Old School Report
Shows Changes
During so Years

The past half century has seen
many and notable changes and
developments in Jackson county
and not the least of these has been
the evolution in the schools.
Figures in a biennial report
published by the Mississippi
State Department of Education
show that in Jackson county
there III now nearly four times
as many educable children taught
by nearly eight times as many
teachers who are paid an est;-
mated average salary five times
as much.
McGuffey's Readers, Webster's
and Swinton's Spoilers Apple
tons Biographies, Barnes His
tories and Robinson's and Barnes
arithmetic books stuffed the book
satchels of those little boys and
girls of SO years ago with an ac-
knowledged lack of uniformity
of textbooks in this county"
The difficulty in inducing the
patrons to purchase the books
was lamented in the report of
H. L. Howe, county superinten-
dent, contained in the book which
is now in the possession of the
present superintendent, A. F. Nc
gehee.
Educable Children
For the session of 1878 there
were 1871 educable children and
last year, with very little change
this year. there are 10000 children
of school age who should be in
school. The average monthly
enrolment totalled 1747 child
rem, according to those 10th CEN
fury figures, and now there is
an average of 1000 enrolled each
month in the county and city
schools with an average daily at
tendance of 1918 in the good old
days and 6,088 today.
About $3.50 was expended for
teachers salaries in the 1888
session and, according to figures
given by Mr.. Megehee, about $412-
500 is currently divided among
200 white and 80 negro teachers.
Fifty years ago there were only
35 white and colored teachers in
the profession in this county.
This meant the average pay for a
teacher in 1878 was $32.65. To-
day a negro teacher averages
about $3.50 a month and a white
teacher about SITS, resulting in
a general average of between
$3.50 and $165 a month, Mr.. Me-
gehee said.
There's one thing the school
child would have heartily APP
proved of about the 50-year-ago
session - it length. In Jackson
county the school term was for
only 80 teaching day but now
classes are taught 100 days!

Bets Said To
Help Mining

PERTH, Observation-Disclosures
a new policeman goes to Collie he
learns one thing: Never arrest
man for betting. Collie is a thriv-
ing coal-mining town of 5000 peo-
pie 100 miles south of Perth.
Collie claims the best record of
any mining town in Australia,
some say in the world. There is
little crime, few DRINKS, a high
rate of production and virtually
no absenteeism. Many say Collie
has this happy record because the
betting laws are not enforced.
Says Mayor John P. Gillespie,
who also is inspector of mines:
THE betting freedom has done
no harm to the town, and moral
standards are higher than in most
towns" Each Saturday about a
dozen boolxmakers set up their
radio receivers and full betting
gear in Throssell Street. About
1000 men sit on boxes in the
street and listen to the races, or
stand in hotel bars and have an
occasional flutter with the books.

QUESTIONS ACCURACY

Editor, The Citizen:
II would seem that some one
should spring to the defense of
Key West, after the speeches by
senator Pepper yesterday in
Washington, as quoted. today in
the Miami Herald.
The Senator has never been no
ted for the use OF facts in his
peeOhes, for facts have a ten
dcncy 70 cramp a speakers style.
However, he says that 1850 fam
Ties are living in sub-standard
housing here. meaning of course
sluns that ought 20 be destroyed.
The use Of a little arithmetic
would indicate we are all slum
jewellers. AZ the standard rate of
IA persons per family the total
Is 1925. According to most re-
ports our normal population
doesn't exceed that by very
many. But bear in mind we have
a large number of units built and
owned by various government
al authorities. which of course
naturally must be perfect.
The conclusion therefore is in
eseapable. that we are all slum
jewellers. Now, Mr.. Editor, I
didn't know you were in distress.
| didn't know in my ignorance
that l was dwelling under con-
diuohs that would induce Grim
NAL tendencies. know at least
500 residences that I had admired
through the year, and would like
20 live in. It's terrible now to
learn they are nothing but slums.
Unfortunately I am only a
property owner and tax payer, so
my voice will not be heard.
You take it from here, Mr..
