gathered from the pupils whom she
instructs that she is good teacher
and is doing good work.
The writer being a patron of the
Central school of Bay st. Louis
feels that he should call the atten-
ton of our patrons to the fact that
they should visit the Central school,
going through it's various depart
ments, and seeing for themselves,
just what is being done.
Our little city spends enough
money on this school to make it one
of the best schools in the county. and
yet the writer finds that 1t doesn't
even compare with Logtown, Kiln,
Dedeaux and Sellers.
The above may be pain talk, but
we feel tina. we should know the
worst and provide against it.
Prof Keller, Superintendent of
Education of Hancock county, is an
ardent and enthusiastic worker, who
is doing all he can to advance the in
terest of education in this county.

CONSOLIDATION PAYS.
(Bv 13 Year Old School Girl

Kiln Consolidated was organized
in 1916 by bringing together small
number of schools into one district
of So square miles.
This was one of the greatest i'm
provements our community ever
made. 1t gave us a better school
house, better equipment, better
teachers and a higher course of
study, making it possible for the stu
dents from this community to OBJ
tain a high school education without
leaving home.
At first the small schools were lit
tie one-room buildings, poorly
equipped and taught by teachers
who had only finished the eighth
grade. And in many instances the
teacher was compelled to teach from
the first grade thru the one she had
finished. From such We can readily
see how impossible it was for the
boys and girls to get the best of
training. If they should finish the
school they were by no means ready
for life but they had to stop or go
away to school, which cost money.
We should be very proud of the fact
that its not that way now, with the
modern equipment and building we
have. uor teachers all holding college
diplomas or certificates, our course
of study going through eleven
grades and our school running eight
or nine months makes the new
school beyond comparison with the
old.
We consider our school one of the
best of it's kind in the state and if
we would only stop for moment
and see the progress we have made
in the last five years no man would
regret one cent he has paid to build
and maintain it.
It might be remembered that this
year We have six students from this
school in the leading colleges of the
state and all making good. even on
honor roll. Furthermore, there has
not been a county field day meet nor
county fair that we have not been
present and showed what we were
doing and on last year sent our ex-
hibit to the state fair and there won
prizes.

Defeats Guifpert's Husky Five IN
Basketball, by 34-6 Score Jan.
28, on Local Field.

Editor Sea Coast Echo:
On Friday, January 2sth, Guifport
High school was defeated by Bay
High the final score being 34-6.
Both teams were pretty weil
matched. Gulfport for weight and
size and the Bay" for CELEBRITY; but
with the good work of K FIrsch1ng,
our jumping center, the ball was
easily topped into Jackson's hands,
and with little password succeeded
in getting the ball to Won Ehren. who
stood by our goal watching his play.
He was to quick for his guard and
no more than five seconds after the
whistle blew for the toss up, Bay
High had two points.
This kept up and Gufport ran
iround the court looking for our
boys who easily lodged in and out
amongst them.
Firsching received heavy blow,
nearly knocking him out, but you
ean't keep a good man down. SO
gRandie" played the rest of the
game without a whimper.
Gulfport's forwards could do
nothing for B. Jackson and Sylvester
guarded them so closely the first
half ended 18 to II in our favor.
The second half seemed easy for
our boys. Gulfport's inability to
keep the ball in their possession
proved all the more successful for
our boys.
H Jackson shot goals from all an
giles of the court. Won Ehren shot
five and Firsching two.
Four fouls were called on the Bay
thus giving Gulfport an opportunity
for more points-only two were
made-however.
The final score being 34-6.

KILN NEWS.

Ihere Delng no news puDllSHeu
from Kiln for the past two weeks,
was due to the fact that we had
nothing to write, and one reason we
were busy getting lined up for our
second term examination. Feeling
that we are now reading for it in
every respect we come again to tell
of the happenings of our little town
and in our school.
We are sorry indeed to learn that
official notice has been given out
that the mill here will not resume
operation until March 1st because of
the uncertainty of lumber prices.
The men are urged to be economic
and considerate during the time
there is no employment and the COM
pay has promised to show them every
favor possible.
A very interesting safety-first
meeting was recently held in the
Palace theatre and many topics of in
terest discussed. DR.. Rouse, head
physician of the Lumberton and Kiln
plants was present and made an in
teresting and instructive talk.
Mr.. Eddie Farve is in Gulfport
under medical treatment. We trust
that his health will soon be improved
and that he will soon be back on the
job-assuming his place in the
social and business circles of our
little town.
The happenings at school are as
usual. The regular course of work
has not been broken since the Xmas
holidays but are being made harder
as We approach the second term ex-
animation.
tIwas decided last week in fac
ulty that in order to change the regu
lar routine of chapel exercises each
teacher would be given week to
condust chapel exercises in which
they are to read some interesting
book. 1t fell Mrs. Badgers lot to
read the first. she being patriotic
and very much of warrior ESQ the
High students say selected "The
Man Without Country"
The primary room has always fal
len off in enrolment sfter the holi
days. but so far it has not been the
case this year. There has beer
some ten or twelve pupils enrolled
within the last few days which has
caused Mrs. Dolby to have to ask fol
several more seats to be placed il
| her room.
We read from The Echo where Bay

ers, are very much displeased to hav,

LARGE LUMBER ORDER.

During the past week the Ingram
Day Lumber Company, situated at
Lyman, just north of Gulfport. has
received two large orders of lumber
for exporting purposes. one of which
is for 100000 feet and the other
for 100000 feet. These shipments
will be made up in two cargoes, all
of which will go through Gulfport.
Some of the lumber at present is be-
ing loaded for shipment by steam
ship to foreign ports. The 100000
feet will pass through this port dur
ing February and March.

PASS CHRISTIAN NEWS.
(From The Beacon.)

A great deal of complaint is heard
about the public not being able to
learn from the telephone office the
location of fires in town recently.
There is no blame laid on the local
employees, all of whom are most &C
comodating in all respects, but we
are told that it is rule of the COM
pany that forbids the giving of such
information If it is, We can say
that it is most aggravating one,
and the local authorities ought to
take the matter up with a view of
having same corrected. This town
is five miles long. People living In
either end are frequently in the CEN
ter when a fire alarm is sounded. 1t
is but natural that they want to
learn the location of the fire, and it
is but natural that they would ask
the telephone exchange for this in
formation, and it should be given
readily.
A report from Washington of a
few days ago was to the effect that
President Wilson will again visit the
Pass for an indefinite stay. The re-
port has not been confirmed so far
as we can learn, but we not be sur
prised to have the President with us
after the fourth of March. Presi-
dent Wilson was greatly benefited
by his stay at the Pass and he and
his physician probably know of no
other place that offer the advantages
found here for rest and recuperation.
We hope Mr.. Wilson will come. He
will find a cordial welcome. and the
prayers and wishes of the commun-
ity for complete restoration to his
former good health.
Mayor Frank Sutter was in New
Orleans on Wednesday in interest of
his hotel movement for Pass Chris
tian.. and he speaks most encourag-
ingly over recent developments in it,
which he believes will soon assume
such shape and progress as to insure
the erection of a large house at this
place in the near future.
