Hawks Statement "Ludicrous
Daniels, Sehwinden, Speak
Out In Defense of Tenure

"The protection given teachers
under the tenure law enables them
to maintain better discipline. Further
more, tenure insures a high degree
of staff morale in our public school
system since it does provide security
against unjust discriminatory treat
ment."
A SLAP AT 1000 TEACHERS
Schwinden said, Hawks statement
is slap in the face to the more than
1000 Montana teachers-most of
whom are competent, capable and
dedicated to their work. His unwar-
ranted attack will undermine efforts
to recruit and maintain in Montana
an adequate staff of qualified people.
Coupled with the fact that Montana
now pays next to the lowest salaries
of the eleven western states. this
would be an additional incentive for
teachers to leave Montana. While
Montana undoubtedly has a few of
the poor, inferior teachers to whom
the Republican leader referred, pres
ent law provides for the dismissal or
of certificates of such
teachers. Section 75-25O6 lists in
competency, immortality, intemper-
ance, physical inability, crimes against
state law, refusal to perform duty, or
general neglect of the business of the
school as grounds for board action
against teacher.
''The Speakers statement is
ludicrous attempt to delude the citi-
zens of Montana and steer their in
terest away from the real needs of
educational program.
While our sister states systematically
improve and build to fulfill their
destiny we are bent on cutting back
md digging in like prairie gophers,"

Spots of Interest in the

Spots of Interest IN The
State
The Mississippi Civil War
Centennial Committee has
several articles on interest
ing places in the state,
among them is the Missis-
sippi Delta. Some people
think of the Delta as part
of the state most affected
by the War, and its recon
struction period. Nothing
could be further from the
truth.
The Mississippi Delta
at that time was largely a
swamp land, inhabited by
snakes and mosquitoes,
with a few Indians thrown
in to make the going hard
er for the Yankees who
were making futile at
tempts to penetrate its
depths from a land attack
on VickSburg.
There were very few cot
ton plantations in the Delta
before the late 1905, and
when it was settled, it was
mostly by carpetbaggers
and northern mills who
needed cotton from the fast
growing soil. Though the
land was developed for
northern commerce, this
element was soon run out
of the area, as Mississip-
plans took back the gov
ernment of the Magnolia
state.
Then a great number of
ex- Confederate soldiers
from war torn parts of the
states poured into the flat
lands, rapidly developing it
into the most progressive
and richest part of the
state. These people who
had lost a war but were
determined not to lose a
way of life, built up the Ie-
gend of the pre-war Delta
plantation life. BY working
night and day, they turned

Ole Ross May Not Be So Bad;
Football Takes The Spotlight

BY this time, everyone
is familiar with the COM
mitment of the Standard
Oil Company to construct
refinery on the Gulf
Coast. The action has been
called the greatest single
industrial development op-
portunity ever presented
to the people of Mississippi.
1t must seem strange to
some, however, that the
negotiations for the plant
took place during Gov.
Ross Barnett's administra-
ton. 1t has been popular
notion in some quarters
that the policies of former
Gov. ]. P. Coleman, as con-
traSted with those of our
present Chief Executive,
were much more effective
in procuring industry for
the state.
We did not vote for Gov.
Barnett in the last elect
ion. AS a matter of fact, we
worked actively for anoth-
er candidate. We do feel,
though, that the criticism
which our present governor
has received has, in large
part, been unjustified. AS a
matter of example, we
think that in years to come
the people will see that his
industrial program was a
sound and effective one.
We haven't seen 'em in
action yet, but the LeXing-
ton High Band members
must be planning to put on
quite a show during their
appearances this year. We
