Tishomingo County Agricultural High School 15 BUILDINGS ' On our beautiful campus are three main buildings con- stituting the. Tishomingo County Agricultural High School. The administration building is very up-to-date, built by a late plan of architecture, and is well equipped with modern school furniture. It contains six class rooms and a large auditorium. The boys dormitory is a new brick structure, containing thirty-two rooms, well ventilated and lighted. Each room is furnished with bedstead, mattress, springs, chairs, table, dresser, bowl and pitcher. The boys in the dormitory will be under the direct control of the Superintendent and the men teachers. The girls' dormitory, located on the opposite side of the campus from the boys' dormitory, is much larger and more commodious, includes the dining hall and cooking de- partment. The kitchen contains two large range stoves with hot water attachment. The rooms are furnished with the same kind of furni- ture as the boys dormitory. The girls will be under the im- mediate control of the matron and lady teachers. In addition to these buildings, there is a. good barn for storage purposes and live stock, a bungalow for the Super- intendent, and a farm shop with class room connected. .Qii GROUNDS These consist of our beautiful campus and little farm. The former contains about seven acres, and the latter about eighteen. Part of the farm is in pasture, but most of it is cultivated. On the campus is found the main school build- ing and dormitories, the Supe'rintendent's home and Agri- cultural building. Here We also find basket ball courts, ten- nis courts, etc. The campus is perfectly drained. The land- scape gardner could not add to its contour. Broad gravel driveways and sidewalks are found running across the cam- pus in several directions. Many beautiful shade trees are found on all parts of the campus. A great deal of shrub- bery is growing in many places, which adds to the beauty of the grounds.

Tishomingo County Agricultural High School 17 I HEALTH , Tishomingo is a regular health resort. Much has been said of improving Jackson Springs and putting up buildings for the accommodation of visitors. The water is as good as can be found in the state. This part of the county and state is as high as any section in North Mississippi. We feel that we cannot say too much for the healthfulness of our sur- roundings. WATER Water is pumped from a deep Well into a high tank Where it finds its Way into the dormitories. Hot and cold baths are furnished both dormitories. MORAL SURROUNEDINGS A great number of the immoral influences of the larger cities are lacking in our town. Our citizens take pride in inviting the boys and girls of the school to attend Sunday School and preaching every Sunday. The Baptist, Metho- dist and Christian denominations have Sunday School every Sunday. There is preaching in at least one of the churches every Sunday. The moral influence of church Work here is such as to be of great benefit to students attending the Agri- cultural High School. We commend these things to our friends and patrons. DISCIPLINE The government of the school is in the hands of the Superintendent and his assistants, Who realize that the greatest problem of any school is its discipline. It is the duty of the school to train for citizenship. Obedience to rule in school means obedience to law out of school. We have no code of rules. Do Tight is the one rule We adhere to. All pupils have a sense of right, and our discip-
