Inc 11IJn Nlnuat COlililSliCS-
ment exercises OF the Piney Wood
Country Life School We're held
lasl week before one Of the great
est crowds that ever attended
this interesting event.
Prof. Laurence Jones, principal,
assisted by his wife and practic-
k4ly ever istudent enrolled, had
worked necessarily for many
weeks to make this commence
ment the greatest IL the history
OF the institution.
Famous white orators and eduea-
tors from both the nortn and
south had been invited and were
"a attendance. Prof. Jones has
made it a point to secure the
best speakers possible, as it evil

IN other years.
Last year Frederick Sullens,
editor of the Jackson Daily News,

An interesting feature of this
years exercises was the display
of articles which had been made
entirely in the workshops OF the
school. One student, t. r. Polk,
had made complete wagon and
had the same exhibited on the
stage. Another student Monroe
McLaurin, demonstrated how he
had made every brick which en-
tered into the great main hall OF
the restitution, and this with a
mould which was capable of turn
ING cut only five brick at time.
Ideal housekeeping, domestic
science, needle work and practl-
cal hous eEaeping were also de-
monstrated before the large crowd.
A .oticeable feature about the
-p;ney Woc,Gs school is the dis
cialine which Prof. Jones has IN
stilled into the students. Every
thing connected with the COM
me, cement exercises moved along
with clock-like precision. and the
entire affair was a credit to the
