LETTER FROM ASSISTANT
SUPT. OF EDUCATION

Mississippi has approximately
fifty million dollars invested In
public school property. Not
more than one-third of this prop
|erty is adequately protected with
fire and tornado insurance.
During the past year several
school buildings in the state were
destroyed by fire, and in most OF
these eases, the insurance protec-
ton was very low. Due to this
fact, a great burden has been
shifted to the people of these dis
tricts in the matter of replacing
this school property. We wish
to call this matter to the atten-
ton of the trustees and school
people of every community of the
state and insist that wherever
possible they carry adequate in
surance to cover any loss which
might occur.
Every precautuion should be
used to eliminate possible haz-
ards, The school buildings should
be kept clean and orderly, and
the heating equipment of every
building should be checked and
corrections made where neces-
sary in order to eliminate every
hazard possible The people of
Mississippi are indeed proud of
the wonderful school buildings
and those in charge of the
schools should show their appre-
citation by properly caring for
these buildings and protecting
them against possible loss from
fire.

farmers not to gin wet cotton.
"The situation is serious"
stated Commissioner Holton.
Continued rains during tn e

One of the surveys has been
made directly through Durant

there will be organized here next

with peace strength of officers and

Congress Is expected to provide
funds next year for the organization
Of additional units throughout the

get out of this IL units, with a
strength of 33 commissioned officers
and 539 enlisted men, with potential
peace strength of 33 officers and 686
enlisted men. In addition, there will
be added another warrant officer for

The present facilities Of the Guard
are entirely unsuitable, the greater
number being in an old hotel build
ing at Sixth street and Pennsylvania
avenue, constructed more than a hun
dred years ago.
Aside from the housing for the
troops and their field equipment, the
formation of these organizations will
call for a considerable increase in
the automotive equipment, and some
buildings must be provided to pro-
tect these from the weather. These
include % reconnaissance trucks, 66
one-and-a- -half-ton trucks, 70 two
a-half-ton trucks, flve-ton

guns for the Coast Artillery.
The Coast Artillery equipment now
is located on the Washington Chan
mel water front in sheet iron covered
buildings, adjacent to the Coast Ar
tillery armory. However, these build
lngs now are in bad state of repair.
SO much so that the roof does not
provide protection from the weather.
