OOL NOTES

All but O few OF the schools
ave closed and the teachers gone
home or TO some school for sum-
mer course. [ believe we have had
very successful term of school
this session.
am glad to aote that more and
more cf the teachers are attend
ing nOrn.-ls each summer. AT
least seventy-five per cent of the
teachers of the county will be in
school this summer. either in col
lege deinQ work looking toward
degree or in the several normais
convenient. Several have sIready
gone to the Mississippi Normal
'ollege TO be there during the
sixth and seventh terms. These
teachers realize that If they are
to give value received for the
money spent ON their salaries,
that If they are to measure up to
the responsibilities placed upon
them, that if they are to be teach
ers in the true sense of the word
they must continue to make pre-
paratio1.
1t will be impossible for me to
figure my budget exactly until
late this year, as there will be
changes made In the Equalizing
Fund. / have been warned by the
State Board of Education not to
expect the same from this fund
another year. We may get more
and we may get less from TINS
fu-d. :
Let me urge upon trustees and
patrons that they consider well
applications for teaching posi-
tions. Use the references given
yu by the applicant. / prefer ref
erences TO recommendations. Even
poor teacher can sometimes get
very good recommendation. /.
feel that if our teaching force is
not stronger than last year that
it will be our fault.
Yours very truly,
HI. p. Barksdale, Co. Supt.

Wing lost $40 and the watch and
Lee lost $50. Both are here from

Pointing a pistol at them, one OF
the men In the hacking car ordered
them to throw up their hands"
One of them searched the Orientals
while the other leveled the gun.
Fearing that they wsuld report
the robbery as soon as they would
return to the city, the hackers threw
both Cinnamon out Of the car and
ordered them to walk some dis
tance ahead.
Wing told the police that the men
began to remove the shoes II ON
their feet in order to make walking
back to the city more difficult.

ABOLITION Of
EXECUTIONS IN
D. {. IS URGtO
Head of Penal institution Here
Flags Capital Punish
ment.

William II. Meyer. general super
intendent of District penal institu-
tions, in his annual report made to
the Commissioners today. decries the
continuance of the present system OF
capital punishment in force mere.
Declaring that, as a deterrent, capital
punishment is Of doubtful value, he
also informs the Commissioners that
execution by hanging Is especially
abhorrent.
"During the year one execution bv
hanging took place at the jail" the
report reads. Whatever value capi-
tai punishment may have had IL
practically destroyed by delay and
uncertainty OF the operation or the
law. It has come down from time
when II was believed that the best
way to prevent crime was to MAKE
the punishment even more horrlpic
than the crime. Under the present
condition of public sentiment II even
a dog were killed By the hanging the
public would promptly show right:
eous indignation at the wanton ana
unnecessary brutality, but when the
victim is a human being the public
winks at II.
"If executions are necessary Tor
proper protection Of society 1t would
seem that only the most humane
method should be used. and that only
until some better method OF deaiing
with this class Of criminals De
adopted"
improvements in administration OF
the District penal institutions are
shown through statistics compiled by
the superintendent. II is shown the
average daily population increased
from $40 in 1921 to 738 in 1922. This
fact Is significant when IL is shown
that a saving OF s16.671.27 was effect
ed over 1921 expenses. For the rirs'
time in years 1t was not found neces-
sary to ask for a deficiency appropr'
| alton.
The prisoners have been more con
tented also, as is proven by the DE,
crease in escapes and ATTEMPTED
escapes. During the year 1921 there
were SO escapes, out OF populatlon
~ 5313. During 1922 there were ~
escapes out Of 1854 imprisoned.
Only IS have escaped during the 'iast
six months. The getaways were
made as follows: from the MINI
street wharf. 2 from the Union Sta,
tIon. from the workhouse, and
from the reformatory.
Prisoners have been occupied IN
innrcving their SURROUNDINGS pN
grading work and constructing bulio
ings They have also been doing In
dustrial work in the manufac'ure
brooms and other salable arucles'
