that the Board of
Education may designate a day
to be observed as Arbor Day,
which "shall be devoted to the
planting of trees and otherwise
improving the school grounds"
In accordance with the pro-
visions of this section of law,
the Board has designated Friday
February 18th. as Arbor Day
and hereby request that On that
day that there shall be held at
every school building in the
State public exercises of an ap-
propriate nature and that the
day be spent in the planting OF
trees, vines, shrubbery and
flowers on the school grounds
and doing other things that will
otherwise improve and beautify
the premises. The interest of
every child in school should be
enlisted in the proper obser-
vance of the day and every pu-
pill should have part on the
program somewhere. The plant
ing of shrubs and flowers on
our school grounds and in the
yards of our homes has been
very muc NEGLECTED in Missis-
sippi and it is only through the
the schools that our people can
be inspired to take advantage of
the abundant opportunities of
fered by Nature to make the
World more beautiful place in
which to live.

Stout was chairman of the exercises in the hall, and the following persons made short good speeches very appropriate for the occasion. Major Lester l.. Lambert Officer commanding Fort Seward. F. N. Odell representing tine Grand Army of the Republic, Homer o. Banta, representing the Improved Order of Red Men, and Mack Gest- uer representing the Loyal order of Moose, Sergeant C. W. Hancock was billed to represent the American Le- zion, but was unable to attend.
 The school children favored us with "The Battle Hymn of the Re- public" and the Seward Band >furn- i5hed us with excellent music. Rev. Denton offered prayer, and also pro- nounced the benediction. There was a large audience, and as soon as the services at the hall were ended, the procession was formed under the di- rection of Sergeant J. J. Geraghty, the officer of the day, and marched to the Fort Cemetery, where the reg ular military memorial services were held. The orders which had charge of the services in the hall, wish to thus publicly express their apprecia- ton and thanks to the Misses Coch- ran for the assistance they render cd.
