The Mississippi laws pertaining

County superintendent of Educa-
ton puts it, so hopelessly mud
died that no one can understand
and interpret them" There is a
story going around the state about
bill which was introduced in the
State Legislature two years ago.
The bill, pertaining to public edu-
cation, was passed and written
into law. No one seemed to be
able to understand it. The Attor-
ney General stated that one of
the first persons asking for an
Interpretation was the man who
wrote the bill
The inadequacy of the laws is
evident in a situation now exist

est oil fields, has on hand $250,000.

loss of potential school money
due to corruption on the part of

Actually the people in MisSis-
Sippi cannot be blamed for the
apathy that is rife The shortage
of public funds for public schools
began in 1880, when the state de-
cided to go into the banking bus
mess. The Mississippi Legislature
chartered the Planters Bank with
an authorized capital of $3,000,000
In order to raise the money, they
granted that Sixteenth Section
lands be leased up to SO years,
with the proceeds of the leases to
be invested in bank stock. A vast

HEALTH OFFICER
Urges Parents To
Look Out For Kid
Physical Defects

One out of three of our MiSsis
sippi school-age children have UNI
treated physical defects. And
alarmingly so, often these phys
ical defects have accompanying
emotional ones which, singly or
together, interfere with school
achievement and adjustment.
Seemingly many parents, while
careful to guard the health of the
young child, overlook the fact
that physical defects and diseases
may damage the health progress
at any age level. Such oversight
or neglect directly affects the
school progress of the child, for
a definite relationship exists be-
tween health status and school
achievement
Our studies of Mississippi
school children reveal that the
number of physical defects in
crease with age to about II or Is.
AT the age of 5, the average num-
Der of defects is about As per 100
children. At II years of age, the
average is SO per 100 children.
Many of these defects are minor.
but if unnoticed and untreated
may cause serious impairment
later on.
Thorough our school health pro-
gram we are doing everything
possible, with our present person
mel and budget to protect t h e
health Of the pupils and to bring
to light existing defects in order
that they may be corrected. But
our records show that less than
one-half of the remedial defects
revealed in our school health ex-
aminations are corrected.
There is no excuse for this con-
ditlon to exist in our state today
with all the facilities available
for good health, and with the
| present economic status of our
population. For children who need
financial assistance in having cor
rections, there is a fund made pos
sible by the legislature and local
resources. .ag
Somehow we must get across
to a large segment of our par
ents- parents who are able to pro-
vide adequate health care for
their families the terrific price
each child pays for a neglected
remedial defect, The rightful
place of a child in the classroom
and on the playground is deter
mined in a large measure by his
health status. Yet many child is

THIRD:The funds derived from
Sixteenth Section lands should be
distributed throughout the coun-
ties where they are needed-pos-
sibly throughout the entire state.
The example of the Baxterville
and Sumrall schools in Lamar
County is ample basis for this
recommendation.
FOURTH. The length of leases
should be made, by law, not to
.exceep one Year The Delta coun-
ties have shown that this is a
sound business policy. And, too,
the schools need supporting each
year, not every 80 years.
FIFTH: The people should be
informed of their heritage. Their
lands should be, as in Mobile
County, Alabama, marked off 50
as to promote interest in their
property.
These recommendations, as stat
ed in the Davis Report, are not
the opinions of one man. They
represent the opinions of the ma
iority of educators in the state.
From the study of public school
lands, it is obvious that the rec
ommendations are sound
That the Davis Report is be-
ginning to awaken the entire
state is evidenced by an ever in
creasing number of supporters.
Notable among these are the state
Junior Chamber of Commerce and
the state PTA. At a recent meet
ing of the Annual School Admin
istrators' Conference, Bruce Ault-
man, president Of the State Junior
Chamber of Commerce said, APP
proximately 1000 young men in
36 organizations will give willing
~ of their time, talent and money
toward helping further better
management Of Sixteenth, Section
lands for the support of our pub
lie schools" At the same meeting,
Mrs. L. w. Olston, president of
1.-The state PTA, declared, "The
PTA stands ready to support the
movement for promoting the well
fare of the children of Mississippi
by securing more money for pub
lie schools"
The concluding paragraph OF
the Davis Report states: "Missis-
sippi now ranks at the bottom OF
the forty-eight states for the ma
ton in providing public funds for
her public schools. If the state
twill now safeguard the income
from its public school land it can
more than double the per capita
| funds available per child, and of
/ fer an education program in the
future for its young people above
the average for the nation as a
whole.
Yes, the Sixteenth Sections are
bringing q long needed light into
state whose educational picture
/ has been a gloomy one for over
| 100 years.
The Petal paper. [volume] (Petal, Miss.) 1953-19??, 1956-10-04
THE PETAL PAPER

thought on the subject of Six
teenth Sections. Typical of an at
titude of mind is this reply from
police office. Sixteenth Sec
tons, huh?" He scratched his
head. We'll, I'll tell you this: If
you want to haul load of pine
knots or cut a few trees, do it on
the Sixteenth Sections. That's
school land and can't nobody
bother you" The police officer
was not alone in his opinion. From
asking the man on the street in
various towns throughout h e
state, it is evident that a total
lack of understanding of the ex-
listing school lands, and the prob
lens surrounding these lands, is
prevalent. Any program of better
management cannot work to the
fullest benefit of the people until
the people of the state have a
better understanding of the po-
tential wealth to be had for their
children, and themselves, from
the public school lands.
If the people living in the states
which have Sixteenth Section
lands are to realize a reduction
in taxes, and at the same time
provide more money for their
schools, the recommendations as
stated in the Davis Report must be
followed. The recommendations
given apply to Mississippi; how
ever, as stated before, the basic
problems throughout the states
having Federal land grants are
the same. 1t is logically assumed
that basic solution can solve a
basic problem.
FIRST: Proper management OF
Sixteenth. Section lands is lmper-
alive. By a program of reforesta-
ton, lands that are uncultivated
could yield. within twenty years,
from Htimber alone, an approx
mate 'Sl0,O00,000, possibly up to
$40, 100000 inasmuch as Missis-
sippi is rapidly growing in indus
tries dependent upon forest prod
ucts. And in addition to. timber
sales, there are oil leases, royal
ties, and rental of commercial
properties and agricultural leases
which would produce another
$40, 100000. What with the growth
of Mississippi as an oil state, the
possibility is far greater than is
shown in the Davis Report.
SECOND: The state laws will
have to be made understandable
They will necessarily have to be
made to serve the people of the
state. There are several instances
where funds derived from the sale
Of timber on Sixteenth Sections
have been paid, in part, to the
lease holder. This is a direct Vio-
latlOn of existing state laws. Nc
one seems to know what to dc
about 1t. In the state it is almost
impossible to get an attorney to
take a case where laws concern
ing public school lands are in
