r. S. GrossIey, Visitor.

DR.. R. S. Grossley, well known
educator of national repute and
former Mississippian, was re-
cent visitor to the state. He
was our first state Jeanes super.
visor and was largely responsible
for selling this program to the
people and laying the foundation
for it's present influence. Legis-
lators had expressed skepticism
and apprehension over the ap-
pointment of a Negro to the De-
partment of Education. DR..
Grfossley, while allaying these
suspicious, did job which had
its influence in shaping the ma
tional Jeanes policy.
Old timers remember his serv-
ice to the state. He also served
as president of the Mates, dur
ing which time a bulletin was is
sued, predecessor to the present
Journal. Leaving Mississippi, he
headed the Delaware State Teach
ers' College for Is years. A re-
cent clipping from New York
cites him for outstanding accom-
plishments and mentions him as
til logical PRISON to fill vacancy
on tn board of education repre-
senting Queens burough.
The immediate purpose of his
visit was to investigate the needs
of institutions applying for facil-
tiles from the government to be
used in the veterans training pro-
gram. Only Okalona Industrials,
Rust College, Jackson College, AL
corn College, and the Prentiss
Institute, were visited as they
were the only ones who had made
application. Other interested Col
leges and high schools, for $500

Athletics

Let's face it as it applies to
athletics. Recent years have seen
an unprecedented rise in athletic
interest in the schools of the
state. Some of the contests are
examples of aptitude, excellent
coaching, and generous sportsman
ship. Good management of these
programs has also improved them
from a spectators standpoint and
has filled the Golfers Of the school
treasury, providing support for
many activities.
Many schools are grouped in
athletic conferences, largest con.
ference being the Bib s whose
football teams have won several
postseason interstate bowl games.
For this program, the school chill
dren and officials are to be con-
graduated. But a situation arises
which must be faced. yours for
clean sports" is not the slogan
Of some of our schools. The fault
is not in our children, sad to say,
butin those who administer the
school program and coach the
teams. Bad leadership, improper
ideals placed before the young is
the charge. In two contests re-
