PROF. K. p. MCGEE AND HIS WORK

A few years ago Yazoo High School No. 2 was given
the department of Trades for boys The plot was select
ed, material purchased, carpenter paid building con-
struced Because the entire building not being used
by the boys department. the Home Economics for girls
was given space in it. Later it discovered that both
these departments could not be properly directed in
one building and a Drive launched build Trade
shop for the boys instead of Home Economics build
ing for girls Two years before enough funds had
been raised to purchase material and pay carpenter
Prof r. p MCGEE, graduate of Piney Woods School
and Tuskegee Institute Alabama, sent Director
of Trades for Yazoo High School No. 2 Prof MCGEE had
held this position for at Pney Woods School
and fully prepared and experienced. The State
Superintendent of Trades had his work at Pney
Woods and it had served as his recommendation.
During Prof. McGees first term the department
took new interest There little or equipment,
only few handsaws and hammers but before the term
over handsome electric combination lathe was
installed.
At the beginning of this term, the drive was contin
ued for the purpose of raising funds for the Trade
shop and glad to it quite successful. This
time in determining the cost of the finished building there
nothing to consider but the price of material Prof
MCGEE to take charge of the construction school
project for the boys In January work started the
building Unfortunately weather conditions hndered the
progress greatly but in the face of such long and hard
winter, with the exception of plumbing and painting, the
building will be practically finished at commencement
The wiring also, is the work of the boys. The boys will
begin work in the shop at the opening of next term and
the time another piece of machinery will be in
stalled bandsaw. Another pleasing fact is every piece
of work that made and sold to the equipment fund
and before many years the shop will be completely equip
ped with all necessary machinery and tools.
l feel safe in saying that the public will that
the building fine piece of workmanship for the first
building project of class of boys.

Last September the doors of hundreds of high

INAUGURAL
Law FOUND TO
CONTAIN FLAW
Nation Could Be Without
President One Day if
Alignment Close
By EDWARD w. LEWIS
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Sept. % (UP)
The United States may be without
a president January goth if the
party alignment in the new house
is close, a study of statutes re-
vealS.
The novel possibility was viewed
hv congressional legal experts as
a technical danger arising out of
the Norris "lame duck" amend
ment, which calls for inauguration
of the next president on January
20 instead of March 4.
Under a perfecting bill passed
last session congress meets next
year on January 5. The next day
the house and senate must meet in
joint session to ratify the presl-
Dental electoral vote.
me Joint session cannot be held
unless the new house has formally
organized with election of speak
err. This election could be delayed
if Republican and Democratic
house seats are near a balance and
bloc of liberals" is thus en-
abled to carry out its threat to
hold up organization.
LAW SETS DEADLlNE
Unless a speaker is elected by
l p. M, January 6, the ratifica-
ton formality cannot take place.
No provision is in the law for such
an eXigency.
The so-called liberal" bloc was
organized in the closing days of
the last session for the avowed
purpose of preventing election OF
a speaker in the next congress
until its demands for action on
various pet" bills are met. Most
of the 80 original members, drawn
from all 10 Ties, are expected to
be reelected.
A close party division giving
the bloc the balance of power con-
ceivably could force a deadlock
which would prevent organization
of the house past January 20. In
that event the nation would be
without a president temporarily.
The constitution has no provision
to meet such a crisis.
The Norris amendment, cruX Of
the legal tangle, not only changed
the Inauguration date but abol-
ished the "lame duck" session of
congress. In past presidential
years the electoral ratification
ceremony has taken place in
ELAINE duck" congress, the organ
ization of which had been perfect
ed prior to the presidential cleo
ton. The previous ratification was
the second Wednesday in Febru-
airy.
CALLS FOR JOINT SESSION
The law passed June 5, 1884,
calling for joint session virtually
