SCHOOL TRUSTEES MEET

In response to call made by
Superintendent Barksdale, school
trustees from all over Rankin
county gathered for the purpose
of organizing a County Trustees
Association. -.
The meeting was called to order
promptly at 10 o'clock by. Supt.
Barksdale, who introduced State
Superintendent w. F. Bond, who
was on the program to deliver an
address.
Mr.. Bond held the strict atten-
ton of his audience for an hour,
delivering one Of the best and
most practical speeches along ed
ucational lines that it has been
our pleasure to hear in many
years. He said that Mississippi
had the best schools this year IN
| it's history, and it was his desire
| to have them better each year.
This. he said, could only be done
by the cordial cooperation of the
state superintendent, the county
superintendent and the trustees.
He outlined the duties of the trus-
lees, and we feel sure that those
who heard the talk went home
with a new vision, and different
conception of the duties that they
lowe to the children of this county.
HE explained the new compulsory
school law, and the new system OF
|disbursing the state school funds,
which makes it just and equitable
to every county in the state.
Mr.. Bond was followed by Prof.
wv. N. Taylor, who made, a very
timely talk on subjects relating to
school work, and the duties OF the
school trustees.
Prof. Broom. of the Brandon
school, explained the new uni
form course of study which has
been adopted by the Rankin Goun-
ty Teachers Association, and ap-
proved by the board of supervls-
ors. The full text of this new
system will be published in sub
seuuent issue Of The News.
Prof. Chas. J. st. John, told OF
the work being done at the Agrl-
cultural High School, and the adj
vantage that would accrue from
the new uniform course OF study;
Talks by others were made, and
permanent organization was
perfected electing Hon. Edgar
Misterfeldt chairman, and Supt.
Barksdale secretary. 1t is hoped
to have a meeting of the trustees
of the county at least twice eacn
year.
