some. THINGS NESHOBA COUN-
s'TY IS DOING EDUCATlONALlY

The old school year has passed and
the schools are opening tue session
4 pf 1929. AS we enter the new schol-
y astic year, 1t Is well for us to look
back to zee .wha6 has been accom-
plished during the past year and try
B to ascertain the progress we Are
D making educationally
A During the past year a greLter
number OF children were in school
j than ever before In the history Of the
county. and a greater per cent of
+, them doing high school work than
u at any previous time. The public
n schools were maintained for five and
n one half months, the longest term
g that Neshoba has ever had. A good
per cent OF the teachers had College
4 and Normal training. and q high
n grade OF work was done, as II whole
wide awake, enthusiastic teachers
~ welded an influence in great many
Il communities for better things, and
eactive Parent Teachers Associations
were organized. Thru the associa-
tions great Improvements were made
In the school buildings and on the
Esschool grounds. A great many Of
the school rooms were ceiled that
4 had not been ceiled before, and
broken windows were repaired and
more lights provided. In many OF
the schools, shades were provided to
4 protect the eyes Of the children, and
4 more comfortable desk were bought
Nor made. Some OF the parents real
ized the need OF better blackboards
n and made provision for them. Par
q sfTents have co-operated In the plant
,Ling OF trees, shrubs and flowers on
the school grounds. Realizing that
q the supply OF water for the school is
IA very important item, many of the
schools have taken steps to provide
4 plenty oigood sanitary waterfor the
children. These, and many other
Fs things have made conditions much
q better for the mental, moral and
physicnl welfare oi the boys strsstlsAA stlAA.si j MI
! Tin the rural schools.
M OF all the improvements that have
been made, we cannot speak of one
III greater than the fact that ten new
modern school buildings are being
bcompleted for occupancy this year
Practically all OF these buildings are
In the newly consolidated school
ydistricts OF the cou nty. They arr
sbuilt according to the latest plans
Tor school house construction, ant
are being equipped thruout with al

Three years ago, this county had

ploy competent teachers to teach tn,

come when no community can long

Annapolis, Md, Jan. Is. (Speclal)
William S. Gordy il, of Sails
1ury, newly elected State COmptrol-
Ter, took the oath of office today IN
Ter the conditions unprecedented IN
the history of the State, so far as
records show. He was sworn in by
Governor Ritchie in the sick cham
Der of the latter, who has been con-
ined to the Executive Mansion for
,he last 10 days with influenza ana
bronchitis.
Under the State Constitution the
Comptroller is required to qualify
on the third Monday in January,
and the oath in the past, has been
administered in the Executive offices
at the State House.
Governor Richie, who is now
much improved, was propped up III
d chair for the administration of the
oath, which took place at 4 o'clock.
There were present for the ceremony
Major E. Brooke Lee. whom MI.
Gordy succeeds; Col. Harry j. Hop
kins, for many years chief clerk to
the Comptroller; Secretary OF state
Philip B. Perlman; Executive Secre-
tary W. Oscar Anderson; the Cover
nor's mother, Mrs. Albert Richie,
and the Governors two nurses.
Besides exchanges of compliments
and well wishes for the admlnlstra-
lion of the new Comptroller, the un-
usual conditions attending Mr.. Cor
dy's going into office was the subject
of a little good-natured comment be-
tween himself and the Chief EXecu-
tive
Following the administration OF
the oath. Mr.. Gordy was escorted to
the office of the Comptroller by
Major Lee and Chief Clerk Hopkins.
Comptroller Gordy expects to spend
some time Indianapolis during the
session of the Legislature. With
Mrs. G0rdy he is staying at CarVei
Hall.
The fact that employees in the var
ious State offices come within the
scope of the merit system, Mr.. Cor
DIV had no announcements of appoint
ments to make. 1t is understood
therefore. that the entire force, from
Colonel Hopkins down, will b" re-
tanned.
