county have the same curriculum
not only different authors but diff.
ferent subjects.
No two high schools IN Rankin
county. perhaps, have the same
standards fer promotion and grad
uation. Each school has a curric.
ulum and standards all their own
This lack Of uniformity has
many disadvantages. Among these
disadvantages the following alone
justify the effort we are making
to remedy same: If a student
moves from one community to an.
other during the school term he is
forced to buy new books for the
majority Of his subjects, as the
books he had are not taught N the
school of the community into
which he moves, and oftentmes he
is classed lower than in the COM
munity from which he moved. be-
cause of the difference in the
standard set by the two schools,
and thus you discourage the pupil
and cause him to lose respect for
both schools and teachers, n par
ticular, and the entire educational
GUCfnrr1
In an effort to remedy these
conditions and in compliance with
the request of the teachers pres
ent at the asst teachers associa-
ton, we, the committee, elected
for that purpose at the last teach
ers' meeting, met with Mr.. IVY.
State Supt. of Secondary Schools,
at jackson, and agreed upon a
proposed uniform course of study
for the high schools of Rankin
county.
In working out this course of
study we tried to keep ever in
mind the subjects which would
meet the needs of the majority of
the boys and girls of Rankin coun-
ty and we have the assurance also
that this course of study will meet
the requirements of the accredit-
ing committee.
The discussion and adoption of
this course of study is the pur-
pose of the next teachers meeting
to be held at Florence, Friday,
January %, 1921, and every teach
er and others interested in the

condition: that all bedding was
clean and sanitary; that the in

their person; that there is enough
meat, molasses, lard to do until
there can be another crop made; !;
that the inmates are properly
looked after and are satisfied with
their surroundings and their keep

That we have visited the County
jail, in body, and that we found
it to be sanitary and that the in
mates therein comfortable and
properly taken care Of.
That we have examined the
books of the several County Off
GERS; that they were neatly kept
and SO far as we could tellfrom
brief examination; that all funds
collected by them are properly ac-
counted for to the County Treas
urer.
Now that we have disposed of
all cases brought before us, we ask
that we be discharged.

TEACHERS MEETING.
Important Gathering at Florence
Tomorrow.

The Rankin County Teachers
Association will meet at Florence
tomorrow, and many subjects of
Importance will come up for con-
|fsideration.
President Broom and County
Superintendent Barksdale have is
sued the following letter to the
teachers of the county:
ut cost billions Of dollars and
millions Of lives to make the
world safe for democracy" and it
will cost many times that amount
of money, in taxes, and lives given
| in service to make Democracy
safe for the world" because de-
mocracy is safe for the world only
where the teachers work has been
well done.
The essential purpose Of every
school lis realized in the results it
produces in the lives Of its pupils.
Children are not able to measure
thoroughly the teachers success,
nor are teachers and officers al
ways sure Of the effects of their
work. But late or soon society
must and does evaluate the work
Of our schools. Measured by the
ever increasing expenditure allow
ed for education, it's Judgment has
evidently been that they Justify
their truse. Surely no profession
|al teacher should be found oppos-
ing the idea Of more intelligent
and accurate means Of securing
results in education.

CHEER UP, FOLKS.
Here's a Glorious Opportunity to
Get Rich Right Quick.

A friend who has been fighting
the boil weevil for the past few
years, writes us that he has abou
given up the idea Of growing any
more cotton, and has evolved :
scheme whereby all Of us may be
come rich In little while with
out work or trouble. His pros
pectus reads as follows:
eve are going to start a
cat ranch with 100000 cats.
Each cat will average IL kit
tens a year. The cat skins
will sell for 80 cents each. !
One hundred men can skin
5000 cats day. We figure
daily net profit of over $1O,-
900.
Now What Shall we Feed the Catsi
We Will start a rat ranch
next door with 100000 rats.
The rats will breed twelve
times faster than the cats.
So, we'll have four rats to feed
each day to each cat. Now
what shall we feed the rats?
We will feed the rats the car
casses of the cats after they
have been skinned.
Now Get This.
We feed the rats to the cats,
and the cats to the rats, and
get the cat skins for nothing.
Shares are selling for 5 cents
each, but the price will go up
soon. Invest while opportu-
nifty knocks at your door"
If you have as much as a nicke
left after paying your taxes you
might buy one share of this stock

NEWS NOTES FROM
 AMERICAN LEGION

No mystery surrounds the shooting in Nashville, Tenn, last week of Carl Peters, world war veteran. He refus- ed to take drink. Carrying out his American Legion injunction of flaw and order", Peters when accosted on the street late at night by a hos pit able bootlegger, politely declined a l proffered draught of white whiskey. The h. b. insisted and when Peters still refused, the former drew a pis- .tol and fired. The ex-soldier went to hospital with bullet in his leg and the moonshine merchant went to jail.
 
 Major General John A. Lejeune, commandant of the United States Marine Corps, will go to Kansas City this fall to visit the man who safely chauffeured him through France while he was commanding the famous Second Division, A. E. F., according to word received from him last week by the American Legion convention committee. Incidentally General Le- jeune also will attend the Legion's na- tional convention there. He will be driven through the quieter streets of the convention city by his erstwhile battle chauffeur, Victor H. Lenge, Kansas City.
 The governors of Missouri and Kan sas and the mayors of Kansas City, Kas. and Mo-, joined in a formal eX pression of the honor they feel at the coming visit of Marshal Foch to those states and cities to attend the nation al convention of the American Legion this fall. A memorial to this effect was presented the French generaliis- simo by Charles w. Bartlett, Kansas City, at the recent dedication of the Flirey monument in France.
 Representation in the American commission to the international dis armament Congress November II by eat least one soldier of the world war was asked by President Harding last week by the American Legion's na- Sional legislative committee at Wash Ac. "There is no group in the
