III retiring rom the posltlon ot
 superintendent of the Fairfield schools, Prof. F. D. Graves gave stat statement for publication Saturday which indicates his deep chagrin over the fact that his experience, observa- ticn and education, were all swept away so that his well studied plans for Fairfield were not allowed to ma terialize."
 In his statement Professor Graves charges the city with not providing the best it could afford for the chil- dren of Fairfield and employing poorly equipped teachers and that there was withheld from those boys and girls, students of Fairfield, the higher kind of training which all ambitious persons desire. He closes by sug gesting that the parents see to it that the "best" is provided by the city in the future.
 The statement of Professor Graves following as 1t does the announce ment of Prof. B. B. Baker, that he intends to build in Faufield sys-
 tenn of schools just es good as any available in this section, will prob- ably cause considerabie discussion.

 the Mississippi Agricultural and
 Mechanic college, where he will ad- | dress the students of the summer | schools He will return to Tusca- | loosa, where he will deliver
 similar talk at the University of Ala | bama summer school, and then to | 1ln | young ladies are studying this sum mer. pr. Glasgow will appeal to the | young women to enter the profession | of nursing, pointing out the efforts | of the medical profession to so raise the standard of entrance examination so as make the work hard enough to challenge the mental equipment of the very best graduates this section affords. He has pointed cut before in addresses that to fulfill the sacred injunction of the Risen Lord, be servant of all; that no young women could choose a profession with great
 CT opportunities, or one that will pro- duce such solace and satisfaction to
 a heart that warns towards human ity. Dr. Glasgow told The Age-Herald bureau Saturday that his talks to the
 various colleges had proven to be
 the most advantageous manner of interesting the higher type of wom- anhood in this state and that the
 work had been very gratifying. He
 added that when the classes start on
 September l, he believed the enroll ment would be far greater than the
 most optimistic hoped for. He will
 be away on the present trip about five or six days.
