4 ASUPER-CONSOuDATED
SCHOOL FOR PH|LAEELpHlA
the OPPORTUNITY FOR BETTER SCHOOL 40 :
vANIAGEs OPEN

The consolidation OF schools In
the environs OF Philadelphia into an
enlarged school located at Philadel-
phia with transportation wagons or
buses operating on the pixies that
extend from the town has been dis
cussed for several years. In the
minds of many the time 10 ripe to
carry the plan into execution.
Education Ia claiming the interest
and attention OF people in Mississippi
today more than perhaps at any
time. More emphasis Ia being placed
on rural education and people are
realizing that the biggest problem
we have Ia the problem Of the rural
school. We are fortunate, however,
to have found a solution to this
problem.
The Consolidated school has proved
to be the cheapest and most efficient
and satisfactory school that can be
had for the rural sections. Not only
the rural districts, but many towns
are finding 1t to be the best and
cheapest school for them.
The spirit for consolidation is run
ming high In Neshoba county, and It
is predicted that 1t will be only few
years before all the schools will be
consolidated. In view OF the fact
that the schools surrounding Phila-
delphia will likely consolidate and
are consolidating, there has been
talk of a consolidated school at Phil-
adelPhia with the adjoining rural
Rchoals. In the minds Of many, this
proposition, II carried out, would be
the biggest thing Philadelphia ever
did. Philadelphia covers q small
territory, and it is hard for the town
to do all that should be done educa-
tionally without the cooperation of
more territory. With the co-opera-
tion of the adjoining schools there
could be II consolidated school Great
ed at Philadelphia, and additional
buildings and equipment secured
with no greater tax levy than Phila.
delphia is now paying for the sch DOL
1t has. The school in town is now
In need OF more room and equipment,
and II the schools adjoining the town
should consolidate, as they are be-
ginning to do, buildings and equip
ment would have to be secured.
Therefore, it would be cheaper for
the adjoining schools to cooperate
with Philadelphia and have the ad
vantages of the best school that
could be had at about tweaty-fiv
per cent less than 1t would cost them
to consolidate with other rural
schools OF the county. This is an
opportunity for Philadelphia and
the surrounding schools to estab.
lish one of the biggest and best
schools In the State.
BY consolidating the school could
put on the Smith Hughes work, Au-
tomobile Mechanics. Home Science,
Book Keeping, and other CONNER.
cial and scientific branches The
Smith Hughes. work would give the
schoolthe benefit OF Federal aid, and
greater help from the State.
In the beginning OF this great
movement for consolidation In Me-
shoba county, 1t seems very fitting
that Philadelphia should fall In line
and establish not only the biggest
consolidated school In Neshoba
County, but the biggest and best In
Mississippi. Talk 1t up-work 1t up!

RUSSIA CONTRIBUTES
ANOTHER SENSATION.

GENOA, April 26.-(By Associat-
ed Press. Soviet Russia contribu-
uted another sensation to the eco
nemic conference Tuesday by send
ing a note to the Polish delegation
demonstrating against Poland's ac-
tion in joining with the Allied pow
ers in protest against a seperate
treaty between Russia and Germany.
Russia claimed that the peace treaty
between herself and Poland covers
all relations between the two coun-
tries, so that Poland, like Germany,
should not participate in the discus
sion of Russian affairs, even inti-
mating that Poland, by her present
action in the conference, has abro-
gated the treaty signed at Riga on
March 18, 1921.
Russia has strong Red army
encamped near the Polish border, and
for that reason, the Russian remon-
strances are regarded by some of the
delegates as equivalent almost to a
threat against Poland
The experts on the Russian ques-
ton, sitting without the Soviet dele
gates, compared notes on the new
proposals presented by the Russian
delegates at yesterdays session, and
decided to forward their report tc
their respective governments. 1t is
expected that when the answers are
received from the various capitoll
the powers will submit counter prop.
ositions to the Soviet couched in firm
language, in an endeavor to reach
a working basis for an accord.
eve cannot stay here forever,

How Memorial Day Way Born
At Columbus, Ga, April26, 1866

TT is to a little group of Southern
women that America owes the
custom of setting one day apart every
spring for honoring the dead. I'm
der different dates American every
where follow the practice.
On April 26, 1866, number Of
women in Columbus, Ga, went to
Linwood cemetery where they deco
rated the graves of the soldiers. At
the home Of Mrs. John Tyler they
organized memorial society and
pledged themselves to observe the
ceremony every year on the same
date-the anniversary of General
Joseph T. Johnston's Surrender.
Others Spring Up.
Other local memorial societies
sprang up through the South. In
many places the Southern women
impartially decorated the graves of
the unknown Federal troops. News
of this tribute spread through the
North, breathing new life into the
national love and anity which the
war had nearly killed.
General John A. Logan, COM
mander-in-chief of the Grand Army
of the Republic, issued a general or
der on May 5, 1868, from his office
in Washington, designating May 80
''for the purpose of strewing flowers
or otherwise decorating the graves
of comrades who died in defense OF
their country Thus the North
Joined the South in the annual ex.
preston Of reverence and gratitude

Rian continued to fall here early to-

The flood is the most severe in the
