TO see and how to get there
The tourists are expected to spend
more than $270OO.0OO in Seattle

Top feature of this years Know

famed Lake Washington Floating
Bridge. for instance, Volunteer Park
Seattle's thriving waterfront, the
huge Government Locks in Ballard
the University of Washington cam
pus, the Smith Tower Woodland
Park. the acknowledgements Pike
Place Market, the equally-famed to-
tenn pole in Pioneer Square, anc
many others.
Some of the answers have beer
gratifyingly complete, the mystery
tourists have reported. others a
bit vague, but complete or incom-

ed for a bull elephant to pick him
up and set him back down again.
The average actor who is ply
sically able to stand it is always
anxious for such roles because
they call for a high salaried stunt
scale.
In this case, however, the ami
NAL like many human actors and
actresses, proved to be somewhat
temperamental. This elephant de-
cided to swing Bobby high in the
air. He whirled the actor around
like a yo-yo, then as suddenly as
he decided to get rough, the ele-
plant changed his mind and let
the actor down gently just as he
was supposed to do at first.

college in 1880, it became appar-
ent that if the work of the insti-
tuition was to continue state help
would have to be obtained.
Foreseeing the only salvation of
the college, DR.. Dansby climaxed
his administration by arranging
for the transfer of the college
from private control of the church
to the state system of education.
By an act of the 1910 Mississippi
Legislature, the institution became
a teachers college under the CON
troll of the Board of Trustees of
Institutions of Higher Learning.
The present administrator of
Jackson College is Jacob l.. Red
elk, who was elected president in
1910 and took charge as the fifth
president but the first under the
states administration. During
the Reddix administration, the
state raised the biennial appro-
priation from $4,000 in 1940-'42 to
$4,000 for 1944-'46. Generous
grants were also received from
the Julius Rosenwald Fund and
the General Education Board.
The first students received the
Bachelor of Science degree in
1914. When the state took over
the college, its name was changed
to the Mississippi Negro Training
School, and only two years of col
lege work was given. An act Of
the Mississippi Legislature, in its
1914 session, changed the name of
the institution to Jackson College
for Negro Teachers. In 1912, the
Board of Trustees raised the cur
riculum to a full four-year teach
er education course.
In the words of President Red
dix, who was educated at the Il
linois Institute of Technology and
the University of Chicago:
jackson College is four-year
state teachers college whose main
purpose is to train teachers for
the elementary community schools
of the state. 1t seeks to develop
a fine teacher who can coordinate
and organize agencies to promote
a program of better living The
problems of home-making, diet,
shelter, and health receive major
emphasis, along with the social
ed academic subjects Jackson
College trains its student teachers
in real situations. All graduates
are required to teach in a typical
rural school and to share in the
experience afforded by 4 rural en-
vironment.
''By surveying the needs of a
rural community, the teachers and
students prepare teaching materials
related to those needs. In training
for the elementary schools-for the
present, there will be no different
ial in training on the Kindergarten
primary levels and on the inter
mediate level.
"All graduates will have train
ing for general teaching in the.
elementary and rural schools. How

nomenal material expansion of
the college took place. 1t was
moved from its original site in
North Jackson to a new tract of
land in the Southwest section of
the City of Jackson. Construction
on new buildings on the new site
began in 1902. Aver Hall, a mems
dormitory, Barrett Hall, wo-
mems dormitory, Chiver's Hall,
the administration building, and
farm house were all completed
by the year 1904.
After DR.. Barrett resigned. DR..
Zachary Taylor Hubert of Atlanta,
Ca, was appointed to the presi-
dency. He was the first Negro
president. In his administration,
the course of study was broaden
ed, the college departments organ
lied, and a second building pro-
gram was launched. The Labora-
tory School, the Teachers Cot
tage, and blacksmith shop were
constructed and the campus beau
titled. The enrolment scared to
600 students.
President Hubert resigned in
September, 1927, to accept the
presidency of Langston Univer-
sity, Langston, Okla, and DR.. b
Baldwin Dansby was appointed the
fourth president. For more than
ten years the inadequate financial
support of the college = accentu-
ated by nationwide depression
threatened the very existence of
the institution. After the Ameri-
