,wg ,,l, , ,,, .,,,.,.- .... . ..--.....,.W.....,.,,..-'---f-'-- ANNOUNCEMENT , In sending out announcements for our.fifth session, we feel like it is our first duty to express our appreciation to those boys and girls who, by their loyal support and studious application, have contributed so much to the success of the past session. It has always been our idea that the success or failure of a school depended in a great measure on the character of the boys and girls who make up the student body of that school. We appreciate the hundred and twelve pupils sent us by a generous public, and only hope that your sons and daughters have carried back to your homes what they left behind them-memories of a pleasant and well-spent session. We cannot refrain from expressing our appreciation to our fel- low townsmen for the interest manifested in the comfort and welfare of the boys and girls sent in our midst as pupils. Your solicitude that their stay among us might be pleasant, your hospitable welcome 'extended them, your exertions that there might be nothing except that which is pure and en- nobling in the environment of the Agricultural High School -4.how that the Board of Education made no mistake when they entrusted the future of the Agricultural High School to your care. We feel especially grateful to the people of Kemper County for the financial support given to the County Agri- cultural High Schoolu The one mill tax support fund, and ten thousand dollars' dormitory fund, with which you have taxed yourselves, demonstrate that you recognize the fact that the intelligence, progress and morals of a community are measured by the support that it gives church and school. In appreciation of your sacrifices, it will ever be the effort of those in authority to use the funds economically and judiciously, to give the boys and girls of Kemper County

8 KEMPER COUNTY AGRICULTURAL an opportunity of a high school education at a minimum cost, and to return them to you with an ambition to be and do something in life--to be producers of wealth and not par- asites on society. We beg you to remember that the school' is yours, supported by you, and that in maintaining your Agricultural High School you offer to your children an equal opportunity in life with others and arouse a hope in the heart of the poor boy and girl that never existed before. History and Present Status of School For the last twenty years the progressive educators have known that our system of education has been too tradi- tional-that our education appealed chiefly to professional life and the practical side of life was neglected. They de- plored the fact that Southern youth could not do with his hands-that he rather looked down on manual labor as menial, and that the ambition of the country youth led to the professions or to those callings which lured him from coun- try life. They knew that if the resources of Mississippi were conserved and developed by her sons, if rural life-the hope of the nation-was preserved, there must be injected into our school system an agricultural and home-making spirit. The result was the enactment of the law establish- ing the County Agricultural High School-a school that oifers to the country boy and girl an equal opportunity and equipment for life which his more favored urban cousins enjoy: a school that dignifies labor, and recognizes that the man in overalls can be as intelligent and as worthy of re- spect as the merchant, banker, professional man or anybody else-a school that gives to the state a citizenship educated in this true sense, having heads to think with, hands to do with, hearts to purpose with, and souls to adore God and Nature. The Kemper County Agricultural High School was estab- lished under an Act of the Legislature of 1910, which au- thorizes the School Board of any County to locate such a school, and requires the Supervisors of the County to make
